Star 1- clean. Every visible surface, glass, seat and table were clean Star 2- the food was spectacular. I had the Cali Reuben sandwich. It was fantastic. My wife had the Cobb Salad. It was perfect! Star 3- we are not typically "specialty drink" drinkers. The list was introduced to us by the owner who explained every drink was made with top shelf spirits, fresh juices and fruit, and was something they had found, enjoyed, and recreated to serve. Their love for balance and presentation shown through. We tried 4 of their creations and LOVED all of them. Star 4- Environment, the back area is relaxing, beautiful, is on island time. Very enjoyable. Don't rush, just enjoy. Star 5- Owners, kind, warm, and they care about the items brought to the table. Star 6- the whole package. Great value, this is now added as a top stop when in Kauai for us

She had a beautiful voice and a full complement of music. I definitely recommend nice pants or shorts and button down shirt for men. No sandals. Ladies were wearing nice sun dresses or short sets.

All drinks were made to perfection and delivered quickly considering the number of people dining or getting a drink from the bar. The food was well made and tested good, but the portions are small. We ordered appetizers, which was a good choice since the portions are small. We had orders for chicken, steak, and lamb. Everything was presented well and paired very well with the sides.
