| About: | Do not let the name fool you, this is no simple cafe. It is one of the most highly rewarded, oft-mentioned restaurants on the island of Hawai'i. Serving a unique fusion of Pacific Basin and Continental cuisines, this place is perfect for a memorable occasion. The decor is simple. The food, on the other hand, is marvelously complex. Signature items include the Wok-Fired Shrimp and Scallops, Chili Grilled Shrimp Pizza and the Island Seafood Risotto. There is another location on the West Side, Kohala Coast. |

I was recently diagnosed with a gluten allergy. The waitress took the time to double check my order with the chef and made some alternate recommendations to accommodate my allergy. The food was fresh, well prepared and delicious! The wait-staff where attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food in Hilo! Mahalo!
Awesome food and really friendly waiters. I can't wait to go back!
We went there twice on our vacation. The food was absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to go backl!!!
