Best Authentic Restaurants in Kapaa

I heard of this restaurant last year & never made it around to check it out until recently making a reservation for me & my other half for date night. I think the food is phenomenal, I got the filet mignon which was served with truffle potato pure (mashed potatoes) w/baked pearl onions & cut mushrooms which was a solid 10/10, perfect medium rare by the way. I order it every single time. My other half liked the Miso Carbonara & loved the Kauai Shrimp Caesar (w/out shrimp) he says the wasabi Caesar dressing was very tasty. We like to sit at the bar, it's quicker service & the seating isn't as cramped. I like to recognize Casey our bartender, his work ethic & service is 11/10, bar is clean, neat & bar presentation is on point. Since its a small restaurant, with only 2 cooks in the front serving a full house makes the seating & wait time for food pretty long. I recommend making an early reservation time definitely before 7:30pm. Me & my other half are becoming regulars here. As a Native Hawaiian & Island Concierge I'll definitely be referring people.

Chef Mitch dedicates his time and energy to ensuring you are receiving the best service and the highest quality of food. This man is a one man show, and his service and cooking was incredible. Everything is so meticulously crafted and the delivery of food is so thought out. He also has his own farm in Kaua’i so it is truly farm to table. He respects the food of Kaua’i and it is shown throughout the entire course. Thank you Chef Mitch for providing such a wonderful experience during our stay, we will be back for the fish course in the future!

Wonderful Valentine’s Day experience. My wife and I were both disappointed that the veal shipment did not come in but quickly pivoted to the same preparations we wanted, but with chicken. My wife had the chicken Marsala and I had the chicken with the porcini sauce. The sides that came with both dinners were excellent with the au gratin potatoes, carrot soufflé and fresh veggies. Both were excellent. My wife topped off dinner with a caramel custard and I had the profiteroles which was a delightful way to end our evening.

Great drinks and food, bartenders and servers were all very nice and attentive. Service was quick. Quality of food was very good but Caesar dressing was a bit weird ((I still ate it) and I don’t think pickled onions belong on a Caesar even tho I like pickled onions. The servings were generous. Wings and fish and chips were yummy.
