Came here as a walk-in for brunch with my father on a Sunday. No table-side seating, only bar counter was open! Definitely opt to make reservations for the weekend. It was my first time and I was very excited to try this place, ever since they opened! Just haven't really got around to coming here until now. Dad ordered the spider crab eggs benedict while I wasn't as hungry and got the clam chowder. Had I been hungrier, I would have ordered the mushroom risotto with shrimp add-on, or the beef short rib loco moco. We got oysters on the half shell as an appetizer while drinks were hot milk tea (Earl Grey for dad) and a cold strawberry milk tea for myself. Clam chowder was nicely seasoned, and well buttered and toasted sour dough bread. Nice to make me feel comfortably full for someone who doesn't prefer breakfast/brunch. Oyster app was okay. A little fishy but fresh enough (you get 5 pieces - 11 months ago, they provided 6 pieces...). I was disappointed by dad's eggs benedict dish. Why ever is it a thing now to only serve one benedict on half an English muffin? Eggs benedict dishes should come in pairs of two poached eggs!! That threw me off. The dish also has a little homemade hash brown patty. The spider crab itself was nicely plump. There were little bits of spinach underneath and some slightly smears of avocado and tomato. Portion size on first glance looks disappointing. I saw fhe table next to me get the risotto *nicely portioned and looked appetizing, but the garlic chicken waffles dish looked dry and unappetizing. Kind of puny pieces of fried chicken too. The milk tea was nice and light, not too sweet (sweetened with honey). The strawberry milk tea was disappointing. It tasted like very faintly flavored strawberry milk with a hint of tea. Portion is small for $8! Don't get it. Just get a carton of strawberry milk at the grocery store. Service is excellent! Location is very nicely situated right inside the Kahala Foodland Farms. Interior and ambiance are great for gatherings or a cute brunch date. I would go back to try the loco moco and compare it to Waioli's. Or the Breakfast Bowl or mushroom risotto. But for now, my expectations were not met. read more

Et Al. was such a delight! Great customer service from phone reservations until the day of my mom's surprise brunch. When I made the reservations, I was in Texas. All the information I got from et al. was from word of mouth, their website, and yelp pictures. Making reservations from Texas came to my advantage. I made reservations a couple of months ago and at that time it was 5 hours difference. As I was ending my day, Hawaii was almost to lunch time. On the day of the surprise celebration, the restaurant wasn't too busy, but slowly crowds were arriving. Reservations for a large party are highly recommended! I spoke with Judy who was coincidentally our main server and made additional requests. She was amazing! Like many moms, my mom is the type of person who loves to take care of her family, but to ensure that didn't happen, I warned Judy ahead of time. Thank you, Judy, for being flexible to my insane family and myself. I ordered the coconut chia parfait with bacon, a Prosecco, and a lavendar lemonade. My family ordered the mochi waffles, brisket loco moco, rigatoni, and two ulu hashbrowns with any style eggs. The food came out quickly, and the food tasted delicious! My SIL and I ate the same dish and we were surprised how delicious it was. I cannot express how good the parfait was, and I didn't feel overly full. You must try it! The drinks had a nice touch to them as well. The lavendar lemonade had an actual lavendar on top! My SIL got the Ube Latte... she loved it so much that she ordered another one! I don't drink coffee so I have to take her word on it. Besides.. anything with ube is delicious, right?! The staff at et al. deserves a round of applause. It was an amazing service. Everyone worked together to clear the dishes and refill water. Thank you for allowing us to sing Happy Birthday and having me be extra loud during the song. Haha! You guys are amazing!! read more

