Outstanding dining experience. From the tablecloth clad tables, to the freshest ingredients expertly prepared, this place is a real gem. The lamb shank was so tender and flavorful, it literally fell off the bone. The potatoes and carrots were so fresh, they could have been harvested today. The lobster ravioli was so decadent and filling, neither of us (sadly) had room for dessert. Five-star dinner at a very reasonable price.

My family and I went there this past weekend, the food was awesome. The atmosphere was great. Everything we ordered tasted really fresh and made from scratch. I loved the pumpkin curry soup. The escargot was awesome! We devoured the mushrooms. We had chicken pasta, the sauce was rich but didn't make you feel heavy after. The star of the night though was the roasted lamb shank. The meat fell off the bone, we didn't need to use our knives although they provided us with it. The cheesecake for dessert was homemade and sooooo good! We didn't get pictures of the other stuff because we were too busy eating it. Lol!

Usually when people here in Hawaii speak of chicken papaya they're talking about the soup. I was happy to find a half papaya filled with chicken salad! Was very good! And it came with a piece of very yummy bread pudding! My companions all enjoyed their various lunches and we will definitely return to try other menu options! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The atmosphere inside this downtown Hilo restaurant is amazing! Modern and comforting. The food is so flavorful. I had the curry chicken sandwich, which was so tasty but not spicy hot. My wife had the chicken spinach pasta, and I wanted to eat her food too because of all the flavors. My friend had the lamb, and it was huge.

I don't normally give places 5 stars, but this is a wonderful place. Ambiance, decor, and staff are professional. I had the lamb shanck, tender to the touch, and flavorful. The Brussel sprouts and carrots were cooked to perfect and seasoned well. Take a nice lunch break or dinner, remember no alcohol served here. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food here is great. I have had both pasta and the shrimp creole as well as the fondue. The creole could stand to be a bit spicier, but that is a personal thing. It was very flavorful though. I was considering the loss of a star as a result of short staffing. Although we were told of the delay, we didn't expect to wait an hour after ordering. Nevertheless, The food did outweigh the very delayed service. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Shrimp Creole

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Food and service were both excellent. Homemade ginger ice cream was a special treat. Bonus… it was very nice sitting at a table with table linen. Will definitely be back soon :) Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
