16 Best Seafood Restaurants near Hanapepe

“BOOKMARK this restaurant! My family ordered the fresh fish salads and plates, Ahi sandwich, Reggie Rings and all of it was delicious and filling. We had to return after a year and it is sooo consistently good. You will never find nicer and attentive service at ANY restaurant on Kauaʻi. Trust me, they ARE the BEST and make you feel like the most important person(s) in the world. The staff are angels. The restaurant is small, but well worth it, even for take out. They really appreciate your business, and you will find few restaurants that match the high quality food, service, and price. This is a Kauaʻi MUST restaurant. Bring your patience since it is small and you will be rewarded 100x's! You will not regret this island jewel. It's also a historical site which makes it real cool to eat at. Read the plaque posted outside. Very neat!“

“A local recommended this place to us and we're so glad we tried it out. Everything was so fresh and delicious! The inside isn't open so you have to order outside at a window but we didn't have to wait long. Everything is to go. Parking lot is on the side of the building it's small but we managed to find a spot.“

“Merrimans is one of the best restaurants on the island, along with 1849 next door. It is really comfortable and mellow if they are not too busy, with live music some nights. Watch the sunset from your table. The crab cakes or the soup of the day are good starters. Tomato bisque and the ube soup with coconut cream were both delicious. Some of the dishes like the caesar salad and the Ma Kai ($52), which is the chef's weekly choice preparation of mixed seafoods, miss the mark. I do recomend the macadamia nut-crusted mahi mahi ($49). All the top restaurants on Kaua'i do a version of this dish, Merrimans' signature version is my favorite. The lilikoi (passion fruit) mousse is the perfect, light dessert.“

“Friendly Waves in Koloa, HI offers a delightful dining experience, especially with their standout dish, "dat burger." Cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor, it's a definite must-try. Situated at 5460 Koloa Road, its convenient location adds to the appeal. With delicious food and a friendly atmosphere, Friendly Waves is a great spot to enjoy a satisfying meal in Koloa.“

“The environment is really cute inside, also if you come early you can walk around. There’s small shops and it’s well lit up.RESERVE IN ADVANCE.Steal 10/10Tuna 5/10, I love raw fish but for some reason it did not taste good for me, get the steak.Upside Down Pineapple 6/10, more scoops of ice cream would be ideal, the bread is dry. Get the first item on the dessert menu.It got a 4/5 because the steak was good, drinks were great, service great, and environment great!“

“Honestly? Pleasantly surprised for being part of a resort.Of course you get resort prices but what I didn’t expect was such a fun and friendly staff. I didn’t expect some of the menu items to be as good as they are either!It’s only exacerbated by the fact that there’s poolside service as well. Good for lazy days after adventuring or hanging out with local buddies.There’s honestly so much good food in Kauai that relaxation and easy access is the game here BUT it’s not a compromise, it’s still good.Also thanks for being so hilarious to me and my local buddy when we were drunk, you guys are hilarious and a good time! ??“

“This was near our hotel so we thought we'd give it a try. I'm so glad that we did!! It is an open air restaurant with a Polynesian feel. They had live music (a man and his guitar) that was quite entertaining. We had the coconut shrimp-- very crunchy and sweet-- and the risotto. The seafood risotto had big chunks of fish, shrimp, and lobster. It was delicious!! We liked it so much, we went back the next night. This time we had the nachos-- it's a big tray!-- and the nut-crusted Mahi-Mahi. Once again, the food was superb!! Definitely give this place a try!!“

“My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at Table on a recent Wednesday night, and Jenny was our server! She was so nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating. My wife had the pork chop which she loved, and I started with French onion soup (very good with a very rich taste) and then the baked fish which was fabulous. My only complaint was that the rice that came with the fish was only luke warm at best. The sauce on the plate was fabulous! Great restaurant and Jenny was fabulous, be sure to ask for her!“

“This gem is hidden inside the Sheraton Hotel and offered a terrific happy hour between 5-6. Noel the bartender gave excellent service and his recommendation of the white fish special was spot on. I especially enjoyed the brussel sprout appetizer and it contained sausage slices. Seeing a couple next to us order the flatbread, gave me flatbread envy so we returned the next day. Yes, I had the flatbread appetizer and delicious lamb. The ambiance was warm and cozy with an ocean view.“

“Absolutely delicious!! We had the fish n chips and poke nachos, both of which we knew were good from yelp but did not find on menu. So very good. Ordered a virgin spicy Bloody Mary that was nothing more than tomato juice with a bit of worchestire in it. Would not recommend that drink but fish n chips all day everyday so good!!“

“Went there during down time, and oh goodness! I haven't had such good laulau and Kalua pork. The cilantro poke was equally delicious. They were out of musubi and substituted delicious poke for us. They treated us really well with the substitution. I would definitely go again.“

“After a long day of hiking, this hit the spot. Coconut shrimp was a huge serving size for 16$. Coconut shrimp and a serving of pineapple from the fresh fruit stand next door made the day so much better.Wheelchair accessibility: It is accessible“

“Definitely more of a Bar feel, but the staff made our little family feel right at home, even amidst a toddler melt down! The food was delicious, we got the pork nachos, and the view and vibes are immaculate. Plenty of parking and the prices were not unreasonable.“

“First time eating a Savage shrimp, it was really good. Would have been a five star but we asked how spicy some of the sauce were and were told it was none My poor wife doesn't do well with vice and it definitely has way more kick than they indicated. Other than that we really liked “

“It was decent. A solid 4 for a quick bite or drink on the beach. It’s just when you go on vaca across the Pacific Ocean, you want a bit fancier place for dinner. Nothing against the Broiler. It services its purpose on the beach. Maybe we should have come for a happy hour!“

“Service and food were consistently good. We had breakfast everyday and all selections were consistently great. Prices are typical for hotel onsite dining.Vegetarian options: There was an adequate selection of vegetarian meals.Dietary restrictions: Upon checking in at the hostess podium, they ask if you have dietary restrictions.Parking: Valet parking only.Kid-friendliness: This is not a restaurant geared for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchair.“
