After being put on a waitlist, we were told to wait outside and they would come get us when our table was ready. However, after waiting about 45 minutes we went in to inquire about the situation and were told that they were no longer seating for dinner that evening? Didn’t offer us any alternatives, just that we had to go somewhere else that evening! (Despite being told to wait in the first place… So this time it was my birthday and I was determined to get those pancakes, so I made sure reservations were made! Haha! A much more positive experience this time around. The staff was very great, super attentive, sweet personalities, just really good, fun-loving vibes all around! I got the milk and cereal pancakes. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. A super cool and unique concept. Very trendy and pretty presentation, even better taste. Milk syrup is very fitting and super yummy. Boyfriend got chilaquiles. Both loved this dish and were happy/surprised to see it on the menu. Don’t see that often, but they did a great job!! We shared the Lilikoi Margarita. I don’t know why I don’t see more about this in the reviews- this was GREAT! SO YUMMY! Well balanced. Very pretty. The li hing on the rim was the selling point for me. Smart use of local ingredients and paired well with the drink. CANNOT WAIT to come back. Such a diverse menu and am impressed with how well such different dishes were executed!

On one hand, the food and service were so incredible that I want to shout it from the rooftops; on the other hand, I want to keep it a secret so it doesn't become overcrowded, allowing me to return easily! I'm literally writing this review while sitting on the edge of my bed, my jeans pulled down to my ankles because I'm so full I’m worried my button might pop at any moment! This was, by far, the best experience we had during our four-day trip! The hostess and managers were incredibly warm and welcoming from the beginning. Our server was fantastic, but honestly, everyone pitched in, so you never feel overlooked! Now, about the food... The escargot was better than what I've had at some five-star French restaurants, and the bone marrow and garlic shrimp were to die for. The pork dish was thick, juicy, and perfectly crispy! We will definitely be going back!
