About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
Experience one of the best restaurants on Kaua'i and enjoy farm-to-table oceanfront dining from the elegant yet relaxed setting at Hualani's. Here, oceanfront dining is influenced by the seasons. What's fresh at The Farm at Hōkūala inspires the farm-to-table menu, while our bar serves up well-balanced craft cocktails that complement the seasonality of the kitchen. Our culinary experience is inspired by a sense of place and driven by local farmers, as well as fresh-picked ingredients from our on-site organic farm. From the morning harvest and the daily catch, Hualani's shines a hyper-local spotlight on the bounty of the Garden Isle.

    On my fourth trip to this wonderful restaurant, my expectations were again met and exceeded. The staff is very personable yet professional. The food is amazing. I have tried a few of the different appetizers now, this being my fourth visit. I am a meat eater so I’ve had the steak courses and they are done to perfection. I have seen some of the seafood dishes at tables near me and they look delectable as well. The restaurant caters to owners in the complex, but I have eaten there four times as a local resident and I’m always treated superbly . I recommend this restaurant to anyone, without reservation.  And, the view is spectacular.

    Great food, excellent service, and the view was amazing! Highly recommend the Mai Tai. The Sea Bass was exquisite and the Mahi was the best I tasted on this trip.

    The location is amazing and the whole fish for two was unbelievably delicious. You must try the papaya/mozzarella caprice salad.

    Beautiful high end restaurant open to a stunning ocean view. Food was excellent. My only ‘quip’ is the charge for a sofa refill. The wife loved it though!

    It's our last night in Kauai and we ended it with dinner at Hualani's. It was by far the best meal we had on the island and we've eaten a lot LOL! I had the Kampachi and hubbie had swordfish. Both were out of this world. Also had short rib potsticker appetizer and banana lumpia for dessert. Not only was all the food amazing, but the service was top notch (thank you Tristan and Ian)! Can't wait to come back.
