Great atmosphere. Definitely loud, but the tiki torch lighting is lovely and restful, and the service (our waiter was Michael) is excellent. Food was pretty good. My husband loved his seafood risotto (plenty of scallops, a small lobster tail, and one big shrimp). My macadamia crusted fish was a bit dry, but the rice, veg, and butter caper sauce were tasty. The portion was on the smaller side for mine, although the risotto was plentiful. Delicious hula pie and coffee. Glad we ate here!

Beautiful ocean view and some pretty good grub. Started with Calamari and Macadamia Humas. Calamari was thick sticks, with an excellent aioli. Humas included carrots zucchini and pita bread, excellent. Bacon cheese burger with avocado was chared nicely with some crunchy beer battered fries. Little woman had Maui Caesar salad with sunflower seeds, kale,mixed greens and a light dressing (a little underwhelming on the dressing flavor). Our dining guest had the fish tacos (2 in soft tortilla) & said they were excellent. Make a reservation as they are busy during peak eating times.

Good food and nice service. Its a resort style beach bar/restaurant. There was live music too so that was nice. You don't have to own or stay at the resort to park or eat here and the parking is free. The live music was pretty chill and fit the lunch beach vibe.

Nice little restaurant right off the boardwalk. The staff is super nice. We only had to wait a few minutes for our seats. The poke tacos and ahi sashimi were outstanding! They also offer a lot of nice drinks! Prices were pretty good as well. Overall, I would recommend stopping if you are walking down the boardwalk.

My fiancé and I have enjoyed Duke’s Beach House for about a week since our arrival to Maui. We booked an all inclusive package which allotted breakfast vouchers for each day we’re here. We’ve had the pleasure of enjoying their delicious, hearty breakfast and sundown scenic dinner. The service is incredible! Shout out to Troy, Sid and Emily.

Duke’s is a must if you’re in the Lahaina area. The location is as spectacular as the service. Brian was attentive, very friendly, and quick to bring our order! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, from salads to burgers. I loved the fish and chips and also tried the Caesar salad. Leave room for the world-famous Hula Pie and spend some time at the beach afterward.

Delicious, fresh seafood at the cost you would expect for a seafood restaurant on a Maui resort. Service was very efficient and nice. Bar area has 5 tables and bar seating all first come first serve otherwise reservations are needed for the rest of the seating. Live music on a Sunday at 3P. Split an appetizer (nachos) and the fish plate. They kindly split the fish plate and presented it on two separate plates and half portions without extra charge. Fantastic service. Drinks were amazing.

You’re coming here for the incredible ocean and beach views whilst enjoying a decent breakfast. Seriously, it’s the atmosphere that is the selling point. But you’ll pay the price, not so much in dollars but time. People in line said it would take an hour and came previous days where it was even longer. For pancakes and eggs? Yeah. So a pro tip: order by phone and it takes 25-20 minutes. Grab a table or lounger right next to the restaurant outside by the hotel pool. Same incredible view but much faster! But they’re super nice. They have umbrellas to shade from the sun. They gave cups of ice water too. Food: Pancakes were average. Not particularly fluffy or special quality. And they gave a huge platter of cream which of course made them better. The omelette with Swiss cheese (forgot the official name) was pretty good but ya gotta like cheese. Portuguese sausages were the best item IMO. Breakfast potatoes pretty good too. But the toast wasn’t very toasty.

Really nice spot for breakfast. Great views of the ocean and relatively affordable for the quantity provided. I would highly recommend the omelettes. We also ordered a shrimp sandwich which was really fresh and tasty. There is ample parking available and don’t miss out on the fresh fruit! Highly recommended.

We got the scrambled eggs and the combo pancakes. They were delicious and amazing and the servings here are huge. Definitely recommend coming here as it opens so you don't have to wait in line. If you come later, just know you can do takeout and that will be way way faster.

