Excellent food, amazing and attentive waiter. Unfortunately we were asked to leave after being there for 2 hours (business meeting). Although the ask was polite, it was unexpected.

Ally was a phenomenal server! We got there right when they opened, literally had the whole restaurant to ourselves on a Sunday morning. The mochi waffles were delicious and perfect for sharing. My boyfriend had the short rib loco moco and I had the mushroom risotto. Perfect portion sizes ( we still had left overs but purposefully chose to eat light). The peach Italian cream soda was to die for! And they were able to make a matcha latte with oat milk - Ally recommended adding vanilla for sweetness and I agree :)

Took my 25 yr old son there for the first time. We had the pesto pizza, clam chowder, lobster roll and breakfast bowl. He said that was the best food hes eaten in Hawaii THIS YEAR! Everything was delicious, clean and our server was the best. We left her a 40% tip because she was so good.

Every dish was onolicious! et al. does a twist on most dishes which makes the dish all the more savory and tasty! Our server was attentive and accommodating. Definitely recommend this place, but be aware that et al. had time limits so do not go if you to have really long catch-up conversations.

We came on this day to support et al who was donating the whole day's receipts to Maui! What a win-win. We spent way more than planned but it was for an amazing cause and who doesn't want to help Maui and also eat/drink great food? Mahalo to et al!

We were in the mood for some tasty but "clean" eating. We certainly got this at Et Al. We shared the fish and the beets to start. Both were fresh and delicious. Tiana (sp?) was our server and she was lovely and attentive to our needs. My only "criticism" would be that the cocktail that I ordered, took what seemed like a long time to get. But it was also a delicious craft mai tai.

et al is such a great place for a quiet gathering with a friend. Servers, ambiance, noise level are always terrific. The small Pau Hana menu is perfect for a cocktail and "snacks". Our sliders and chicken could be just a tad hotter so it'll feel like it was served fresh from the kitchen rather than a re-heated taste. Still, et al, is one of my "go to" places with friends!

Go to et al often. Wonderful for quiet, friendly conversation and good, reliable food. Months back, et al switched from a breakfast menu to a "brunch" menu, even for early breakfasts. The food is good and interesting, but there really needs to be more selection/variety and more "breakfast-type" dishes.

Very disappointing. I have been here many times. Love the burger and fries. The burgers have gone downhill. This time the burger was even worse. Too thin and not medium rare. My companion ordered a medium rare ribeye and it came well done. Asked for another steak. It was at least pink but it was medium. Not medium rare. I am a chef. He eats almost only beef. We both know our meat. I will not be going back. The fries were awesome though.

My first time there. We went for brunch on a Sunday. The ambiance was nice and the service by Josh, our waiter, was great. I had the Soft Shell Crab Benedict. It was just the right amount of food for me and it was delicious! I would recommend this place. Parking was a breeze at 9:00am and it was free!

Great spot for happy hour! I’ve only had take-out breakfast from et al. before, so this was my first time in the restaurant. The service and cocktails were great! The salad was good - loved the chicken add on. I’d love to see more gluten free options on the menu.

Lovely restaurant, went there while on holiday for dinner and lunch. Not much ambience at night, harsh bright lighting and Aircon was freezing. Lunch experience was much better and food reasonably valued and good.
