I had the shrimp Benedict's, my mom ordered the oxtail soup and everyone else ordered pancakes and bacon. The only reason I'm removing a star is due to service. Henry or Daddy O wasn't as friendly as the rest of the staff. There's only a few people working at this small establishment and when they get busy you can expect not so great service from the waitress and Daddy O. But if you get passed service, the food is delicious.

We heard their patisserie selections are so popular crowds form before they open every day.

Exceptional friendly and efficient service. Although the restaurant is across the highway from the ocean, our table afforded a view to the ocean.

Not the bartenders specifically but the management is clearly not helping the bartenders have enough time to take care of the peeps at the bar. They are carrying the whole place it seems like... I mean to say they are busy busy busy and the glasses are empty because they can't keep up! More bar tenders would help a TON or relieve the pressure from the restaurant drinks. Food is good... location is off the hook, terrific ambiance... but you could have an AA meeting at the bar, make sense? I'll be back, but... If this bar was anywhere but where it is... it would be my second choice to hang... hope it make sense Side note, I love live music, they had it! ++++ but hard to hear because the bar acoustics are awful

He truly went above and beyond by celebrating with us and even surprised us with a complimentary dessert to mark the occasion. The Food: Everything was a 10/10. Unagi Roll: Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Tuna Lover Special: My friend absolutely loved this; the quality of the fish was top-tier. Chocolate Lava Cake: This was the perfect finish to the night--decadent and delicious. The combination of authentic flavors and world-class service makes this a must-visit. We will definitely be returning with the entire family soon! Mahalo again, "O," for making our celebration unforgettable!

There is a large parking lot leading to two buildings, the right is the restrooms and proshop and the left is the restaurant with covered outdoor seating in the back. The order counter has a nice video menu display where you can review selections. There were many locals coming in for the food, not necessarily golfing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our food was fresh and tasted great. I had the early breakfast which is an egg anyway, a meat (corned beef hash) and a bread (English muffin). My wife had the everything bagel Lox with salmon. Both plates were brought to the table with utensils by staff. Presentation was nice with orange garnish. We were checked on regularly with our coffee. Corned beef was mostly potato, but still tasty. Quiet today, with average conversation noise. Clean, restrooms needed a little assistance. If you want a nice off the beaten path location, that is quiet in the early morning and a reasonably priced, then this is a nice local stop.

On the other, I want them to get the business they deserve, so I won't gatekeep: you must eat here if you are looking for a truly special meal when visiting Kauai. For many years, Merriman's held the top spot for Mai Tais on the islands for me, but Hualani's just stole the crown, in this reviewer's humble opinion. Perfectly balanced with an out of this world macadamia nut dusted rim. And it's a truly special restaurant too. It's the first place we go when we land, tucked in The Timbers close the airport, you can go from airport to relaxing poolside with a spectacular view in 5 minutes. Service is absolutely top notch - every server, every bartender, every person we spoke to on property was a seasoned pro and a delight to interact with. The food is spectacular. We've had a few items over the years that we just can't get out of our head, the crispy rice poke and the short rib potstickers especially. It's not an inexpensive meal, but if you think of it as renting yourself an hour or two of unpretentious luxury, it's a screaming deal.

They were open for an additional 30 minutes but were already cleaning up for the day with no indoor seating accessible. We ordered Toreo Boba which my oldest liked. It's a mix of Taro/Ube and Oreo for a cookies/cream smoothie. I ordered Pineapple Lover - tasted like I was drinking perfume and was overly sweet. I ended up tossing it as it was not drinkable. Hubs ordered Pina Colada with Boba and he felt the same, overly sweet. Service was nice hence the 2 stars. Maybe it was an off night for them. Suggest asking to adjust the sweetness if you can if you want to try beverages here.
