    We had an early 5pm Christmas Eve seating. The restaurant wasn't very crowded. The staff was very attentive. It's a lovely setting facing the ocean off of Kailua Bay, and we watched the sun set. The meals were delicious. I had the stuffed Ono with a lobster cream cheese sauce and Cajun spices. It was excellent! My husband had his usual fish and chips, also very good. We started with the chowder soup for my husband. I had a very large green salad with the house made thousand island dressing. Again, both were very good.

    We were a huge group and our servers could not have been more helpful and patient with us. They did a great job of getting the food and drinks out in a timely manner. Everyone had a good time. The two little kids in our group loved the noodles and chicken nuggets. I heard positive words about the fish tacos and fish and chips. I liked the spinach salad with grilled chicken.

    Server was awesome. We ordered a bunch of apps which all were amazing. Originally thought the restaurant was where the old Rays on the Bay was, but instead was in the middle court area on the lower level.