My friend and I wanted to do brunch here and this spot is on OpenTable so it was easy to make reservations! We started off with cocktails because what's a brunch without them! I got a peach Bellini and my friend got an espresso martini. We both enjoyed our drinks. For food, we got the breakfast bowl, braised short rib loco loco and the mochi waffles. The breakfast bowl was pretty good! Pork belly was tender and it felt healthy and filling with all the veggies. It reminded me of a breakfast bibimbap. The loco moco was just ok, the meat had a weird aftertaste to me but the crispy onions were a nice touch to the dish. The mochi waffle was delicious! We had it towards the end of our meal so it was like dessert. Perfectly crispy and chewy and the blueberry compote and whipped cream went so well with it. A super cute and classy place for brunch! Our server was friendly and efficient. The chef also came by to ask if everything was ok which was nice. read more

This is located inside the Kahala foodland. I went here for happy hour with my friends and the food was reasonably priced and I enjoyed the moscato they had I'm in their happy hour menu! The dishes were shareable and the fries were so crispy and fresh! I would recommend getting the sliders as well. They were smash burger style. read more

Alright I finally tried this place after all these years. Nice interior, seemed kind of modern, not overly decorated, with nice greenery to add some warmth. Service was good, no issues at all. Had brunch with a girlfriend for dine in and everything was delicious. I tried their ube latte, chowder, and crab Benedict. The latte was not too sweet and had a good mix of bitter from the espresso and the creamy and earthy sweetness from the ube cream foam. The chowder was not too heavy, more brothy, and it was a good portion of veg and seafood. Wish the bread was toasted well but not burnt, but it wasn't inedible so all good!! The soft shell crab Benedict was amazing! The crab was a perfect fry and size for the English muffin. Egg was runny. And the hollandaise was buttery and had the acid needed for such a rich and delish sauce. Hash brown was crunchy! I would come back again if the consistency stays at this level. Glad I finally tried it again. read more

Overall, very good food and service. Server Cooper was excellent - greeted us, offered beverages, menu Q&As, etc. After a glass of wine, went with the short rib arancini appetizer and shared the grilled Kona kampachi and bulgogi pizza as entrees. Topped off the night with the banana bread pudding with mango sorbet. Nice, clean eatery - would be more comfortable if there were shades to protect diners from the parking lot headlights. Quality food and service throughout - only shortfall was a more enthusiastic greeting upon arrival and when leaving... read more

There aren't too many places to on the east side of Oahu but as you come closer to town (Kahala) you'll find et al. I've made the trek here from the west side to dine with my extended family. et al. is located inside Foodland in a separate dining area. Reservations are a must as it's still quite a popular place to dine. Parking is tight as it's shared parking with Foodland and the adjacent stores. Now the food: I came for the Lobster roll. Shared some mushroom risotto and have ordered the pork belly breakfast bowl on many occasions. Lobster roll was good but I'm wanting a buttery dip (yes it's bad) to go with it. Decent and I'd come back for it. Mushroom risotto was the right consistency but I was expecting an earthier taste to something touted as mushroom risotto. Again not mad at it but my expectations were high. They had me at pork belly but what's kept me, oddly is the pickled carrots that come with it. I would have liked the pork belly at a crispy skin level and piping hot but it wasn't either. Although my meals weren't stellar they weren't bad at all. 5 stars for options other than Kahala mall eateries and restaurant. 5 stars for not being in Waikiki or in dense town locations. 5 stars because the service was super good despite being here for many years now. Definitely on my list of go to places to dine on the east side. read more

I always enjoy coming here. Easy to make reservations on Open Table and the staff is always nice. This time around my bf and I got the Short Rib Loco Moco. I got the egg over hard and he got jt with scrambled eggs. The meat was tender and flavorful. It paired well with the egg, garlic rice, onions and gravy. So delicious. For dessert, we of course got the mochi waffles. They are always good and soft with the syrup and spread. Delicious!!! read more

