The menu offers Greek specialties, pasta, a mix of continental entrees, & a variety of sandwiches. I had the skordalia appetizer, which comes with a generous helping of this wonderful potato-garlic dip served with pita bread & garnished with Kalamata olives & pepperocini. Consulting with my friendly server Chloe, I decided on moussaka, a beef, eggplant & potato casserole with both a tomato-based sauce & a bechemel topping. It was even better in leftover form! The portion was large, & the flavors & textures married well. Each element was distinguished, & not mushy at all. Fresh-baked bread is served when you sit down. The decor is inviting & invokes the blue themes seen so often in Greece. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is lack of liquor options. Call ahead & see if they mind if you bring your own. I didn't think of that ahead of time. Good wishes to this establishment.

When planning our elopement in Kauai, I came across an Instagram post from Pau Hana Pours…read morementioning that they could provide mixers or cocktails for elopements. My husband and I love trying new bars and making cocktails at home together, so I immediately reached out. Pau Hana Pours was fun and easy to work with from our first email.

They worked with our other vendors to coordinate the design of the bar and provided recommendations for what liquor to purchase. On the day of our elopement, it felt like meeting old friends. Mercedes and Alana were amazing. The drinks were both delicious and beautiful. I would highly recommend them, and we were so grateful that they could be a part of our big day.

We got married on February 26, 2011 and I must give a hearty shout out to our wedding planner…read moreMarlene Mira, of Mira Mira Events. When my husband and I began planning our wedding we thought we could do everything ourselves. Afterall, my husband grew up on Kauai and I'd been there to visit several times. We'd both visited the venue we'd selected before. What was left to do? We wanted a really simple wedding. Why would we pay someone to plan things when we could do it ourselves? Well, I found out really quickly that trying to sort everything out and get things coordinated was more difficult than we'd anticipated. After attending a friend's wedding, and after talking to the bride the next day about the stresses of getting everything done, my husband was really convinced we should hire someone to help us out. I'd seen Marlene's site and was really impressed. I just had a good feeling about it, compared to the other stuff I'd seen out there. And? She was from Waimea, my husband's home town. I gave Marlene a call and from the very beginning I knew we'd done the right thing. When we contacted Marlene we already had our venue, photographer and our officiant but we didn't have anything fully sorted out. We were having a wedding with over 100 guests in attendance.. not your typical "destination wedding." To make things worse, our venue owner was on "Hawaii time." a lot, which made planning difficult. Marlene was very professional and knew just what needed to be done. She was always very responsive to us and always had great, cost-effective suggestions. It was so nice to have her "on the ground" in Kauai. She helped us plan everything ahead of time, coordinated the rentals, suggested a ceremony/cocktail hour musician and the hair/makeup stylist, and helped us figure out our custom food and drink menus (all local cuisine and beers). Marlene worked tirelessly at setting up a very detailed budget and event plan for us beforehand so we knew exactly what was going to happen in the days leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day, minute-by-minute and exactly how much it was going to cost. All of her recommendations turned out to be spot on. And, Marlene and her staff were at the venue all day on the wedding day working with all of our vendors and setting things up. All we had to do was show up and have a great time! We could not have pulled off this wedding without Marlene and we cannot recommend her enough!

She made what I thought would be an overwhelming or stressful process incredibly easy for us. Suddenly, planning a wedding from another state not only seemed manageable, but rather a positive and fun experience. Marlene is such a little gem... just so sweet, enthusiastic, and a true professional and expert in her work. I felt like she really took the time to get to know us... and was able to flawlessly express our collective ideas into a beautiful, tropical wedding in Kauai. Marlene's connections and the vendors she works with are all so wonderful. They each played a part in creating our dream wedding, though it was Marlene and her team who put all the pieces together perfectly. I could not possibly have had a more positive experience with Mira Mira Events. If you are looking to plan an event in Kauai, we wholeheartedly believe Marlene and her team will create an incredible experience you will never forget.
