We never knew that this breakfast place was here, and can't believe what we have been missing out on! Everything was delicious and beautifully presented! Each element of every one of our plates was perfectly executed, and packed full of flavor. I have no notes. Not to mention the price point is very affordable, even more so than some places located back home.
We ordered the breakfast burrito, rainbow pancakes, and smoked salmon eggs Benedict. The burrito was a very generous size, and easily split between two people. We opted for the bacon, and it was very well made. One of the people in our party doesn't normally like bacon in their burritos, but this one was an easy exception.
The rainbow pancakes were absolutely beautifully presented, with a mound of fresh (not overly sweet) whipped cream. They absolutely load on fresh fruit onto the plate, and every bite of fruit was sweet and ripe. Not to mention the pancakes themselves also had a great taste by themselves. All too often pancakes taste so plain and rely on toppings for their flavor, but this was certainly not the case here.
Finally the smoked salmon eggs Benedict, which was loaded with salmon and had the perfect amount of sauce. The yolks of the eggs were runny, and the salty capers perfectly balanced out the salmon flavor. The bread it was sitting on was soft, and was great at absorbing any excess sauce and yolks. Super delicious!
We joined the waitlist and arrived at the restaurant around 7:45, which was definitely the right move. Even early in the morning there can be a bit of a wait as this place is (rightfully so) extremely popular. When we arrived, we were seated quickly and our server was very friendly.
The restaurant itself is small, but it gives it a very local feel, plus the background Hawaiian themed music provides a bright and inviting atmosphere.
Overall, this restaurant is amazing! Great price point for such large portions, amazing atmosphere, beautiful food, and even better taste. I highly recommend coming here. You will not be disappointed with either food or service! They also offer takeout options if you want to bring back food to your family at the Aulani next door.
