    Steak frites (with mashed potatoes)
    Jenna g.

    Our server was really friendly and the ambiance is nice. The food was pretty good but I was a bit disappointed that my short rib was mostly fat. I don't mind a fat cap but this was way out of balance. My husband got the steak, he said it was ok, but overcooked. I would give it another try and keep my fingers crossed that the quality would match the price next time.

    Terrace salad - half serve
    Alison V.

    What could be better than great food, with a great view overlooking the mountains - not much in my opinion! I loved the half serve of the terrace salad, as well as the sweet and spicy wings (they weren't that spicy at all). My husband enjoyed the fish and chips too. We only had to wait about 19 mins on a Friday night. We would definitely recommend visiting if you're in Hanalei for dinner.

    Poke Bowl
    Bri M.

    Food was delicious, service was fast, and the ambiance is lovely! Especially when it's pouring and you need a place to hide out from the rain! Had the poke nachos, the Brussels sprouts, the ahi burger, the lava cake, the poke bowl.... All phenomenal! Our waitress was wonderful!!! Highly recommend!

    Fun happy hour with fair prices on food and drinks. The drinks and food we ordered were delicious! Try the poke nachos, they are very good! The coconut shrimp was just okay. The crab cakes were good. Our service was okay. If you are not in a hurry go here, the views are fantastic!

    Quality delicious food and so many options, best happy hour in the area and the service is top notch! Shout out to our server Gage! We come here everytime we're on the island and will continue to do so!

    Branded bun

    The price and the food were excellent! You can't go wrong with the Terrace or Wagu Burger. The house Veggie Burger was ono (delicious)! We especially loved their fries and a delightful welcoming staff: Tyler. Another reason I loved their burgers was due to the engraved buns- wow! I just loved that personal touch!

    Fantastic. When you visit Hawaii you start to get used to how expensive everything is. The worst is when you are already paying high Hawaii prices for a meal at a restaurant and the food and/or service is mediocre so you walk away feeling extra ripped off. NOT HERE! Probably because this isn't in a fancy resort area or with a view of the water. But it has a nice view of across the street to the mountains from the upstairs dining area. All the food was excellent, great portions and surprisingly reasonable prices! Burger was excellent. Best fish sandwich I've ever had in 10 trips to Hawaii, they cooked the fish medium rare and it was a very big piece. Note that it's open air with no A/C so can feel a bit steamy on a hot day. Wish it were easier to find more places like this throughout Hawaii.

    Margaritas and ube pina colada
    Annaise R.

    This place was really nice it was perfect for a romantic dinner especially with open Mountain View. The wait wasn't long but we did come for early dinner. We got a fish dip which was really yummy and fresh. The chips were stale but they brought out wonton chip to replace them. The drinks were very good I love the ube drink. My husband enjoyed the margaritas.

    Poke on a bed of salad instead of rice, without wasabi.
    Dolores D.

    Nice Asian fusion restaurant located at the Ching Young Village, across from Hanalei Center. Great restaurant for couples and families. My husband enjoyed his braised short ribs and rice. The ribs were delicious and tender. I liked my poke order which was so tasty and filling. I ordered with salad instead of rice and minus wasabi. Our hostess/server was nice and attentive.

    The views in Hanalei
    Dorothy W.

    Beautiful views and excellent food and cocktails. Our server was very good as well - super courteous, attentive without being overly so. We just popped in for snacks; the wings were so good we got a second order. The smoked fish dips was also very tasty. We had other dinner reservations that night but plan to head back for dinner. The menu looked really good and interesting.

    Crab cake
    Melody T.

    We went a little after sunset so we didn't get to see the light but it was still very nice to be seated on the second floor with open air to see the sights of the mountain side. The workers were very sweet and frequently checking in on us! They gave us a rec too when we asked but too bad they ran out that day! Each bite of food was delicious!!

I almost canceled after seeing a few mixed reviews online, but I'm really glad we decided to go anyway. First off - you really come here for the atmosphere and the view. It is absolutely incredible! Sitting outdoors taking in the Kauaʻi landscape is top-tier. The menu itself is pretty limited. Here's what we tried: Papaya Salad: Really refreshing and tasty, though a bit steep on the price tag for what it is. Pork Belly Ramen: good but definitely not authentic-level ramen and at $30 (even with the added spicy miso sauce) it was just okay. I probably wouldn't order it again. Sesame/Ground Pork Soup (Hubs' order): He got a dish with ground pork and udon noodles in a sesame base broth, and that one was actually really delicious! Service was stellar! Our waiter, Keoni, was super attentive, friendly, and awesome overall. While the ramen prices are on the high side for what you get, the view, service, and ambiance made it a wonderful evening out on our trip!

Bar Acuda makes eating vegetables feel like a reward rather than something you order to feel better about everything else you ate on vacation. The cucumber salad was light and refreshing, and the pan-roasted broccoli was perfectly seasoned and served with a delish harissa sauce. For our entrée, we shared the Hawaiian fish. Super fresh and perfectly cooked, but a little bland. It was begging for a sauce or something to give it a little personality. And then came the lilikoi cheesecake. GAME OVER! By far the best dessert I've had in a very long time: creamy, tart, sweet, and dangerously addictive. We ordered one to share, took a few bites, and immediately realized sharing had been a tactical error. So naturally, we ordered two more to take home for the next day. Our favorite meal on Kauai. Come for dinner, but whatever you do, do not leave without the cheesecake.

Ironically, the butterfish ended up being one of the most memorable dishes of the trip and for all the wrong reasons. The misoyaki butterfish was so overwhelmingly fishy that we genuinely struggled to eat it. And I don't mean "this tastes like fish" fishy. I mean the kind of fishy where every bite makes you increasingly aware that perhaps you should stop taking bites. The short ribs were unbelievably fatty...easily the fattiest we've ever had. There was so much fat that after a few bites, we just couldn't stomach them anymore. So now we had two entrées in front of us, could barely eat either one, and were both disappointed and somehow still hungry. Which is how we ended up ordering the chocolate soufflé. Not because dinner had earned dessert, but because we still needed dinner. The soufflé was fine. Fairly basic, but at that point "edible" was a major improvement, so we happily ate it. We also ate at Red Salt on this trip and weren't particularly impressed there either, but Eating House 1849 was worse. At least Red Salt had good sushi. I genuinely don't understand the glowing reviews for Eating House. The location is great and the atmosphere is fun, but neither was enough to make up for how disappointing the food was.

Its all through your phone. We checked in and only waited a few minutes. I of course had made reservations weeks ago. We got seated in a table with a fantastic view.

I didn't see Remy Martin on the menu but I did see my favorite Rum. Ron Zacapa XO so I got that. The view was so wonderful and we came pretty early so not too crowded yet. We ordered the poke tostada as a starter. It was a special. It was just ok. I didn't think the poke was as fresh as what I had earlier at lunch. Especially for Hawaii. They brought us Focaccia bread and it was free hehe. The wife got the Macadamia Nut fish which was Swordfish today. It was wonderful and cooked perfectly.
