    So beautiful listening to the ocean while watching a glorious sunset. Love the outdoor ambiance! Food is exceptional. Can’t go wrong with the kampachi or the fresh catch of the day. Fresh lobster is always a great option with its nice miso lobster 🦞 sauce. Started with the salmon skin radish salad is a must!!

    We were looking forward to going to the Canoe House and it didn't disappoint. The setting is spectacular and the food, service, etc., was excellent. We had ahi poke and tempura fried string beans for appetizers, scallops and lobster for dinner and finished with chocolate mousse. A great evening!

    Scallops were gritty with sand and drenched in a sauce that was just too much and overpowered the dish. Small serving and everything is extra so it’s very expensive. The ambiance is great. My friends lamb was a very large serving but my dish was more like an appituzer. For $72 maybe they could bring some bread.

    The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxed we sat outside with a view of the ocean before sunset As we were dining the sunset with all of its glory set over the ocean! We ordered tempura green beans to share which were a highlight and a wonderful start For our next course we shared Kona Lobster tempura presented beautifully and Hawaii grass fed beef and foie gras gyoza that were equally fabulous! For our entrees seated large scallops with foie gras and mushrooms and filet tenderloin of beef - all prepared perfectly! Our waiter Ian was extraordinary and so friendly and helpful! We love it here and are never disappointed!

    The service was world class. Our server was superb. Unfortunately the main courses fell short in taste and value. The side dishes as well as starters were world class. Wish we could rate it more.
