Way too expensive for food quality 😞
We have come a few times now and love it there! Talk about amazing views..it can’t be beat. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. I have celiac disease (gluten free) and they took care of us like family. 100% recommend!

We originally stopped in because we were looking to get change to do laundry. The place is really not appealing, looks pretty outdated and runned down, but once we met the bartender/owner Gary & some of his regular clients, boy, did we have a time. What a guy. Funny, whitty & a good host. He drank with us & also gave us drinks on him. You dont get that kind of service anywhere. He pushed us out of our comfort zone and made us try the poke nachos & man they did not disappoint. So glad we tried it. The chicken quesadillas were also good. He stayed open past his time and let us keep enjoying the night away. Such a great guy. I would go back just to see him again and for the poke nachos, of course!! Thanks for making our night, Gary!! Need more people like you.

Cool seaside spot. We had beers and appetizers after a day of snorkeling at Tunnels Beach.

If you want to spend all night until 2 am staying up with your partner while he's hugging the toilet since he got food poisoning from the burger, I highly recommend this place! There was no better way to spend the evening/late night after 48+ hour travel to get here than worrying about your parter potentially needing to go to urgent care. Prior to him becoming sick, his parents and I were discussing how the food (we got fish & chips and fish tacos) were all bland and lacked flavoring that would've otherwise made the food exciting. It tasted like regular bar food and should be price adjusted accordingly. We know the poisoning he got was from the burger as for our lunch prior to this dinner, we all ordered identical meals from the same establishment and were feeling great and excited about being on Kauai. The to go order took a while too but the restaurant was nearly empty. All that wait and anticipation for no flavor...

This is a great place if you’re looking for a relaxed, beach front restaurant in the north. Our group stopped by for lunch and loved that we could have a cocktail with a views Our server was extremely friendly and very attentive! The food wasn’t too impressive but the view made up for it.

We visited this restaurant for the beautiful view and were not disappointed—it truly enhances the dining experience. The service was exceptional; our server was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. As for the food, we had the fish tacos and a burger. The burger was quite good, but the fish tacos were just average. The poke nachos were stale as well.
The drinks, unfortunately, didn’t live up to the same standard; the Bloody Marys and margaritas were mediocre at best. Overall, while the food and drinks could use improvement, the stunning view and great service make it worth a visit.

Just had dinner there on a Sunday night. The place feels old and tired, there were things on the floor that needed to be swept up. We ordered the fish and chips that came with Fry's, and Cole slaw. The Fry's were really good. There idea of Cole slaw was a small pile of shredded cabbage with lemon or lime juice on it.
The fish had the chewie consistency of an overcooked chicken breast, unlike the fish we ate at Kalypsos two nights earlier which was fantastic.
So, we got good fri's, not so good Cole slaw, 3 pieces of very chewy fish and a Pina colada each (2 people) for $94.24 not counting the tip.
There's lots better out there people. Go to Kalypsos.
It did have a nice view of the ocean ?

Stayed next door and stopped by every day! The first time we enjoyed a great lunch, I liked the fish sandwich my husband got the steak quesadilla. We stopped by the next night for a drink and enjoyed the company of the bartender and owner. A few days later we had planned to get some maternity pictures taken in Hanalei bay but in classic Kauai fashion it started pouring as we were headed out, so we regrouped by going next door to our hotel at the bar… This is where it got even more awesome! The owner Gregg took pity on us with our cancelled photoshoot plans and ended up taking a ton of photos for us with a smile on his face the whole time. He even emailed me a few days later with the link to all the pics… you’re the man Gregg! Come for the views and food, stay for the hospitality :)
