Kenneth was an excellent server and the manager Makani came around to see how our dinner was going. The sashimi was excellent, my fried Tai was excellent, and my wife enjoyed the fish trio. The desserts were tasty and capped off the dinner perfectly. We are definitely planning to come back when we have the chance.

Lihue

About the restaurant

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.

Really good food! Little warm for me but not unpleasant. The signature cocktail (Mai tai?) was delicious and they called it a different name and it definitely wasn’t a traditional Mai tai. $180 for 6 of us seemed like a lot but also not unreasonable for Maui. Awesome place to stop for lunch after a pineapple tour across the street.

The Eggs Benedict at Cane and Canoe are no doubt the best in Maui, we often come for their amazing Spa at Montage, but always have breakfast here. I would like to mention just one thing that is not great, the coffee. We have great coffee in Hawaii, and they should get a better cup of local Maui coffee from our local coffee Roaster. Service is always very attentive here, and is a beautiful setting.