Popular breakfast spot with beach views. We read other reviews that recommended arriving here earlier than the 7:30am opening time. We arrived at 7am and it was 35 minute wait after opening. The line moved slowly because there’s limited seating and people don’t rush but it’s a vacation vibe, so what do you expect. We ordered the combo pancakes and the half order of fried rice. The half order portion was huge - I still had leftovers after the meal. Cash and credit cards accepted but it’s more expensive to use credit cards. The view of the water was great and our waitress was efficient. Everyone was chilling and assuming that you’re not in a rush, it is a good place to stop by.

An outdoor seating restaurant with superior service and food. We waited 30 minutes for a table and when left there were at least that many people in line for a table. When my sandwich got soggy because I hadn't eaten it fast enough, the waitress volunteered to return it to the cook to be regrilled. Many of the sides, sauces, and condiments are made in house. A great experience.

Listen, the food here is absolutely delicious and the staff were so quick and friendly. My husband and I split the pancakes and fried rice but we still couldn’t finish it all so just know the portions are huge! If it weren’t for the outrageous wait times with no organization around waiting to be seated (putting a name down), then I would’ve ranked this a 5/5. We got there right at open and there was a long line waiting already, which we expected but thought it would move faster than it did. It took us nearly an hour of standing in line to be seated, which at some point just isn’t worth it to me. My husband didn’t seem to mind, so to each his own, but I was absolutely drained and just wanted to rest. There was only one provided bench and pool loungers from the hotel that’s next to it, but the loungers were covered in water from the rain and bird poop, so you’re more than likely going to have to stand the whole time. Once again, not the biggest deal to some people, but it was nearly a deal breaker for me. If you can get around that, it’s absolutely worth the hype!

This is a not-so-hidden “Gem” spot.. that should most definitely be on your “must eat” Maui list! Go early in your trip, as you will have leftovers for days — portions are THAT generous! Be prepared to wait in line - but soooo worth it. ENJOY🌊

We had the pleasure of dining at Merriman’s in Maui during our honeymoon, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely amazing — the macadamia nut crusted fish was out of this world, and the freshly baked bread with tomato and oil was such a delicious start to the meal. What really made our experience special, though, was the outstanding service. Our server, Ben, was fantastic — so friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the menu to us. After dinner, we went down to the outdoor area where we met Nolan, the bartender, who was not only great at what he does but also a pleasure to talk with. On our last night in Maui, we returned for late-night drinks and were taken care of by Viola, who was just as wonderful and friendly. Thank you, Merriman’s, for helping make our honeymoon so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything was perfection! We celebrated our wedding anniversary here and so glad we did. The macadamia crusted catch of the day was excellent and so fresh. The dessert and other plates were so good too. Not to mention the ambiance and the amazing service - our server was so nice, attentive and passionate about the food. Highly recommend!

Spot on for fine dining. We had our kids with us and they were accommodating for children which I appreciate. The service was immaculate. There is a happy hour bar that does not accept reservations, but if you want to dine, I’d recommend reservations. The adults ordered: ahi sashimi (10/10) with fresh wasabi (holy moly) Oysters (off menu) (10/10) Caesar salad (8/10) Macadamia nut crusted fresh catch (7/10) Filet mignon (10/10) My kids ordered steak and pasta and everyone was very happy with their meal. We also got icecream and crème brûlée (off menu) which was immaculate.

What an amazing place! We had never been during our previous visits to Maui, now we'll be sure not to miss it! Absolutely stunning views during an outstanding dinner! Andy, our Server, was fantastic and attentive, yet didn't rush us at all. We had a table on the railing, which is as good as it gets! Before the sunset, all shades were raised so the entire restaurant could experience it! Now the food and drinks, perfect. The Mai Tais were delicious. We had the Sashimi Special for an appetizer which was uber fresh, the Ceviche which was delicious, and then dinner consisted of the Scallop and Clam option, along with the Ono and seared Ahi option. Everything was super flavorful and delicious. Dessert was the bread pudding with Macadamia and carmel... unreal. It's a MUST to end your evening with that! All in all a perfect dinner at one of the best restaurants with one amazing view. Thank you, and we can't wait to visit again!

