Loved this quirky place!

Jul 2023 • couples

This place is quirky and has its own personality for fun! We loved it. There were four of us sitting in a vintage booth inside. Outside dining would have been fun too however it was lunch time in July and we had an elder person with us. The place itself is vintage with a Hawaiian feel serving tropical flavors. Food was prepared very well and the salads are some of the freshest. We started with an app called Flaming Pu Pu (I highly recommend and will not ruin it for you by sharing to much)! The menu is full of fun! I suggest coming hungry and with friends! Cocktails were amazing and they just won an award for 1 of 5 best cocktails in Richmond, VA! Bartender made me a drink off menu and it was the best I've had to date! Note: Parking in the back

Hip vibe, good food

Nov 2021 • couples

Super quirky restaurant with indoor/outdoor dining, full bar, friendly service, and satisfying food selections. Try the calamari, halloumi sticks, lamb tacos, and pineapple upside down cake. I wish they stayed open later.

An hour wait for food

Mar 2021 • couples

Husband and I went for lunch. Got there at 12:50pm. Sat right away on patio. Waiter took 10 mins to come by the table. Another 10 for drinks. Coke and a wine. He brought a Malbec when I ordered their Cab Franc. He then tells me they are out of the Cab Franc.Who just picks a wine without asking the customer. We ordered food and We asked what can come fast while we wait, he recommended their egg rolls. They arrived 10 mins later. 3 very small fried wonton spring rolls. Side of sauce was sticky over powering sweet. Rolls were mostly tasteless 6 bites total. So we then sit and wait. And wait. And wait. At 1:50 I ask the waiter for to go boxes and the bill he says “ok”. . Still no food! So food arrives 5 mins later and then so does waiter with to go boxes and bill. We pack it up, pay bill and left. No apology, no concern, not even a good bye. Got home, food was not just cold of course but overcooked. Ugh. Will not return. I cannot recommend.

BEWARE! The server tripled my tip!

Mar 2022 • family

The server tripled my tip, which I believe is illegal. My daughter and I had dinner there last week. The server had an attitude and the food was awful! We had a burger and the crab spaghetti. The burger was black and dry. The crab spaghetti had a ridiculous amount of pasta and was also very dry. We didn’t eat nor did we ask for to-go boxes. I left a five dollar tip. I noticed on my bank statement that it was now a $15 tip. I contacted the restaurant and left a message for a manager. I was told someone would call back that day. No one called. I will never go there again!

Chic Hawaiian Forest Hill Style Meals

Feb 2020 • family

This place was fun. We were able to talk during the meal with normal conversation. Plenty of seating arrangements and friendly atmosphere. Lots of light for meals and cheer. Parking on and off street. Food all seemed fresh and imaginative.

Exceeded Expectations!

Apr 2023 • family

I looked at TripAdvisor before coming and noticed all the negative reviews. I feel that after tonight’s delicious dinner, I have to say that it is definitely worth a stop! The nachos were some of the best we’ve ever had, and the lamb shank tacos and Hawaiian pork bowl were stand-outs on the menu. Everything was packed with tropical flavor, and the restaurant just has a really fun atmosphere. It made for a great dinner and was exactly what was necessary after a long day. The only thing you have to note is to come before 6pm if you want to ensure a table (at least on weekends).

Polynesian American

Sep 2021 • none

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. It has indoor and outdoor tables with a nice atmosphere. Reservations only for parties of 5 or more, and your seating is limited to 1.5 hours. Parking is in back. Limited spaces directly behind, but there is a free lot 1/2 block away. They have a full bar and serve exotic drinks. The menu is superb and has a distinctly Polynesian flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed the pork bowl that was not like any other dish I've eaten. The appetizers are large enough for two, and the calamari was great.

Don't Bother--you will be bothering the staff

Jul 2021 • none

A late lunch turned into 90 minutes for 2 sandwiches and no drinks because the server never offered or asked. Sign on entry, "Please wait to be served." We waited 5 minutes while the bartender eyed us and ignored us. We stepped into the bar area and the server took us outside and then ignored us for 20 minutes--no drinks. She then took our order--2 sandwiches, and ran off before we could consider drinks. We waited 30 minutes for 2 burgers without the server offering a drink or a progress report. After serving the burgers, she was gone and never checked on us until she brought the check. When I questioned her, she said sorry, we are understaffed.

Now open with limited seating. Nice outdoor patio. Food is very good. Service average but during this virus mess, everyone is off their game. Limited menu.

Interesting Decor and Food

Dec 2019 • none

This was the first time I have been here for lunch. The food is quite good with interesting combinations. I ordered the fish sandwich which was tasty. The sandwich came with shoestring fries which seemed a bit off. I would think they were old but we were there at noon. Service was ok.

Best kept secret

Oct 2019 • family

What an adorable place with no wait for Sunday morning brunch around 10am. We enjoyed the veggie eggs Benedict, the waffle with chicken, and the eggs with sausage. The sausage is amazing. Presentation is great. Finished the meal with a grapefruit brulle. Enjoyed it very much.

Great Food and Fun Time

Jul 2019 • none

Had never heard about this cute restaurant before friends suggested meeting there. It was a hot night and we could not get into the restaurant, but were seated on side "porch" with fans. It was just fine as the drinks were great and the food fabulous. Check it out!
