New American Restaurants near Kapaa, HI

“Went to hukilau for 37th wedding anniversary. Oct 15. Was dying for prime rib. Didn’t care about price I wanted Prime rib so so bad. All we get here on Kauai is choice. There is no fat in the meat no marbling and you can’t cut it with a fork. You have to slice every bite. That is choice. And if you’re good with that. Then the rib is great. It was cooked perfectly. But I wanted the prime rib. Prime has fat all thru it and so tender the meat falls apart. Little pieces of fat around the edges and you can see the marbling in the center. I actually asked the waitress what was on my plate (which I have never ever done before) and she said it was prime she even went to the chef to check. He too said it was prime. I have cooked a lot of prime rib in my lifetime so I feel like I know what talking about but I felt like I was being blown off like an unknowing tourist. All I know is that my meat did not look anything like what is in the photo of their prime rib on the website with photos of their menu. Love this place otherwise. Been going there for 30 years. Incredibly nice waithelp and an incredible view for a romantic evening.“

“A very romantic restaurant with delicious food and the best service you could ask for. I highly recommend Oasis On The Beach“

“Had the swordfish special. My wife had a fancy burger. We each had a different cocktail. Everything was really delicious!!! We also had the best server in our lives, her name was Kay. I know we will never have a server as great as her ever. We wish her the best!“

“one of the best meals of my life and I ate here twice!! traveled all over the world so that says alot“

“Went to Daddio‘s one of our favorite places to go. We decided to try it for restaurant week. Alejandro, our waiter was great. I had the salmon dish and another one in our party the CIOPPINO.  Both were very good. Two other people in the party had the short rib dish very disappointing. We had to send one back because when it came out, it was only noodles. There were no pieces of short rib in it overall again, one of our favorite places to go and I'm sure we'll go back, but I would just stay away from that short rib dish.“

“Good service! Friendly and excellent food!“

“We are Marriott Owners and stayed on property to enjoy the Royal Sonesta amenities. Kukui's bar opened up after their beautiful remodel.while we were there. I shared my thoughts with Anthony, who was the manager on site. Christmas Day was crazy busy and the staff kicked butt and did a fantastic job. Boy, were they hustling and still kept their composure and professionalism! The menu has been refreshed and had many great healthy options. The prices are standard for this type of higher end property. The breakfast menu offered many options and all that we tasted were beautifully plated and very delicious! Yes, there were hiccups, which is expected, but the staff did the best they could. I'm not going to mention what needed to be improved on yet. As good as everything was, we know it will keep on improving as everyone settles in. Congratulations to Royal Sonesta and your entire team. Review in 12/26/24 Lucy & John Proud Marriott Owners“

“This was the only option available for dining at the Outrigger, and we were tired after a long flight. The food was okay, but I wasn't good enough to come back for. I'd eat here again if I was staying there again. The staff were friendly, but the service was a bit slow considering it wasn't busy“

“Amazing food and service“
