Breakfast was delicious. I was a bit skeptical due to the reviews. We ordered the tropical French toast, loco moco, and açaí bowl. The tropical French toast came with a guava filled middle, coconut syrup, and macadamia nut butter and it was delicious. The loco moco was flavorful in my opinion and eggs were cooked to ordered. The açaí bowl had fresh fruit, granola, honey,and peanut butter all a great combo. read more

We had happy hour here during our stay at the Kauai Beach Resort, mostly because we were on our last night there and we didn't have a car. My husband and I split the fish dish, which was delicious, and the kids both had the chicken fingers which they enjoyed. I felt The drink options on the happy hour menu were pretty limited. I expected there to be more of a difference between the prices on their regular menu and the happy hour menu. When our server brought the bill, she didn't ring up the happy hour prices, so we had to remind her of that, and it was only a difference of three dollars. It's a pretty restaurant, but they just started construction when we visited at the beginning of October '25, and the only way back into the hotel from the pool was through this restaurant which was kind of weird. Overall, good food and a decent place to eat if you're staying at the hotel, but it wouldn't be my first choice restaurant. read more

The service was great. It has a very open feeling and it's relaxing to dine here. The Kaua'i onion soup was so good we had to go back a second night. We enjoyed everything we had there and it made our first night in Kauai very special. We also had breakfast there the last day and it was amazing. All the staff was great. At night they have live music and it was great as well. read more

Had a dinner here and also breakfast. Sat outside both times. The waterfall and beautiful flowers made a great and relaxing view. For dinner we split a beet salad and steak. The beet salad wasn't quite what we were expecting...not a lot of beets. Also the crunchy fried feta on top was good but I would have preferred to have it mixed in with the salad and not just on top. Steak was fantastic and sides were too. They missed a little on the poached egg as you can see in pics but it still tasted good. The waffle was good. The coconut syrup made this dish tho. It was amazing, just wish I had more. The service was great for both meals and this place is worth visiting. read more

We had a great experience in Naupaka for my husband's and my birthday dinner. We are staying at the outrigger and wanted a fancy dinner for our birthdays. Our server was so friendly and very prompt with service& always checking in. We sat outside with a gorgeous view and it was very relaxing. Our food was SO good. I got the catch of the day and my husband got the pork chop. We also had the crab cakes. No complaints. And I will say I am a picky eater/ food critic lol Will definitely return! read more

We had breakfast this morning. Went for the breakfast buffet. Service was okay but a bit hectic for the waiter. Ordered coffee and juice but it never came so I asked a passing worker, I think she was the restaurant manager. She got those for us. Went to the buffer, the selections wasn't large but it was enough for a light breakfast. They had a omelet station but we didn't order any. The food seemed in good quality, not stale. Fruits were freshly cut. Lots of birds and a resident young rooster came for food. They serve breakfast but not sure about lunch. read more

My wife and I ate at the Naupaka Terrace the night we arrived in Kauai being it was just a short walk from our hotel. We were the first to arrive for the evening and were seated outside next to the koi pond. The view looks into the pool area of the Outdiggers Resort which is beautiful. Our waitress was amazing and took care of us so well. She brought us some Mai Tais that were quite tasty. For our second round, we asked for something different but "Hawaiian" and she brought us one amazing drink that for the life of me I can't remember its name. Look at the picture to see how delicious it is! :) I ordered the seared tuna which was fire! Perfectly seared and coupled with a crazy good dipping sauce, it couldn't have been any better. My wife enjoyed a fantastic rib-eye. Having four cocktails and two dinner plates, the tab was a little expensive but this is to be expected at a hotel restaurant. The food was good, the drinks fantastic, and the service the best, so I wasn't disappointed at all. read more

Naupaka Terrace rates a solid 4.5 stars ! Located at the Kaua'i Beach Resort. Lovely indoor and outdoor dining options overviewing pool area of the resort. Menu is simple with quite a few options that all sounded very yummy! Decided on two smaller plates to make an entree which was the perfect amount. Shrimp ceviche and Kale & Quinoa salad 4/5! Shrimp was great with tropical flavors, was not the biggest fan of the potato chips served with the ceviche. Kale salad had lots of flavor, simple ingredients but overall enjoyed every bite of it. Prices are fair, a lot of reviews claim they added a 18% tip gratuity automatically but not in my case. Service was friendly and checked on multiple times throughout the meal. Received food in a quickly manner as well. Will be back to enjoy more ! read more

