My honey had the Benedict with ahi tuna and served with wasabi Hollandaise. Never even got a bite lol so Im sure it was fabulous! I had the avocado toast what a fresh, delicious meal! All other avocado toast will now be judged based on this guy! The eggs were dark yellow like healthy, happy chickens lay!! They were the saucy amazing topper on my toast. So so good. The petite rainbow tomatoes were so flavorful reminded me of all tomatoes from my childhood! And the star was the avocado! So perfectly ripe and flavorful!!! Also got a side of fruit do get fruit everywhere you go here on Maui seriously, eat the produce here, its magical!! ”
“ A wonderfully relaxing brunch spot with great seating on a deck overlooking the ocean! The food was stellar, though a tad pricey. I highly recommend the seared tuna and ube bread. The servers were very friendly and great to talk to but it did take us a little bit to order despite us arriving right at opening. However, this is definitely a spot I would return to because the food is that good! ”
