    Excellent food. Service was good. Sommelier helped pick wine and had really good suggestions. Sommelier was also attentive checking back and refreshing our wine glass. Unfortunately, 1/2 way through dinner the waitress took it upon herself to dump the remainder of the wine into our glasses, and took the bottle way. This made our glasses over full, and the white wine was not as enjoyable when i finally got to the end of it as it was warmer than i prefer. It felt like the wait staff continually were trying to clear the table. Perhaps it’s me, but i prefer not to feel rushed and i don’t believe we overstayed based on our departure time.

    We came here due to the good ratings but left disappointed. Both food and service fell short. I was surprised that “seared” opakapaka was overcooked. While we were still eating desserts, our server already dropped off the check and kept checking if we were ready to pay. The restaurant was still pretty empty at the time. Btw, the restaurant has mandatory 20% service charge even when the waiter did not refill our water once. Maybe this is why he was so eager to kick us out.

    Delicious food, as always. Service was lacking, it took longer than expected to bring things like bread and dessert. Bread (that we paid for) was not included in our leftovers to go which was disappointing.

    Not happy about the automatic 20% gratuity charge for 3 people. They should inform customers in advance at minimum.
