The acai bowls and overall experience were pretty good, but in my opinion there are still better…read moreplaces down the road to get acai. The acai was not as sweet as I'm used to, which is a personal preference. The acai was a bit watery though so it was a bit hard to eat. However, the amount of toppings was very generous and the fruits were good. The portion didn't really seem worth it for the price though. The vibes were overall good here though, the truck is kinda like a surf truck. Like how they feature local surf news and riders. The service was also good as well, workers were very nice and we didn't have to wait too long for our acai. Not bad at all, but not the best acai in Haleiwa or on island.

I love their picanha style and the filet mignon. The lamb leg is a little rough and gamy to my taste. Server do check on you often and ask for your need, but the request does not always come through. We ask for ribs but never got them. Which bring to why only 4 stars, the meat does not come consistently, we basically took a bite of whatever was on the plate, then sit and waited 5-10 minutes before another meat type will come, but that might not be something you wanted so you will be waiting longer. The chessecake dessert at the end was good, so we will probably give the place another try.

An update to our review - something we've noticed after visiting a few times and wanted to bring…read morethis up. We're hoping others do not have a similar experience. On a whim, we decided to have an early dinner on a weeknight. Only 4 or 5 tables were occupied so the restaurant was pretty much empty. We walk in, and hostess is somewhat kind, asks if we've dined here before (yes, several times), looked up our phone number and showed us to our table. Of all of the tables empty, she lead us to the most dim, dark, quiet corner 2-top table right by the bar. The most corner table out of this entire, roomy restaurant. We asked the hostess if we could be seated elsewhere, you know, somewhere where where there is some light and no in the very corner of the room (almost felt like there would be a storage area behind our table or something). This place again, is huge - why that table? We bring this issue up, because this wasn't the first time this happened to us at this restaurant. Many couples that were there before us AND they were seated in a better area we have also witnessed many couples seated at tables that seats 4. Did they all have reservations? Even then, who is deciding if they should seat at a 2-top or 4-top? We absolutely felt like there is some favortism (and even discrimination) by the hostess. After our request to sit elsewhere we were taken to another small table for two by the window by the entrance. We could watch and observe guests coming in to see if any of the other "Party of 2" guests would be taken to that dark quiet two-top table that we were initially lead to. Answer: No. None of them. Hostess never even tried to seat anyone there. So this clearly wasn't about rotation to be fair to servers (to make sure they get customers seated in their assigned area). One couple was taken in the center of the main area (4 top), another party of two, another 4 top table by the buffet. Then another, and then another. The hostess all smiles, talking story and all friendly with some. I guess we have to kiss up to the hostess to get a good table? The manager also never came around to say hello. She only went to a table where there was a known TV personality (again, they were here after us, party of 2 - seated at a table that seats 4), talked with them, then an obligatory hello to the table next to them (again, party of 2, came in after us, again, seated at a table with 4 seats) but left without making rounds at our table even though we were only a few steps away from these two tables. LOL So again - if you are follow seating/section rotations then why weren't any of other party of two's taken to the dark quiet corner 2-top table we were originally lead to? The entire time we were there, NONE of the other couples were taken to that table. Hmm. The food was very good. The salad bar - everything was fresh and there were tons of gauchos walking around with various types of meat. The server for us was very attentive and gave us refills, took empty plates off our table in a very timely manner. The price is costly, but if you're hungry enough and eat every meat brought to your table, maybe it will be worth the price. Conclusion: Good restaurant to enjoy AYCE. Make sure to speak up if you don't like the table you are taken to - especially when the restaurant is close to empty with no customers. The gauchos and servers were friendly and professional. Maybe the manager and the host/hostess need some refresher on how not to be so obvious the kind of customers they want to favor (like TV personalities) By the way, that dingy dim quiet corner 2-top that they tried to seat us - was still empty when we were leaving (and the restaurant was pretty crowded by that time)

This place is great because there are some different options that you can't get anywhere else, like condensed milk and Brazilian milk powder (leite ninho) which supposedly makes it creamier. We weren't adventurous enough to try those though and just stuck with the basics, but maybe we'll try those next time. We ordered the sunset blend with goji berries and two build your own bowls. My daughter loved her bowl of just the açaí base and strawberries and peanut butter, hold the granola. She said it was one of the best she's had! My husband loved his as well with almond butter, honey and strawberries. He said this was one of his favorites along the north shore. My sunset bowl was very good as well. My favorite bowls have the tangier fruits like passion fruit, but for a basic bowl this really hit the spot. It's a cute little place with a good vibe next to Foodland in the strip mall. It looks like it has great food options as well that we'll have to come back and try some other time. But if you're wanting a great açaí bowl, this is your place!

This is a hidden gem and a must-visit when you're in the area! We stopped by on the way to another…read morespot and it didn't disappoint. Parking was a small lot and there's a small patio in the back to sit and eat, the space is shared with other businesses. During warmer days though, watch out for the mosquitoes since there's a big lake on the other side of the patio. We got the picanha plate and the picanha & shrimp plate. The price is a bit steep at around $20 per plate which is understandable given the circumstances but the quality of the food far exceeds the price. The picanha was cooked perfectly and we couldn't leave the parking lot without eating a good amount first. The shrimp was also super flavorful and cooked well where the shells were crispy and easy to digest. The salad was fresh and the sauces paired with everything only highlighted the items even more. One of the plates even came with a side of beans and I'm indifferent towards beans,, but the flavor for this was so worth it. Upon first bite, I could tell that all of this was made with so much care. The beans even had bits of meat inside and it wasn't just majority fat. Would visit again because this is one of those spots when you're indecisive and anything you order will hit the spot.
