Amelia R.

We were craving a big sandwich ! And drift provided that. The sandwiches were delicious and HUGE. I wish they had a small appetite option as that is too much for one person.

Cocktails

What a fabulous place. Cocktails are amazing. And u expected with the casual menu. Great sandwiches. Salad was perfect. Service was just enough attention. The place give s a casual vibe. It's around d back of the food truck looks abandoned- keep walking to the back of the building. Bug spray might be a good idea too. You're dining in a lush area with a lot of wet plants.

Drink menu

Super-cute permanent food truck bar/restaurant in the back of the Warehouse 3540 "Mall" on Koloa Road in Kalaheo. They serve a short but sweet menu of toasted grinders and salads with a great selection of specialty cocktails. We both had cocktails and then shared a Greek salad. We split 2 different sandwiches, the Reuben and the Godfather. They come grilled open-faced with potato chips, and one is more than generous for a mid-day meal. Our table overlooked a lovely view of a quiet stream valley and was a delightful spot for a unique dining adventure.

Had a great experience here! The drinks were absolutely delicious with beautiful presentation, and the food did not disappoint. The outdoor seating and ambience are perfect--such a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely worth it!

Italian stallion sandwich w/ chips! Delish!
Ashley M.

We live up the road and never tried, one day we went there for a spur of the moment kind of thing and glad we did because the sandwiches were awesome and drinks were refreshing! Staff were so sweet and welcoming

Wife and I stopped in for cocktails on the drive back from Waimea Canyon. We saw the good reviews, so decided to check it out. It's a cute little "micro-bar" hiding behind a warehouse building. We ordered the Bird of Paradise, the Berry Flats, and the Roasted Garlic Cheesy Bread. Drinks were delicious and well balanced. Love this place. What a gem.

We always stop here for cocktail's after a day at the beach. Love the atmosphere, and the drinks are delicious! Such a cute spot and a fun vibe! Service is always great. Highly recommend.

Phenomenal soft pretzel. Legit want to go back and get one right now!
Shannan S.

Staff were friendly and spoke as soon as we walked in. We could hear the stream beside the fence and the rain made it so much better! The pretzel was amazing -- and only this is only the second place I know of that we can get soft pretzels! Philly cheesesteak was so delicious. Ambiance was 10/10 - loved this place and will def go back. We are always looking for local places to support when eating out so def will be eating here again.

Great Bartender!

!!! Try The Rumbleweed !!! Maybe the best find of our week away from Kansas. The staff all worked together to earn our praise. The food, customized to our taste, was fabulous! The corner table we found allowed our family gathering to share, and to also interact with other guests and staff. A semi-open setting with a light breeze to chill and recover from a big day on the Friendly Island of Kauai! MAHALO

Berry flats

I love me a day drink spot! Super cute bar with craft cocktails & yummy bites to cruise with your gf's and have girl talk. Hidden in the back of Lawai warehouse, this is the perfect spot to sip a drank in the middle of the day. They have a nice selection of fun fresh drinks and yummy bites to share. Def one of my favorite spots on the south side :) Happy hour is 4-5p for $2 off all drinks!

The Canyon or the Rueben sandwich. I can't remember. And a local Golden ale.
David D.

Great locals' secret. Filling, savory, homemade sandwiches, salads, pupus and more. A small selection of ales on tap plus exotic drinks and standard wells. Calm, friendly outdoor atmosphere. A rotating live music schedule on selected nights makes it a great go-to.

Erin, thank you for such a great meal last night. You were attentive, friendly and on top of it!…read more Food was seriously delicious, too. The given rosemary focaccia is perfectly baked and the olive oil is top quality. The fettuccine calabrese was one of the best Italian sausage pastas I've had. Other members of our party ordered the seafood vongole (that broth, yum!), veal with capers and oxtail pappardelle. Wine list was extensive and we had a great bottle. Everyone loved the panna cotta and tiramisu! Make reservations. Restaurant fills up quick, duh. Plenty of parking, just drive around.