So my adult kids impromptu wanted to take me out to dinner I easily made the 615 reservation from the website which is connected to OpenTable, great! However, when we arrived, it was quite a while before we even got water . Luckily, we had the reservation because the place was packed and there were other people waiting at the hostess stand who were walk-ins. We ordered the oysters on the half shell and grilled tako as appetizers. My daughter got the matcha drink (I can't remember the exact exact name) which I had a taste of and it was yummy. This all took quite some time, but we understood as it was busy. After a while, I had to flag our server, who apparently was also a bartender, to get our main entrée orders in sooner than later . I ordered the lamb chops and my daughter and her boyfriend got the pork chop. I wasn't exactly timing the service but all I can say was it was very long . When my lamb finally arrived, I had requested medium rare as I always do, and it was medium well! I was going to eat it, but this was the one of the pricier items on the menu and I wanted to be happy. So I decided to send it back reluctantly. Server said it would take six minutes. It was longer than that When it came back it was very RARE. so I sent it back one more time and it finally came back the way I wanted it. There was a bit more fat on it than I am a custom too, but it was tasty. The kids were considerately trying to eat slowly so I would not be left eating last, which ended up happening anyway. Meanwhile, my daughter's bf pork chop ended up being RAW towards the bone! I asked him if he had eaten any of that part and he said no I sure hope not because he could get sick from eating raw pork! The manager Tiare did comp that dish. I had been here a few times prior, but never ordered the lamb or the pork. I will certainly think twice again. Overall service was quite lacking and sending my lamb back twice was just too much. Our dining took about an hour and a half. Half an hour longer than we planned. read more

My beautiful wife and I made a 6p reservation for a Thursday night. We showed up around 5:30 and were promptly sat. Within a minute, our delightful server introduced herself, and we placed our drink order. Wife got the 'K Pop' (which was delicious) and I got the 'Townie Manhattan'...followed by their 'Plantation Old Fashioned'. Both were amazing. For starters, we opted for the Ahi Tartare and the Maui Beets. We loved it. We then moved on to their burger (medium rare) and their lobster roll. Both came with fresh fries and were delicious. We didn't have any room for dessert, but we did set aside some room in our hearts for et al. We'll come back! read more

I was really looking forward to eating here for our Christmas party this year after reading reviews. I made reservations which was pretty easy. The restaurant inside is really nice. I decided to order the hamakua mushroom risotto, big island bone marrow and lavender lemonade. The lemonade was just alright but it was mostly ice, probably more than half the glass. The bone marrow came next and to me it seemed really oily and fatty. I've had bone marrow before but this one just seemed to not be like anything I've had before. Then the risotto came and for the most part it was good but had a little too much mushrooms and seemed to need just a tad more salt. Then came the bill and there was 4 couples. The only thing they said they could do was split the bill 3 ways which wasn't any help. I feel like most restaurants these days are more accommodating to large parties with the bill. read more

Came here for brunch. It is located inside Kahala MKT. we ordered the short rib loco moco, beet salad, oysters and the rigatoni. Beet salad was beautifully plated and delicious. Oysters were good as well. Short rib loco loco was good. The meat was very tender and not mushy or too soft. The fried rice was a little lacking. Overall I would order it again. The rigatoni was okay. I wasn't a huge fan of the large chunks of meat. I'm not used to rectangular pieces of meat in my pasta and it was a bit hard. Don't think I will order it again. The absolute best coffee drink is beer. The whipped coffe with oatmilk was divine. I was going to order another one. It is a must get! read more

I really wanted to like this place but the food fell flat for us. The arancini might have been over cooked, and the pasta and pesto pizza was... bland. The hawaiian clam chowder was flavorful but the consistency was thin. The service was great, Jordan (sp?) was very pleasant and the decor was a vibe but the food was lacking unfortunately. read more

Our second time dining in, first time for breakfast and lunch today. Across from KAHALA Mall at KAHALA foodland. Nice place for a leisurely lunch. We came after Sweetie's performance at Diamond Head Theater and they treated us to a meal. Very classy place to meet a friend or just treat yourself. Our server was attentive and very personable. He asked if I wanted salad or two other options instead of fries with my lobster roll like he could read my mind. Clean, inviting atmosphere. Tip: don't sit facing the sun's glare or you won't be able to see the face of the person across the table. There was a little wait for the food to arrive but the restaurant became very busy and the food was good. Unfortunately Sweetie's pizza was returned to the kitchen but she enjoyed her fries. The manager on duty kindly came to ask if she wanted a slider or something else but she declined the offer. Loved how they even cater to their young customers. Awesome service. read more

