What a happy place! Service is fast and courteous. Music is nice and fits the island theme.
First time here, so I tried their specialties: chiffon-papaya pancakes and eggs Benedict.
Coffee is good, solid coffee. Menu claims 50% Hawaiian blend, but doesnt describe the other half. 50% mystery coffee. Folgiers? Maxwell house? Starbucks?
Pancakes are exceptional. Fluffy and lightly sweet even without the syrups or sauces. Unfortunately, the chiffon-papaya sauce was so sweet I could feel a cavity forming from just one bite. I recommend ordering the sauce on the side and separate the papaya from the chiffon. The papaya sauce was fruity and delicious. I wish it had just that sauce.
Benedict: "Award winning hollandaise sauce"? Who hold this contest? I've heard of beer tastings, but I can't wrap my head around a room full of people drinking cup after cup of hollandaise sauce. Maybe a new bar theme? But I digress...
The lox Benedict was very good. The sauce was thick and tasted good to me. But I'm untrained and can't be trusted to judge. I'd get it again.
Overall, a nice Hawaiian breakfast joint. Servings are huge, and the calorie count is off-the-charts. Enjoy!
