    They were advertising a 27.95 dinner. There were several option that in the description it said gf 7. Some gf 8, gf 9. I was surprised when I got my check and there was an upcharge, I didn’t order gf. Turns out the up charge was for all order not just gf. Also the peas were not snap peas, they were peas to gf shelled- meaning the shell was stringy and not edible.

    We're sorry for the confusion regarding the upcharge and the issue with the peas, Simone. Thank you for your feedback, and we'll work on clarifying our menu descriptions to prevent future misunderstandings.

    Pros: Reservations easy to make. Restaurant was beautifully decorated. Hostess was friendly and gave excellent service. Two of three food orders were tasty and a good price. Cons: food service long wait. Waitress didn’t provide my beverage but provided the others at my table. I had to reorder when food order taken. Salmon entree had bones and was not warm and accompanied with green beans that were very stringy. Manager said he would comp out but the bill had no subtraction which required an additional query. Overall: ok place for someone who likes to linger, maybe bring a book! Will not return.

    Thank you for your feedback, Kapualani. We apologize for the issues with your salmon entree and the service delays; we'll address these concerns to improve future experiences.

    Beef tenderloin undercooked. Had to send back and waited 15 mins more for a new piece cooked the way I asked. My daughter found a piece of plastic in her Korean glass noodle entree. Waitress didn’t come to check on our table as often as a she should have. Some of our dirty dishes weren’t cleared from the table during our dinner. Food is overpriced here. The Duo combinations dinners do not save you money. I would not eat here again.
