3610 Rice Street (at the Marriott) Kauai, HI 96756 United States +1 808 246 9599 http://www.dukeskauai.com/ |
Experience a little piece of "Old Hawai'i." This Lihue restaurant is located inside the Kauai Marriott Resort and offers the best of Pacific Rim cuisine, along with outstanding ambiance and beautiful views. The restaurant is comprised of two floors and has an enchantingly tropical ambiance, complete with a small indoor waterfall. A canopy of lush foliage adds to the effect, and even the indoor dining area gives the impression of being open air. Take your time having a drink in the casual bar area or looking over the menu. The house specialty is fresh local fish, prepared any way you like. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Graceful plantation home |
3-2087 Kaumuali'i Highway (at Kilohana Plantation) Kauai, HI 96766 United States +1 808 245 9593 http://www.gaylordskauai.com/ |
Although it's one of the top wedding locations on Kauai, this place is equally popular with people who aren't currently (or ever) thinking of matrimonial bliss. Just about anyone can find something to enjoy, whether it's the comfortable plantation decor, the fresh seafood or the impressive wine list. Signature items include Seafood Rhapsody and Chicken Kauai. Gaylord's also does the cooking for the Kilohana Luau that takes place Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30p. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Nautical nuances |
5-5016 Kuhio Highway Kauai, HI 96714 United States +1 808 826 6113 |
Large portions and a cozy, tropical setting are the key features of this Hanalei eatery. Although the interior of the restaurant sports captain's chairs and other nautical accessories, it manages to avoid the hokey atmosphere characteristic of the average ocean-themed restaurant. The clientele here is mixed. Dress is casual to elegant, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Fish is the specialty, prepared just about any way you like. Prices are relatively high, but portions are sizable and most meals can be split. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fresh, fabulous, made-to-order |
1941 Poipu Road Kauai, HI 96756 United States +1 808 742 6434 |
Boasting "Kauai's largest seafood selection," this South Side eatery offers 10 fish specialties nightly. Everything on the menu is locally caught and painstakingly prepared. Many of Hawaii's fish have names mainlanders have not heard of, so do not be shy about asking questions; friendly, well-informed staff members are more than happy to answer them. Nightly specialties are always worth checking out. Bouillabaisse, paella and cioppino are constants on the menu. The dining room is relaxed with an upbeat atmosphere. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Situated beside one of the hotel's tropical lagoons, this pleasant, popular restaurant offers a varied menu of American grill favorites. The selection includes everything from inexpensive pizzas to lobster. Fresh catch is always a good bet. The Sunday Brunch is a sumptuous buffet affair that any visitor to Hawai'i should experience at least once. A separate children's menu is available. Reservations are recommended for larger parties.

Deliciously affordable |

If not everybody in your group is in the mood for fish, check out the menu here. You will find a lengthy selection of chicken, ribs and steaks. However, seafood is the specialty. This local grill and bar is family owned and operated, and is a dedicated supporter of the Hawaiian fishing industry. Ask about the seafood specials. A variety of fresh, local fish is available. If weather conditions are favorable, which they usually are, you can enjoy your meal on the open-air patio. The ambiance here is comfortably casual. Review © 2007, Wcities |

For the King in us |
2253 Poipu Road Kauai, HI 96756 United States +1 808 742 2121 http://www.pgrestaurant.com/ |
Surrounded by the lovely Moir Gardens at the Kiahuna Plantation Resort, the restaurant is like an idyllic getaway with outdoor lanai seating and views of lush gardens. It serves authentic Hawaiian cuisine, and the vegetables are grown organically and sourced from local farmers. All the food is cooked on traditional Kiawe - a mesquite wood which adds flavour to the food. Try the local fare especially the catch of the day, like Seafood Lau Lau ($22.95), Steamer Basket with Hawaiian snapper ($21.95) or the Hawaiian Hot pot, sugar cane skewered shrimp and scallops ($22.95). Dessert start from $6-$7. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Savory artful seafood |
5-5075 Kuhio Highway Kauai, HI 96714 United States +1 808 826 1191 http://www.postcardscafe.com/ |
Hailed by some as the finest healthy gourmet in Hawaii, this cozy little cottage cafe is a favorite among visitors and locals alike. It offers fusion cuisine with an emphasis on seafood and vegetarian options. Customer service is another specialty of the quaint cafe, and staff members will see to it that guests feel at home in the vintage-style dining room. Though there is no lunch, breakfast is served until the late morning hours every day. The casually elegant spot takes on a more formal atmosphere during dinner hours. Blackened ahi is one of the more popular entrees; taro fritters are a distinctly local pupu and well worth sampling. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fantastic Pacific Rim cuisine |
2360 Kiahuna Plantation Drive Kauai, HI 96756 United States +1 808 742 5000 http://roys.know-where.com/roy... |
There are many celebrated chefs in Hawai'i, but Roy Yamaguchi is gradually surpassing all of the competition to become the dining scene's brightest star. His Kaua'i restaurant, like all the other Roy's restaurants in the islands, consistently earns top marks with guests and local diners. Distinctive and delicious Pacific Rim creations are served in a bustling location on the South Shore. The menu changes almost daily, but you can count on sampling the very best island seafood, produce, meats and sweets. The extensive wine list includes a dozen vintages from Roy's own label.

2440 Hoonani Road (Sheraton Kauai) Kauai, HI 96756 United States +1 808 742 1661 |
Situated in the stunning Sheraton Kauai, this restaurant makes the most of its locale in more than one way. The menu features a panoply of exotic seafood items, most of them caught in waters just offshore and paired up with island veggies. The location of the restaurant—oceanfront on the gorgeous southern shore—cannot be beat for drama or romance. This restaurant is a favorite of tourists and locals. Try the seafood buffet held on Friday nights. Review © 2007, Wcities |
