Honestly, I could come here just for the popovers (their complimentary freshly-baked light, airy bread served with strawberry butter). Also complimentary is a cup of consommé (clear broth). By the time I'm done with the popovers and broth, I could care less about what I order as an entree. However, everything I've had here is delicious.

It gets really crowded during lunch, so either make reservations or be prepared to wait. Trust me, the food and view of Ala Moana Beach Park are worth it. Service could use some work, but I suppose they're doing their best considering the crowd. Also, if you want popovers, make sure to come during lunch or dinner. I once made the mistake of coming right between lunch & dinner and was horrified to discover that they don't serve popovers then!
