About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • 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.

    Beautiful setting over looking the ocean - inside and outside are lovely areas Nice hula show on Friday We were here several times last year however this visit some entrees were disappointing-fish over cooked - wish my husband had spoken up My kale avocado salad came late and had almost no avocado - dish came recommended by server Was just a mountain of kale. The curry dish was tasty and we added shrimp Maybe an off night - used to be one of our favorites

    We stuck with pupus for dinner with a spicy margarita to drink. Every pupu was absolutely delicious. By far the best food we had on the island. Our waitress was also pleasant and efficient. At the beginning of our stay, there was a male singer and some hula dancers. We were very happy when the singing finally stopped because it was too loud and grating. The excellent food and service made up for it. Absolutely stunning setting as well.

    All the food was fantastic. The farm to table experience is worth a visit even if you have to drive to get there. The Sea Bass is a must, it’s amazing. Took 3 teenagers so it got a bit pricey, but everyone needs at least one good meal on vacation. I’d go back for sure!

    Fabulous atmosphere. Service was wonderful and the view is incredible. The food was good, but not great for the price. In my opinion, you are paying for the experience more than the food. I would go there again!

    Location and food were amazing. Food came out a little fast though for a higher-end experience. Apps came out almost immediately. Great spot - better pacing on the meal though would be nice.
