   Exceptional food and outstanding service. Can’t say enough about the yummy food. The seabass was extraordinary, the best I’ve ever eaten. Unfortunately it rained so everyone was seated inside, which made it rather noisy. It is quite speedy, but worth it!

   We are residents of Kauai and have been to the restaurant many times over the last several years. Our friends and we have enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere over the years. But tonight was a huge disappointment. We were celebrating a good friends birthday who had never been to the restaurant. We had a 6:30 reservation and were not seated until 7:00. The waiter didn’t come to the table until 7:15. The waiter was rude to my guest when she asked if the shrimp for the coconut shrimp was farm raised. He said all commercial shrimp is farm raised. ( I don’t believe this to be the case) She asked if he could kindly ask the chef. And he said “before or after I bring it out to you?” It was not a pleasant night. And was not what I expected since my previous dinners were good. It was very noisy.

   The food at Hualani’s was great! I had lobster tempura and partner had Onaga. Both were delicious! The Metamorphosis drink was color-changing fun. Service was a little slow (server had a lot of tables) but overall a strong experience.

   Great options on their menu. Our party enjoyed the filet, the dry aged ribeye and the shrimp fettuccine. Great choices for starters, which were also delicious. Beautiful, quiet location on the ocean. Our server was excellent! We would definitely go here again our next time in Kauai.

   Took my aunt here for her birthday lunch. Everything was excellent. You can’t beat the gorgeous view. My aunt had a glass of their Italian Prosecco… was very nice and I don’t even usually like Prosecco!! Menu had some really nice and varied selections. They brought out a special molten lava cake with Kaua’i mud pie ice cream for her at the end of our meal. It was spectacular!! Will definitely be returning.

    Hualani's is quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants on the island. Whenever I dine at Hualani's I am always amazed by the breathtaking views, the delicious food/drinks, and the outstanding service! Ali'i was an amazing server - very friendly, welcoming & knowledgeable about the menu.
