“Had great experience with getting take out three times during our stay in Kapa'a. I got the grilled catch of the day three times, Mahi mahi. My mom got shrimp scampi and the sautéed catch, Mahi. Was reasonably priced compared with other seafood sit down restaurants in the area. We really enjoyed the food and the service was fast and friendly.“
“Best food, okay service, wonderful atmosphere. Kid-friendly menu. Recommended to us by locals. Definitely an essential stop— also in the middle of a nice outdoor shopping mall, and a farmer’s market in the parking lot as well. Very pleasant experience.“

“Our experience was very good! We were seated promptly and our server was extremely attentive. The drinks were good, food was good- my fish was excellent , sides were done well but a little cool for my liking. Almost looked like it had been waiting too long before my fish was ready. My father raved about his lobster and steak. The ambience was excellent and the scenic picture from our table was amazing!“
“I only tried the fries, but they were good. The staff at the grill/pool area were super friendly. My only big disappointment was paying for two upgraded margaritas and two virgin lava flows that turned out to be about $111. I feel that the bartender on staff for that day totally upcharged us, Each margarita was $35 plus 18% gratuity already included, Served in an 8 ounce plastic cup by no means worth $35!!! To put it in perspective. We had a whole 4 meals 4 drinks and 2 added salad bars, That included lava flow and alcoholic drink, lobster tail, macadamia crust fish, ribs&chicken, chicken tenders meal and calamari appetizer etc. for $230 at Dukes. The comparison was nothing compared to $110 tab for four drinks at the driftwood bar and grill!!! I wish I had kept both receipts to show the atrocity of the drinks cost lol.“
“This is a wonderful restaurant with innovative dishes. Probably some of your favorites but a few not regularly served here on Kauai. This was a special night with a family members birthday. We made a reservation and were seated immediately. The service was great but be aware if you order all at once it may come out all at once. Pretty much everything we had was outstanding with the exception of the fish tacos. They are very spicy and salty and for me they were inedible. The rest of the table agreed. The waitress removed the full plate with two small bits out of it and we explained why but it was not removed from our bill. In addition be aware they charge 3% of your bill if you use a credit card.Dietary restrictions: Well if you are on low salt eating out in general is difficult but the beet salad may be a good choice. The fried brussel sprouts were delicious and the predominant taste was more vinegar. I would say stay away from the fish tacos extraordinarily over salted and very spicy.“
“We stayed at the hotel and found ourselves here at some point every day. Melia was the best server, fun, upbeat and positive with lots of great recommendations! Loved happy hour (both of them!) with drink specials and $7 pupus/ small plates - all of which were really delicious. Also enjoyed the live entertainment each night, relaxing views, great way to unwind in the evening. Knocked off a star because they changed the menu halfway through our stay, and the new things on the menu were not as good as what we had on the old menu - skip the spare ribs, drenched in overly sweet sauce.“
“The duck confit kale salad was dressed perfectly with a namasu-like Japanese pear~sweet tart & savory, Slightly spicy arugula w/ oh so sweet honeycomb contrasted with goat cheese crostini and oh my goodness ahi tartar w/ wonderful crunchy bites of takuan, like everything so beautiful to look at, and so fun and delicious to eat... My friend had the slow braised beef cheek , beef jus - a special dish, like a treasured surprise under cover she described it as a succulent delight of tender marinated beef that fell apart in your mouth The Ahi & Hokkaido scallops yuzu buerre blanc was so fresh and tantalizing to the palate with the refreshing citrus yuzu and creamy butter contrasting but complimenting“
