    Food was excellent! There were 9 of us and we each ordered something different and everyone enjoyed their meal and drinks. I got the avocado tacos and it was delicious!

    Food was delicious!! & the host was very accommodating. Yes, it was slow to get order in, but they were busy & it wasn’t anything crazy. The bartender & everyone super friendly. Would definitely go back

    Lanai was excellent! Had a slight wait but the staff and the food made up for it. Excellent service and super accommodating. The food was the best we've had on the island so far. Well seasoned and great flavor!

    We were a large party of eight and service and food experience exceeded our expectations. Cocktails were also creative and fantastic! Remember, when on vacation here, you are on island time! Patience and general good manners go a long way.

    A little over prices for what we received. Server was handling the entire deck and was scrambling her best but just had too many tables.

    We had 7 pm reservations and were seated right away. It took 20 minutes for our waiter to come to our table and take our drink order. The first drink (beer) came after another 10 minutes and the second (wine) about 10 minutes after that. Our appetizer was then served- no napkins, silverware or plates. We flagged him down and asked for these items, after waiting 7 minutes and apps getting cold, my husband went to front of house to get the necessary items. Our dinners did come out at the same time. The food was really quite good and we enjoyed our meal. The menu did state that a 20% gratuity was automatically added which probably explains the poor service. The waiter gets a tip no matter what. Sadly, while we will return to the island, we will not be returning to this place. So many other choices with exceptional service
