Best Live Music Restaurants in Lihue

My wife and I had a fantastic brunch today. The Prime Rib and Eggs Benedict were my favorites. Multiple choices for any taste….salads, shrimp, macadamia nut pancakes, bacon, sausage, rice, potatoes and multiple pastries.

Jay is THE MAN! We had a reservation at 8:30pm for Valentine’s Day and arrived about an hour early to see if they could get us in earlier. We were told no at first due to being fully booked so we got a drink at the bar to wait and hang out until our table was ready. Jay, who appeared to be either a barback or busser, took care of us immediately with his warm and funny charm and asked us if we’d like to sit and eat early. Of course we said yes, so he cleared off a table with lightning speed and in our opinion it was the best seat in the house. It overlooked the cliff and pool area right behind the bar and he was super attentive to us the entire time and ended up being our waiter the whole night. He was super funny, professional, and helpful during our entire meal experience and I would like to give him a huge shout out to making our dinner one to remember. Thank you Jay!

The Valentine's Day buffet was absolutely incredible - I was looking for a place that was offering seafood and at least one potato dish, some of my wife's favourite foods, and Naupaka delivered! We arrived about half an hour before our reservation and were invited to check out the property. There were hula lessons happening, then a Polynesian dance group, and then live music. The variety of food was great! The poke was the best I've ever had, the steak, while all cooked medium or more, was tender and juicy, and there was enough variety that almost anybody would find something they'd fall in love with, and the dessert selection - which included fresh chocolate covered strawberries - was enough to tempt you away from filling up on just entrees. My wife, who hates coffee, wants to give a special shoutout to the mocha mousse, which she snuck out a second of to save for later!

Service excellent. Food very good. Value good. Table could have been better but over all very good experience.

Enjoy the restaurant, was not super busy. The service was excellent . Our server was Marites she was lovely and very attentive to our needs. She had great knowledge about the menu. We had a great conversation about wine. She had good knowledge and recommendations and the reason why. We ordered appetizers shrimp. We ordered pasta and pork. We would order again. The price was fair portions are on large size. Did not order dessert.
