A Note About Our Cuisine...

 

We call our cuisine "Fresh Island Style," since, like the people of our Island, we combine the foods of East and West, and create a unique new blend of these flavors.  We make every effort to bring you the freshest foods available by supporting local farmers and families as they bring us their fresh fish, fruits and vegetables each day.  We grow flowers and herbs in our own organic garden overlooking the sea.  As we celebrate our tenth year, we say "Mahalo" to you all and we genuinely hope you enjoy your Bamboo taste of Hawaii!
