I actually preferred the grilled octopus which was amazingly tender and beautifully prepared.” - Sarah S. Yelp Review

“Upon arrival, greeted by friendly host. We were seated next to the window facing Diamond-head. The view is really nice. The restaurant's specialty in fish, the waiter told us the restaurant bring in fish from all over the world…we also order fresh oyster and grill octopus, soup of the day. The oyster is super fresh and sweet, the octopus dish is pretty big, almost like an entrée size. The rack of lamb has four bones, I little less than some other restaurant that serves six pieces. Overall the service is great, the ambient is nice.” - Tin Lung C., Yelp Review
