"I always get into trouble when I give an honest assessment. I don't want to call back, I don't want any other chance, I just say it like I see it, so someone responsible can adapt. we have made reservations, it was our jubilee clear, we were in the widest corner of the restaurant, near an open door, where only feet outside, was a pool full of screaming children with a pool party. it may have been the quietest part of the restaurant, there was a single musician who played to a space of fifty diner, with whom ampere himself as he was in wembly stage. I had to speak unhappyly loud, just try to be heard from my wife, sitting over a wonderfully cramped table, dirty, with scratches and scares on it. I sat on a bank, at least 50 years old, in which I sank and put the table on nipple level. I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall, so my nipples are up there. I had no fun from the beginning, so I had a beer, in the hope, a little alcohol would brighten my mood. the beer came in a plastic cup. looks like a regular tumbler, but it was plastic! no mood that illuminates here. the beer was cool in the temperature and maui blonde is a delicious beer. wife had a mai tai who was much strong, so her mood was enlightened! there were at least two vegetarian selections; my wife reduces her intake of animal protein for health reasons. she had mac nut pesto pasta. I had to go back. I don't know when it became popular to stack food on other means of life, but the ribs came out as if they were to have been in a nutshell, not on a dish. about six finger potatoes (we call them seeds on the farm), the seasonal vegetables, that was four baby bok choy, which sat in the steam table for several hours, and literally six small ribs. not even half a rack, $28. all tidyly stacked on top of each other, like a small food dump. rib could have been boiled in a pressure cooker, there was no char, no millard effect (sp)"

"We drove up to Hilo from Kona for the night to go to this restaurant. It’s about 1 hour and 50 minutes. We are flying back to Maryland tomorrow. The night started off great. We are extremely patient people because we have both owned restaurants. Extremely patient. Everything was great and then more tables started coming in. We got our appetizer which was good. They brought one salad when we had ordered 2 but we didn’t make a big deal of it. My husband had ordered a glass of wine and wanted another but the waitress did not come back to the table for a long time. We got our dinner which a runner brought out and that was fine except my fish was cold and my husbands dinner was cold. Nobody came to the table to ask how is your dinner; or anything. When she finally came over to see if we were okay; he told her about the sautéed vegetables and she said I will go and get you some hot ones. She never came back except to ask us if we wanted dessert. So; basically; our dinners were cold because it took a long time to get them and apparently they were sitting back there. The waitress did not come back as she should have to make sure everything was okay until Much later. At this time 2 absolutely large tables came in and I was tired and he was very upset so we paid and left. Yes we left a tip. I know the waitresses name but I would never mention it. However she needs to pay more attention to the customers that she has."