Rating: 2/5 Date Visited: 05/2025 Service: 2/5 Food & Drink: 4/5 Atmosphere: 2/5 Price: 3/5 Parking: 3/5 Beware! Dine at your own risk. I will not be returning any time soon...only if invited by someone, but will recommend elsewhere with a similar selection and where service is outstanding. It's been a while since I've done a review, but I had to chime in on this place. I will save you time & money, if you take my advice and review seriously, as I have over 500+ reviews. I've walked and driven by this place so many times...and that's what I should've continue to do. But I was invited to a celebration at this establishment. Service: The Host/Hostess- The Hostest that checked us in was below par. She is short in height and appeared to be Hispanic. She could NOT recognize our name as we anunciated it slowly and also spelled it out. As the First person that a customer deals with, the Host/Hostess needs to be on it. Also, I don't understand how she managed to seat my party in a smaller area than another party of the same amount of people that arrived after us. The Server- Our Server was friendly and accommodating. Food & Drink: The industry standard from ordering to food delivered to table is 12 minutes. It took over this standard, but the food was good, which also matched the service of our Server. Atmosphere: VERY VERY LOUD for a dinner reservation. Price: I was very suprised on the automatic 18% gratuity added to my parties check for parties over 4 people? REALLY?! In the US, a standard tip for a sit-down restaurant meal is 15% to 20% of the total bill, before tax. For parties of six or more, it's common for restaurants to automatically add a gratuity of 18-20% to the bill. Then after receiving our check, there is an additional section to add more tip when you confirm and write the total to be charged. WOW! So after they auto charge you for a party of 4+ people, they want to see if you want to tip more? WTF?! ***Kama'aina Discount not given here*** Parking: Nothing to complain about. read more

Nice restaurant located inside a nice supermarket! Not too loud but seating can be a little close, depending on which part of the restaurant you're at. Service was excellent. Nice selection of food and drinks. I heard a lot about the lobster roll here so decided to give it a try. The roll was very good but on the smaller side, approximately 6 inches. It came with fries, which was also good. I don't think it was worth $30 so for that reason, I wouldn't order it again. Dessert was also good, a Berry Marscapone Bar with matcha gelato. I enjoyed the Bar, it was like a tasty cheesecake with the matcha complementing it well! Overall a very nice dinner but a bit pricey for me to return. read more

Another reviewer wrote: not good, not bad. That's kind of how I felt about et al as well. Service/ambiance was nice. Parking was easy. Came for a weekday dinner and it happened to be restaurant week so tried the prixe fixe menu to sample more items. Perhaps I tried the wrong items? Or perhaps it was the nature of the prixe fixe menu? Appetizers: bone marrow- luxuriously fatty. sort of hard to mess up bone marrow IMO, liked the chimichurri style garnish and the toasted bread. arancini- breading and fry was good, but the rice inside was overly dry and there wasn't enough sauce to overpower the dryness of the dish. there wa short rib present, but it did not add much to the dimension of the plate. also lacked an acidic component, overall this was heavy/dry and a bit bland. Mains: kampachi- fish was cooked perfectly but the dressing was one dimensional (just tasted like a watery shoyu and sugar) and the bok choy it came with was soaked up with shoyu and became overly salty. pork chops- overall bland, cook was OK (could have been juicer), the brussel sprouts lacked texture (were soft, over roasted, and no crispy bits). Dessert: berry mascarpone bar. kind of like a cheesecake, except without the enjoyable tang of actual cheesecake. also without the delicateness of mascarpone cheese. it just tasted like a flat sweetness. the fresh berries were nice, but the berry compote it came with was cloyingly sweet. Overall wouldn't order any of these dishes again. I did try someone else's mushroom risotto, and it was quite good, very savory/umami, so I'd order that if friends ever wanted to return. read more

