We have tried all the restaurants around Poipu, and we are totally in love Plantation Gardens (within Kiahuna Plantation), returning numerous times over a two week period September 2009. Fresh catch local seafood, fabulous ribs, innovative and delightful appetizers, great cocktails, the most reasonable prices for upscale dining in Poipu. The restaurant is the old "big house" of a former... more

My wife and I decided to have our wedding reception dinner at Plantation Gardens based on some other reviews we read, and we were very happy with our decision. First and foremost, the service was excellent. We had just over twenty people in our group in the East Lanai and our waitress Joyce remembered everyone's name throughout the dinner. When... more

We ate at this restaurant because it was recommended in our island orientation & it was located within our resort. It was fair, but not great. Way over priced for the quality of the food. Service was ok, but not exceptional. more

Went here for our anniversary and were not disappointed. The gardens were lovely and the food was great and service was attentive! This will become a regular stop for future visits. more

If you enjoy seafood, this is worth a visit. Restaurant Abience, menu and food presentation are excellent. Tiger Prawns, and Seafood Stir Fry were highly recommended in our group. Portions are a little small, but are VERY tasty and nicely presented. The restaurant is a little tricky to find as it's part of a hotel/condo complex, so watch for the... more

This was a great dining experience in "old" Hawai'i. The restaurant is (as the name implies) an old plantation house with a beautiful garden. The menu is an excellent blend of Asian and Hawaiian influences in a romantic environment. more
