Went last week to this restaurant. Was hesitant as we approached as the hotel that the restaurant is located in does not look that great. What a wonderful surprise this restaurant was! The service was excellent and the food delicious. Best of all, the price was really reasonable, which after eating out for a week in Kauai was much appreciated.... more

After reading the reviews on here, I was really excited to eat at this restaurant! I got the sweet potato ravioli appetizer as my meal and it had just 3 crescent ravioli pieces, a little less than I was expecting. My parents got the veggie lasagna and mixed grill with 2 tiny pieces of fish and 4 shrimp. DO NOT... more

We've tried this restaurant just once, for dinner. It sits on a courtyard in the middle of a timeshare resort, very nice garden setting, near the beach but no ocean views from the seating. (It was dark out anyway.) Food (seafood) and service were excellent. more

My husband and I ate here on our first night because of the ratings here on tripadvisor. It was overall pretty good! The atmosphere is great, the service and food are both good. The menu is a little limited, but that's OK with me. We got ahi nachos, which were interesting, but the fish and sausage soup was fantastic. The... more

I read all the reviews here and was staying in Kapaa- so thought we'd try it out. I called and made reservations- weeks in advance for 5 pm. I have a 4 year old and our restaurant time runs about 45 minutes before we lose him. So we try to start early- get out fast. Well- the hostess was probably... more

This is one of the rare instances where the slow service can spoil an otherwise good meal. The prices are good compared to some of the other similar options in Kauai and the food is delicious. We had the sweet potato ravioli, the chicken and shrimp duet and the pasta; all the dishes were tasteful and beautifully prepared. Yet it... more

Best outdoor seating on the island. Quiet and romantic. Some dishes very expensive, but the menu offered a good range of dishes. The kiki torches and palm tree in the garden really make for a nice Hawaiian setting. more

We just got back from 10 great days in Kauai and ate at a lot of different restaurants in many different price ranges. We stayed in Kapaa at the Aston which happens to be right next to Hukilau Lanai. Based on my experience, I'd say there are 2 kinds of restaurants on Kauai: Hukilau Lanai and everything else. It's not... more