We had a wonderful dinner at Merrimans on our honeymoon! The views were stunning, service was 10/10, and food was phenomenal. It’s a must-try spot for a romantic dinner. We had the crusted mahi mahi, filet, poke, and quesadillas. The bread pudding was incredible well! They also brought out a lovely dessert to congratulate us. We will be back here soon!

Celebrated our honeymoon in Maui about a month ago and had reserved about 3 months in advance at Merriman’s. One of the best decisions we made for this trip. From the moment we entered to the moment we left, the staff made us feel beyond welcome. They offered us small drinks to toast our honeymoon, the food was AMAZING, our waiter Robert was very knowledgeable and friendly, and they showed a lot of carefulness to our food intolerances/preferences and made sure every detail was well thought of. The hostess Sam made sure were happy and comfortable and even offered to take pictures of us with the sunset which we so much appreciated. My husband and I were so happy that we decided it would be one of the places we’d happily go back to every time we visit Maui. Huge thanks to everyone who participated in making our experience so enjoyable!!

We had lovelier evening with the family. The views were amazing, the atmosphere was elegant and warm. The service is 5 star. We didn't feel rushed. Food was excellent.

A pristine beach with breathtaking views! There are day use rentals & great shore snorkeling with a variety of fish, coral and several large sea turtles. Parking ranges from $18-$20 if there’s no free street parking-it’s a paved five minute path to the beach with nice permanent restrooms with outdoor running water to clean your Sandals etc Definitely check it out!

Great beach! Seemed like parking could be tight but never had a problem because we got there in the morning. I swam a couple of times out here with my 8 y/o son and the waves never got very big compared to other beaches we went to. Saw a lot of fish especially along the one side of the bay where there was a lot of coral that hadn't been trampled on

Very nice beach with excellent snorkeling. Decent amount of parking, but it can fill up toward the middle of the day so I’d recommend coming earlier rather than later. Street parking is free if you can find a spot, and the parking lot is pretty expensive at $33 for a day pass (the only option). The Kapalua Coastal Trail starts here as well and is an extremely nice out-and-back trail that follows the pacific coast. Very nice bathroom that is well-maintained and clean. This is a must-visit spot if you are in the area.

Beautiful little beach, easy access, expensive parking. You have to pay for a day pass, with tax is over $30. We hung out for several hours and had a great time, felt like it was worth it. I snorkeled the whole bay, saw several turtles, a ton of fish, an eel, and supposedly someone saw an octopus. My kids played in the sand and the waves. Plenty of nice beach for them without coral or lava rock too close to tear them up. Just out from the beach there is lots of coral for exploring. Really cool spot. It was pretty crowded when we go there, but it cleared out when it rained (I didn’t even know it was raining because I was snorkeling lol). We will probably go back here if in the area.

Further north along the coast of Maui sits Kapalua Bay, a beautiful bay with a nice but small beach and decent snorkeling options. The journey to the beach was a bit long as parking is a bit of a walk out and even more so if you choose not to pay for parking (we are cheap so we didn’t). The walk itself is pretty and the path is nice with a wash off area included at the entrance point where there are bathrooms as well. The beach itself is on the smaller side than others so finding a spot may take an early arrival or patience as a whole. The water is clear although when we went further out the visibility was not as good as it was the days prior at Black Rock Beach. As for snorkeling specifically, the fish variety was alright and the lower visibility, although not terrible, certainly didn’t grant as much fun as we had hoped. Unfortunately as mentioned before, if the snorkeling isn’t good then there isn’t much else going for the beach as it is a bit smaller and crowded. If we had to label it as something we would call it more of a lounging beach, a relaxing place to enjoy the view and waves. We could have just had bad luck with snorkeling that day so that’s something to note as others may have had a different experience. Nevertheless, it’s a beach. Go out and enjoy the waves!

