Nice location and overall nice atmosphere. Good for couples, but also for dinner with friends or family. Very good food. Personnel is very friendly and professional, made it easy our choices and meet our expectations.

The flavours were excellent, - great fresh ingredients, good menu choices, lovely wine, beautiful service and lovely location. The staff were helpful and friendly without being all over you. Service was prompt and presentation was very good. Bookings were being taken two days in advance - but it is worth the effort to get a table here.
Since I read that this is where the locals go for a special night out, I picked the Hukilau to celebrate our 14 year anniversary. They use fresh ingredients from local farmers in Kauai and the neighbor islands. I do have to say that their advertisement of “ocean-view dining” is a little deceiving. It's more like a lanai where you...

We visit Kauai regularly and last year decided this was our favorite restaurant in this region. We made reservations to go back wondering if it would be the same - it was! Great food, intriguing menu combinations and such a pleasant setting.
This was one of the best meals we've ever had. The tasting menu was wonderful. Each course was paired perfectly with the wine. The candied ahi was so good that I could have made it my whole meal. They are also very good with gluten free. I had my own gf bread, baked when I ordered. The wait staff was...

My party of four all had the mixed seafood grill a few nights ago and it was as described in other reviews: Pineapple-skewered prawns escorted on either side of the plate by mahi-mahi and walu on the night we were there.

The concierge recommended this restaurant and assisted us in getting reservations. The food was really great, especially the Poke Nachos. The only bad thing was the mosquitos, I received 5 bites in the matter on minutes, because the tradewinds were not blowing. The staff had repellant and that helped. It was great dining and service was excellent.
Very nice atmosphere. Food very good, wait staff very good. We sat in a pleasant, comfortable bar area while waiting to be seated. Everyone enjoyed their meal thoroughly. We highly recommend a visit. The restaurant is in a resort with very nice grounds and access to a beautiful shore. Take a walk there before or after dinner.
when i walked into this restaurant, I thought i walked into the wrong place. it's a restaurant hotel, and the people there were all from Jersey. The restaurant was packed, but we ate in the bar area and the food was excellent. This was the best pork we had on the island. highly recommend.
This wasI our first time at this restaurant. The food was good as were the drinks. The restaurant is quiet and nice. The only problem I had with this restaurant is we were not seated on time although we had a confirmed reservation. Otherwise, a nice experinece.
