    Mai tai (I think) and Malibu and Diet Coke
    tina a.

    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.

    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!

    We love Kauai Beach Resort! We usually frequent Shutters when visiting but they were closed for renovations. Made way to Naupaka Terrace two nights this trip for dinner and it did not disappoint. The hospitality shown by Leyland, Ryland, and Gina always make us feel right at home.

    Avocado toast

    We ate here for breakfast every morning and had dinner our first night of our arrival. Staff are welcoming and friendly. The breakfast is great. We loved the avocado toast and omelettes.

    Catch of the day

    Food was just amazing The catch of the day fish with mash potatoes was really good. Crab cakes were yum as well

    shrimp ceviche

    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 !

    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.

    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.

    Brioche French Toast
    Keyah C.

    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.

    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.

    Maui Onion Soup - yummy :)
    Cassie J.

    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!

    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.

    Omelette
    Amber G.

    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

    When stopping by Lihue, we were looking for a place where you can get some delicious poke quickly,…read moreand The Fish Express popped up as an interesting option to stop by. We went on a Saturday around lunchtime and it wasn't too busy. There is a small parking lot near the restaurant on the left hand side. It was filled when we first got there, but we were luckily able to get a spot. I could see this lot filling up quickly during other meal rush hours, so do take note if you plan on driving. The ordering is done like your typical poke place, you tell the service worker what you would like and there's a small toppings bar at the end before the cashier. There was a small line when we went, and even with the line, it still only took about 5-10 minutes to get our food. There isn't interior seating in the restaurant though, you will have to get your food take out, or just eat in the parking lot. I got the 3 scoops of poke option for $15.25, and I think that this is a pretty solid deal for the variety of fish that you can try out! I think based on my personal experience on Kaua'i, it will be difficult to get food, especially poke at a reasonable price. But for this price, it's probably the best place on the island to get poke without paying $20+ for the same variety. The fish tasted fresh, and I am a fan of the selection of toppings they had. If you are in the Lihue area and looking to try some poke at a reasonable price, I would recommend The Fish Express! There seems to be a decent amount of other interesting looking options on the menu, and if I'm ever in the area again, I would totally give them a try!

We also ordered the Captain's Combo, which was an interesting combination of two different fish preparations. I think it is a good choice if you are not sure which fish dish you want to try, because it gives you a nice variety on one plate. The only downside was that one of the servers spent about 15 minutes talking very loudly with the table next to us about nothing important. It was distracting and felt inappropriate for the atmosphere of the restaurant. Also, this restaurant seems to be promoted as a place with a view, but in reality the view was not very impressive from where we were seated. Overall, the food and service were good, and I would give it 4 stars. It is a nice restaurant, but there is still room for improvement.

Quite a few people were already seated at the picnic table when we arrived around 11:30am. We were greeted right away and ordered the half chicken with macaroni salad and a roll.