We got a condo down in Kihei - about 40 minute drive to this beach - and ended up on this beach 3 out of the 8 days we were here as this is the best beach we've gone to! It being a bay is very safe, the beach is great for kids to play in, and snorkeling is phenomenal. We recommend that you don't park in the lot by the beach - 40.00 bucks I think, but try to find a spot along the road right next to the lot OR park at the tennis courts above the road where parking is 15 for the whole day. Definitely a beach worth a try!

Beautiful snorkeling! One of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Soft golden sand. Clear blue green water. Beautiful, colorful fish, including large parrot fish, surgeon fish, and puffer fish. We also saw one spot butterfly fish, banded wrasses, box fish, a large school of white fish, a needle fish, ornate butterfly fish, Sargent fish, damsel fish, pink sea urchins, Black Sea urchins, puffy red urchins, and a sea turtle. There were a few still living corals, too.

We sat in the front window seat. You order upon entering. We asked for water and they brought a large glass bottle with a seal on top and two cold metal glasses. I liked the water and the glasses but my wife would have preferred ice. Seating wasn’t very comfortable and tables were family style and larger tables were meant to be shared. I had fish and chips. The fish was great. It was hot, very tender and juicy, and the batter was light and tasty. The fries were not to my liking, as they were the stringy hard ones, but I acknowledge others like that style. The service was good. The food was not quick, but reasonable for the high quality. I could see that the experience at the counter was very different and had a great deal of interaction with the staff and could see into the kitchen. I have had take out from here and it was very good.

A good selection of gluten-free options. The garlic shrimp and braised beef short ribs were delicious. The crispy pork belly was super tasty! Generous portions. Friendly staff and atmosphere.

Incredible incredible Filipino food. Hands down one of the best lumpia, crispy pasta, garlic shrimp, and garlic chicken I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and eat here ASAP. It’s def worth the trip. This is one of the best meals I’ve had on the island. Mabuhay!

Delicious and creative menu of local island culinary specialties. Always love eating here. Had eggs with all the breakfast sides...even tried spam for the 1st time, plus a delicious pancake with 2 syrups! Service was very friendly and helpful.

This local spot is such a delight! Everything here tastes so fresh and full of life. The mahi mahi and salmon were bursting with flavor, carrying that special “taste of Maui” in every bite. What I especially love is the little surprise on the plate — rice and fish paired with a peanut butter sauce. It’s unexpected, but it works beautifully. If you’re someone who enjoys trying unique touches, this is pure happiness on a plate! 😋❤️ P.S. Today is the next day, and we enjoyed Kauai shrimp and Huli Huli chicken — it was absolutely scrumptious!

We returned to Joey’s kitchen a number of times, all the food was delicious and the service was always awesome. Garlic Chicken, braised beef ribs, Garlic Kauai shrimp, I don’t think there’s anything you can get that isn’t great! Can’t wait to go back!

Great food and friendly service, even close to closing! We arrived around 7:40 PM (they close at 8), and even though there were still quite a few people in line, the wait wasn’t bad at all. They ran out of the pork adobo by then. We ordered the pork lumpia, crispy Brussels sprouts, pork belly plate, Kalua pork and cabbage, and the garlic chicken plate. Pork lumpia: Super crispy and moist filling. Brussels sprouts: Crispy and topped with a creamy mayo-based sauce and Parmesan. Pork belly: Skin was nice and crispy, but the meat was a bit dry and could’ve used more seasoning. The vinegar sauce on the side helped. Kalua pork & cabbage: Well-seasoned, tender, and paired nicely with rice. Garlic chicken: Fried and topped with a sweet glaze—not what I expected, but it was still good. The meat was moist and flavorful. The food was good, nothing amaaazing about it though. Portions were generous. Would definitely come back to try more.

