Very fun experience to enjoy the assignments of a culinary classroom! One must dine with patience though because it is truly a work in progress. Nothing was rushed except guests at the end of the class period and that was in order to prepare for the next class.
This was my first time here. Not super easy to find. I enjoyed dining here though. The food was decent but the service was fabulous. There is limited selection on the dinner options after a particular hour. Book by reservation only and BYOB. I would attend again to try some of their other options.
Sometimes the service can be slow as students are learning. Our waiter was very attentive to us, and sometimes fulfilled our needs before asking. Food was excellent compared to price paid. We has a nice view of Diamond Head!
