    Kauia Cosmo
    Rod A.

    Great spot for dinner. The reviews are all spot on. The cocktails rocked. The Westside Mule had the perfect amount of ginger. My wife loved the cosmo. For the food, the Italian Stallion was amazing. Lots of flavor and the right amount of dressing. The Greek salad was also spot on! Our server was very helpful with the menu and the vibe of the seating area was great along the river. The only downside if there was one, was more dessert options are needed. That is not a big deal as the food, drinks, and vibe all make this the perfect dinner spot.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Drinks were good and a beautiful setting. New bartender so drinks took a while to come out. Will go back for drinks and to try the food.

    Scotty Browns in Poipu was a surprising highlight of our trip! The Spicy Jalapeño Margaritas really…read moreset the tone for the meal. It perfectly prepared! Every dish knocked the flavors out of the park - the dynamite crunch roll, blackened chicken cowboy salad, and the Hollywood burger are three must-orders. Special shoutout to the truffle fries and aioli. Those were impossible to stop eating! Incredible drinks, great vibes, great food. We loved everything about our meal and would definitely go back again!

    Ok this was our first time trying Scotty Browns and I'm glad we did!…read more They are in the same shopping center as some of our other favorite restaurants. They're more on the casual side, and they're on the first floor, so no ocean view. But they have a great covered patio area that is fun and VERY protected. My sister in law and I each tried the macadamia crusted mahi mahi and we really loved it. We got the mashed potatoes with it which was definitely the right call. Unfortunately the broccoli was pretty bland. But my family loved their lilikoi foam-topped Mai Tais. I want to thank the staff because I called and left a message asking to be seated inside since we were worried about rain. 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!

    I entered Duke's with a great attitude and ready for a great meal by the sea and excited to dig in!…read moreWe entered the restaurant with high hopes when greeted by two very nice hosts. When we sat down though the hostess was not quite the nicest, but still did her job (even if it took a while). When bringing out the food, almost the whole tables were warm, even if it was a $90 steak. I ordered the Duke's Cheeseburger and it was enjoyable. The manager was super nice, and after talking about this with him, he decided to help us out! The ambiance of the place was amazing, and loved the statues and mood the entire time.

We did the picture in front of the huge surfboard to start. We were seated with a view of the bay. Waitstaff was very nice. Keep in mind the front desk is on the opposite side of the restaurant as the bay. We started with ahi sashimi which has become standard at all the restaurants we eat at in Hawaii. LOL. My wife ordered the ahi tuna tacos. I ordered the coconut ginger braised seafood. It has multiple types of fresh fish of the day with lobster. The sauce is just perfect. Filling and flavorful. In the end they gave the hula pie for free for our anniversary. So kind! The twisted version was a mango sorbet. We missed the twisted version with the cookie dough. We ordered the original. Damn it was good. How can you go wrong with hot fudge and ice cream!