Unbelievable! This was the best overall dining experience in Maui. Chris was our waiter and knew every dish and had phenomenal recommendations. We spent half as much as Mama’s fish house and got twice the food and quality

Came here last night as recommended by a friend’s friend & it did not disappoint! We made a reservation a couple hours beforehand but I’m not sure if it was really needed. Our server, Sonny, was the best! For small plates ordered the panko crusted ahi as recommended by Sonny, & also the lobster crab ravioli which were both delicious. For rolls we did the Hawaiian, scallop & cucumber, spicy hamachi, takah, & unagi rolls which were all tasty. The prices seemed reasonable & weren’t significantly more than what I would pay for sushi at home. I would definitely come again & recommend to friends & family. (For pictures, I didn’t take one of the lobster crab ravioli or I think the unagi roll)

Sansei is more than just a sushi spot—it’s a Hawaiian culinary experience that masterfully fuses Japanese tradition with bold Pacific Rim creativity. Whether you're dining in Honolulu, Waikoloa, Kapalua, or Kihei, expect a lively atmosphere, exceptional service, and a menu that surprises and delights. The food? Fresh, flavorful, and adventurous. The Asian Rock Shrimp Cake is a must-try appetizer: crispy on the outside, tender inside, and rich in umami. The Mango Crab Salad Hand Roll is a tropical dream—sweet, creamy, and perfectly balanced. And the Panko-Crusted Ahi? A standout dish with a golden crunch that gives way to silky, seared tuna. The vibe is upbeat yet casual, perfect for everything from romantic dates to group dinners. The staff are warm and attentive, adding a touch of aloha to every interaction. Sansei manages to be both a local favorite and a tourist treasure. It’s the kind of place you remember long after the vacation ends—and the kind of food you wish you could bring home with you. Rating: 9/10 – A flavor-packed must-visit

Our only regret is we discovered this place the 2nd to last night of our trip but we did make it two nights in a row! If you’re staying at the Ritz, do yourself a favor and make the 7 minute walk here for dinner. Having come back from my first trip to Japan 2 months ago, my standards for sushi were high. However, the melt in your mouth butterfish nigiri along with a tuna crunch roll, was the perfect marriage of US style rolls and Japanese fresh fish. Service was phenomenal both times we were there. We hope to come back soon!

I’m doing another sushi review—with the disclaimer that I usually stick to sushi rolls—but this place is an absolute must-visit. It’s like a culinary theme park for sushi lovers. The rolls and dishes coming out of the kitchen are visually stunning, packed with flavor, and made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The staff is outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Even during the off-season, the restaurant drew a steady crowd, which says a lot about its reputation. I can only imagine how packed it gets during peak season. If you plan to visit, I highly recommend making a reservation to secure a seat or at least reduce your wait time. —- 4 days later. Unfortunately, our second visit was a letdown. While the menu still features some great options, it was clear a different chef was behind the counter this time. The sushi rolls were underwhelming—more like small samples than full rolls. To be fair, I’m not a huge sushi fan and usually stick to a familiar category, but even by those standards, these just didn’t measure up.

We stopped here for a dinner date night while staying at the near by hotel. Craving some sushi, it’s nice to have this restaurant close by to the hotel. The food we ordered was tasty and the fish fresh.

Wow!! You absolutely must try the butterfish. It is hands down one of the best fish dishes I have ever had. The sauce was perfection and it just melts in your mouth. All of the food was excellent, we ordered so much! Nothing disappointed. Us and we had a great time. We went on Monday and showed up around 4:45 to a big line of people waiting for the happy hour. It was a perfect dinner for our last night in Maui!

My husband and I have traveled a lot together combining work trips with sightseeing, but this was our first week long vacation to truly relax in a long time. It was an absolutely perfect week, from the room to the service to the food. The atmosphere was relaxed and sophisticated but not snobby. We loved the club lounge, spending a lot of our days there reading a book and meeting other couples. The staff was phenomenal and you can tell they truly take pride in their jobs. Thank you so much, I can only hope we get a chance to spend time there again!

