This trendy boho chic cafe and restaurant by the water was a lovely spot for a lunch date. I really enjoyed the carne asada fries and chicken tacos. The blue colada was also delicious and the margaritas were small but strong. The service was great and the view fantastic. My friends and I had so much fun taking pictures on the swings and with the white cave. I definitely recommend if you like a tasty lunch with pretty ambience. The food and drinks were reasonably priced and there was a good variety. I found a cheap paid parking place really close by and it only cost 200 yen for our whole stay. (Remember you pay before for parking you leave, not when you arrive.)

I’ve wanted to try here and then a friend posted a raving review which pushed it to the top of my list. Came for lunch and was surprised it wasn’t crowded. Ample opportunities for cute pictures. The margarita was probably the best I’ve ever had. It was blended so finely it was almost a slushy, and had little pieces of pineapple in the bottom. The person working was very friendly and the burrito I chose was delicious and filling. There’s a cute whale shark mural right next to the building that this is in. The paid parking lot close by was also free for 2 hours which was a pleasant surprise. They do have a small parking garage in the back of this building but I was told it’s pretty tight.

Great chill atmosphere , like a beach Cabana. Food was ok, waffles (they had waffles on the day instead of pancakes) weren't too sweet but the coconut milk was super (too) sweet.

I’ve been here a handful of times in the last three months. They have recently remodeled and changed up the menu. Absolutely excellent food, particularly their steak bowl, which comes with perfect portions of tender steak, veggies and rice. The other items on the menu are quality as well, the cocktails are solid (and not overly dramatic), and we tried a bottle of wine that was top class while well-priced. They have a good selection of salads, bowls(ahi/chicken/steak), birria tacos and pasta. It’s a small kitchen, so I wouldn’t bring 20 people in at once necessarily, but the food is generally quick and prepared with care. Perfect for solo travelers, couples and families on a night out. It is also well located with a view of the harbor and is not prone to being noisy like most of AV.

While in Okinawa we found this fancy cafe in the best location in American Village. We came late in the evening and had a couple of non-alcoholic drinks. The prices were standard for such a touristy location. However, the view and atmosphere were amazing. This is definitively a place to chill out late in the afternoon and enjoy the view. We did not try the food so i can't comment on that. I will come by again and enjoy the atmosphere on my next trip to Okinawa.

Such a cute place! The food was amazing and I’ll talk about that in just a minute but what I loved the most about this restaurant was the VIBE it gave modern boho with lots of natural woods and neutral colors. Super elegant! It just makes the dining experience better in my opinion. They have a photo area with a cute Peacock chair that my daughter absolutely loved. The staff was polite, attentive and fast. This is what I ordered: •Carne Asada Fries 10/10 The fires were crunchy, never soggy. The carne asada was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. It came with guacamole and sour cream which was DEVINE! Not sure if the sour cream is made in house but I absolutely loved it. It was rich and creamy! I loved that they used nacho cheese. It really made the plate come together. Cilantro and lime were the perfect garnish. • Green Fruit Bowl 9/10 Made fresh with quality fruit. It was crunchy from the granola, coconut flakes and frozen blueberries. Delicious combo! It came in a coconut bowl which I thought was super cute. The portion size was perfect. • Tropical Non Alcoholic cocktails 8/10 I don’t remember the names of the drinks I ordered but they were tasty and so refreshing! The presentation was my favorite! They have a verity of elixirs and alcoholic beverages. Overall I truly enjoyed this restaurant. The cleanliness was top notch. The location is beautiful, you have an ocean view. Seating options for indoor and outdoor dining. Parking is limited in the back of the building but there are a few paid parking lots in the area you can use. I can’t wait to go back and try something else on their Tex Mex Menu.
