Lasagna, sauce good. Pasta was hard and overdone on top layover of one side.
June L.

TL;DR highlights: The food was ok. Pasta good, tad underdone. Lasagna overdone. Do not order the $55 steak. The service was slow. They were understaffed and poorly managing the seating. One waiter was trying to serve tables, seat tables, and run food -- which is impossible. Full review: The best part was the mozarella sticks. Steak is overpriced, too salty, too much fat and gristle in the cut we had. For $55 we expected a cut we could eat. We asked for the sauce on the side which revealed just how much they over-salted the steak. If it had been drenched in sauce, that would have masked the salt quite a bit. The rigatoni pasta sauce was very tasty and fresh. Some of the past was a tad underdone. The lasagna was also tasty, but pasta was hard and overdone on top layover of one side. It's a deconstructed pasta layered and cooked when you order it. Did not appear to be a slice cut from a large pan, which is ok. It just needed to be cooked well, not hard. Took quite a long time to get our server back to close is out so we just handed them our bill going it was correct -- it was, thankfully. The table next to us walked out before ordering.

Kids pizza maybe 6" and $14.

We wanted a quick dinner so we ordered takeout from B's. We ordered a kids pizza $14 and an everything pizza $34. They then make you give them a tip and they charge you 3% to use a credit card. The total bill was over $60 for the 2 very small pizzas. The pies were good but nothing to write home about. From my experience in ordering pizza, this is very expensive for what you get. You be the judge based on the photos.

Rigatoni Bolo

Stood at the front desk for 15-20 minutes before I was acknowledged. Once I was, I said I wanted to order to-go. I was told to sit at the bar to wait for server. After sitting there another 10 minutes, the bartender asked for my order. 30 minutes later, I received my food and the bartender explained that they add a 10% gratuity for to-go orders. Food: Disappointed. The pasta tastes like chickpea pasta and has a weird texture/aftertaste. Paid $30...

Very nice ! Didn't expect such a beautiful, trendy spot on the other side of the front doors. We stopped in the night of the Night Market. We shared a delicious salad Godesss. Our Bespoke pizzas came out quickly and perfectly topped. So nice to have Athletic IPA on the menu for hoppy pairing of pizza without buzz. Fabulous service

We were looking for hamburgers. This was the last place close to our resort. The hamburgers, fries and pizza were awesome and tasty. The service was exceptional. Thank you for making one of our last nights in Kauai memorable. Next time we are out here, this will definitely be one of our go to places.

If you go: make a reservation, don't plan to arrive early and get a drink at the bar on a busy night, keep your fingers crossed that you get Natalie as your server. This past Sunday night was packed at B's and luckily we had a reservation. We arrived about 20 minutes early and the hostess agreed that getting a drink at the bar before our table was ready would be good. At the bar,we waited several minutes to be greeted. We could tell things were busy so we didn't mind. When the bartender finally came our way, I made the mistake(?) of saying that we were just getting a drink before our table was ready. That yielded many rude comments during our time at the bar. We tried to order easy drinks and agreed for our check right away to help her out, but unfortunately she didn't see it that way. I understand things get busy. I understand that customers wanting more than one drink are ideal. But neither is an excuse for rude comments. Once we got to our table, we had a lovely evening. Natalie was the best server we could ask for. We had the calamari, a (not-so) little gem salad, beef cheeks for him and pesto & burrata for me. I would've liked a little spice in my dish, but other than that everything was delicious. Including the sticky toffee bundle cake dessert.

Chili Pepper Margarita
Kami M.

We stopped in after dinner just for drinks at the bar, and it was such a fun stop. The chili pepper margarita was off the charts delicious with the perfect spicy kick, and the mojitos were tasty too. The atmosphere is excellent, and it's clear that the place has been well-maintained. It feels modern, fresh, and lively without being overly extravagant. We didn't eat this time, but after seeing the food and pizza go by, we'll definitely be back to try it next time.

B's Kitchen was a pleasant surprise during our last visit in July. As it was in very close proximity to where we were staying, we ended up here after a day of beach hopping and exploring the island. At first we thought maybe we were just really hungry, but by the end of the meal after having the tiramisu that was made at the table, we concluded the food was really that good. So good that we almost went back the next day but we had a full list of restaurants to visit so we ended up not making it back. That being said, this will be a spot for us to visit for every Kauai trip. Service was friendly and efficient, the restaurant has a really relaxing vibe with lots of open space and cute decor. Pros: Delicious pizza and desserts, friendly staff, cozy setting Cons: N/A

Our first visit with 6 people was disappointing, the service was slow, they lost our order, food okay. I found out from the manager Julie (or Julia) he was a new server, which explained the problems. The hamburger was was overcooked, the caesar salad with chicken is a small serving and nothing special. Our friends were happy with their pizza. On our second visit with 19 people, the service was FANTASTIC, and we ordered pizza, which was pretty good. I recommend the pizza. Others were happy with their various pastas. I had a Mai Tai and it was different than the usual, but really good and not sweet. Worth a try. Over all my impression is your server is key, it is easy to get in and a group of 6 or more you can make a reservation. They are so close to being a good restaurant, I hope they can up their game for everyone. The Princeville location is so convenient, I want this place to be successful, but I understand it is hard to get employees in Kauai. It is worth visiting, but with moderate expectations.

