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.

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.

I think next time she would add back another sauce like the garlic aioli I had. Still nice portions. We may go back here again given the variety of food and how fast the service is.

There's 2 sections to the restaurant: upstairs is more prime rib and lobster and downstairs is more tacos and burgers (we opted for the latter).

My husband ordered the kalbi ribs and chicken, which he enjoyed.

As with most restaurants in Kauai it open air environment and a view of ocean. A great place to watch games and a lively atmosphere. Happy hour is available daily from 3-6pm. Our waitress was very accommodating as she notified us that we could order our two drink minimum to qualify for the happy hour food specials before 6pm and she would serve later. Flashback price on chicken wing of $0.25 each, max 10 per person. We ordered 20 buffalo wings and fish tacos. They have a great selection of the local Kauai Brewing Company beers, another reason we want to try this place. We started we the pale ale and the Cook IPA. Cold, tasty and refreshing. We also tried the chicken IPA and Fonz IPA. All were great! Our favorite was the Cook IPA. The chicken wings had a nice heat level and were perfect accompanied by beer. The fish grilled tacos were fantastic. This will definitely be our go to place to watch a game and just a quick bite. Looking forward to returning. Highly recommended!

The first time we spent just over $100 for a family of 5, and last night we got out of there for $88. That is a feat in this part of town! The happy hour is unbeatable. $7 drinks and 25 cent wings. Note that you have to have minimum two drinks per person, but they don't have to be alcoholic--we got a cocktail as our first and soda water as the second. The cocktails are quite large, so you can still get the $7 price if you order a soda or sparkling water as your second drink. The waitress was super helpful and let us know that last night! We went for taco Tuesday yesterday and the tacos were $1 each! They were good--not insane but great for the price and hit the spot. The service is great and the food and drinks come out quickly despite being busy. The drinks are standard fare, nothing crazy delicious, but for the price it's great. The food is all yummy. We especially love their chicken wings! Home-fried and lots of meat. All of the dipping sauces are excellent too. We haven't had a bad dish here! Truly wonderful prices, good food, and great for the whole family.

My husband ordered garlic shrimp and a beer, and I ordered a quesadilla from the kids' menu - I ordered a Big Wave but they only had it in the can. Overall, this place was good.

One thing we appreciated was the seating options. They have a nice outdoor tables that's covered, so you can enjoy the fresh Hawaiian air while staying protected from the sun or an occasional rain shower. The service was friendly, and our food arrived promptly, which was appreciated because we were hungry after a long day of exploring. That said, the food itself was pretty average. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. If you're looking for a casual, familiar meal similar to a chain restaurant, you'll probably be satisfied. We were hoping for something a little more memorable, especially considering all the wonderful local dining options on Kauai. For drinks, I'd recommend sticking with the draft beer. It was cold and refreshing. Unfortunately, the tropical cocktails--like the Piña Colada and Lava Flow--were disappointing and lacked the fresh island flavors we were expecting. Overall, it's a decent place for a casual meal with family, friendly service, but next time we'd probably choose one of Hanalei's many other local restaurants for a more memorable dining experience.

The hawaiian painkiller drink was nice. Not too strong. For entrees, I picked Kampachi which came with bok choy. Although the portion looked small, it was a good size. Very flavorful. I had a hard time picking between 3 fish entrees. This one worked out well. My wife had a shrimp farfalle pasta. She enjoyed it. When we went to order dessert, they brought us out a lava cake like dessert with happy anniversary written in chocolate on the plate. Complimentary and such a nice touch! It seems like they do pay attention on the reservation. The place was semi-busy but not packed. Bar looked huge. Great service as well.

From the moment you arrive, you know you're in for something special. Complimentary valet parking, breathtaking views of the ocean, beautifully manicured golf course, infinity pools, and even a distant lighthouse create an unforgettable setting before you even sit down. We started with the Lobster Tempura and the Grilled Octopus, and both were excellent. The cocktails were beautifully crafted and the perfect way to begin the evening. For our entrées, we ordered the Kampachi (the first fish on the menu) and the Filet Mignon. After sharing both dishes, my husband and I completely agreed--the fish was the clear winner. It was absolutely outstanding. Every element on the plate complemented the others perfectly, creating one of those dishes you remember long after dinner is over. The filet mignon was very good--perfectly cooked and flavorful--but if we returned, we would order fish again without hesitation. In fact, we'd probably try the other fresh fish option as well (I believe it was Opah). Dessert was the perfect ending to the meal. We enjoyed the warm chocolate cake and the Hawaiian-inspired banana split, both beautifully prepared and delicious. This is the kind of restaurant you choose when you want to celebrate a special occasion or simply treat yourself to an exceptional meal. The combination of stunning scenery, attentive service, creative cocktails, and outstanding cuisine makes it well worth the visit. It's easy to understand why Hualani's has earned such an outstanding reputation. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Kauai, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommended!
