But what really got us all excited was how juicy the Kalua pork sliders were; it ends up dribbling on the plate. The chipotle aioli really pairs well with the pork, and it was also delicious on the Brussels sprouts. Parking is shared with neighboring businesses; a little bit tight, but easy to find.

Food-wise, the buffalo wings and pretzels with beer cheese were perfect for lunch. However, I cannot recommend the poke bowl at all. It didn't taste fresh and was drowning in sauce.

When we sat down though the hostess was not quite the nicest, but still did her job (even if it took a while). When bringing out the food, almost the whole tables were warm, even if it was a $90 steak. I ordered the Duke's Cheeseburger and it was enjoyable. The manager was super nice, and after talking about this with him, he decided to help us out! The ambiance of the place was amazing, and loved the statues and mood the entire time.

We did the picture in front of the huge surfboard to start. We were seated with a view of the bay. Waitstaff was very nice. Keep in mind the front desk is on the opposite side of the restaurant as the bay. We started with ahi sashimi which has become standard at all the restaurants we eat at in Hawaii. LOL. My wife ordered the ahi tuna tacos. I ordered the coconut ginger braised seafood. It has multiple types of fresh fish of the day with lobster. The sauce is just perfect. Filling and flavorful. In the end they gave the hula pie for free for our anniversary. So kind! The twisted version was a mango sorbet. We missed the twisted version with the cookie dough. We ordered the original. Damn it was good. How can you go wrong with hot fudge and ice cream!

And the Hawaiian plate: Kaluah pork, lomi salmon, ahi poke, mac salad, and poi. I'm not a huge poi fan- so I won't comment. But I do love mac salad and theirs is special! Less "wet" from mayo, more on a thicker side-- superb! The braised short rib was melt in your mouth with a great semi glaze and fantastic crust on the meat. It is a sports bar- so the atmosphere is quite lively and loud. Do not expect a quiet dinner. But the patio is less loud.

There were 12 people in the whole place counting us. No rush came. Our waitress corrected my wife on how to say Lychee and totally said it incorrectly. Haha we slid our table over to the right 4 inches so we could see the game better since there was nobody in the table next to us and she came over and slid it back. She later was visibly annoyed at us for not ordering more and said, "Really?! That's it?" When we told her we were good with what we had. Then an little later asked us to move tables because she had another group coming in. We just asked for the check and left. Never coming back.

After our golf plans got canceled, we decided to squeeze in a tasting at Kōloa Rum Company--and…read morehonestly, it ended up being one of our favorite stops of the day. It's located at the beautiful Kilohana Plantation, so even if you're not a big rum drinker, it's worth visiting. You can wander through the gardens, stop by the sweet shop, grab a bite at Gaylord's Restaurant, or catch the luau. It's just a really nice place to spend an afternoon. It's highly recommend making a reservation online. However we couldn't book online, but we called about an hour before and were able to get in. I also had no idea the tasting itself was complimentary, which made the experience even better. Our Rumtender, Randy, was awesome! He walked us through the history of Kōloa Rum, explained each variety, and shared his favorite ways to enjoy them. It felt more like chatting with a friend than sitting through a tasting. Safe to say we were convinced--we ended up bringing home two bottles! Whether you're a rum fan or just looking for something fun and different to do in Kauai, I'd definitely recommend adding this to your itinerary.

Every day is a different experience as they use different rums and premixes. We came on the Mai Tai day with about 10 others. When signing up, it looks like they can sometimes charge, but there was no cost when we signed up. It is located across from a modern shopping area, next to the local highway (not fast). You enter the plantation area that is a wide open flat grass kept area leading to large older building and entertainment like plantation tours, train and restaurant. Drive the little winding path to the left side and there is the Koloa building with a gift shop and tasting room. When you check in at the gift shop you can browse or wait on the porch. They will check ID and confirm no children. In the bar tasting room, you will be given a large shot and then tasters, not more than 2 shots total in liquor. You can ask for water, and you can use one of the two shot glasses to pour any leftovers into if you don't like one of the rums. NO SHARING, it is part of their license requirements. Great rum. I will not explain because that is part of the experience and they do it much better. Friendly staff. No pressure. After the tasting, they offered to take pictures and answer questions. This is a good stop for rainy days or when you are on your way from one side of island to the other. Located on the south side on the main road (highway).

We stopped in and the service staff was very kind, getting us a highchair for the little one, and letting us keep our stroller inside and nearby. I definitely appreciated that there was indoor seating since it was pretty warm outside. We ended up getting the Happy Hour furikake tots, which were nice and crispy (our toddler enjoyed these!) and to drink I got the Pineapple Xpress. The beer was great - not too bitter, and a hint of pineapple, which was pretty unique. To eat I ended up getting a smashburger, and it seems I was so hungry that I didn't get a picture! The brioche bun was great, and I thought it was a good burger (albeit a little small for the price). Overall a great spot to have food and brew - if I wasn't so full of potatoes, I would have definitely tried another beer!

A bunch of class of '86 classmates got together for an informal reunion. It was such a great experience... mainly reconnecting with old friends in a casual local karaoke bar setting. The floorpan is simple. It's one large room with a large bar on the opposite wall from the entrance. From what my friends told me, Troy's doesn't offer any dishes. However, you are allowed to bring your own. There are rows of tables that hints to luau party/community style seating. I also ran into Norvin, the big buffed security guy who is an old buddy from Kauai High School. I believe Troy's may be one of the few places that closes late. Everyone at Troys were having a good time. Positive vibes all da way bruddah.
