Here's my feedback on my recent dining experience at a restaurant on base that offers stunning views of the ocean and airplane takeoffs.
Firstly, I must say that the ambiance and scenery at the restaurant were truly remarkable. The combination of beautiful ocean views and the sight of airplanes taking off created a unique and memorable dining atmosphere.
However, I regret to inform you that I was somewhat disappointed with the quality of the food and the pricing. While the presentation and taste of the salad with fish were satisfactory, I felt that the coconut shrimp dish fell short of expectations. Specifically, the portion size of the coconut shrimp, consisting of only five pieces, did not justify its price. Moreover, I was underwhelmed by the flavor and overall value of the dish.
In terms of pricing, I found the overall menu to be slightly overpriced, especially considering the average quality of the food. It would be beneficial if the restaurant reviewed its pricing strategy to align with the culinary experience they aim to provide to their customers.
Despite these areas of improvement, I would like to acknowledge the attentive service provided by the restaurant staff. The waitstaff were courteous, accommodating, and ensured a pleasant dining experience.
In conclusion, while the views from the restaurant were undoubtedly impressive, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of the food quality and pricing. I hope that my feedback can be taken into consideration to enhance the overall dining experience for future customers.

Great place for a meal if you've been on the beach and want to catch a meal!
Love being able to sit outside and enjoy the sunset.
Service could have been better. We didn't get refills on drinks and it took a while for the food and check to come. But the staff was friendly and the food tasted good.

This is nice little bar/ snack bar by the beach. The menu wasn't too impressive but the server did mention they are adding more menu items and told is of items available not on the menu. I went for the the teriyaki burger which was pretty good. Outside of the food the atmosphere and scenery were amazing. The service was also really good. Definitely recommend giving this place a visit.

Service was very slow and both orders came with the wrong side. They rectified it, but the sides that came were cold. The sandwich pictured was lukewarm and flavorless, the meat was very fatty and unseasoned, and the jus was essentially chicken broth. The only positive were the fries- delicious.

Nice ocean breeze and comfortable atmosphere. Staff was super friendly and met with expectations. Blackened Mahi sandwich. well fish was proper prepared but lacked true southern blackening. But still flavorful and piece of fish was good sized. The bread was very tasty but oversized for the fish sandwich. A burger would have been perfect for the vessel. The calamari starter was very tasty and the garlic dipping sauce was plenty tasty.
Beers were cold and nice selection. Did have someone order the Pumpkin Spiced Pina Colada. Ice could have been better blended but not a bad option. Worth a visit and view during the day is nice.

Great place with a fantastic view of both the water and planes taking off and landing.
The prices aren’t bad, particularly for Hawaii but they aren’t a bargain either.
The few times I’ve been here over the past couple of years, it seems to be short staffed which obviously affects service even though the bartender/waitress/server/etc. was doing an incredible job all by herself.

Can't beat the service, food, prices, and location! Perfect having this right at the beach for a cold beer or quick bite after laying out all day. Food came out super quick. Burgers and nachos were great. Nice selection of beer also.

DO NOT go here for food until renovation is done after April 2024. There's no kitchen so they grillin burgers out front and they didn't taste good for $18 served on paper plates. Happy hour cocktails had little to no alcohol. Just stick with beers.
View is beautiful.

Waited over 25 minutes for the kids drinks to be brought out. Bar drinks soon 30-35min. Meals took over 45min and people that arrived after we ordered were served first. It was quicker to go to the bar and order drinks for ourselves. After one hour one of three kids meals was not delivered. Service is beyond terrible. Server recommended that we go to a vending machine located nearby for soft drinks. The Italian sub is more of a gas station sandwich and not worth the price. Will not return. Would not recommend to anyone.

Minus one star for the food, it’s okay not anything wow about it.
But the views are amazing here. A great place to come have drinks or quick lunch and watch planes take off.
Updated review for a second visit 4 months later: the food this time around was much better. Even though our appetizers came out after our meals, the server was great and was very attentive to our needs.
