A friendly and local brewery restaurant with live music and great brews…read more We arrived late after doing the canyon. Tired, we came into a loud band on the porch outdoor area. (Note live music in Kauai seems to be loud all around) we yelled to the host that we wanted inside seating. We were seated quick. Staff checked on us often and offered insights on the locality. I got a flight of decent brews, and my wife got a special drink made up for her as recommended by staff. We ordered a pizza which was enough for four people. Great taste, and not a long wait. This is the most western brewery in the USA, and it is a great watering hole when cruising the southside of Kauai. Recommend the strong local vibe and friendly staff. It is a bar first, then an eatery. I wish I had more time to look upstairs as there seems to be a lot of retro pinball machines somewhere. I hope to make it back.

My brothers Ono Keokis style was sooo ONO! However, the Okinawan sweet potato mash that came with it was not complimentary and too sweet to pair with the delicious fish. Regular mashed potatoes or rice would've been better we think. What put the whole experience over the top, though, was our super attentive and friendly waitress Charlene. She was so sweet to our baby and made such a pleasant and comfortable experience for us all. The live music was a nice touch. Don't forget to order the Hula Pie for dessert. Seeeeriously yummy. We looked around and almost every table gets it, and now we know why.

We started with their Mai tai's which I think are the best Mai tai's on the island (I know, fighting words). We then started with their Maui onion soup which everyone in my family loves. I got the macadamia nut crusted dish of the day which was swordfish. It was great! Absolutely loved the sauce for the dish. And of course we finished with a hula pie. You have to have one! They have parking, but the lot can get pretty full, just a heads up. Thanks for another great meal here!

The sammich just didn't pack the level of flavor that one would expect. It came with a side of fries, which were actually not bad and pretty tasty. They were a little on the oily side but honestly, I wasn't even mad at that since I needed some flavor to come from somewhere. Food aside, the vibe of this place was definitely off. The person taking our order did not seem the be the friendliest person and came off rather stand-offish. Lastly, buyers beware. If you let it be known that you will be splitting a food item, they will charge you an additional $2.50. Typically, when places do this, it comes with a larger portion for each split of the dish, but this was not the case for us. They took the normal portion, charged as the additional fee, and have us no extra food. 2/5 and would not come back.

I gotta say, I generally don't like grabbing food for take-out, it just doesn't taste as good, nor is it as fresh, but this place was worth it. My girlfriend called ahead and found they had a pretty long wait time. Sucked for us, but it's a good sign when there's a line out the door of people waiting to be seated. I was only inside a brief moment to pick up the food, but staff was very friendly, and the hustle and buzzle of the place gave this brunch spot that air of "you will clean your plate, you will eat too much, and you will like it." We decided on the Kauai Benedict and it was phenomenal. Egg's were on point in flavor and texture, the sweet roll worked as the perfect vessel for the flavors, and the kahlua pork was fantastic, cooked well, and seasoned flawlessly. To top it all off, they honored our request for extra crispy hash browns. It really does make one wonder, how much better would things have been if we didn't have to order for take out and we had the chance to dine in? 5/5 experience.

They also had a live band playing, which created a fun atmosphere and it looked like a lot of people were really enjoying themselves. If you're just looking for a quiet place to sit and eat, though, it can get a bit loud, nothing against the live music, just something to keep in mind depending on what kind of dining experience you're looking for. The ahi nachos were a bit disappointing for us. The ahi itself was fresh and tasted great, but the "nachos" were actually more like fried wontons instead of traditional nacho chips, which felt a little odd and just wasn't really our thing. It would've helped if that was disclosed on the menu or if the server gave a quick heads up beforehand so expectations were clearer. On the positive side, the Tempura Ahi Bites were our favorite dish out of everything we ordered, definitely the standout item for us. The rib plate was also decent with satisfying portions overall.

As of this moment, there is construction fencing around the grounds, so it was hard to find this place from the road if you're not staying at this hotel, but parking seemed plentiful. And then you have to walk towards the pool and past the snack shop to find it. The host stand is also outdoors away from the patio. Avocado Toast was yummy, but a little slippery: the sliced tomatoes that sat on top of the sliced avocados slid right off and onto the table, so a fork and knife is recommended.
