The wonderful local food, live music, and cozy atmosphere, make this restaurant hard to beat in hilo. Our table ordered a wide righty from the menu, and were pleased with every dish, and the information of where the foods were sourced from. It’s obvious how much aloha went into the feast. A new favorite date night Spot or family celebration place.

Amazing food, great service and great atmosphere. They had live music going on. We went for my birthday dinner. This is one of the best restaurants in Hilo I would say. Food quality was great. All our dishes were amazing. Would highly recommend this place.

Super delicious. We tried the ravioli and soft braised ribs. Also tried the tiramisu martini and espresso martini all very very tasty. I must try if you are in the area.
