The best steak or prime rib in the states even though it comes from the mainland. Best place to stop for dinner after touring Waimea Canyon. It is in Waimea at bottom of the canyon. Sit outside on the porch if you can and enjoy the breeze while you enjoy your dinner. Then relax on your drive back to Princeville.
