Ordered the Vegan curry, it is spicy! It is a big bowl of curry and you have to request rice on the side. The side of rice they bring you is tiny so I had to request a second side of rice. It is plenty of food for 2 meals which is nice since we are staying at a resort.

Local rum was very good offering a variety of blends. They have a local distillery. Daiquiri was tasty and appetizer was creative. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy parking. Reasonable

First place we stopped at after a 6 hour flight. I ordered the duck Hua ‘alani, hubby ordered the kuleana Ceasar with chicken, and little one ordered mochico chicken. Also ordered the kalua pork nachos. The nachos and duck were amazing. My husband said his salad was okay, and little one liked the duck better as we did not know the mochico chicken waa fried. Overall, great quick service.

Paula was our server for all 3 nights we went to dinner here while visiting! She recommended the best drinks and food! The burger, lamb and ahi tower are to die for!! We tried other restaurants around and they couldn’t compare!

All of the dishes were tasty! Not too busy at happy hour and no wait for a table but the happy hour pricing only applies to a few select drinks and none of the food. Portion sizes could be larger especially on shareable pupus.

Located in the busy Queens Shops. Come for the awesome Rum drinks but not the food. Drinks feature the complex and awesome Kuleana rums and are a generous pour. Mai Tai is not traditional with a Mac Nut orgeat but is very good. Food portions are on the smaller side and inconsistent. My wife and I split an order of Rum glazed prawns which were medium sized and well overcooked. Another family member received 3 gargantuan prawns, 2 of which were perfectly cooked and 1 of which was burnt. The wedge salad was fine. Little specs of Hawaiian bacon and generous blue cheese. The duck breast was highly recommended by our eager server, Cameron, however, it was overcooked and served medium well. We were informed this is how the kitchen often serves it, but we have eaten at many fine establishments serving it medium rare. They kindly sent it back and returned a medium-ish version that was actually less tender than the first version. The mashed Hawaiian sweet potatoes were a bit stringy. I have eated some delicious ube mashed sweet potatoes and these lacked creaminess. They comped us delightfully light and crispy malasadas. The lilikoi sauce was bright and fresh, bananas foster was delicious with a Rum flavor, and the coconut was bland and uninspiring. The menu is quite interesting and inspiring, but the food is very inconsistent. Cameron our server was perky, enthusiastic, and very nice, despite being overworked. An extra star from 2 to 3 because of him. Our dinner lasted nearly 2 hours from 6:30 to 8:20, little too much time for this restaurant.

Baily served us during a dinner date and we had a great time! Her drink recommendations were great, and we loved the food too! The white negroni (clear cocktail) was very fun.

We stopped in just for a drink and an appetizer. We ended up getting the Ahi Tower. It was the best thing we ate our whole trip.
