We have been back from vacay in Hawai’i for almost a month and I still think about our wonderful server and the great experience we had here. I rarely write reviews but I had to write a review for this experience. I truly believe staff makes or breaks a dining experience and our server Aloha was one of the kindest and most beautiful souls. We had shown up at a busier time for dinner . We had been sitting for a little while before Aloha could get to us. We were enjoying the sunset sitting outside . We had no problem waiting a bit. I could tell she was a bit flustered knowing we had been seated for a little while and that alone showed the care she has for her tables. We greeted her warmly and the tension seemed to ease in her face. She was so knowledgeable about the menu and explained the best dishes for our preferences. Her recommendations were spot on and the food was DELICIOUS! My fiancé had the fried rice and I had the poke burger. It was SO SO DELICIOUS ! Not to mention this restaurant is SO CUTE! The atmosphere is a total tiki vibe. We had the coconut ice cream and I said it was everything I had ever dreamed of ? cause it was . A huge thann you to Aloha for her kindness and care to us while we were there. If you go ask for her!

Like Cheers, your among friends here from the friendly greeting to very good food. My recommendation: Onion rings and the chef's amazing Seafood Grille Fried Rice. Full of shrimp, Mahi, and scallops. I don't know what the base is for the rice but the texture and flavor just cannot be beat on this island! Go get some, but leave a little for me.

Solid, if not spectacular, spot for local seafood meal. The spearfish Hawaiian style was flavorful, even if portion was a bit small. Seafood fried rice had nice variety and delicious. Coconut shrimp pupu a bit overdone but nice coconut dipping sauce.Parking: Easiest place to park is on top level in the back, since you enter on second story of establishment.

Excellent freshly caught local fish! Stop here for lunch as you are adventuring around the island. This place was recommended by the local dive shop as "where the locals eat". We had the catch of the day, very delicious.

Ate dinner there last night! All aspects of the experience were fantastic. The food was delicious, lots of fun flavors with the sauces. We all had the prime rib dinner, and each bite was perfect. The chicken wings and coconut shrimp tasted soooo yummy! Parking was easy, and the sunset was gorgeous. The staff is super kind, and everyone comes across as genuinely nice. That's refreshing! It's a fun and chill vibe, loved the music playing too. I have zero complaints, will be coming here regularly.
