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!

Don’t waste your time or money. They do not have Gluten Free pizza as advertised. We ordered a salad to go and it took one hour to prepare after they forgot to put in our order with the kitchen. The salad was not a dinner size salad, it was a side salad size with dry and grey chicken. Although they apologized for the wait, the food did not make up for the wait. You’re better off not even giving it a try.

Delicious food and lots of gluten-free options! Food is all takeout, but there’s a nice covered eating area in the courtyard near the place. The food was very tasty, and the staff was so friendly.

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!
