We tried Lava's for breakfast and I appreciated the recommendations of the wait staff. Very good food and the guava juice was delicious!!! They have a lovely beach view.

The food was on the cold side[french fries). I had a salad and it was not very healthy. Had pieces of I think fried pork, and pieces of onios in a kind of fried batter.

They no longer have the Prime Rib nachos. Our waiter was forgetful and very slow.

Stayed in Sheraton Kauai Resort, had breakfast in this restaurant every morning of my family stay. The restaurant is sitting on a beautiful beach. The French toast and American breakfast are all very good. However, my server Amado on the first morning was terrible. He rushed us to order, and when asked about the ingredients of the food (allergy issues), he was very impatient and wondered why I asked. He never offered juice, only coffee or water, until my family asked him if juices were available. He has never came back to my table and provided the routine check if we need anything else, or provided refill my water or juice. The very next time he shown up was to put the bill on the table, which he had also provided to another couple who were still eating. Amado is the worst restaurant server I have ever met in my visits to 4 Hawai’i islands and not sure if he really hates his job. For the subsequent morning breakfasts, I made sure to tell the front receptionist not to get me a table served by Amado. All the other servers however, were very friendly and attentive, in particular, John is exceptional. They (and the food) made my start of the day wonderful on Kauai.

unfortuantely the food is just really not good. It is quite a convenient spot and has good views of the ocean, and the service is good. But the food is just not good.

We would give this location a 4.5. Juice was obviously exceptional, and both of our meals were very tasty!

Good food and generous portions. I had the prime rib and thought it was a good value for the price especially considering the venue. My only suggestion is the drinks were a little on the weak side.

Wanted to visit a restaurant on the beach around sunset. Was super easy to walk in
Service was great and attentive. Unfortunately the food left us wanting. The Mongolian beef entree was tasty but was also ~20% pure cuts of fat which probably should have been meat. My wife's mahi mahi was not particularly flavorful and also quite dry.

That all being said, the kids were happy with what they had and the ambience is quite nice! Just go in with appropriate expectations.

Had breakfast and lunch here today July 25th. The breakfast was great. Just a standard classic 2 eggs, bacon and potatoes. I’ve never had a more accurately cooked over medium egg! For lunch went with Mahi tacos on corn tortillas! Amazing flavors, light and crispy fish with a tasty slaw and aioli. Annie was the best poolside server I’ve had! Will return!

The seating is outdoors. The service was excellent. The prices were average and the food was excellent. We would definitely recommend it. It is a casual atmosphere.
