The island poke bowls were beautifully presented and also delicious, as well as the dragon bowls. The whole family loved our meal here. We definitely want to go back again!

However, Noel was my main bartender/server, and he simply was awesome. Everything was straightforward, he did a wonderful job quickly filling my orders, removing any empties, and telling stories - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) I had no vehicle, so I simply walked from my room. However, there was a nightly $40.00 fee for guests if they parked on the property, and there might've been some free parking along the many nearby roads and streets. Make sure to carefully read any posted signs. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean modern spacious layout with plenty of dining tables that offered awesome views of the ocean, while the central rotund bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=yLPvmJMAy-YvONhej6PxaA was where I found myself. Plenty of natural lighting everywhere while numerous electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several muted TVs all around the bar area while a wedding musician played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=EVqFna4AX9T2fX-ik3qTVw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL From start to finish, everything was superb at RumFire Poipu Beach and would definitely return. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $154.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). I used a different credit card for points purposes, but they accepted mine of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

After deciding to return it, we told the waiter (Greg) and he looked perplexed as-to what he should do. We finally got a different cut of steak, which was brought by a different waiter who sarcastically said "hope this is to your liking". Separately, there was a screaming toddler across from us, who (another) waiter didn't do anything about. Really? We finally asked to be moved, and had to bring our plate of food with us, with no offer to assist (which must have looked odd to the other patrons). This was the most expensive dinner we've ever had, and it was so very disappointing. Try to do better, Rumfire. We leave good ratings when due, however not this time! BTW, we ate here on 5/7/26, Table 45/1, Check 1892. The ambience overlooking the ocean was nice, though.

It looks like there are still under 20 reviews at this writing so...I fully expect there to be 1-2 hour waits to get into this place shortly, once it's more discovered. It's that good.
