I come to Miyo’s Restaurant and Izakaya Bar around 10 times a year, and the food, service, and ambiance are consistently excellent. Seeing the shower trees from the lanai is very relaxing, and it would be great if there were speakers above the lanai area someday.

Such a great meal! So much flavor and freshness, it was easily the best meal we had on the island. Terrific cocktails (try the coffee-tini) at great prices and an overall welcoming vibe!
