He was so attentive (he saw we were having a moment holding hands together and instead of interrupting us, he came back later to allow us time to enjoy and finish that special moment) and he gave personalized food recommendations that were on point. He was so kind and warm and made the dinner more of a thoughtful, intimate experience. The manager Chris came out to greet us during the dinner as well to make sure everything was going great which was a nice touch. The ribeye steak was out of this world. So juicy and flavorful and cooked to perfection in a red wine sauce. The salmon fettuccini was amazing as well. We sat on the back patio and the view of the golf course in the background was beautiful. We will definitely be coming back here!

Stylish spot with elevated steakhouse vibes near the golf course. Lots of the menu items were…read morepretty darn good. Some highlights include the seared ahi starter, which came bathing in a delicious creamy sauce. The sauce was novel and a nice spin on an already delicious dish. The ono was also done nicely. I have to dock them a little on their steak. With steakhouse pricing, they weren't able to produce a solid steakhouse crust on the ribeye. Without a crust, the cut ended up a little floppy and watery. The desserts were also a little off. The sauce on the passion fruit cheesesteak was amazing, but the texture of the cheesecake itself wasn't great. Their mint ice cream was also a little freezer burned. Overall you can have a good time here, but I think the pricing puts the restaurant into the elite league, and I don't think they're quite ready to play there.

This is an open air restaurant and at first I was hesitant because of maybe having to deal with flies but we didn't run into any issues. There was live music playing. We ordered the farmer's plate of veggies to accompany the muhammara dip (which came with 4 pieces of wood fired bread). It was flavorful, fresh, and light. My husband ordered the skirt steak and I ordered the ahi steak. We also ordered the frozen fruit punch twice. This was plenty of food for us so we skipped on dessert. Everything turned out delicious to us and we quite enjoyed our evening.

One of the best dining experiences we had during our 3-week trip through Hawaii!…read more I had been looking for Mediterranean food through our stays in Oahu and Maui, but wasn't able to find any til we landed here on Big Island. We went during sunset and it was sooooo beautiful. We ordered: * the 3 dips - loved their muhammara!! Plus the bread is so squishy and soft it absorbs the flavors of the dips so well * burrata salad - very refreshing and well seasoned. I believe it's peach or melon served with it, a very nice touch * grilled octopus - loved the tomato(?) sauce it was served with, and the way they grilled was perfection. Reminded me of the octopus I'd have in Kerekennah, a small island off the coast of Tunisia. Fresh & well seasoned. * Cacio e pepe + chicken: really appreciated how they noticed my husband and I were sharing everything, so they had split the pasta into two bowls. Deliciously made, with it had a bit more sauce tho and that the chicken wasnt so dry. * inside out smores: YUMMY. loved the combo of the graham cracker ice cream with the roasted marshmallow and chocolate sauce + inside the marshmelllw too. In all we spent $190 for 2 people including tax and tip (no drinks). Sure a bit on the pricier side, but we had been spending $90-110 for very average or not even good meals across Hawaii anyways, so didn't seem too bad. Parking is free! Valet only, but give your ticket when you get the check to get a 3-hour validation stamp.

Rum aficionados don't get your hopes up. The Rum Shack…read moreoffers four of their own rums and a fairly decent, but not stellar, selection of rums from other countries around the world. There are a few Hawaiian rums that we like, but the Kuleana rums fall short. They are heavy on alcohol and light on flavor. My husband tried their darkest rum, which is a very light yellow in the glass, very alcohol forward and lacking depth of flavor. I had an unmemorable cocktail. It seemed as though the bartenders were not all that well versed in their own rums or mixology in general. As for the food, we ordered the pork and watercress gyoza and the crab rangoon. Both were lacking flavor and substance...not made better by the lackluster, flavorless dipping sauces. To be honest...I've had better from the grocery store freezer section. The restaurant itself is pleasant enough with a nice bar and the ability to accommodate larger parties. We ended up hopping across the street to have some great cocktails and appetizers and Roys.

Unfortunately my son tripped and fell onto the gravel sidewalk cutting up his knees and hand and face. At some point during the commotion one of the chefs were outside trying to help my son.

After we finished the same chef came out to check on my son and to let him know she'd love to have him come back in the kitchen to see if they had any ice cream. After our little tour behind the scenes my son had completely forgotten about his incident - except for the fact that "it was worth it" after that sweet surprise. Loved Moana before - but now it'll hold a special place in our hearts. What a lovely way to remember last night. Thank you Chef!

Our waiter was Aaron, such a solid and positive waiter with tons of experience and intriguing information and details about everything on the menu. He was so cool and took videos and pictures of the proposal on his phone while waiting a ton of other tables. I feel like because of the proposal and celebration they probably comped like 75% of the price, I mean, they gave us tons of drinks and appetizers, completely free that was insanely kind and made it such a beautiful experience . We tried the fish of the day which was unbelievably fresh and I got the beef cheek, which was unique and Ive never had better carrots or mushrooms. The experience is why they have 3 Michelin stars and only 157 other restaurants have this rank. After dinner, we took the scenic route, stargazed and just enjoyed all of the other cool restaurants nearby. i'd recommend this every single day of the week and honestly, the pricing wasn't as crazy as I had expected, and the portions were way larger than a typical fine dining restaurant. Ask for my man Aaron and give him a huge tip ! You won't regret it

They have everything here, including hot foods, deli sandwiches, musubis, baked goods, malasadas, fresh sashimi and poke bowls. They also have supermarket items like fresh fruit and vegetables, drinks, dairy, chips, bagels, etc. There's also a wine and beer section, t-shirts, Hawaiian shirts, and other knick knacks. And everything is good to very good quality. The food is really good, and there's some outdoor seating right outside the market. We came here for breakfast and dinner, and it's nice because everyone can choose what they like since there's such a variety of items. Some of the items we've tried: + Kalua pork breakfast burrito (5/5) - meat was smokey and juicy. Burrito grilled nicely. + Spam Musubi (4/5) - very good; rice could have used a little more flavor but I'm being picky. + Poke bowl (4/5) - the poke itself was very good and fresh. Toppings were limited. + Cut fruits (4/5) - watermelon was especially good; the melons were ok. + BLT Breakfast sandwich (5/5) - was very good and came with fried potatoes. + Banana bread (3/5) - good but overall taste was sweet and not enough banana flavor. This was our go-to market during our trip. We loved coming here and the staff is so friendly.
