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.

    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!

    Every time we dine here we have a great experience. The food is excellent!! Got to give credit to the chef for creating a wonderful, well rounded menu - something for everyone. The staff is professional and their recommendations are always appreciated. The view is spectacular. This is by far a special place, one of my favorite restaurants on Kauai!

    The outdoor setting is marvelous, especially at night. Food is always top quality and well-prepared. We’ve celebrated our wedding anniversary here two years in a row, and each time we were treated with a beautiful complementary dessert. My one complaint is the music is awfully loud and intrusive. When we’re dining alone or with friends it’s hard to have a conversation.

    On my fourth trip to this wonderful restaurant, my expectations were again met and exceeded. The staff is very personable yet professional. The food is amazing. I have tried a few of the different appetizers now, this being my fourth visit. I am a meat eater so I’ve had the steak courses and they are done to perfection. I have seen some of the seafood dishes at tables near me and they look delectable as well. The restaurant caters to owners in the complex, but I have eaten there four times as a local resident and I’m always treated superbly . I recommend this restaurant to anyone, without reservation.  And, the view is spectacular.
