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.

    Hualani’s has a fantastic view. We saw whale blows during dinner. We both ate the filet. They were cooked perfectly. The carrots and mashed potatoes were excellent. Service staff were attentive.

    We had a wonderful experience. The restaurant sits oceanfront with a beautiful panoramic view. Our server Breena was outanding . We ordered the crispy octopus and catch of the day which was opakapaka with a pineapple Salsa and a lovely glass Kussler Chardonnay. Both dishes were perfectly prepared and delicious. We will definitely return when we are back on this island.

    We always enjoy an evening at Hualani’s - be it Happy Hour or a lovely dinner. Celebrated my birthday last night and the three of us had a wonderful experience. As always - the views are stunning (saw some whales) and the service and food are impeccable. Started with our favorite appetizer - Ahi Sashimi. Fantastic. Cocktails - I always enjoy their Old Fashioned and my daughter LOVED their special martini (I tried it - fantastic!). As it is Winter and a bit chilly (we joke - but we wished we had long sleeves last night as we have acclimated since we moved here a few years ago) - we all loved the French Onion soup. Dinners included some favorites: my wife had the curry and my daughter had the filet - both very tasty. I decided to not get my regular favorite (Dynamite Kona Kampachi) and instead went with the Prawn Fettuccine - and added a side of lobster. It was quite nice - though I did miss the Kampachi as it is one of my favorite island meals.

    Lauren was great - took very good care of us and even offered to take pics for us since the ambiance outside was gorgeous. We ordered from the pupus menu; coconut shrimp, watermelon salad and whole fried kampachi. All great. Will definitely come back
