    I just want to give a shout out to Rhonda. She took such good care of me. I have a small appetite, but the items I ordered were so, so good. This was my first visit, and I couldn’t have had a better time..

    Welcoming service, inventive food (venison pasta, sausage and clams), chill vibe. We wanted to get out of the tourist zone and of the two places we tried this was the winner.

    Great food and service. Started out with wonderful cocktails and really friendly service. We had a bunch of shared courses, all were interesting and tasty. Menu is small, but varied. Lots of vegetables plus seafood and meat dishes. Wish we were here longer so w could go back.

    From our initial greeting, to service with ALOHA, a memorable experience! 2 of us pretty much did the whole menu ‘family style’ and shared everything. Seemed like quite a haul of items, but we couldn’t resist. Fern shoot salad had the perfect balance of acid to enhance the dish. The Clams.. beyond! Porchetta with Lu’au leaves perfect. Venison ragout with pappardelle, outstanding. The Bakeshop perfectly toasted bread, sublime. To the fond aloha at the end.. 🤙🏽🌺💛🧡🤎☀️‼️ All LOCALLY SOURCED, all served with ALOHA 🤙🏽✨🌺

    オリジナリティに溢れた美味しい料理でした。 ソフトドリンクは、メニューに無いフレッシュジンジャーエールを作って貰えました。 二人用の料理を三人用にする提案をして貰えました。 英語をゆっくり話してくれたり、店員さんが知っている日本語を使ってくださいました。 とてもフレンドリーで素晴らしく対応でした。

    Chef Ed Kenney never disappoints. His menu changes with the available local ingredients and every time we go the new dishes are outstanding. Staff is very friendly and warm. Highly recommend Mud, Hen Water to everyone.
