Chill vibes with top-notch service and a dash of island history on the side, but bring your wallet - it's a bit pricey.

Reservations were recommended but we had no wait, arriving around 4:30pm. The staff was incredibly friendly, drinks and appetizers were served promptly, and every dish ordered was cooked to perfection. One of our party has Celiac disease/wheat allergy and the server was knowledgeable about every item on the menu, making this experience safe for her. Highly recommend.

Talk about top tier service! Our waitress was SO friendly and knowledgeable! She made great recommendations and shared so much about the different dishes. The kitchen was super accommodating to both gluten and nut allergies. Our party of four all loved our meals (I got the pesto GF with shrimp!). We had just gotten off a long flight and this was the perfect spot to visit first, as we felt very welcomed. Would definitely recommend stopping in if you’re looking for something filling and delicious!

Wonderful experience at this restaurant! We were quickly seated even without a reservation and during a busy time! The food was really good, and they were super accommodating of both a gluten and a nut allergy (I could’ve cried happy tears when our server brought out GF soy sauce without me even asking!). The price was just right and the service was super friendly and quick. If you're in the area and looking for a great meal with accommodating service, this spot is a must-try!

Huge portions, amazing food, nice sit down restaurant, kid friendly, and gluten free options! I had leftovers for two meals. The only odd thing was the location of the bathrooms which are through the kitchen to the very back.

Very good local poke place, everything was fresh and flavorful. They were very helpful with recommending things for my gluten allergy. Good portion for the price too. The toppings are pay by weight.

My husband and I visited here for 10 days and everyone was wonderful! Especially the Sushi Bar! We love Chris and Kailin at Sushi and Sake! We ate there quite a bit because it is so yummmy and entertaining! I’m also celiac and it was 100% safe! The resort was fabulous! We loved our stay so much!

We stopped here for lunch and it was delicious! The people were very kind and helpful. One person in our group has Celiacs and was able to happily eat the Mahi Mahi lunch plate! I had the grilled pineapple teriyaki burger and it was fantastic! Crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, a slice of pineapple, and plenty of sauce!
