Terrible service, overpriced food Would not recommend!!
Phenomenal food. They were about as packed as I've ever seen a restaurant and the servers killed it! Dishes were served promptly and politely and they managed to seat my wife and I and our baby despite there being a party of 52 there for a wedding. Super impressive. Will definitely be back.
The woman behind the counter at the market that I believe also to be referred as the restaurant manager/hostess is the main reason why to not buy food here: its part of her menu to profile and humiliate customers/visitors.

The Hanalei Dolphin Restaurant is a popular spot, offering generous portions of great fish dishes, including the teriyaki ahi dinner and fish and chips. The service is friendly, and the outdoor patio is a lovely feature where guests can enjoy the fresh air while sipping cocktails. A hidden gem is the lunch kitchen, serving the best to-go poke bowls on the island. Rolls and Shrimp are also highlights on the menu. Despite some reviews mentioning that the cocktails may not always meet expectations, the restaurant remains a great place to relax and enjoy a meal after a day of adventure. It is known for its efficient service, even when the restaurant is busy, and many visitors consider it a highlight of their stay in Hanalei. The atmosphere and food quality often exceed expectations, making it a highly recommended destination.