It is small and I…read morewould recommend reservations because, on a Tuesday night, there were many tables that had patrons. We had a relatively early dinner, but the number of people who entered as we were leaving were many. We had a very nice server who was helpful. We had a caesar salad to start. It was large enough for us to share and very flavorful. My husband had the Melanzane alla Parmigiana (eggplant parmesan) that came with spaghetti arrabiata. The eggplant was placed on top of the spaghetti and took on the spicy flavor of the arrabiata sauce. I had the Fresca Dal Mare. Although it was tasty, the clams and mussels were tiny. The pasta overwhelmed the dish. Although the prices were among the cheapest that we had for dinner on Kauai, the pasta was the center of the dish and overshadowed the rest of it. I would return to the restaurant the next time that we are on the island, but I would ask way more questions about the contents of the dish before I order.

This is piling on but like everyone else says, it's a great restaurant. It's more than the "pretty…read moregood pizza" that they list - even if you do just a cheese (thanks to the picky eaters at the table) you'll taste how the crust is just right and they give you more sauce (without overdoing it) than anywhere else. I also recommend their margherita pizza - honestly, that should be sent to other restaurants throughout the US as a lesson how to make 'em! If you're deciding to get a 2nd pizza for the table or sides, the Caesar salad, fried calamari, and house bread are good options. (The house bread is not "just bread" - you'll be glad you got it considering what you get: fresh baked focaccia with different sauces) Now...can I talk about the iced tea? I really like iced tea. I drink a lot of it. Maybe "too much" if that's such a thing. I have no shame. The lilikoi iced tea is what I would like to replace the blood in my veins. It is so, so good. We all can't be wrong, can we? It's one of the best restaurants I encountered on the island - I even got some locals to try it despite it being "touristy" - nothing I can do about that until I move to Kauai. Just for that iced tea...and the pizza!

We are here visiting the island and stopped by this restaurant. We were so impressed the first time…read morethat we came back the next day. The food was fantastic. The service was great and the pizzas came out quickly and we liked the atmosphere . We ordered the margarita pizza and chicken wings, yummy. We definitely recommend this restaurant!

My husband is still talking about Smoker and the Rye cocktail. Rainbow roll with real crab was also so, so good! Brother has uni and said it was just like his fav spot in Los Angeles serving Japanese uni.

I was impressed how quickly the busers removed the dirty dishes from the table and how the were constantly refilling the water. The sushi service was slow. The rolls were a mixed bag. The rainbow roll was very good and well made. The California towered dry and not very flavorful. The lobster dynamite was amazing. I highly recommend ordering this. Very flavorful and deliciously warm. The drinks were good they had a nice wine list and the saki was good quality.

You have to sign in right on time 3pm HST which was 6pm DST. If you delay more than 10-15 minutes, all the spots are taken. The problem of getting reservations is the biggest drawback of Bar Acuda. We arrived at 7:30 & had a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Chose indoor & were seated at one of the round table booths. The ambiance is typical Hawai'i - casual, but nice. Looking at the menu, we decided on several options for the 4 of us: Brioche rolls: come out hot & served with special butter. Good, but not outstanding Honeycomb w/ goat cheese: Served with crackers & thin slices of apple. Always a hit. Lentils: W/ tomato cream. A huge hit with the vegetarian in the group. Cucumber salad: A definite favorite with avocado & crispy chickpeas. It's a simple salad with big taste. A must have for everyone in group. Kauai shrimp: 4 shrimp served over mashed potatoes. My favorite of the night, it was a bit spicy & paired well with potatoes. Broccoli: with burrata & almonds slightly charred. My husband's favorite. Potatoes Braves: Very crispy & served piping hot with spicy sauce. Always a hit with everyone. Lamb: 3 small chops over polenta. Excellent as always served medium rare. Bruschetta: 4 servings. Well-liked. For dessert: the Illikoi cheesecake is light & creamy and always a pick for the group. Lemon curd ice cream was a new menu item. Served with loads of pistachios it was light & refreshing. I haven't seen lemon ice cream before. Definitely a great dessert. We will be returning in a few days. Got lucky on reservations taking last spot available. Can't wait.

Our party was too big for the inside seating (it's very limited), but they made sure to put us in a very protected area on the patio. Our waitress was welcoming and patient. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center which is always helpful. We would definitely come back!
