    Could not fault it. Seeing 5 stars gives me pause for most restaurants in San Diego, especially those that have been standing for 20+ years. What is it that makes the average diner feel they are eating at a 5 star restaurant? Is it the food? The ambience? Whatever it is, they have it. Some of my favorite seafood dishes in the world don’t even come close to the Macadamia crusted halibut, or the Swordchop au Poivre. The hand roll special with uni and toro was absolutely unbelievable. To wrap it all up in a nice bow, the milk punch and the selkie song were top-notch clarified cocktails which I’ll be craving until my next visit. Even the service felt attentive, and frankly, sincere, which is often hard to find. 10/10 will be back again and will not stop talking about it until I do!

    Delicious swordfish plate and pulled pork sandwich were superb. We didn’t want the meal to end because every bite was so scrumptious! Mai Tai’s, coconut shrimp appetizer, and a fantastic Hula Pie with Kioki coffees ended our meal just perfectly! And the view was spectacular from the patio. Can’t say enough good things about our birthday celebration meal! Highly recommend for lunch or dinner while in San Diego seeking the island vibe.

    My family and I had the BEST time while dining here. We had front row to the beach and were able to watch our kids play on the beach while my husband and I enjoyed a nice meal and relaxed! The service was so kind and friendly! The steak and apps were wonderful as well. We loved it so much we ate here back to back nights!
