My husband and I are always on the lookout for a great meal when we are on vacation. We spent 12 days on three islands and this was the BEST meal we ate! Highly recommended! I can't wait to go again!!!! more

The food/service was excellent - nice atmosphere except for the lighting which was hideous. The lighting was undesirable that I dont suggest eating here for romance - keep it light and social - the lack of appropriate evening dinner lighting will do the rest! more

These guys definitely have it figured out. The food is innovative, wonderfully prepared and reasonably priced for the quality and care that goes into it. Since we only had a shared appetizer, two entrees and a shared dessert I can't speak for all of the food but my guess is that it would be equally tasty. At the waiter's recommendation... more

If your look for a dining experience to remember forever - look no further, you've found it in The Eastside. I've travelled to the islands nine times from the east coast and have never cancelled a reservation from another top notch restaurant on the island until I found this jewel. The food is a wonderful blend of local fresh products... more

I chose this restaurant for our only night in Kauai based on the reviews here, and was not disappointed. Everything on the menu looked interesting. And I wish we had more than one night to try more from it. As it was, I asked the waiter what he would choose, and went with that. (Ribs, very, very good) The wait... more

Coctails at Eastside are memorable....they make their Mai Tai's and Margarita's with fresh juice. No mixes or pre-packaged juice here, just great flavor and cool breezes. more

We ate at Eastside last night and loved it. We sat at the bar for 45 minutes before dinner and watched surfing videos and discussed them with the bar tender. We sat for dinner and started with a local baby greens salad with papaya seed dressing. For dinner my wife had the Huli Huli Chicken and I had the Ribeye... more

Cute restaurant with great live music - it is somewhat small inside so you may want to make reservations during "peak" hours. Food was good, but portions were on the small side. Be sure to check the menu before you go especially if you are somewhat of a picky eater. The dishes are more creative than what you'll find at... more