A Place of Aloha and Excellence – Our Home Away from Home The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua is truly exceptional. My wife and I have had the pleasure of staying here multiple times, and we were so impressed by the level of service and beauty of the resort that we decided to host our wedding party here. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Every visit reminds us why we continue to return. The staff embodies the spirit of aloha — warm, gracious, and genuinely committed to making each guest’s experience extraordinary. The property itself is breathtaking, surrounded by lush landscapes and overlooking the most beautiful coastline in Maui. From world-class dining and thoughtful amenities to the peaceful, rejuvenating atmosphere, every aspect of the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua reflects excellence. It is a place that blends luxury with heart, and it will always be one of our favorite destinations in the world.

Not the Luxury Experience You’d Expect... If you're seeking comfort, attentive service, and true luxury, the Ritz Maui may not meet your expectations. While the location is beautiful, the beach in front of the resort is far from the best on the island. Oddly, at exactly 3:50 PM, guests are asked to return their chairs and either leave the beach or sit directly on the sand—something we’ve never experienced at a supposed five-star resort. The pools have potential, but the atmosphere is disrupted by staff unpacking outdoor furniture in the middle of the day. Rooms are smaller compared to other hotels we’ve stayed at, and ours had an unpleasant odor. The biggest letdown, however, was the service. We were celebrating our 20th anniversary, and unlike every other hotel we've visited—including more affordable ones—there was no special welcome or acknowledgment. A small gesture can go a long way in making guests feel valued, and sadly, that was completely missing here. As for the bar, cocktails are overpriced and underwhelming—not worth it. We had just come from the Four Seasons, where the experience was leagues better in every aspect. Overall, this stay was a real disappointment. We expected so much more from a Ritz-Carlton !!...

The property itself is beautiful — lush, well-maintained, and definitely feels like a premium resort. However, I wouldn’t quite call it “Ritz standard.” The staff were friendly but not as well-trained or polished as what we experienced at the Four Seasons. Service overall was good, but not exceptional. Now, the food… this is where things really fall short. With the exception of the lobby restaurant — which serves a fantastic burger and a delicious Caesar salad — the rest was disappointing. The poolside menu was underwhelming, the beach restaurant was just okay, and the buffet was mediocre at best. Unfortunately, the pricing is very much Ritz-level, but the quality isn’t even close. If you’re staying here, skip most of the on-property dining and head to the small convenience store right by the entrance — surprisingly, their breakfast and sandwiches are much better. Overall, I’m still giving it 4 stars because the property and amenities are gorgeous. But the culinary team needs a serious overhaul, and the service could use some sharpening to live up to the Ritz name.

A once in a lifetime experience here at the Maui Ritz. This was my first Ritz Carlton experience and I was blown away by everything this hotel offers. The location is amazing, a five minute walk from hotel rooms to beach. Beautiful grounds that are well maintained, lots of green acres to walk and explore. Tennis courts, basketball court, pickle ball courts, all available between the beach and hotel for guests to use. The hotel pool is huge with three different areas to swim in, but why use the pool when the beach is incredible and just a short walk away. Guests have access to beach chairs and umbrellas during the daytime. The waves here can be calm or aggressive depending on the weather. Sand is warm and soft, water is clean and cool. The hotel is large with many rooms options with nice ocean view balconies. The hotel offers a nice gym to use as well. Spa and massage options are available. We opted for the extra club lounge for food at $300 a day extra. The hotel is somewhat far away from food options on the island so having the club lounge available for breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks was nice. Dinner is available at their main restaurant and has plenty of options on the menu. I had their smash burger twice and it’s one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. If you’re on Maui and can afford $1000+ a night for a hotel, look no other place than this Ritz hotel for your stay.

Everything about this place is perfect! It lives up to the name and definitely worth the visit. The golf course was under maintenance so we couldn’t find a way to play but the overall resort experience is very good. The only reason I have 4 on location is because it’s far away from everything else, if you’re trying to see the whole island probably not the best place to stay however if you’re here for just a good relaxing time, don’t think twice and book this gem of a place.

