Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Kalaheo

This is our fourth trip to Kauai and the first time visiting this restaurant and the plantation grounds. By far after a week here on the island, this was our best meal hands-down. The Crudo appetizer is absolutely phenomenal and the best we've ever had anywhere.  The fresh catch of the day entrée was equally phenomenal as were the craft cocktails we had. We sat at an outside table looking out to the plantation grounds, which are beautiful and I recommend outside seating if you can get it. This restaurant was a complete surprise to us so I am hoping this review will entice some of you to put this on your list as this will be a definite stop for us going forward every time we visit the island. 

The staff from valet to host to wait staff and everyone in between were all wonderful. Our waitress, Courtney was so welcoming and friendly, even insisted on taking family photos after our meal. We never felt rushed and even though it was a little warm and sunny out, the staff never did complain and told us to make sure we took the time to look around (had spotted whales and pointed out where they had been). A wonderful Christmas dinner, the food was outstanding!

I love everything about this restaurant. The food is extraordinary and the service could not have been better. It was the best way to wrap up our vacation in Kauai. I’d highly recommend it.

I recently dined at here and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s clear that they take pride in creating a welcoming and seamless dining experience. The ambiance was equally impressive.

The food was fantastic. We had the filet, short ribs and grilled catch of the day. My daughter has a nut allergy so the manager was kind enough to ask chef to make an exception to his plate regarding her entree. Thank you!! It was delicious! Everything was fantastic! Try the fillet and the homage sorbets, they are wonderful!! Great atmosphere and wonderful friendly staff. Thank you for such a nice experience! We will be back!! ❤️❤️❤️
