    Staff and food were top notch. Noise level was high due to hardscape flooring and decor. We felt that was a detractor.

    So very difficult to rate. Service was excellent. Salad was a 10/10 however my lobster on my gnocchi was basically raw. Slight cooked on the outside but raw internal. I returned it, received an apology and it was removed from the bill. So a huge error but was corrected. Just did not except such a big error and is the reason for my lower review. I realize things happen and would probably go back at another time.

That said, we sincerely apologize for the issue with your entrée. While we are pleased our team was able to address the matter promptly, we understand how disappointing it must have been, especially during what should have been an enjoyable meal. We truly appreciate your understanding and your willingness to give us another try. We look forward to the opportunity to provide you with the exceptional experience you deserve.

    Our service was great. Appetizers were good. Entrees passable. We ordered a very nice bottle of wine and the restaurant has a nice wine list. Unfortunately the wine glasses were dollar store wine glasses. For a restaurant that wants to be high end, please invest in proper wine glasses. Overall experience was underwhelming.
    Red Salt at Ko’a Kea ResortResponded on April 15, 2025
    Aloha Elizabeth and mahalo for the feedback, we do intend to adjust appropriately. We have a change to the wine glass to begin May and I think you will be pleased. Please feel free to reach out anytime, we would relish an opportunity to improve upon your experience. Mahalo! Koa Kea Food and Beverage Team (808) 742-4200

    Nice space and very friendly service. I was disappointed in that the online menu was different than the menu presented to us. Evidently the menu changed a few weeks ago and the online version did not get updated.

    Aloha Bob, Thank you for your kind words about our space and the service you received. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the menu. We strive to keep all our information up-to-date, and we regret that the online version was not in sync with the current menu. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will make sure to update the online menu to reflect the latest changes. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Red Salt soon for a seamless experience. Mahalo, Ko'a Kea Food & Beverage Team
