Fodor's Review:

This is where locals go on their day off. Chef-owners Michael and Dana Pastula are known to dish up fabulously fresh tastes at affordable prices. Huge portions at lunch and dinner include Manoa lettuce wraps filled with chicken, mushrooms, and water chestnuts; crab cakes; and quinoa salads packed with local eggplant and creamy goat cheese. Order sushi from the bar in back or baked clams and giant tiger prawns from the brick oven. Other popular items are fresh fish, macadamia-nut chicken breast, and Asian short ribs. Gauze curtains separate tables nicely set with white linens and bright tableware, and the spacious octagonal bar is great for sharing pupu and sipping cocktails. The Pastulas also have Café O'Lei restaurants in Kahului and Wailuku.
