I haven't done many restaurant reviews because we very rarely go out to eat but this is what I thought of this experience.
First off: I looked on the web and found what they call the Prix Fixe Menu. It listed the price as $35.00 a person but when we got there we found that it was really $39.00.
You could get a preset appetizer selection (sparerib, blackened ahi, crispy vegetable spring roll) and choices for entree (Macadamia crusted white fish, grilled salmon or beef short ribs) and dessert (Macadamia torte or Roy's Melting Hot Chocolate Souffle with raspberry coulis and vanilla ice cream). Mom and Keiko chose the white fish. Sam and I had the salmon and Art had the beef.
The salmon and beef were very tender and tasty but got cold quickly with the air conditioning. Can't help that because it was really hot and humid outside. The white fish was incredibly dry! Keiko said it was still quite tasty and she was enjoying it. I think she was just being kind and polite because she only ate half of it. I mentioned it to our server and he took my mother's plate back to the kitchen where they added more sauce to it. They also quickly redid the plate adding more asparagus and potatoes. They really tried to make the customer happy. After that my mom ate all of hers but I know she wasn't impressed.
Despite the disappointing white fish, nothing could diminish the great time we had with our friends who we had fun chatting with because our servers were always cheerful and helpful and the ambiance of the place was quite lovely.
Now then, that said.... and let's completely forget the fact that I'm pre-diabetic. Roy's Melting Hot Chocolate Souffle with raspberry coulis and vanilla ice cream was a huge hit with everyone. It was sinful but we loved every teeny weeny single bite.
Would we go there again? I guess nobody has to worry since we rarely eat at fancy places but I have to say I'd try someplace else first. There are too many other interesting restaurants to try on the island. And the BEST place to eat on the island?... Mom's Kitchen (my mom, that is).
