    This place is simply amazing. Our waitress was so sweet. She was so knowledgeable about all menu items. We have been meaning to try this place for a while and never got a chance to. I saw their James Beard special on TV and finally got a chance ro try them last week. We just HAD to return again this week. They are just that good. We will keep returning again and again. Their Caesar salad dressing (as our waitress says) is DRINKABLE! SERIOUSLY! That thing is ridiculous!! The Kaua'i shrimp special (we may be a little biased) was so 'ono. The shrimp dish and risotto dish was so flavorful. Everything we ordered was just so mouth watering! Go, go, go, go,go!!! This place is a MUST visit. Worth the parking hassle. Lol. Find it on the street or st the end of the road in the paid parking lot.

    Just dined here last evening with our client from Germany and his local friend. Had asked for a table with a fabulous view (so we could "show off" a little for our guests). They delivered!! Perfect-O!! The food was wonderful! You must try that spectacular bone-in veal chop!! We all enjoyed our meals to the fullest. Hope to go back again sometime soon!! NOTE: My husband and I have been going to this establishment since it was known as "The Summit" (around 1979). It was great even at that time. And, it has only improved since then. Highly recommend it!