et al. is a cute little restaurant attached to Foodland Kahala Mkt. We were able to get seated for a weekday lunch, though other Yelpers have suggested making reservations as it is a small dining room. We ordered the chopped salad, burger with truffle fries and lavender lemonade. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The salad was filling and had a lot of variety of textures and flavors. The burger was simple, but one of the better burgers I've had on island! The lemonade had the perfect, refreshing balance of lavender and lemon. Would definitely come back and try out some of their other food and beverage choices. And maybe I'll have room for dessert next time! read more

Outstanding food, and excellent service! What more can you ask for while visiting this restaurant called - Et al (which I still have no clue on how to properly pronounce the business name! Lol!). Located at the Kuono Marketplace strip mall, you can find Et al inside of the Foodland Farms store, as Et al is housed near the entrance of the supermarket. I originally came to Et al with Bruddah Dan O. (when this restaurant first opened), as we both came here to try the Lobster Rolls. Unfortunately for me (I didn't know it at that time) but we needed to make reservations inorder to dine here for lunch, so Bruddah Dan O. & I ended up doing "take out", and after getting out Lobster Roll meals, we just headed over to the Kahala Community Park to eat our Lobster Roll lunch on the picnic tables at the park. Et al has been operating for sometime now, so I figured it was a good time to come back here and actually dine inside of this restaurant to experience the table service, & food. Et al certainly didn't disappoint, because when I came here on a Monday morning (Labor Day holiday), and had breakfast with my friend - Jennifer C., the service here was impeccable, and the food was very tasty. We ordered the following items - 1. Garlic Chicken & Mochi Waffles ($19.00) - with Soy Maple Syrup and Black Sesame Butter. 2. Braised Short Rib Loco Moco ($22.00) - with Sunny Side Egg, Fried Rice, Short Rib Gravy, & Crispy Onion. And to wash down our meals, of course we had to get some hot coffee. What can I say about the grub? Not hard to guess, but I was the one who ordered the Garlic Chicken & Mochi Waffles. Although any type of chicken I am a fan of, I prefer pancakes over waffles, and these waffles were a little different because they were Mochi Waffles. The Mochi Waffles had a nice chew, and surprisingly the Soy Maple Syrup & Black Sesame Butter really worked with the Mochi Waffles. A meal that really surpassed my expectations! Although the food portions didn't look like it was "a lot", after I threw down my meal & drank several cups of coffee, I was pretty much full and good to go! My friend Jennifer enjoyed her meal, and since I don't eat red meat, although my friend offered a sample, I politely declined, but did score an egg from her! Lol! Much MAHALO to Joshua - our server, as he was very attentive, and efficient in providing 5 star service here at Et al! I look forward towards another trip to Et al one day, to try the other menu item they offer here. Chance 'em! No can go wrong! read more

To be completely honest, I had high expectations of this place so I'm giving it a hard three. Service was mediocre, my friend and I always felt rushed. The ambiance is what's saving this place for me, it was super cute and gave me quaint vibes. The food? The oysters were the best thing! I also ordered the clam chowder which was pretty bland and the ahi tartare was a hard miss. I was so disappointed. The espresso martini was okay, I'm on the hunt for the best one so let me know where to go if you know! My friend and I vowed to meet quarterly to try new spots while catching up on life and we definitely need a redemption. She's been here for dinner and says it was better. I'm not sure if I'd give it another chance, definitely 50/50. read more

