Last time we were here they offered a 2 person meal of lobster, scallops, shrimp and salad. It wasn’t on the menu this time so we asked about it and sure enough they were willing to do it again at more recent market prices and it was as wonderful as it was last time. Lemongrass is our all time favorite place and after trying many Mai Tais all over the island we agreed that theirs was the best! We will be back next time we come !!

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at The Lemon Grass in Kapa'a. My wife had the chicken which she raved about. One of our party had the macadamia crusted Dover sole ane he said it was very good. Two of us had the Mahi Mahi catch of the day and it was very fresh and perfectly prepared. Add the talented entertainer and we had a wonderful evening.

Made an impromptu visit to the Lemongrass cafe, across the street from our residence at Waipouli Beach resort. Our family of six was seated promptly without reservation, and drinks appetizers served promptly. After seeing others orders, half our table ordered the macadamia nut crusted sea bass which was delicious. Wife got the stuffed shrimp and our daughters split an order of the tempura Ono. Everything was delicious and I wouldnt be surprised if we visited at least once more before our trip is finished (...honestly, the sea bass was that good).

This is a beautifully decorated restaurant on the island of Kauai, but it is so overrated in terms of the food taste, portion sizes and the cost if you are coming from the states. Our service was also very poor from the manager herself. I kindly asked her if she had lost our order and she repeated our order and did not apologize. This is after we had been sitting there and seeing others coming in after us and getting their food first, but she did not apologize. After we finally got our food almost 30 minutes after 3 tables had been served before us, she brought us our food and still did not apologize until I and when I brought it to her and she tried to say that they were busy!! which was a lie!!

The food was amazing! I gave it a 3 star review because out of a party of five - one person didn’t get their meal until the rest were halfway done - and this was after asking about it. Also their website said gratuity would automatically be added for a group of six or more it was automatically added for our group of five. And we were charged $9.49 to use a credit card

We went to the Lemongrass Gill Seafood and Bar our last night in Kapaa HI and wish we went there earlier on our trip. The food was one of our best and the price was more reasonable than other restaurants. It was worth the traffic jam to get there.

Great service but unimpressed with crab cakes (mushy inside) and seafood stew (tart base with unpleasant taste). Server noticed our meals largely uneaten and owner came over to remove plates to take a look. Attention appreciated but left hungry.

I’m giving it 2 stars because the food was actually alright. They advertise to be open until 9pm and when we arrived at 7.55pm the waitress looked annoyed at our arrival and asked us to order quickly. When I pointed out that they advertise a 9pm closing she just mumbled something inexplicable. As instructed, we ordered as quick as we could and the food was alright. The waitress even offered to look at desserts, but we declined saying that she’s probably running out of time. When she brought the check, she explained that the featured credit card surcharge is something common and is charged by the credit card company to customers. I pointed out that any cost to charge credit cards is for the merchant and not the customer, to which she replied it must be my first day/time to the US as this is commonly charged ‘everywhee’….I must have been lucky in the past years… If you’re good with OK food with bad service, you should be alright…..otherwise just move on and look for another place.

After driving past this place a few times we finally had an opportunity to try it on our last night in Kauai, and I am so glad we did! We sat at a table outside, and, aside from the traffic noise, there was a pleasant breeze. We all ordered drinks from the specialty cocktail menu that were all very good (Wailea River relaxer, Fern Grotto, and Sleeping Giant). When it started to rain, our server offered us a table inside under a ceiling fan. For dinner we ordered macadamia encrusted sea bass, scallop mushroom sauté, and drunken duck. Everything was very delicious! The only complaint was that the duck skin should have crispy instead of chewy. The coconut cream pie was also delicious. The service was impeccable, we have never seen a team work so well together! My friends and I highly recommend the Lemongrass Grill!

We found this place when the 5 star Jo2 disappointed us. These guys welcomed us in with a smile and great service. The cocktails were amazing and didnt cheap out on the alcohol. The food was delicious. Appetizers of coconut shrimp and sautéed buttered mushrooms arrived promptly and well cooked. I had the MacNut Crusted Sea Bass and husband had the grilled Ono. Both meals were fantastic. I agree one of the best places on the island to eat both in service and food quality.

We arrived in the afternoon on Chrismas Day without dinner reservations. A lot of restaurants were closed and driving along Kuhio Hwy, we saw this restaurant and decided to give it a rty. We couldn't find too much about the food here on the internet but it was getting late and we were running out of choices. Considering the name, we thought it was a Thai restaurant but didn't find the usual Thai menu items like Pad Thai and Satay. It is more Hawaiian Asian fusion. The food turned out great, it was all delicious. Duck, Fish, and steak were all good. Would definitely eat here again!

We had passed this place for years as we return from time to time, This was the day we chose to stop in. Nice menu variety, went with something safe for the first time, did not disappoint !! Grilled fish of the day was tasty well prepared. Service was spotty, especially as they got busier. That was disappointing bc they were not busy when we arrived. would go back and try other things we viewed coming out of the kitchen.

The best meal we had on the island and it was $25 compared to $36 and $39 at the other nice, highly recommended places we ate at. I had Macadamia nut encrusted sea bass with a creamy chili sauce. It was a huge helping (I couldn't eat it all) of some of the best fish I have ever tasted. My wife had a mixed sea food curry which was also excellent. Eat there!

Went for dinner and drinks. We’re told there was indoor seating (no A/C and hot) or we could wait 5 min or so for outdoors. We chose outside and only had about a 2min wait. Not too busy but seemed to take quite a bit of time for them to get to us for our order. We ordered drinks and the meal at the same time. Drinks came in about 3-5 min and food was there in about 10. The food was excellent and the drinks were very good too. Will visit again.

We had read mixed reviews on this place, but at 6:30 on a Friday night they were able to seat 6 of us after a last minute call, so we went with it. Everybody ordered something different and it was all excellent, as was the attentive service. We all agreed this was one restaurant we would definitely return to.