We enjoyed our recent stay at The Ritz Maui, especially the beautiful views and incredibly friendly staff. However, a few things fell short of what we expect from a Ritz property. There were a lot of bugs around the pool area, some mold in our shower, and a wasp nest on our balcony. The gym and resort activities were decent but not exceptional. Overall, it was a good stay — just not quite the level of excellence we anticipated given the brand and price. It is also an hour from the airport.

Visited recently and am suprised with the low reviews. My husband and I like to dine here when we visit Maui— its a solid spot for italian food and wine. Perhaps after covid/fires they had a mishap with service. They certainly are trying to remedy, maybe even a bit extra hah. Regardless, the food is good, atmosphere cute, easy parking. I recommend eating here.

This place is amazing. Maurizio is a master of italian cuisine. True Italian food with true Italian love and service right here in Maui.

Best meal we had our entire honeymoon week in Maui. Sooo delicious. I got the Alfredo and mixed his homemade marinara into it- truly one of the best meals I've ever had. He's also a very sweet man, catered to us directly and educated us about the food. Thoroughly impressed and planning to come back here on our next trip in 2027! Thanks for a great night! 😊

We came to The Pour House for dinner one night during our honeymoon. They don’t have a liquor license, but you can bring your own from the nearby liquor store with no corkage fee—which was a big plus since we didn’t have to pay the usual high drink prices on the island. The owner offered us a plate of burrata, and while it was delicious, we thought it was just a little sample. Instead, it ended up being a full appetizer—and he chose the most expensive burrata option on the menu—which we were charged for. That part felt a bit forced and left us uncomfortable. For mains, we ordered the short rib bolognese and the short rib lasagna, and both were excellent—rich, flavorful, and definitely worth it. Overall, the food was fantastic and the owner was friendly, but the way the burrata was handled was disappointing.

We came for dinner and the food was somewhat edible to say the least. The service was exceptional with friendly staff that were very attentive. Ordered chopped antipasto salad and all the meats, cheeses, and other ingredients were chopped so fine except for the greens that I used a spoon to eat it. The salad certainly was missing ingredients or were so finely minced that I didn't taste them...salad was warm too. The entrees we ordered describes all the fine wholesome ingredients used in these dishes but they are lacking. The chicken ravioli dish consisted of six Costco brand frozen raviolis and the filling inside was a creamy glob of chicken. The meatballs are what you get at Costco were not homemade. The red sauce that smothers the pasta is acidic and bitter . The menu reads well and makes your mouth water but the food is Poor quality made with Poor ingredients.

Host greeted us with "our kitchen closes in 30 minutes"....Great start to the first impression. It was 7:30, but restaurant closes at 9 online, and posted at the store. They "just got their liquor license renewed" aka they lost it previously due to someone being under aged...assuming. Asked for a wine list, but they don't have one....a wine bar with no wine list? Server rattled off a few cheap wines theyp have by the glass instead. Great. Besides the rush job service, bad host, the food is excellent!!! Prices are more expensive than the Ritz. It was $34 for Pasta carbonara, protein cost extra...and it was a laughable small portion of pasta. Are we really trying to save food cost on pasta? Most restaurants don't skimp on pasta portions because it's cheap. Jokes asides, my 5-7 bites of pasta carbonara was really good, but the food quality is about the only thing this restaurant has going for them.

we came in at 5:45 and the place was about 1/3 full. it took us a while to seat as I only saw one server and the manager? we sat and i saw several other tables with menus but no cocktails so I assumed we would have to wait. which we did it did take a while for someone to come over to our table and we found out it was the manager/ owner , not sure. he was very nice and took our order. we heard him talking at another table and said he was from puglia. we talked a bit about Italy as we are moving there. once we got our order in the it sped up a little. I wasn’t sure at first but it’s nice to relax and not be rushed the food the Antipasto salad was amazing chopped salami artichokes olives lettuce tomatoes and an excellent dressing. entrees brown butter cacio e pepe and the toasted tortellini both were great. desert Paia homemade gelato hazelnut was excellent. You will wait here but it was totally worth it.
