having read all the positive reviews, I was very excited indeed to eat at Colleen's, however I can definitely say that based on my first visit I will likely not be returning -- or may be very daring indeed and try other things on the menu.
I had a rather poorly-mixed roasted beet salad that really _could_ have been something special noting the components involved, but was just rather uninspired.
... but what I remember most vividly was the Ahi sashimi. What was delivered to my table was the stringiest, most poorly-cut, soft (which is _really_ bad for a firm fish such as Ahi), most uninspired and flavourless slices of Ahi tataki I have ever seen -- which is pretty bad, in that this is Maui and the quality of fish available is quite high.
Sorry to say but I guess I could say the word I'm looking for to describe the cooking is ""lazy"".
The wine list was decent and the service was OK, however.
Meh
