We made dinner reservations through Open Table and were seated immediately when we arrived. Everyone was very friendly and happy to be there. That positive attitude goes far and really makes the dining experience a more pleasant one. I ordered the lamb chops and split them. I'm glad we did because it was such a generous portion. For $8 more they will give you the same amount of sides per split plate. It was a good idea and then we had room for the pineapple upside down cake, which was a nice way to end our meal. Our guest had the noodles and they had a wonderful flavor and were cooked perfectly. The menu had several great options and specials for each night. The dinner at HGS was the perfect place to enjoy a nice meal out. We were visiting with family and we felt as though we were at our own kitchen table. We were well cared for and not rushed at all. I hope you enjoy your time here!

However I don't really understand why this spot is so popular and is so historical. I thought the food was very mediocre and we tried many things on the menu. We also thought that the drinks were too sweet. We tried a bunch of things on the menu too. I think you can get better tasting food at other spots like Monkey Pod and Mama's Fish House at a similar price point. that said the service was good and it was a nice ambiance sort of like a rustic Hawaiian vibe.

Service - the server was training a new worker, which was fine, but the trainer kept asking us if we were ready for our check, which we weren't, as we were still ordering food. At the time, we were the only people there. They were also very casually dressed. Too casually in our opinion. Food - Amazing! The best sushi we've had in quite a while. The size of the fish in the maki rolls were maybe the largest I've ever seen. The salmon is from New Zealand and Unagi and Scallops from Japan. Top quality! The Jyuwari Soba noodles were excellent and made only of buckwheat, no wheat. They make their soba fresh every day. It really makes a difference. One of the best sobas I've ever had. Although the dish could have used more mentaiko, I could barely taste it once the sauce was added. The prices were very reasonable compared to other restaurants. We met one of the owners and sushi chef Marlene McLellan, who runs the restaurant with her father Shane. Her mother is Japanese. The family hails from New Jersey.

At Satori, the farm‑to‑table, veg‑forward idea means lots of rough greens, nuts, and fruit mixed into poke and handrolls that look like local favorites but taste nothing like the classics we grew up loving. We had poke bowls, a spicy handroll, and ramen, and even though we showed up genuinely hungry, my family could barely finish their food. And honestly, the food was only half the problem. The outdoor seating felt less like a laid‑back Maui spot and more like a neglected picnic table next to uncovered trash cans, with ants and other insects on the table and a swarm of flies so aggressive it was hard to relax or enjoy the meal at all. I really don't like leaving bad reviews, but in this case it feels deserved. Sorry, but we won't be coming back.