We stayed at the hotel and after a long day wanted to dine someplace close. This place had decent reviews and the food pics looked okay... Ordered a variety of items. Overall all the food was good for hotel food, pricing was fair. Service was terrible. It seemed our waitress didn't want to service us. She hardly checked on us besides to take our partial initial order (had to flag her down to have her take the rest of our parties order) and to give us our check. Overall it's not a destination location but a decent option if you're staying in the hotel. read more

Staff is really friendly, however, the service was a little slow in taking out orders. Then when the food came out, the server wasn't sure who ordered what. The food was good. I ordered the brioche french toast with a side of chicken sausage and it tasted great. The berries were fresh and the French toast was fluffy and light. The ambiance was very quiet. It wasn't busy at all when we went. Definitely open to giving this restaurant another try. read more

I was nervous about the negative reviews, but we had an amazing time. We made a late reservation for 7:15p and we're seated within 5 minutes, were introduced to our server and given waters right away. She came back for the drink order and those came back super fast. They only had 2 servers for the evening and we didn't feel like they were lagging or rude. Food: the onion soup was yummy, not overpowering with onion and spices like some can be. My husband had the steak and he gave it a 3/5. But the winner was my Huli Huli chicken. Great portion for the price, incredibly juicy and full of flavor. The smashed potato was amazing and enjoyed the green beans too. It is a little pricey- but it's a restaurant on the resort.... So expecting it to be "cheap" is a little silly. I would also recommend sitting outside. Nice ocean breeze while looking towards the pool area. If it's windy, I would bring a light shawl... it got a bit chilly. The palo-naah mocktail really taste like a Paloma! read more

Me and my significant other stayed at the Outrigger Hotel in Kauai for our little vacation away from Oahu. We decided to try the Naupaka Terrace and I would from personal experience it was a wait and hard to get in but despite that I still recommend this place just be patient and communicate with the desk + booking online. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming when we were there. Even set the mood for a date night. We both really appreciate the aunty that helped us at the front counter she communicated well with us due to it being our first time here and still figuring out how for do it and aunty was very kind & patient same goes for our waitress who helped and communicated and gave some recommendations for dessert in which we got the an ice cream cake with vanilla and coffee and cream at the top I believe. Our food and the drinks were to our liking and didn't have any issues with our dishes. We can definitely say we enjoyed this place. read more

Love the atmosphere but I did not like my breakfast. I'm not a big meat eater...... so if you are you'd probably go nuts for the omelet. Mine had so much meat I couldn't taste anything else. Maybe if I had gone for the veggie it would have been better. I'll definitely give this place another try since I'm here so much. But not this omelette read more

Wow it's been almost 4 years since we ate here!..As you all know Covid screwed up everything!.So when we found out that their breakfast buffet is back.We had to definitely go!.So when we got there we were expecting it to be very Bz but surprisingly it quite slow.Which it was great!No line no wait perfect!..So we were seated and placed our order for our drinks then proceeded to the buffet line.Holy moly we were very disappointed.I guess we were expecting it to be like before they closed down.The Choices became very limited..No bacon,No Portuguese sausage,No smoked salmon,Bagel station,make your own cereal,Waffles,n no omelette station!.Also the price went up to $35 a person.Luckily we are residents so we got a discount.But although they didn't have all the normal choices.The food was still good!.I enjoyed making my own yogurt bowl.Also the fruits were flavorful n fresh.The chicken sausage had a good flavor but sadly the pancakes weren't very good.They were dry.The biscuits were dry also.The gravy that supposed to accompany biscuits were salty.The eggs was okay.With that being said At this point I probably will be going back.But not for the buffet.We probably will be ordering off the menu.Also the service was good but the person that was maintaining the food line was not so friendly..Maybe it's one of those bad morning??. read more

Ate here for Xmas dinner during our first night at resort. The host was friendly, and we were able to sit outside promptly. However, service is really slow. All our food and drinks were brought out at the same time, so it didn't really give us a chance to enjoy the moment. But whatever. My entree was good, but wasn't roasted, rather fried and crunchy af. read more

The buffet was basically a continental breakfast. It was overpriced and a rip off. They need to update the posters that are all over the hotel and website of the hotel and lower the price to match what they offer. It was terrible. The service was ok - I couldn't tell who was the actually server but each person was kind. Then some random lady walked by and ask how we are doing and just kept on moving, not sure what that was about but she was dressed differently from the restaurant staff. It's a nice location and has potential to be better, I hope the outrigger fixes their prices or upgrades their selection and service asap. read more

The restaurant's interior is beautiful and the location sits along side the Outrigger Beach. You can hear the live music from Shutter's Lounge. The outside terrace was pleasant especially tonight. We ordered the udon noodles and I didn't realize it was saturated in sauce and the added the ahi tuna. The presentation wasn't so great and overly sauces, almost thought it was served as a soup dish instead of pan fried noodles. The pork chop skillet was juicy and delicious. The pork belly appetizer was not as slow cooked or tender as I expected it to be. Our server was attentive and pleasant. read more

horrible service. food was brought out 30 mins before our drinks. had to ask 2 times for our drinks. the waiter never checked up on us.

