"We went for the early bird 3 course fixed price dinner special for $20pp. The dinner is under new management and the service is outstanding. We ordered the sweet potato croquette, cinnamon tamarind pork ribs, orange thai curry and the flourless chocolate torte. The sweet potato croquette was very good, the pork ribs and orange thai curry was good and the chocolate torte was good as well but standard. For $20, this is very good value and the food is pretty good."

"Casual feel, but good service and interesting menu.
Locally sourced food including vegetables and seafood.
A Paia institution.
Coffee shop with great pastries by day, gourmet restaurant by night."

"We went on Valentine's Day for dinner. It was 22 minutes before a server stopped by to bring water. 25 minutes later our real server took our drink order. Took another 20 minutes to get our first drink. That's ONE HOUR just to get our first drink. Our server was clueless and acted as nothing was wrong or unusual. A simple meal with 1 drink took over two hours. Wasn't just our table. Same problem with other servers and tables around us. Place was busy but not packed or overfull. Recently under new management and it would appear the new management doesn't have a clue about customer service or how to run a room or kitchen. We live in Haiku and will NOT be going back anytime soon."
