It's only a block north of the beach and we literally drove passed this to reach the beach. So I decided to give up a bit of my beach time to appreciate the native culture. Sadly for tourists, there is no walking on the grounds permitted unless there is some special tour going on. (There is a website that fills in all the details of events.) But good for the history preservation, the lack of people trodding over everything should help preserve the site longer for it to reveal its secrets to those trained in discovery. For all the technical info about this place, check out Toni's excellent review. I have also posted photos of the information kiosks near the wooden carvings. It's nice to find a place that is trying to preserve what makes it special instead of selling out to greed for short term gain. Review #2383

The Island of Kauai had a long run producing sugar cane, but that has faded along with the government subsidies. Now, the island is seeing the land being converted to coffee plantations. But back in 1965, this site of a former Sugar Mill was designated as a Historic Place. 20 years later, this monument was built to commemorate the history of the area. The monument includes contributor plaques as well as six informational plaques that tell all about the sugar industry and local history. But the eye-catching focus of the monument is the full-sized depiction of numerous sugar mill workers cast in bronze by artist Gordon Fisher in 1985. The native people are shown performing certain tasks, some standing, some seated. It is a beautiful piece dedicated to capturing the look of the island people at the height of the sugar trade.

I only got 2 bites and had to play it cool because, well, I made the choice I did. I was effusive in my praise afterwards and everyone who worked there concurred and said I was just the latest to discover this incredible dish! If you enjoy this dish, trust me: it's better than any other kind you've had in the past. After the meal, we met another waiter and chatted with him about the restaurant, recipes, and this neighborhood. Just as friendly as everyone else.

Saturday Sunset Food Tour on Kauai…read more Our tour guides were both very pleasant, however, we were highly disappointed with the actual event. The description of the tour did not match with what we actually experienced. I would not consider the dinner fine dining. The food was barely lukewarm...the entrees were two small ribs, a scoop of mashed potatoes, with no side vegetables! Yes, there was dessert but hardly worth even mentioning. The appetizers were served at different shopping centers straight from a paper bag. At one stop, it was handed to us standing in front of the company van near food trucks in a parking lot. There we sampled what we will admit was a delicious appetizer,but felt very awkward. There was no presentation at all! Maybe if there was some pre-thought into the serving, it may not of been as bad. Of course, the sunset was beautiful. But we could've seen it anywhere for free. This excursion was a splurge for us on our anniversary trip. Definitely not worth the amount of money we paid for it!!!

But totally understandable. Service was ok. Could've been better. Our server was ok but I didn't get a friendly vibe from her. The restaurant decor was lovely and I love that they had live music. They had an awesome guest musician. We enjoyed his music. The pre-selected food choices t h ey had for Mother's Day was well chosen (see menu). My friend had the steak and I took a bite of it. It was beefy, complemented by perfectly melted fat and seasoning (like salt, pepper, and garlic). It was delish even if I only had one bite. I had the meatball with marinara sauce. The sauce over the meatball was like the icing on the cake. It was bigger than I expected so I did have leftovers but ate it the next day. It was even better.

We were a party of 7 and had a reservation; we dined on 3/29/26. We were sat at a good table, and were greeted at the host stand warmly. Our server was friendly but obviously overwhelmed. We started by ordering cocktails (extra cold vodka martinis and prosecco). We also put in an appetizer order of calamari and bruschetta. Our appetizers arrived before our cocktails, and though we ordered the calamari and bruschetta, we got calamari and the focaccia bread. While our server was passing the table, we mentioned that we did not order the focaccia bread, but ordered the bruschetta. She made some excuse and told us the bruschetta would be right out. Once we were finally 3/4 of the way through our appetizers, our cocktail order arrived warm, about 20 minutes after we placed the order. When we were mostly through our cocktails and all the way done with our calamari, bruschetta arrived. It does not say on the menu that the bruschetta only has two pieces, and we felt the server should have mentioned to our party of seven that it only had two pieces, and should have suggested we ordered a second order. So we ordered another order of bruschetta to accommodate our party. One person in our party did not order cocktails but wanted to have a glass of wine from a bottle of red that we brought, and we were more than halfway through our original cocktail order before glasses were brought to the table, and that one person could have a glass of wine-- we did mention while placing our cocktail order that that one person wanted to have a glass of wine while we were having our cocktails. Before we got our second order of bruschetta, the busers tried to clear our plates, and we explained that we were still waiting on a second order of bruschetta. Our entrées arrived perfect, and hot and delicious... though our appetizers and appetizer plates were still cluttering the table. Maybe it's not in their service standard, but none of our pasta noodle dishes were served with a spoon, which is very awkward to eat. We were also not offered any Parmesan cheese upon the delivery of our entrées or throughout our meal, which was offered when we dined there previously. The ambience was nice, but extremely loud due to the untrained busers who were talking loudly and dropping silverware continuously on the floor near our table while trying to clear plates and buss empty tables. We felt our server was trying her very best, but was extremely busy with other tables and did not pay our table much attention. The floor manager was behind the host stand for much of the evening, and did not touch our table once, or help our overwhelmed server pour wine, clear plates, or fix any errors. Overall we felt that the entire front of house staff lacked communication with each other, and the manager was unhelpful. There was an auto gratuity of 20% placed on our check due to the fact that we were a large party, which was fine because we would not have tipped less than 20% anyway, but we were hoping for more than mediocre service. We hope this place sticks around because there are not many options for good Italian food on the island, but the truth is we are not excited to return because the service and experience overall was lackluster.
