    The service was really good. If dining when they have live music, if given a choice, I recommend eating on the lanai so you can hear your own conversation more easily. All the food was excellent. Starting with the free, warm, light and airy popovers with strawberry butter…yum! Seconds are free, too; the only danger here is filling up on them before your entree arrives! The delicious truffle fries have the most truffle flavor compared to all others that I’ve tasted anywhere; they’re served perfectly seasoned with crisp edges, and a garlic aioli on the side. And the Shrimp and Crab Louie salad is so good too, with a good amount of crab on it, and 3 huge, perfectly-done shrimp, that I always end up getting it as my entree. I always want to try other things which sound good too, but don’t want to give up the chance to eat this again. I guess to try other things, I just need to come here more often, lol.

    What a great experience! Kalaha Resort was beautiful, so we came early to walk around the grounds. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and it was so much fun to see the dolphins and walk along the beach to the small island. Dinner was superb: the food was excellent, and our waiter Eric was top-notch. I'd highly recommend Plumeria House restaurant. Sit outside if you can----it's such a romantic experience!
