- MMMatthew McMurphy4 days ago5.0Amazing, unforgettable dishes with a unique Hawaiin view and vibe. Fresh sushi, expertly prepared Wagyu, and creative and delicious cocktails and desserts that showcase local flavor. Our server, Garrett, and his whole team took excellent care of us and helped us feel welcomed and taken care of throughout our memorable meal. A must for folks looking to treat themselves to fine dining while feeling relaxed and care free.
- IGisland girl5 days ago5.0This has consistently been one of our favourite "splash-out" meals on trips to Wailea and our two visits this trip did not disappoint. One of our party had the omakase which was a great experience. The sticky ribs, popcorn shrimp (tip: ask for the sauces on the side!) and gyoza were all delicious. The steaks are incredible and the desserts are very impressive (if they have the chocolate sphere highly recommend). Cocktails are a bit underwhelming, wine list is pricey but extensive. The setting is lovely and the service is good as well.
- AEAlicia Easterday5 days ago5.0Garett, our server/bartender was amazing! Super knowledgeable and reccomended the perfect beer to be eaten with sushi. The sticky ribs were AMAZING! Super friendly staff and welcoming environment. I had to come back and edit my review; my husband forgot his sunglasses and hat at our table and we were headed out to get our car. We realized he forgot them right as our car was brought to the front. We were about to go back to get them, but Garett had ran to the front of the resort to bring them to us. All of the staff, epically Garett, went above and beyond!!
- DLDon Lam6 days ago4.0The atmosphere is pleasant & relaxing. The food is prepared and presented fabulously! Ashley made the entire experience a delight. The only constructive comment would be that the outside dining chairs are not as comfortable as I would like. The wicker leading edge of the seat is hard on the backs of your leg….at least mine.
- SKS KimNov 4, 20252.0Great ambiance. The staff was kind and friendly [0] Unfortunately, food quality was very disappointing. So their sticky bbq was great. However, 1. their sushi tasted a bit stale. Their Sake ( salmon ) and Sabe ( makarel ) in parituclar tasted like they were left in the sun for too long and just turned a bit bad. 2. Their cocktail, moritale(?), tasted like they forgot to add ingredients. It tasted straight up vodka with a hint of sake. This was our babymoon dinner, and didnt want to ruin it, so I didnt make any complaints. But sushi was too disappointing. [0] There was a small mishap for my order of 20 nigiri x 2 maki set. They mistakenly thought I ordered 10 nigiri set. When they brought it out, I told them about their original order and they brought another 10 nigiri set.
