Fodor's Review:
This little restaurant is always packed -- there's something about the crisp green-and-white, 1850s building that draws people in. That and the fact that it smells way too good to pass up if you're hungry. The food is not adventurous but very good; fresh island fish, chicken, and ribs, all served in hearty portions. Inside, it's all vintage Hawaiiana -- old records, a surfboard, and hula skirts. The Seafood Bar is upstairs in a separate structure that also dates from the 1850s, and it has been a hot spot since it opened in 2003. The bar is a good place to wait until your table is ready, or to feast from the all-pupu (appetizers) menu.

We had a totally different experience
Posted by KristinP from New York City on 5/18/08
It was interesting to read the other comments, as my husband and I ate here the other night (we are also staying at the Hapuna Beach Prince) and had a delightful experience. Of course, being from New York, we are more than accustomed to brusque/rude waitstaff and found this staff to be very relaxed and friendly. We thought the entrees were absolutely delicious (more so than what we'd had the night before at the much pricier Coast Grill at the Prince). Sitting at one of their porch tables will allow you to avoid the Hawaiiana kitch.
