    Definitely not as good as our first visit. Portions inconsistent. Wine pours ridiculous for the price. The restaurant is freezing. My dinner was cold and took forever to get that fixed. My dinner portion was almost 1/2 the size from our first visit. So incredibly embarrassing taking our friends after raving about this restaurant only to have every aspect substandard. I can’t imagine we will return anytime soon.

    The appetizers and drinks were fantastic. The main meals were cold. They arrived at four different times for four people, and the service was very very very slow. They said they were short staff, but they should’ve compensated for it. We were there almost 3 hours for a meal of four people.

    I went for my birthday on a Wednesday night. Not very busy but that was actually nice to me. Great ambiance. Food and cocktails were good! Our waiter was awesome. He let my fiance sample the wine before committing to which one he wanted which not many people do. they also gave us a sake shot and dessert for my birthday!

    Our experience at Leilani's was great. Our reservation allowed us to sit immediately, and two staff members greeted us before we saw our server. Our server greeted and addressed herself and tended to us promptly. We had Korean fried chicken, vegetarian scallops, miso soup, and drinks. Our food arrived piping hot and was delicious! We are going back soon to try the other items on the menu.

    Excellent food, excellent staff. The wait time was a little longer than expected for services, but we were in a hurry so it probably just seemed longer to us. Will go again!