Sensational food and service to match. You almost feel like you're eating in someone's home. We…read moretend to dine later in the evening which was good in that it wasn't crowded in the restaurant but bad in that they'd already sold out in a couple items. I ended up choosing the vongole e gamberetti which was a nice blend of fresh seafood and spaghetti in a zesty broth. However, m'lady got the spaghetti bolognese and I'm telling you: this is the best, most flavorful, freshest bolognese I've ever tasted. I only got 2 bites and had to play it cool because, well, I made the choice I did. I was effusive in my praise afterwards and everyone who worked there concurred and said I was just the latest to discover this incredible dish! If you enjoy this dish, trust me: it's better than any other kind you've had in the past. After the meal, we met another waiter and chatted with him about the restaurant, recipes, and this neighborhood. Just as friendly as everyone else. Make it a point to stop here and get that bolognese!

This was our second time visiting BV's, and it definitely won't be our last…read more Service: I'm honestly not sure where the bad reviews are coming from. Both times we visited, the waitstaff was incredibly courteous, attentive, and greeted us with warm, beautiful smiles. Food & Drinks: The Cheeseburger: Extremely juicy, perfectly cooked, and topped with fresh condiments on a beautifully toasted bun. The fries were extra crispy, delicious, and perfectly salted. We paired the burger with the Island Lager. It had a very crisp, clean taste that complemented the meal perfectly. Highly recommended! On our second night, we tried the pizza. Being from California, we're spoiled with some amazing wood-fired pizza places, but hands down--this pizza was absolutely delicious. The dough was soft and clearly handmade rather than ready-made, and the cheese and pepperoni were fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend BV's for both the fantastic food and the stellar service!

I gave this place 2 stars because the service was fantastic, but the food was more of a half star…read moreexperience. This place has an extensive Italian menu, and a huge drink menu showcasing a vast collection of bourbon. All of which is wildly overpriced, which is to be expected in this context. No complaints there. It's the Italian menu. Well, not really the menu...the cooking is horrific. We ordered a Hawaiian BBQ chicken pizza. A 16" thin crust which should have been a nice treat on an island with no shortage of fresh chickens and pineapple, and with a solid love of BBQ. The waitress was friendly and I was very optimistic. We also ordered some salad. The food came out quickly. First the salad. The lettuce was flimsy. The salad dressing was tasteless. It was basically some limp green lettuce and coarse chopped bell peppers. The salad was disappointing, to say the least - you have to seriously not give a rip to make a salad that boring. Then the main event! The pizza arrived. Complete with that nifty metal rack thing they bring out so that your pizza seems to hover over your table. The table did not have red pepper flakes, extra cheese or even salt and pepper - which I figured was a good sign. It looked OK: small chunks of chicken spread thinly across a 16" pizza, with small pineapple chunks (all of which were strangely uniform in size) and a pretty generous splattering of BBQ sauce mixed into the melted mozzarella. I sliced myself a slab of that pie and got ready to eat! One bite told me everything I needed to know. The uniformly shaped pineapple chunks had that telltale slightly metallic flavor because...IT CAME FROM A CAN! Hawaiian sacrilege! Then the BBQ sauce hit. I couldn't tell if it was from unsold McRib sandwiches, KC Masterpiece, or a jug of plain wrap BBQ SAUCE from the Big Save Market. It wasn't good. Then I reached the crust, which seemed like it came out of one of those Pillsbury tubes you get at the store and smack on your kitchen counter to get it to pop open. Nice for wrapping hot dogs for 7 year olds, not so great for pizza dough. The Hawaiian criminal code should include a felony for serving canned pineapple to unsuspecting pizza eaters. Bobby V's doesn't even have a beautiful Hawaiian vibe going for them. The ambiance is the disastrous hell hole called the Coconut Marketplace - a pointless commercial development where they ripped out real Hawaii and built simulated Hawaii. There are several other restaurants walking distance from this place, and even a McDonald's that's not so that far away; even the egg salad from a dispenser in the men's room at a nearby gas station is probably better than the pizza we ate (and it might make you a genius!) While attempting to eat a piece of their awful pizza - I watched as several plates of very overcooked pasta were served at nearby tables. The pasta was clearly very mushy and it didn't smell very good either. Perhaps they serve good desserts, depending on what's on sale at Costco. The beer was good...but someone else made that. Don't just skip Bobby V's, run! Run! And warn the others. I'm an absolutely hard pass on this place and you should be too. UPDATE: We got home from our trip and put together a Costco pizza kit for a late dinner. It was 10X better than Bobby V's pie, and cost about $3.