et al. is a great place for brunch, lunch, and dinner. They are located inside Kahala Mkt. at Ku'ono Marketplace. Their menu is on 1 sheet and some of the items on the brunch menu are also found on the dinner menu. On the back side of the sheet are the drinks. They offer a lot of alcoholic beverages and a few non alcoholic. Their food prices are high but everything I've ordered has tasted good. My favorite is the garlic chicken and mochi waffle because they localize with the shoyu maple syrup and black sesame butter. I also like their ulu rosti which comes as a side when you order "two eggs any style" on the brunch menu. The interior of the restaurant has a bar and a dining area on the opposite side. The tables in the dining area are close so it will get noisy if you are by a large group or have people next to you who talk the entire time. During my last visit, I feel like they have less staff for the morning shift and it took them a long time to take my order. The wait time for food was around 25 minutes. I would still come back because the food is good and it's easy to find parking because the Ku'ono Marketplace parking lot is big. read more

It was so good we went here 3 days straight for brunch/lunch. Food - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Foodland knows how to do it up! The restaurant has mid century modern feel. The bar is laid out nicely as well. We tried a few items and they were all good. My fav is the chicken and waffles. The mochi waffles are very moist and buttery. Chicken is seasoned well with that garlic chicken flavor that Hawaii is known for! To those not familiar, think of it as orange chicken but without the orange, but some sweet and salty combo and minimal garlic flavor. Those of you who love your chicken and waffles will enjoy this variation. And don't be afraid of "garlic". You won't even know it's there. Salad was good as well. Nice and fresh. They are not stingy on the shrimp either. Benny was good. Egg was poached perfectly. Soft shell crab cooked well. Ube English muffin was a nice local spin. Not pictured but we also had the Bulgogi pizza. It was good but they have better items on the menu if this is your first time. Desserts capped off the brunch. Also did not disappoint. Chocolate Macadamia nut tart is my pick out of the ones we tried. I'm coming back for the banana bread pudding tho! read more

I had no idea this place was inside foodland Lol! We went on a Saturday for brunch and it wasn't crowded at all. The atmosphere was beautiful reminded me of a cafe in New York in a way The server was really nice. I did the risotto with added chicken and the flight of mimosa while my friend did a breakfast plate with the mimosas as well. The risotto was pretty good, chicken was bland and dry I wish I didn't add it on, it was also $8 extra. I'll probably come back to try the lobster club ! The mimosas were very small. They only fill it halfway and I swear it's 80% juice lol I couldn't even taste the alcohol and my friend and I have a very low alcohol tolerance and we both didn't feel buzzed at all. It was yummy but literally just juice lol would not recommend. Overall we might come back and try again if we're in the area read more

It is nice to have a brunch location so close to Kahala mall that opens early enough for a weekday lunch with friends. There is plenty of parking and they take reservations on OpenTable. The easy access and accessibility of having a meal is a plus when deciding where to dine! We were seated quickly at a booth and a server came to explain the specials. Everything on the menu had a twist of something different. We were told the term farm to table a number of times. The hash browns contained taro...breakfast bowl had quinoa..the unique selections were interesting. The dishes were a little pricey over $20/plate. The hash brown, Portuguese sausage and eggs were elevated. Everything was delicious but you can't really go wrong with a basic breakfast. Nice place to meet friends because of the convenience of it all. read more

Delicious brunch spot across the street from Kahala Mall! I came one morning with a friend and got the Matcha Latte with the Garlic Chicken and Mochi Waffle. This dish comes with Soy Maple Sauce (tastes like soy sauce and maple syrup had a baby) and Black Sesame Butter (pretty good!). The mochi waffle had the perfect crispy exterior but bouncy, soft, chewy texture. It definitely hit the spot! The chicken was good, but it was only lukewarm when it reached the table. The service was a bit slow during my visit, but there seemed to be only two people working that morning, so they may have been a bit short-staffed at the time. The atmosphere is relaxing and great for a casual meal. I would definitely return, but on my next visit, I may opt for a Mochi Waffle without the Garlic Chicken. read more

