Reviews Summary
Ikena offers a grand Sunday Rosé Brunch experience with a vast array of seafood, breakfast items, and unique dishes, complemented by live music and stunning ocean views. While many praise the quality and variety, some note the high price point and occasional issues like overcooked items or less-than-ideal seafood freshness.
"Had the rose brunch on sunday and it was excellent.
Large selection of seafood, dim sum, and traditional breakfast options. My favorites were the sashimi and shrimp shao mai. Live music and view of the ocean added to the nice vibes."

"We went for the Rose brunch ($115 per person) on Father's day. Service was outstanding. Donna was our server and she was very attentive. The prime rib was very very tender! The shrimps and oysters were my favorite. They had a made to order omelet bar which was very popular but I spiked it. The rose included with our meal was decent. The French toast was ok. The ahi with capers was excellent. There was also lots of baked good, but I skipped that. You can purchase additional drinks if you like. I just had water and Rose. The coffee included was disappointing for the price. The live music playing was very pleasant with the meal."
