“The Cactus is always our go to on the way up island as it’s consistently amazing for food, drinks and service but this time was exceptional for two reasons. The first being our server Shane, he was the best server we’ve EVER had. It was our anniversary and he made it an even more spectacular day than it already was. His service was perfect in every way, friendly, fun, engaging, and knowledgeable. The second being your new menu! We had the scallop ceviche which was to die for (forgot to take a pic) prawn crunch roll and salmon aburi roll, which were equally as delicious! Beautiful presentation and taste!“
