- MmjVIPHawaii •10 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoHualani's not only had a beautiful atmosphere but also the food was outstanding. We had five starters and all were incredible but if I had to say, which was best, it was the lobster tempura and the scallops. The Wagyu steak and lobster was delicious followed by a warm chocolate molten cake with peppermint ice cream.  We are absolutely returning here. Tristan was an attentive server as well.More infoHualani'sPrice: Very Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Lihue•4.8

Definitely, go and spend some time walking around in addition to enjoying the delicious gourmet menu…it was not inexpensive but the splurge was worth it!More infoThe Plantation House by GaylordsPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Lihue•4.7
- MMikelleUtah •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoI took my small family of 3 here for Christmas Eve dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced all things considered. Everything tastes fresh and professionally prepared. Service was a little delayed due to the holiday, but we were overall very pleased with our dinner. Amazing food, beautiful view, and a really welcoming ambiance. We will happily return should the occasion ever arise. The Hula Pie is literally to die for and makes a great addition to any dish you order. All in all, a great experience for me and my family!More infoDuke's KauaiPrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Lihue•4.6

Discover Lihue
Lihue, the capital city of the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, is home to arguably the most diverse array of restaurants on the island. The restaurants in Lihue serve everything from authentic Italian cuisine to organic pescatarian food to "ono local grindz." However, all of the local eateries have something in common: the fresh seafood. The locally caught shrimp is especially popular with visitors. Known throughout the Hawaiian Islands as some of the tastiest shrimp around, the shrimp of Kauai is much sweeter and softer than the shrimp sold at mainstream grocery stores. As a special surprise, Kauai shrimp is usually served with the head on.
