I fantasize about that burger, I dream about that burger, every waking moment of my life is spent mourning that burger. I would take a trip to Hawaii for the burger itself.

“This was a 10/10 experience! All of the performers were amazing. The fire dancer had my jaw literally on the floor in awe. So impressive. I loved the storytelling as well, I learned a good bit about Hawaiian culture and history.

The food was exceptional in my opinion. I hear a lot of luau reviews saying don’t expect much from the food, so I didn’t go in with high expectations, but needless to say they were far exceeded. A great variety of dishes, and the signature kalua pig was insanely good. I loved the chance to try other traditional foods like poi and lomi salmon as well.”

“Awesome dinner and fresh Ono is the best”

“Came here with my girls for some bites, drinks, and a sunset view. Not disappointed. The view is amazing! The service all around is great, and special shout out to Cheyne our bartender. He took great care of us!! Jour was also amazing and made us feel so welcomed.”
