From start to finish they were professional and most importantly the food was scrumpdillyicious. All the dishes had balance and layers of flavor. They kept a clean kitchen throughout and cleaned and did the dishes at the end. Highly recommended!!!

Chef Janice is amazing! She prepared two dinners for us at our Poipu house rental for 8 adults and…read moretwo toddlers. She uses fresh local ingredients with a style that is bold in her use of spices and herbs, many of which come from her garden. Our first night we selected off of her Hawaiian Pacific menu, starting with her Ahi Bruschetta with an avocado mouse and her Purple Sweet Potato galettes, then a Farm Fresh Salad to lead into the entrees of Steak and MahiMahi with grilled veggies and an amazing Cauliflower done two ways. Matcha Brownies with Haupia ice cream and a black salt sprinkle brought it all home! The following dinner stepped the flavors even more over the top as we enjoyed her Mediterranean menu. We started with an incredible Mezzo platter including delicious hummus and the freshest, most flavorful feta I have ever had. The menu progressed to include a beautiful salt crusted Red Snapper (see Pix) and concluded with an awesome Strawberry Rose Coconut Cheesecake. Our family has a wide range of tastes and includes some serious foodies (two live in San Francisco and dine out multiple times a week) and all were blown away. Her portions are also very generous, so we enjoyed a full leftover meal the following days. I heartily recommend Farm Cook Kauai for an incredible personal chef dining experience!

I'd go into detail but I recommend you request this dish yourself...Beyond!! For dessert he served a rich flourless chocolate cake with raspberry purée and fresh whipped crème. As full as we already were, we licked our plates. He provided a beautiful description of each course and offered to share recipes! As for housekeeping...he left the kitchen spotless!! He was delightful, told stories of his island life and overall created a dining experience we won't soon forget! Thank you Chef Michael, Cheers!!

Probably the best meal we had in a week long food focused Kauai vacation. The poke was extremely…read morefresh and deliciously seasoned. The Lau Lau was incredibly tender and tasted amazing. The shrimp rolls were packed with flavor and accompanied by a salty and spicy wasabi soy dipping sauce that really elevated the dish. While the fried chicken was great, it was overshadowed for me by the quality of the other dishes we tried there. The staff were extremely friendly and answered our questions and made us feel very welcome. The interior is nothing fancy and there is no on site seating, but there are plenty of great places to eat nearby. We took our meal a block down to Kauai Fruit Company (where we bought several truly amazing containers of fruit to accompany our meal) and sat at their picnic tables.

And take it, somewhere else, to eat. No tables or seats, in this market. We ate ours, in the car, before heading to the airport. It was delicious, really fresh. Opens at 6am, so has that "We just caught this" feel. And not as "Pricey" as some Yelp Reviewers claimed it to be.
