It is a nice restaurant in a fancy place (Kapalua Golf Course)
Great view of the course and bit of the ocean
Food-wise, it was pretty good though I find it quite overwhelming. Not sure but I seem to notice that Hawaiians love to have their food sort of having overwhelming taste. I had a risotto and it had some coconut so it kinda was very filling and was a bit too much.

Seafood Risotto with Fresh Catch, Lobster, Shrimp ($40)

It was generally good though I felt that it was too overwhelming due to the coconut mixed into the risotto.

Lobster was OK. Liked the shrimp, the fresh catch (Opah Fish) was OK though doesn't have much of a taste.

Fresh Catch of the Day with Thai Curry and Jasmine Rice ($35)

You know when they try to make a Thai curry and do it with a twist, it just not that great! Fish and everything was good, it was just not that great.

Pineapple Upside down cake ($10)

It was with Phyllo Dough (on top) which was interesting., ice cream was with some nuts, but it was nothing amazing or great but it looked pretty

Watermelon and Lilikoi Cocktails ($6 each)

Went for happy hour and this was just for 6 dollars. Kinda diluted though and the Lilikoi was too sweet while the watermelon didn't really tasted refreshign but was interesting with the "chili" water.

Fried Artichoke with Buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing ($8 dollars during happy hour; $12 normally)
The artichokes were good though I kinda didn't enjoy the buffalo sauce nor the blue cheese dressing! It was quite plenty for an appetizer/happy hour though so that was good!
