formaggio grill

thanksgiving!! the 1st course had me following traditional thanksgiving dinner involving turkey, mash potato and some delicious cranberry sauce. the 2nd course was new to me but i am now a massive fan of pumpkin pie. i must say the staff are brilliant here, perhaps the bestservicei had on my whole trip. will always remember my american thanksgiving experience.

this place was delicious! theservicewas perfect. our steaks were cooked perfectly and tasted spot on. the prices are spendy for the amount of food, but my husband and i were both very happy with our experience.

mixed feelings. i really want to like this place, since i seem to fall in love with atmosphere! it's very expensive!serviceis not so great. some of the dishes are good, some not so good! they closed their doors one night (i heard due to the staff walking out) but didn't bother to call folks who had a reservation! hello!!! you had their phone numbers!
baci bistro is around the corner with consistent delicious-ness. now that's italian!

everyone was nice and it had a great atmosphere but theservicewas horrible. we waited a very long time before the host had to come by and take our order. we rarely saw our server and when we did she didn't really say anything. the food took well over 20 minutes and was overpriced for the quality.

excelentservicegood food they over did my burger, and replaced it with no problem, and gave us a free tarimisu for our troubles, the food was filling and up to my high standards, awsome.

great place. the food is not mainstream and i love it. however it may cause some mixed feelings if you're not willing to go outside of your norm. for example, the greek salad is a traditional greek salad as opposed to the american greek inspired salad which has lettuce and greek salad ingredients on it.
the meat is either choice or prime grade and 30 day wet aged which costs a little more as opposed to select and no age.
the wines by the glass are on a cruvinet system which allows us to buy 2oz of 50 different wines as opposed to the norm of 5 red and 5 whites which spoil each day.
i think all of these things are great about this place and the food andserviceis excellent.
but, it's not for everyone, some are just looking for a mainstream place and that's cool too.
so if you're looking for a different experience then give it a shot. if you're in to wine as for patrick, he's one of 200 certified wine educators in the world and one of 400 advanced sommeliers in the world.

good steaks bad service. the steaks and prime rib are top notch but theserviceis horrendous. our waitress had a very " i dont need this attitude".

i'm torn. the lobster bisque was incredible. sooo much lobster and creamy and thick and sweet and just amazing. but then we got the mediterranean salad and it was basically sliced raw bell peppers.....i'm confused. the truffle fries were delicious! but theserviceis always terrible....i've been here a handful of times, and it's always consistently inconsistent. i think they have a lot of potential but maybe they need some sort of a management reform? i don't know. i think they could definitely do really well, but right now they seem kind of awkward in their location and don't quite know how to relate/appeal to their clientele. hit and miss.

great place. great atmosphere. high ceilings, lively place. food andserviceexcellent. top pick in my home town of kailua.

excellent food, great menu, andservicethat went above and beyond. we went to the restaurant with a 10 month old in tow only to find out they didn't have high chairs. we were undeterred and decided to keep our son on our laps. when our food was brought out, a staff member asked if he could hold our son so we could enjoy the food while it was still hot. of course, we took him up on his offer and enjoyed a warm meal while our son was entertained by a great staffer. i am sure we couldn't have had this experience on a peak fri/sat, but we were impressed none the less. we will absolutely return!

horridserviceruins what could have been a top notch restaurant. don't come thirsty, we waited over 40 minutes to just get water - and it was a slow day. both times we went, they brought out one persons entrée way before the other's was ready. if you wait your food is cold. the staff just ruins the place.
