LBD Japanese Bar & Lounge

No napkins. Water never refilled. Got about 1/2 of what we ordered. The skewers we did get were cold. Never came to check on us so didnt reslly have a chsnce to inform waiter tbat order was missing. Waited a little while and decided didnt need the rest of the order. Had to ask for check twice. Food is okay.

Terrible service. Took 40 minutes to get three of our four drinks. The fourth drink (sake) was bottled in the back and forgotten about, we weren’t informed until we asked.

I sat at the bar for a couple drinks on a windy night. The bartenders were Japheth, Sela, and Ryder. All 3 were amazing and personable. I ended up staying way later than I expected because I had so much fun chilling with them.

Had a very disappointing experience when coming out in a small party of 4, simple expectations wouldn't be met. Waited for about half hour just to get water in. Another half hour for drinks. Alright so once we got through the terrible service, spoke with 5 different people since no one has an idea of what they're doing, oh I forgot there were like 5 different menus that weren't all brought up to us, even tho the servers would refer to us as if we were supposed to guess what was available. The food was good!
Some waiters complained they're working 3 different restaurants at the same time (who does that) this place is connected to two other restaurants!!!
We have asked for recommendations for a celiac guest, the server was incredibly rude as if this condition was someone's fault. Didn't come up with a solution, then others started coming to our table making the whole order a mess, lots of wrong items coming through, anyway, you get the picture, an unfortunate disaster in a moment that was supposed to be celebratory.
The place has so much potential, I hope they get it together, but won't come back.

Dietary restrictions: If you have any restrictions this place is NOT equipped to accommodate.

Service: I have to say, I’m not the easiest person to serve at a restaurant. Celiac disease, gluten and dairy severe allergy and Japheth (our incredible server) was just on it. I reflexively usually just apologize for being a pain and he reassured me that allergies were taken seriously and that no apologies were necessary. He made us feel right at home and I’m beyond grateful for having someone so kind and understanding helping us out. There’s always a little anxiety when you go out to eat with Celiac disease but Japheth put my mind at ease and sure enough, no issues at all. He even remembered when we came back a few days later when we were served by Linnea, who also took wonderful care of us. Just outstanding service overall and happy to have met such a great crew!Food: The sushi is honestly so good - which is saying something since it’s Hawaii and you can find plenty of solid sushi options.Atmosphere: It’s a pretty versatile space. Happy hour is from midday to the evening, so the late lunch/dinner vibes are casual enough that we can come in from a day at the beach or dress up a little and get some great cocktails at night.All around would recommend popping in!

Awesome food and great atmosphere. They were obviously short staffed but everybody including manager and host pitched in to make it a great evening.
