This restaurant is tucked into a little neighborhood and away from the major commercial centers. It was nice to get a little off the beaten track. We arrived a couple minutes after our reservation time and we had to wait a few minutes for them to set an empty table. Once we were seated we were served by our rather... more

We arrived on time and were seated immediately. Had a fantastice waiter who was also shawdowing a waiter in training and we still had wonderful service and fantastic food. We have been to Kauai many times and had never experienced this restaurant and we are now planning our next trip to return and recommending it to our friends. A must... more

Arrived on time for reservation. Had to wait in ugly bar for 30 minutes. When seated, it was another 1/2 hour before waitress (who looked totally stressed) brought anything, including water (while other later arrivals were served.) The appetizer was poor and, after about an hour & a half, the main courses arrived, barely warm, overcooked. They needed to be... more

Food here is not only terrific but value proposition is best on island. We split time between Poipu and Hanalei every year over last 5 and this has become the only restaurant we go to in Poipu. Not very easy to find which helps to keep it more of a local feel restaurant. Must trys on menu include: Chili Verde... more

Be warned. This place is overpriced (even by the overpriced standards of Poipu) and horrible (even by the uneven standards of other Poipu restaurants). A green salad drowning in dressing was inedible. A shrimp appetizer with (I kid you not) 2 shrimp for $17!! Dinner for two with a $30 bottle of wine came to $150. This was by far... more

Very slow service and unreasonable check total. The time between ordering our entrees and eating was painfully prolonged. There was plenty of time to refill my tea several times, but it was not...not even once. I finally had to ask another server (ours had apparently left the building) to refill our drinks......I didn't receive my 2nd glass until I finished... more

Pretentious, expensive and, above all, terrible food. Even if my wife and I are italian, and we do of course love our national cuisine, we don't necessarily look for that in a restaurant with an italian name in Kauai. But what we found was far beyond expectations: firstly our waiter was so haughty that we were tempted to leave at... more

My son and I are not picky eaters, but we could not eat our pasta dishes. We were starving after a long afternoon of swimming and anything would have been good enough to tame our hunger that evening. If you want to eat a decent seafood pasta dish, do not go to this restaurant. The food is bitter; too many... more

We stopped by for dinner and weren't expecting great, but that's what we got. All eight of us were impressed with the food. Great variety and a really creative menu. Everyone enjoyed the evening and the service was first rate. The only draw back is the music. (all easy listening saxophone) more

I wanted to check this place out after reading about in our guide book and wanting a relief from pricey resort food. Extremely disappointing, I paid $16 for TWO shrip in an appetizer. My husband liked his pasta dish, but the ambiance was more like a Denny's then a fine dining establishment. I hated this place and would never recommend... more
