Several times I have stopped there, written down exactly what I wanted with my contact number. I was promised a return call after they spoke with their distributor, but no call ever came. The last instance was three weeks ago. I waited two weeks and nothing. So, last week I returned to the store to see what happened. I was greeted with a defensive, woke attitude and non-sensical excuses. Worse, they couldn't even find the order I had written. Again, I was promised a call on the following Monday, 3 days ago and again nothing. The bottom line is when you make a customer a promise you need to keep it, especially when you've broken promises in the past. A good company with good customer service would first apologize, then work hard to rectify the situation. Yet, no apology was ever provided and quite obviously, the situation was never rectified. I don't patronize businesses that possess distain and indifference to their customers and you shouldn't either.

Hostess then arrived and got us seated right away despite it being a bustling night. GREAT ambience - lively but not loud - no need to raise voice to talk with your party. Server came out promptly and took great care of us. My sister got the Jasmine and it was as great tasting as it was beautiful - tart, so if you like tart drinks get it and don't think twice. The Focaccia Bread WITH the steamer clams was a great appetizer (soak the bread in the tomato juice!) and the entrees were SO GOOD. The Chilean Sea Bass was PERFECTLY cooked and was up there in the best we've ever had. The pesto gnocchi + squash it rested on was delightful and the perfect combination. The Peruvian Chicken was ALSO perfectly cooked and its sauce was to die for. The potatoes that went along with were salted just right. Great great great, highly recommend whether you're having dinner or going to the bar with a friend for a LIVELY kind of experience

If you're searching for a dining spot that captures the true spirit of aloha, look no further than this Hawaiian gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming environment makes you feel like part of the ohana. The décor is bright and cheerful, with tropical touches that transport you straight to the islands. What truly sets this restaurant apart is its family-friendly atmosphere. The staff greet everyone with genuine smiles, making both kids and adults feel right at home. There are thoughtful touches throughout. And the food? Absolutely the best! Every dish bursts with authentic Hawaiian flavors, from tender kalua pork to perfectly grilled. The portions are generous, and each bite is a delightful blend of fresh ingredients and traditional recipes. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want a relaxing meal with loved ones, this restaurant is guaranteed to deliver an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food in a warm, family-friendly set read more

Sunshine on Cedar Bridge is a masterpiece of atmosphere and flavor, blending a stunning waterfront location with exceptional Hawaiian-inspired cuisine. The view alone is worth the visit, offering a perfect backdrop of tranquil water and vibrant sunsets that feel almost surreal. The food is where Sunshine truly shines. Their Hawaiian-style dishes bring the island to Idaho. Every bite feels intentional, a tribute to the islands with a refined twist. In short, Sunshine on Cedar Bridge is not merely a bar. It's a statement. A testament to what happens when meticulous attention to detail meets an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. For those capable of appreciating it, this place is nothing short of perfection. For everyone else--well, there's always Applebee's. read more

Few restaurants stand up to the claim that they're the town's "best kept secret" but this one does. My husband and I had lunch there on April 5th and it was incredible. Great food - Hawaiian -- nice ambience, and wonderful service. The view out the windows towards Sand Creek are great. For a little bit of "the islands" please go try this place. You won't regret it! read more

The HUGE downside for me is the owner attempting to leave reviews. Beyond bad form. 3 reviews removed by Yelp and 1 "not recommended". Makes me wonder if they have left other reviews under a false name? Tacky & pretty low class.
