    I can’t say enough about Pono Pacific kitchen. The food is absolutely amazing every time, but that butterfish is hands-down the reason I come back here so often! It is flown in from Hawaii and marinated for three days and that’s just this dish. Everything is locally sourced as much as possible and Organic, Fresh and House made! And I don’t know if the food is better than the service, but the service is top-notch as well. Ashlee (the owner) and all of the staff always remember you! I give this place 100 stars!!! it’s my favorite!

    I recommend the filet mignon, it was excellent! Everyone in our group commented on how great their meal was and the service was great as well. When the server explained the specials he also gave us the prices which a lot of restaurants don’t do. Also, great ocean and sunset view.
