Love the youthful energy here, especially after they "close" at 9pm and become a nightclub. Live music performance before is great as well.
Got a couple of bottles of wine and some pizzas to share, both of which were very good.
Repeat customer here would come back.

Live music which I personally enjoy, but the price was high. Drinks were expensive, food was more expensive. The food was ok, but literally my side of fries was 10 fries. Wife got the ribeye which was overcooked. Not terrible but definitely underwhelming considering the price.

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did, but honestly a fantastic place. Excellent vibes, great music, employees who seem happy and well treated, and great food. We had the catch of the day and a burger, both were excellent, and my companion loved her drink. They were really proactive about food allergies and had vegetarian and gluten free options, something I didn't see often elsewhere.

Tahiti Nui offers a delightful escape to the heart of Hawaiian culture, and it's a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic island experience. Nestled in Hanalei, this charming eatery captivates visitors with its laid-back atmosphere, friendly staff, and vibrant decor that reflects the spirit of the islands.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Mai Tai – a cocktail that has become synonymous with tropical relaxation. Served in a beautifully crafted glass, the Mai Tai at Tahiti Nui is a perfect blend of rum, sweet and sour citrus, and a hint of almond syrup, topped with a garnish of fresh mint and a slice of pineapple. Each sip transports you to a sun-soaked beach, making it the ideal companion to unwind after a day exploring Kauai.
In addition to the drinks, the menu boasts a variety of delicious options, from fresh poke to hearty plate lunches, catering to all taste preferences. The live music adds to the overall ambiance, creating a warm and inviting space to enjoy good food and great company.
Overall, Tahiti Nui combines vibrant flavors and a welcoming environment, making it an unforgettable dining destination. Don’t miss the opportunity to sip a Mai Tai while soaking in the charm of this beautiful locale!

The food was amazing! We had the pesto veggie pizza & the mushroom plant burger. The pineapple upside down cake was delish. ??The service was top notch. Great experience.
Vegetarian options: They have a nice selection of items. This is one of the reasons we choose this place.
Love the food! Our server was lovely and very helpful with menu descriptions and ingredients. The place is nice, just a bit loud and a lot going on. If it was a bit more chill it would meet the high quality of service and food for the perfect package.

Friendly quick service. Indoor/outdoor seating. Standard pub fare, Hawaiian style so lots of fish on the menu. They even offer a mushroom burger for the veg amongst us Big portions with fresh garnish for the burgers (lettuce tomato onion and avocado). Fried chicken wings nothing special. Good mai tais.
