    This was our second dinner at Stevenson's Library and certainly not our last. Excellent service from beginning to end and delicious, healthy food. We sat near the energetic bar but had no problem with noise level. Ordered the miso soup, edamame, shrimp tempura, CA roll, and crunchy roll and it was just the right amount of food.

    The sushi rolls were outstanding. Super fresh fish. Bar service was slow, we got our appetizer before our drinks, even though we ordered the drinks first. Ambiance was ok. We were the first table near the bar area, so felt like we were sitting in a bar rather than a restaurant. Our server was nice, but busy. We enjoyed all the food we ordered.

    Every time we go back to Kauai, we eat at Stevenson's Library in the Grand Hyatt. The sushi is absolutely outstanding. The only sushi we have ever had that was better was in Japan. The most outstanding fish we have ever eaten, Otoro, very fatty blue fin tuna melted in your mouth. We will be in Poipu for 2 weeks and we will eat at Stevenson's 2 times. Not a place to miss!

    Atmosphere was outstanding. We were seated on the terrace and it was cool with a nice breeze. Food was great, nice wine and very subtle lighting which added to the ambiance. Lisa was our server… professional, kind and very attentive. She left a note on our check that was much appreciated… she had no way of knowing my wife had been recently diagnosed with leukemia, and in one word note made us both smile. It was comforting and sweet.

    Started with yummy miso soup. California roll great. Violcano roll a bit spicy, peppers overwhelmed taste. Tempura shrimp good. Chocolate green tea cheesecake dessert was excellent! Wonderful environment and great service.
