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.

    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.

    Had our Anniversary dinner here. Staff was attentive without being overbearing. Appetizers were delicious, and appropriately portioned. Used local fare when possible. Entrees were fantastic (Seabass with Miso butter and Jasmin rice - don’t love Bok Choy, but it worked). Views are amazing, didn’t see any “bad” tables. 100% will come again!
