Not too busy so sat pretty quickly. It all tastes pretty good. The BLT was a good portion as was a the other food. Service was also very good.

The reviews for this restaurant show a mixed bag of experiences. Some customers mentioned issues with the overall atmosphere of the restaurant, such as dim lighting, flies, and gnats. However, there were positive notes about the friendly and attentive service from staff members, especially during a sunburn incident. The food received mixed reviews, with some enjoying dishes like Grandma's Fried Rice Kimchee and the Kalbi Steak, while others mentioned issues with boiled food and small serving sizes. Despite some inconsistencies, the restaurant was praised for its local vibe, delicious food, and outdoor bar area. Additionally, online ordering was mentioned as a convenient option for takeaway orders. Overall, this establishment seems to have its strengths and weaknesses, offering a unique dining experience in Kailua.