Plantation style setting with a calming vibe. Made reservations to dine at the Naupaka Terrace for my birthday. Being that we flew in from Oahu the morning of and were staying at the Kauai Beach Resort, knew this restaurant would be the restaurant of choice due to convenience and comfortableness. Check in was a breeze. Walked up to the hostess podium and was quickly acknowledged. We chose to sit outdoors, which I'm glad we did. Weather was perfectly breezy with tranquil views of the pool and ocean in the distance, coupled with the koi pond and the last lights of the day fading away. Our waiter was amazing; very approachable and engaging. When he found out we were from out of town, he was sweet to take his time to offer recommendations on local attractions. The other team members who tended to our table at various interims were all warm and welcoming as well. For food, we decided to stick to the "small plates" options along with their sides and cocktails. All items arrived in a timely manner, served with beautiful presentation, and taste we overall enjoyed. Thank you for your hospitality, Naupaka Terrace! read more

Four of us were staying at the adjacent Kauai Beach Villas (timeshare) and had dinner here...it was GREAT! Staff were warm and friendly (our server MaLu was superb, as was the host), efficient ordering, and food delicious. Two had fish, and two had the vegan stir fry with Udon noodles. Desert was their mango sorbet (vegan) and it was absolutely delicious. Restaurant was quiet, with many folks taking food to go. Can't wait to go back. read more

My husband and I stayed at the Outrigger for my cousin's wedding. The servers at the restaurant are really friendly. However the service is really, really slow. The first night we ate here, my cousin actually never got to order because she ended up having to leave before our order was taken due to having to work in the morning. During breakfast my husband had 2 omelets from the buffet before our drinks were served. The food itself is okay. The prices are high for the quality of food. Unfortunately, unless you want to venture outside of the hotel, this is your only option for breakfast and dinner. read more

Was definitely skeptical to try it out based on the reviews, but honestly a great spot! Our waitress Leeana and waiter were very attentive, helpful, and personable when serving us!

Definitely recommend for someone going for good vibes and amazing service :) read more

The ambiance is beautiful, the service is good, and so is the food. The Polynesian French toast was especially tasty.

This was an excellent restaurant in the Kauai Beach Resort where we were staying at. Service was great. Food was absolutely delicious. It was our first dinner on our first night on Kauai. So awesome way to start off our vacation. Everyone of us in my family and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed all of our meals. I remember eating here many years ago when I visited home here and the food was still excellent. They use to have a seafood buffet on weekends but they no longer have it. So this restaurant is still an excellent place to dine at. read more

Since my husband, our 7 year old, and I stayed at Kauai Beach Resort, we ate at the onsite restaurant several times out of convenience. In this area, you have to drive quite a distance to reach any other eateries. I didn't really want to eat here because of how Resort restaurants are always overpriced, but it was just an elevator ride down. The breakfast buffet was around $25/adult and $13/kids. Upon check in at the resort, we were given two $5 off adult buffet coupons so that was cool. The buffet was very basic with maybe the POG juice, fried rice and Portuguese sausage as the only items that gave it an island flair. I opted to order off the menu the next time we had breakfast there and I got the sweet potato skillet. It wasn't what I expected. I thought I was going to get cut up sweet potatoes, maybe even some of the exotic purple Hawaiian ones. Unfortunately I got regular potatoes with frozen sweet potato fries added around my dish! I was not a fan. My husband really wanted their Saturday night Crab and Prime Rib buffet but looking at their spread as we were waiting for a table, I opted not to pay the whopping $65/person. I love my desserts but their desserts at the buffet weren't even anything special. Brownies and soft serve ice cream. For $65, throw in some chocolate haupia pie! Yum! I ordered the furikake crusted salmon off the menu and that was delicious, which is why this review even has 3 stars. Another good thing about this place is that kids get a free entree off the kids menu, with the purchase of an adult entree or buffet. My daughter got a cheeseburger and fries. She pouted because she really wanted the buffet too, but I think kids are charged $35 and she's not a big eater. Just a note that kids don't get a free entree though, if adults use the "$5/off adult buffet" coupons. We had determined after the fact, that it's a better deal to pay full price for the buffets while she gets the free entree but...we were on vacation so whatever! read more

We had to speak manager to correct our bill. The manager was nice and apologetic , saying it was short of staff .
