After seating us 15 minutes past our reservation time (acceptable, I think), our waiter took another 10-15 minutes to become fully functional; i.e., took our drink orders. Of course, the tempo picked up when he thought it was time for us to order. VERY quickly, our appetizers arrived (we ordered the prix fixe dinner), followed by our dinner. Actually, he... More

The food is really, really average at best, the ambiance is terrible (it is in a mall), and the prices are extortionate. More

Exceptional food but high prices. I enjoyed the food very much but the price makes it a special occasion spot for me. More

The food was excellent and the service was above average. The prices seemed pretty high, even for Kauai. The least expensive glass of wine, for example, was $9 and the entrees were over $30. More

I ate here last night and it was fabulous! Ask for Mikey. His recommendations were spot on! Did cost us some $$$$$-but we are in Kauai-so this is to be expected :) More

Not impressed at all. Server was grumpy and gave us the tourist stink eye all the time. We were not those people, very nice to be exact and tipped 30% which still confuses me to this day. The food was good, but the price as usual was too high for the dish. Place was a mad house, so if your... More

We acquired vouchers for 10 dollars off our entries from Alaska Airlines for this restaurant. Felt that the discount would make the trip from Princeville to Poipu worth the drive for dinner. We were not disappointed. The food was great. The service very friendly. Our waitress Lily Lani? took the time to answer a lot of our questions about the... More

One of the best meals of our trip, but probably would not return due to the noise level. We were sat in the rear of the restaurant (maybe it was better up front). You could hear every conversation around us and the overall drone of noise really detracted from an otherwise exceptional meal. More

We dropped by Roy's one night for drinks and appetizers. Sat at the bar across from the main restaurant. We had a variety of appetizers, all of which were tasty. Drinks we very good and worth the money. Bartender was very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this side of the house. Unfortunately we did not have a chance to... More
