Beautiful setting, but very busy during prime breakfast and lunch times. Great buffet, but most don't know you can order off a menu too.
What a beautiful location and many choices, however, we thought food itself wasn't exceptional. We were expecting a bit more in flavor.
We went for Mother's Day Brunch.....while it was a little expensive, it was well worth the experience. Amazing view, tremendous variety of great food and was a great day! While our reservation was for 11:30, we got there about 11:25 and didn't get seated until around 11:50......it was well worth the wait!! Wonderful experience!!

Ilima Terrace Restaurant offers a variety of dining experiences, including a Mother's Day buffet and a breakfast buffet. The variety of dishes is impressive, featuring options such as eggs benedict, pork hash, and frittata. Guests can enjoy a quiet setting with beautiful scenery and live music. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff providing helpful food suggestions and island recommendations. Visitors often mention the wonderful experience and recommend trying the mai tia, making Ilima Terrace a must-visit for anyone at the Ilima Grand Hyatt at Shipwrecks Kauai.
Many guests appreciate the diverse and creative breakfast buffet, which offers plenty of options for different dietary needs. The staff is personable and willing to accommodate special requests, such as gluten-free and vegan options. On a recent visit, a guest with dietary restrictions enjoyed gluten-free vegan pancakes topped with blueberry compote, along with other gluten-free and vegan dishes like tofu with mixed veggies, salad bar, fresh fruits, and avocado toast on gluten-free bread. The buffet also features pastries, including gluten-free muffins and vegan options.
The menu includes favorites like steel cut oats, country potatoes (though recently replaced by crispy tatter tots), and power juices such as kale with apple and watermelon-grapefruit. There is a small condiment station for customizing meals. Guests who do not have dietary restrictions can enjoy items like salmon with capers, cheese, and charcuterie.
The ambiance is open-air with views of the ocean, koi pond, and swans, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The restaurant is slightly hard to find as signage isn’t prominent, but staff at the hotel are helpful in guiding visitors. Overall, Ilima Terrace provides delicious food, friendly service, and a lovely setting, making it a preferred spot for breakfast and brunch in the area.
