    bagel with cream cheese
    Angel H.

    The hubby ordered a bagel with cream cheese $6 and a garden refresher $10. They were both ok. I've never seen a bagel that thin. For some reason they smashed it. It wasn't dense and airy like the bagels I consume. A thin layer of cream cheese was spread between the two slices of bagels. The garden refresher was served with a slice of orange. It's made with pineapple juice, lime juice, vanilla syrup and club soda. It was a little watered down, but I did get that fizz from the club soda. I really liked the outdoorsy patio vibe. It's a great place to chill with your friends. They have a guy singing live music. Be forewarned that it does get very hot in the afternoons. It's better to come at evening.

    Lunch to go

    The first bite of their truffle mushroom pizza, the delightful taste of lusciousness was unbelievable. Might I even say it was sinfully delicious. I finished two slices with in between forkfuls of their Cesar salad... that paired with the view of Kailua Beach Park for a makeshift picnic was a serendipitous enjoyable midday meal.

    Cute space and nice vibes with live music Fridays! The truffle mushroom better much better than the margarita and super dog friendly :)

    Perfect spot for a girls night out. Loved that the food was served pupu style so we all could share plates. Shout out to Nate the bartender for the cocktails. They were phenomenal. Will be back again soon!

    This is a simple casual and super friendly place. Alyssa is amazing. A sweetheart who loves this special place and wants others to relax and enjoy. Parking is plentiful. The food was fresh and tasty. We hope to come back at night to hear the love music.

    Pagoda we at in

    Ok first of all, this is the one of cutest places in Kailua. We came on a Saturday around noon, and it wasn't very crowded, so we sat atop the deck inside the pagoda. The four of us really enjoyed our time there. We were looking for a light lunch that would tide us over until dinner, since we were planning to eat a bunch. So we ordered the charcuterie board and the caprese skewers. It fed the four of us well, everyone was satisfied and the price was around $30. And for four people? That's a steal. 10/10 would go again.

    If you want to look for a garden vibe brunch place, this is the spot for you! Most people would stay here for hours to talk and just enjoy a drink with their friends. Cocktails are served all day and it was so tasty! I heard great things about their coffees so I would definitely come back for that soon! We had the breakfast croissant and the chicken gyro and it was surprisingly really tasty! I was genuinely surprised by how tasty the food was! The portion is not huge, but it was definitely worth it! They also have live music at night, so if you want a livelier vibe, then definitely come at night. It's also dog friendly, so you can bring your fur-friends there too! The only thing is the grass can get wet after the rain and the grass could be a bit soaked, but other than that, definitely one of the best brunch places I've been to!

    After hike tradition, find a local place for breakfast/brunch. Loving the Graden! Service was down to earth, friendly and fast. Barista made the best ice coffees in the neighborhood, and I have tried the other coffee shops by them. The outdoor area was family, and doggy friendly. We enjoyed playing a quick game of cornhole while we waited for our food which was so much fun, and the time flew by. Such a great experience. LOVED IT!! Oh yeah the food!!! The breakfast bagel sandwich on the bagel or the croissant was so good, the garlic aïoli was off the charts good. I almost wanted to order another, but my belly was full. The waffle was fresh and warm and so good. Yummy yummy!!!

    Charming garden setting for fast casual fare. This is the perfect late Sunday morning or later afternoon stop for a nosh and drinks with friends where you won't feel rushed to vacate your table. We enjoyed the Chicken Gyro with salad and some kombucha on tap while soaking in the perfect weather on our return from the beach. Service was warm and genuine. We chuckled because we were given a buzzer to alert us when our food was ready for pick up...only to learn that the buzzer doesn't work and our food was delivered to us cheerfully. The server noting...she just looks for who needs food. Charming.

They offer pizza from the brick oven food truck parked next door. Parking isn't the best, but we always seem to find a stall along the street. They are dog friendly in their outdoor sidewalk seating, so bring along the whole fur family.

Beautiful decor of imitation plants that even the bathrooms were beautiful especially the women's bathroom by the kitchen. Even the Men's bathrooms were decorated. It's something you should see! You wouldn't even think there's a place like this in Kailua. There were a few steps to the door of the restaurant but as we exit the waitress let my mom through the back which had no stairs but a ramp leading to the side parking along the restaurant right side, since she was using a walker. I first came with my friend for dinner and I came with my mom for brunch after her dentist appointment, because I wanted to show her what became of the beloved Four Star Chop Suey decades ago. Brunch menu was not the usual breakfast items that we were used to, but I ordered what I thought she would like best. We had Breakfast Hash with potatoes, sausage, cheese, eggs, bell peppers but the sauce was a little spicy for mom. There were ingredients in the sauce which maybe was too much for mom. Citrus mint fruit salad, and Southern Chicken Biscuit and Gravy. The gravy was different.fitness good but, I preferred the dinner selection when I came with a friend who traveled all the way from Kapolei for some shared dishes and appetizers. She really liked it and it was flavorful and unique. We had the following dishes: Local Braised Oxtail Patatas Bravas Seared Poke nachos Seasonal Hummus Deconstructed Baklava Cheesecake Hiusemade breads Citrus mint fruit salad I would order everything again! The Oxtail was flavorful and delicious, The homemade breads were so warm and fresh. The breads were served with the seasonal hummus, and I love the citrus mint dressing on the fruits! So refreshing! Night time was busy and we didn't have reservations, so we were lucky we didn't have those high top table and chairs . Best to have reservations for dinner. Weekends have night entertainment in the bigger dining area. We came earlier, but as the night went on, it got busier and our waitress was also assisting other customers in the other room, so we were missed . Service could have been better. Not too many of my townie friends had made it to this side but it's a nice place to dine at to experience their food and beautiful ambiance! There were a few side parking stalls along the right wall of the restaurant, otherwise you would need to find street parking. There's a nearby 24 hour municipal parking lot and it's still a quarter of 20 minutes. This restaurant is not in the main Kailua town area. If you haven't been to Kailua, Kailua is a nice town to try all these different restaurants. You be surprised and pleased. They are closed on Monday & Tuesday. Brunch is on weekends from 9 am to 1 pm. Otherwise they open from Wednesday thru Sunday from 4pm to closing at 9pm and on Friday & Saturday nights they are opened til 11pm.

The food: it was a fixed menu due to Valentine's Day, I guess I did not see that when I booked the reservations or it was listen on the open table app. I wish I had known because I wanted to try other dishes. Anyways.. we got to each choose an appetizer so we got the coconut shrimp which omgggg really good, that sauce was a perfect touch, the shrimp was nicely crispy. We also got the beef tataki which was another fav I must say. The main entrees was ok, I only say this because we got the lamb and fish. The lamb came with 4 pieces but 2 were cooked good and the other 2 seemed like it could have been cooked a little longer. The fish to me was also over done and a little touch and hard. I will go back because I do wanna try other things on their menu. Overall we still made it a great night and will come back again.

We were ignored there as well by no less than 4 waitstaff, until a nice girl asked if she could help us. We pointed at the food sitting in open containers in the open air, and asked if we could please have our food. She closed the lids and handed it to us. We got back home and hubby enjoyed his wings.
