Hawaiian Restaurants in Koloa, HI

“The staff was is super friendly. The food is some of the best I have ever had. The experience was one of the highlights of my trip.“

“This is now our “go to” place when we are in Poipu, simply now what should be considered the best restaurant on this end of the island hands down.“

“Went here our first day on the island for drinks and ended up getting dinner, too. The service was pretty slow, but the server was super friendly and attentive once she finally made it to the table. My wife had the mahi mahi tacos and I had the mahi sandwich and they were fantastic. We also had two drinks each, the last two were the lava flow (delicious) and mudslide (not bad, but not great). The views are gorgeous overlooking the ocean and the prices aren’t awful. For 4 cocktails and two entrees it was about $120 which is honestly one of the cheaper places near the beach.“

“Beautiful views of the garden and delicious food.“

“This was by far my favorite restaurant on Kaua’i. I convinced my husband to let us come back a second time because the stew is probably my favorite thing I’ve ever eaten. The staff were so sweet, playful, fun and attentive. Seriously, try the stew 🤤“

“Red Salt is amazing! Highly recommend it. The best food on the island. Our server was Allen and he was amazing!!!! Great service and careful with our parties’ food allergies. Lovely memorable dining experience. The toasted pear salad and filet mignon were outstanding!“

“Justin, you and your team did a fabulous job for our Son's wedding rehearsal dinner! We are so grateful for all the hard work leading up to our event and for your careful attention to detail and responsiveness to our requests. The food was a wonderful combination of flavors and delicious in every way! Our family and wedding party loved and raved about it all! A few of the many items people keep raving about was the amazing Macaroni Salad and your special BBQ sauces. We all agreed they were the best we ever had! It was so nice to work with someone who goes above and beyond to make an event a success. It was a night all of our guests enjoyed greatly and will not be forgetting anytime soon. With great gratitude, Carmen, John & Melanie, Eric (the proud parents) Paige and Dylan (the bride and groom) San Francisco, CA“

“This food truck is the best place for poké on Kauai! Charming relaxed atmosphere, DELICIOUS food at affordable prices, all next to an open building with great shops. Corn hole game for the kiddos set up near the covered seating area. All 8 in our group agreed that this was the place to eat! Visited 2-3 times during our stay. Highly recommend!“

“Great place, get there early , usually there is a line but it moves fast.“

“Favorite restaurant on South shore. Wonderful cocktails, fantastic food, friendly and informative staff and a stunning view.“

“We love this place! We have stayed at the Grand Hyatt at Poipu multiple times and always look forward to our dinners at Tidepools. The food is delicious and the service is always top notch. But it’s the ambiance that makes this place special. No sunset views, but special nonetheless.

Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi is my go to meal.“

“View from our room. Awesome! Very relaxing“

“Very good breakfast and the friendliest servers like Javere!“

“We enjoyed Puka Dog very much! A unique and tropical experience with the different flavors of sauces. Personally we had one with mild sauce & passion fruit sauce and another with spicy jalapeño & ketchup. Delicious until the last bite. Grab extra napkins and head to the beach to enjoy with a fresh squeezed lemonade! You won’t be disappointed“

“The Prime Rib was enjoyed by my son-in-law, and I LOVED the Stung Honey Fried Chicken. The coconut shrimp were the perfect accompianment to the King Tiki Mai Thai. My wife loved the Asian Salad, but my DIL thought the Macademia Crusted Mahi Mahi was a bit dry. Service was SPECTACULAR, and the kids menu was extensive - our 3.5 yo grandson loved the grilled cheese sandwich with waffle fries, our 19 month old grandaughter loved the pasta with marinara, and there was also pasta with butter sauce, cheese burger sliders with waffle fries, and chicken tenders with waffle fries. The view of the pool and ocean from under the lanai was also terrific!“
