“Fish Tacos”

If you're a fan of fish tacos, you've got to try this place. The food and drinks are all well-prepared, and the environment is right. Multiple tvs provide sports or surf-viewing, while one can choose to dine on the front patio (with views of the Na Pali mountains and old Hanalei school), or inside (either at a fantastic, thatch-roofed bar,... more

Busy pub style restaurant, half the meals were good, the other half not. Busy and servers were too, which meant mixed up meals / wrong meals and long waits. more

Me and my mother stayed in Hanalei Bay in February (2009). We were really close to Kalypso, so one evening we decided to try it. It looked a bit touristy, so we didn't have very high expectations, but we were hungry and the price was right. We were surprised to find that the food was actually really REALLY good! We... more

Ate dinner at the Kalypso last night (17 Apr 09) and found it to be delicious. We noticed the restaurant was packed all week so we made reservations for Friday night at 7:15PM. Much to our surpise you could walk in and be seated right away. Service was friendly and efficient. The food was good and the portions are large.... more

We go to Kalypso's (fka Zelo's) every year & find it is a fun place to relax...sit outside & watch the tourists. The food is good. I hate to admit this as I usually go w/fresh fish but their hamburgers are to die for & huge! Once again this year we will be dining at Kalypso's as it is one... more

We took a road trip to Hanalei on a blustery day since we had not been to Hanalei for a few years. We were looking for Zelo's but found it was replaced by Kalypso. The waitress though nice enough gave a hard sell on the special of the day, a Shrimp Quesadilla so I decided to try it and my... more

We stopped at Kalypso for lunch and all 6 of us loved our food, the fish was amazing and the drinks were fantastic. Not a cheap lunch with the drinks but well worth the money. We went back for happy hour the next day. They also have nice tables at the side and front which you can see the mountains... more
