What a great experience for our anniversary celebration!…read more Well started off with cocktails and coconut shrimp. Try the Lychee martini or the Mule. For dinner we had the Duo Fish dish and the Mac crushed and crusted fish with rice. For an anniversary dessert we had the Hula pie. Do not leave here without trying this absolute excellent dessert. We were seated in area opposite the bar and still able to hear the live music while enjoying the indoor/outdoor dining. The entire experience was fantastic because of our server Kaelyn. She was so kind, a lot of fun and great to be around!

At most places in which we ate, the Caesar salad was big enough to share. This was a bit small. I had the seafood risotto. It was very good but it was more risotto than protein. My husband had the Chef's Fresh Fish Duo. The fish that night was Ono and Marlin. He did enjoy that. As a special treat for my birthday, the waitress brought me a large slice of Hula pie. It was very good. We enjoyed the restaurant and would return the next time we are in Poipu.

Their dry-aged steak is worth it as a main shareable dish with a unique butter compote smothered on top - you truly don't need a side dish for it.

I would recommend making reservations and having this as a must-eat location in Northern Kauai!

Ordered a grilled fish plate with a green salad, instead of the potato mac salad. Food was very tasty, except for the rice. Frankly that the only reason why I wouldn't rate it 5 stars.

Overloaded Fish Tacos, buried in an avalanche of slaw and heavy, cold, salsa-like(?) tomato chunks…read more One of the few disappointments of our trip. Heard this spot was great. Probably is? Next time, I'll get the poke, which is supposed to be good. Fish Tacos just seemed like a thing to get on Kauai. The 'well done' ahi was spicy & flavorful. A blackened taste, which I love. Had to scoop off a ton of toppings to find it, but once I did, it was yummy. The other fish, was pretty bland. We did nearly screw-up our order, so I appreciate the frantic girl in charge, not getting mad at us and adjusting things for a last-minute fix.

From the moment we arrived, the hostess was warm, welcoming, and attentive, which set the tone for the evening. The entire staff was fantastic, and we especially want to thank our server, Danielle, who was truly amazing and made our experience even more special. We came in with a large party of 15, and everything was handled seamlessly. The food was delicious across the board. The kids loved the chicken tenders and fries, and for myself, I ordered the lobster tempura to start along with the chili crunch poke--both were incredible, especially the poke, which was super fresh and full of flavor. My husband and I also split a steak, and it was cooked perfectly. Everyone in our group left happy the views outside are absolutely amazing as well. Perfect place for our dinner

The wine list included lots of options that I don't often see by the glass, such as Chenin Blanc and Albarino. The Aperature Chenin Blanc was so tasty alongside appetizers and seabass. For starters, we had the short rib potsticker (5 to an order with a peanutty curry sauce on top), and focaccia, which came with balsamic and olive oil, plus roasted garlic cloves. The chewy texture was great, it almost seemed air fried. Entrees: 2 kid's shells with cheese (mac'n cheese) generous portions, and no grief over 15 to ordering off children's menu. Also, the filet and seabass entrees. One came with mashed potatoes, one with rice, but we swapped. Could have with both choy, or sub in green beans. The filet was cooked perfectly to our liking at medium, and very tender. I'm not sure on the size, but it was plenty. The seabass came with 2 large pieces of fish. About half got eaten, it was so delicious, but the buttery texture made it very filling, so hey! Lunch today. Possibly the best aspect of the dinner, topping the food and divine weather, was our server, Ali'i He went above and beyond, chatting to the kids and myself, plus on point recommendations, and speedy water fills and checking in. He brought me wine tastes, solit a virgin daiquiri for my girls, and generally brought a spirit of Aloha. There was a nice duo singing on the patio, too, which really sealed the deal on the relaxing atmosphere. Bathrooms are also very luxurious.

Great spot with an awesome atmosphere and really good cocktails!…read more We stumbled in here completely by accident and somehow ended up in what felt like the busiest place in Hanalei, great live musicians, people dancing, and legitimately tasty cocktails and beer. Service was just amazing! The only downside is the price. We ordered a couple of cocktails, one beer, and a small pizza, and the bill was close to $200, which felt a bit steep. The pizza itself wasn't anything special, but to be fair, this is a bar, not really a restaurant, so I can't complain too much. Overall though, super fun vibe and a great place for drinks and live music. Would definetely come back for the atmosphere alone.
