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.
Excellent meal and service.\nWe had 3 different types of meals fish & chips, swordfish, and steak - all were prepared well. \nWaitress was great.
The sushi roll was about 90% rice with just a very small amount of fish. Tasted ok, but nothing special. Friendly service.

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.
