This restaurant is run by people who love really good food and that comes through in every app, every entree and OMG don't miss the mango tiramisu. Ended up dining here three nights this week, which is to say every night we ate out instead of cooking at our rental, we came here. Small, quaint space but absolutely the best restaurant on the North shore, yes beating Barracuda by a mile.

Expansive menu from simple but very tasty pesto penne to a variety of fish and wagyu entrees. One of our crew is vegan with some very specific food requirements and chef Kelly worked with him to tailor a meal for him. Our server Pat was very kind, giving excellent service and as a local great advice and insights. We particularly enjoyed the scallop appetizer, the portobello entree and the chocolate mousse! Good wine selection as well. We will be back!

Best food I've had so far on the island. Unique takes on classic dishes (don't just believe me, try…read moretheir Mac-and-cheese bites!). 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. The cocktails/mocktails are also very unique and delicious. Wait staff was attentive and helpful, even with a tree nut allergy at the table. I would recommend making reservations and having this as a must-eat location in Northern Kauai!

We also tried the fried mac and cheese, which was even better than expected. The place has a really cool vibe. I wasn't big on the drinks, but that's more on me since I'm not much of a whisky fan. If you are, the mai tai would probably be right up your alley. Overall, the food and service were on point at a reasonable price. It definitely felt like we got great value for our dinner.

It's your one stop shop for drinks of every variety, snacks, musubis and their awesome souvenir tees & hats. I bought 4 tee shirts. 2 were gifts.... They loved the tees as one I gave to my dad. He wears it all the time. My girl bought a hat. She loves it. It's perfect for the beach. Love the old logo. Love the new logo. The older gentleman that was manning the register was super cool. Not sure, he might be the manager or the owner. He asked us whereabouts we were visiting from and we told him Southern California but that I was originally from San Francisco. He was telling us he used to work the fishing boats up and down the California coast. We enjoyed talking to him and hope to see him when we return next year to Hanalei town. Located right in the middle of town on the main drag along Kuhio Highway. Just after Titus Kinimaka's Quiksilver store and before the plaza BIllabong (AI Forever) is in. Cant miss it. Parking out front. Make sure you stop in and buy something.

Only negative is that the selection of local hard seltzer was really lacking, we found there to be much more variety at local grocery stores. (they had a wide selection of "Big Seltzer" (Truly, White Claw) though) They do have some decent HI-brewed canned beer though. (such as Maui Brewing's Pilsner, pictured)

The cocktails were OK and overpriced (welcome to Hawaii) the food was spot on - good burgers, good pizza. The walk back was pretty dark and there was limited signage, but we managed!
