This small shop jams a lot of quality into a small space. Besides wine there is some hard liquor, cigars, beer for sale. We purchased 4 bottles. Two French and 2 Californians. You'll also find Italian, Spanish, German, Argentinian, Australian, South African and others. Quality is way better than Foodland on the other side of the shopping center. Recommended.

I'd definitely come back for the vibes, view, and good food! The menu is a little small, but everything we tried was tasty and did not disappoint.

Every time I'm there, they manage to stay calm, composed, and professional even when things get busy, while still making every guest feel welcomed and taken care of. Aleah, Hiílanií, Branden, and Kyle each bring such a warm, inviting personality to the experience. They're attentive without being overbearing, genuinely friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell they care about creating a great experience, not just serving a drink. Their ability to maintain that level of hospitality under pressure is impressive and really sets them apart. They make Sandbox feel relaxed, welcoming, and special. A fantastic team and a true reflection of the hospitality you hope for at 1 Hotel Hanalei. Highly recommend!

All I can say is wow to the Chili Pepper Chicken!…read more After talking to our hotel clerk and took several recommendations from him, this was the place I was looking forward to the most. The restaurant is in the gas station on the corner. There is no seating so plan on eating in your car or taking it to a park or the beach. The service was just ok. Nothing special. But that chicken tho!!! Holy chick! Breaded and perfectly fried tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce. This was served with a Hawaiian style Mac salad and a generous portion of steamed Calrose rice yummmmm! I bought a bottle of locally made chili pepper water (Hawaiian style hot sauce) to douse my lunch. Glad I took this recommendation and I will definitely be back and ordering the same thing every time I visit Kauai!

The restaurant itself is beautiful, with an incredible setting and amazing views, especially around sunset. That said, it feels like the space has not been kept up as well as it could be. Some of the seats were ripped, drinks were served in plastic cups, and a few details gave it a more casual feel than you would expect from such an upscale looking restaurant. Even the focus on pizza was a little surprising. It feels like this may have been more of a high end steakhouse or fine dining restaurant at one point. Still, we were happy we tried it. Pizza is a great option for a family because it is easy to share, and the pizza itself was very good. The service was friendly as well. We also ordered an Italian salad, which was pretty basic and uninspired, mostly lettuce with a few ingredients tossed together. The prices felt a little high for what you get, but not unreasonable considering you are in Kauai with such a beautiful view. Overall, this is a great spot for a relatively affordable dinner with an amazing sunset. The pizza is definitely good, not mind blowing, but a clear step up from your average grocery store pizza.

Have been in Kawaii (Princeville) for 8 days. We have eaten here 3 times!…read moreI see other reviews condemning the credit card fee...these reviewers don't realize that EVERY restaurant and shop has to do the same thing. This place has great food, and is actually one of the more affordable places in Princeville or Hanalei. We ate the Goddess salad, rigatoni bolognese, onion rings, chicken Alfredo, mozzarella sticks, and the crispy chicken sandwich. All these menu items were very good and service was very friendly. Debby had the Macnut Mai Tai, and loved it. You need to realize that EVERYTHING on this island is expensive! If you don't like the prices, you should have gone somewhere else. I HIGHLY recommend B's Kitchen!

I've dined at some great sushi restaurants, and this isn't one of them. So just to let you know that this place is a snooty tourist trap scene whose sole major asset is its view, and mainly you will get some very overpriced sushi and drinks to help you pay to look at that view and snap a few photos. But wait! It gets even worse! They don't even like it when you stand next to the rail to take photos! One manager actually was rude and chastised me for standing too close to another seated customer to take a photo. She claims I was "ruining his experience." The man had his back to me and I don't believe was even aware I was there. Yet they will let customers at their pool get drunk and loud and "ruin the experience" of someone else at the pool. Staff then would do nothing except move our cabana when we made an actual complaint. I would never return to this restaurant because of the management issue (highly unlikely to ever return to 1 Hotel Hanalei, in fact.)

Reservations are a must! They open 30 days in advance on Resy, so be ready to book as soon as they become available at 3 p.m. local time. Would absolutely come back and highly recommend Bar Acuda if you're visiting Kauai!

Bar Acuda makes eating vegetables feel like a reward rather than something you order to feel better about everything else you ate on vacation. The cucumber salad was light and refreshing, and the pan-roasted broccoli was perfectly seasoned and served with a delish harissa sauce. For our entrée, we shared the Hawaiian fish. Super fresh and perfectly cooked, but a little bland. It was begging for a sauce or something to give it a little personality. And then came the lilikoi cheesecake. GAME OVER! By far the best dessert I've had in a very long time: creamy, tart, sweet, and dangerously addictive. We ordered one to share, took a few bites, and immediately realized sharing had been a tactical error. So naturally, we ordered two more to take home for the next day. Our favorite meal on Kauai. Come for dinner, but whatever you do, do not leave without the cheesecake.