You have to walk into Kahala Market to get into the restaurant, and the entrance is on the right side of the market right near the entrance. The parking lot is pretty crowded. I got the Crispy Soft Shell Crab Benedict, and all the flavors worked super well together. Everything tasted really smooth (which may sound weird, but if you taste it you'll understand). Our server was pleasant and gave our party some time to fight over the check before we left. The hash browns were a bit tough but tasted good. The base of the Benedict was also very difficult to cut through and things fell apart. My friend got the ube latte and was super satisfied with it, so that's another thing to try when you visit! read more

et al. - Crispy Soft Shell Crab Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Met up for brunch on a Sunday at et al. The restaurant is located inside Foodland Kahala. We ordered the Mexican corn avocado toast (3.5/5) to start and that was probably the best dish out of everything we ordered. It looks thrown together and not very refined looking which for me was a bit of a turnoff. Flavor wise it tasted decent. The pesto pizza was ok but nothing I'd order again (2.5/5). It tasted like store bought dough, pesto and cheese. The soft shell crab benedict was not good (2/5) and my Dad got a little sick afterwards so that tells you to stay away. The short rib loco moco was not bad (3/5) the tons of fried onion thrown on top did help flavor wise. Frankly for the prices, I'd probably avoid returning. For what you get, it's high end pricing for average dishes with unrefined execution. I could excuse the plating if the taste exceeded how it looked, but sadly, the dishes tasted how they looked. Service was the one good thing. Our server was very nice and took care of our table. The restaurant is modern looking and had good a/c. Parking is plentiful in the shopping mall lot. Sadly I just would not return unless someone really wanted to dine here. LOCATION: 5/5 FOOD: 2.5/5 SERVICE: 4/5 VALUE: 2.5/5 AMBIANCE: 3/5 PET FRIENDLY: no CLEANLINESS: 3/5 PARKING: 4/5 read more

After seeing the couple in front of us who got seated after us, almost finish their soup and omelette, I couldn't wait any longer. I told Wayne to cancel our order and left. I still can't figure out why it took this long when others got their food. At least we got Complimentary Pepsi, which tasted great. read more

I've been wanting to try this establishment out for sometime. I was greeted by friendly lady and place was crowded. I expected this because of lunch rush and summer break. Young and old in little clusters throughout conversing, smiling, and eating. It wasn't overly noisy. I had ordered a Hibiscus Bliss tea...nice, deep red fruity flavor, not overpowering. Afterwards I ordered Hamakua Clam Chowder with Mushroom Risotto. Clam Chowder was flavorful, savory, and chunky (minced clams, clams in shell with Ulu, and smoked meat). Although, portion was half of a small bowl for $13? Other places would give more, but 2 slices of sourdough came plain without butter which chat taste overtook the soup. I suggest ask for butter or something to tone down the charred flavor. Their mushroom risotto is phenomenal! I love the intense mushroom flavor with lots of hon shimeji mushrooms, truffle flavor, and all natural msg in a large plate. I could eat it and had some for later. This establishment is connected to Kahala Market (Foodland), my meal came out to about $51 with tip. I think I'll return to try other entrees. Today was treat myself reward day...Ciao!!! read more

First time trying this spot, not sure if we'd make it back. Pros: nice ambiance, friendly service, convenient parking and location. Food wise we liked the local clam chowder - not too creamy, good amount of clams and ulu is a nice touch instead of potatoes. Cons: bar and service was a bit slow. The mains were only so-so: pork chop was over cooked and tough, not enough seasoning and lacked a starch; short rib loco moco was meh - needed more gravy and better fried rice or else just serve with plain rice. Short rib was tender. read more

Went for brunch and finally tried their lobster roll. It was about $40 and an added $2 for truffle fries but it was pretty dang tasty. I loved the truffle fries and the lobster was pretty tasty. I liked that they have meaty parts and it was really filling. It was pretty expensive so it's a once in awhile type of meal but I love this restaurant and the ambiance so I'll definitely be here again! read more
