If you're not staying at this resort, skip this restaurant. It was fine but it wasn't that special. You're really paying for the view and the ambiance. The food was fine, but for the price it wasn't really that great. It was simple, not special and the portions were very small. I was initially excited about this place since they mentioned all dishes can be made gluten free, but some of them just could not. So it was fine, but I would skip it.

I have to give some love to this place as their food was absolutely amazing especially for someone looking for gluten free options. This photo isn’t the best, but it does show their gluten free bread substitution which is obviously next level with the seeds. It felt homemade or at least locally made with high quality ingredients. I was honestly expecting udi’s or some other crappy gf substitute, but this bread was amazing! I got the MOA sandwich and the pesto on it was Divine! I also had their matcha latte which was very good as well. I also saw but did not try a lot of their vegan and gluten free baked goods in the case. Also, I have never had sweet potato salad before here. It was so yummy! 5 stars for this cute little spot!

We tried FORC before and hated it but figured we’d give it another chance. This time it was more mixed. We loved the poke, it was poisson cru so the flavor was unique and refreshing. My miso butterfish was cooked perfectly but it was pretty bland. The sides were a plain boiled potato and some rock hard squash. The menu says this dish is gluten free but you have to specifically ask for it to be prepared that way. This is frustrating because if I hadn’t asked about the tempura flakes I wouldn’t have known and would have gotten sick. Maybe the regular version is more flavorful and they just omitted the sauces/spices. It’s a shame because the butterfish was so tender so the dish could have been amazing. My husband liked his beef rib lau lau but half of it was fat and it was giving more of an irish beef stew vibe than lau lau. Service was definitely lacking because they were understaffed so everything took forever. Not the server’s fault but annoying nonetheless. Idk if I’d give it another go, maybe for drinks and apps but the pricing is similar to Merriman’s and their food quality is more reliable.

I live in Waimea and I always recommend Pau to everyone. From fresh baked bread, pizza slices, salads, desserts, and drinks that are ready to pick up and go- to the tacos and burritos that they make quickly, I know it has something for everyone- whether you can't have gluten (like me- but I LOVE the tacos, salads and desserts!) or if you are vegan or vegetarian like my friend- I know I can bring anyone here and they will find something they like. Casual relaxed dining, with a fun atmosphere kids and families as well as friends will love.
