While on our honeymoon, we looked to TripAdvisor + The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook for restaurant suggestions, often cross referencing them. I'm happy we didn't listen to the negative reviews. We had one of the best meals of our trip at Gaylord's. Our waiter recommended excellent dishes and great wine pairings. The hostess was so proud of the history of the... more

My wife and I have been there three times and have never been disappointed. It is a bit pricy but is worth the cost because of the setting and the food. This is a place that one does NOT get in a hurry. It is laid back like the whole island and is the time for you and friends or... more

In addition to the restaurant there are a variety of interesting... more

Went here last week on my birthday. The food was very good, although I found my caesar salad (of all things) a litlte sub-par. The service and everything else was fantastic.
