Charlie was our server and did an excellent job. Three in our party have nut allergies and he and the staff were very attentive to that. The food was delicious…Ono as they say here. Several of us had the Blue Marlin. Very good!

Wow, a great find in Kapa’a. My wife had spotted it earlier in the week. We made it in to wrap up our trip. Both cocktails were creative and flavorful. The tuna carpaccio was fresh and delicious. The lamb chop appetizer special was cooked beautifully. The salad was fresh and crisp. The miso carbonara is a good twist on a classic. Stephanie did a great job with service, answering questions, making recommendations. We would dine with Naisla again.
