Lovely and beautiful patio. Great food and good selection of wines. Outstanding service staff with excellent attitude. A meal to remember!

Great wine and all dishes were well executed. Better for dinners w/no kids, but staff was kind and patient to our three kids.

A restaurant with little to no faults (couldn’t find any myself), thank you Isaac for the spot on recommendations and attentive service. If you’re on this island and don’t go here you’ve wasted an evening out.

Great food. Steve and Ryan were excellent! Best service I've received so far. We got the paletas and it didn't disappoint. If you don't like a drink on the menu ask Steve and he'll whip you something up to fit your liking.

This is a conversation-challenged restaurant. The noise level was too much in the big room between the bar and the outdoor seating area. The seafood paella was good.

Where do I start. If you haven't already try this restaurant, well I gotta say it's a must come. Food was over the top good. Service is seriously good I mean next level good. Very nice decoration in here , but you must must make reservations this restaurant is 2 to 3 month booked. I highly recommend here.

I came upon this restaurant searching on Yelp for a restaurant in the area that I had paella before, but decided to try this place instead. The first thing I noticed when walking in was what a fancy place it is. You can tell they put a lot of thought (and money) into the atmosphere/decor. The next thing I noticed was how empty it is compared to restaurants on the main strip (ie Cheesecake Factory). In my case this was a good thing. As a walk-in I was seated right away at the bar. The next thing I noticed was the menu was extensive and mostly authentically Spanish (not some vague "Mediterranean" like a lot of " Tapas" places in the US). There were so many things I wanted to try. But I went with two of my favorite Spanish dishes, the croquettas and the (chicken) paella. The croquettas were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The paella overall was very good. The rice had a bit of the crispy/caramelized bottom without being dried out. Good saffron flavor. The chicken thigh pieces were cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and skin had a crackling crust to it. I did feel like the chicken was underseasoned/undersalted. Had the chicken been a bit more seasoned, that would have put the dish over the top for me. Of note, the paella can be customized to some extent. I'm not a huge fan of beans which is the usual on the chicken paella here. I had them sub in bell pepers which is the usual on the seafood paella here. The chicken paella also had some spam and chorizo mixed in. I'm usually a fan of those things, but in this dish I felt like I could have done without those. I'm a pretty big eater and got full from eating most of the paella. It's definitely big enough for one and for two supplemented with some of the smaller items. I felt the pricing was very reasonable for this type of food and atmosphere. Two glasses of wine and pretty full from my two dishes was around $70. I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Hawaii.

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic dinner while on vacation on Oahu. What a great find, kind of hidden away on a side street. We ate on the back patio at sunset....beautiful and relaxing. Our server, Lloyd, was pleasant, knowledgeable and attentive! The tapas(small plate) was perfect to share. The attention to detail and presentation of each dish was amazing. The sangria was the best we have ever had...apparently it's the chefs family recipe. Price was very reasonable for the level of service and quality of food!

Great experience...each dish was fresh and full of flavor. Their pasta dish (uni and crab) was well prepared perfectly al dente with flavor that was well balanced. Paella was bursting with flavor. Will definitely come back again.
