It's such a shame. The restaurant is just spectacular looking! But the sushi is a major let-down... we won't be back- we would have paid those prices happily had the food been good.
Ashley
We were given this as a recomendation and I suppose it's decent, however having had excellent sushi in Los Angeles we may have become too picky. The sushi itself was good, though the chefs special carpaccio was just ok, sliced too thickly and not enough for the price. The servers were well intentioned but lacked polish for this type of higher end dining. While I appreciated my water never emptying, let it get down to at least half full, it became intrusive. The ambiance also really didn't fit a sushi place, all dark wood, it felt like it should fit an old school steak house. I wouldn't dine there again, sorry folks.
Melanie
Truly amazing, came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. Fresh and delicious, will be back for certain.
Lindsey
Good sushi and good service until about 3/4 way through when our server disappeared and was in the back laughing and chatting with a colleague for quite a while. We were finished and our plates were cleared but she. Ever returned. Finally a hostess noticed us sitting there looking around and asked if we needed anything. We said the bill, please and our server brought the check with a “have a good night”, and that was all. Kind of took away from the fairly good experience. The bus boys clearing dishes and water were very efficient.
Eric
Overall outstanding. A bit on the expensive side but genuinely worth it. Food, service, ambiance, view, all spectacular.
Taylor
Good food. Drinks ok. Wine menu not great. Out of the first 2 bottles we asked for. Service good.
Bremer
Simply incredible food, confused on the service and ambiance because it's not a calming relaxing library I was expecting
Marcy
Ben and Ashley were great. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience . Marcy and Dale Rice

The food was exceptional. Sushi was fresh. Best I've had on Kauai. The waitress was overworked and hard to get her attention. Only sushi place I have been where I had to ask for ginger with sashimi. Overall outstanding.

Stevenson's Library is underrated if anything - what a wonderful experience. The grounds were beautiful, the food extraordinary and the service was perfect. Top 2 restaurant on the island.
Heather
Nice place but very expensive for what you get. $27 for one roll is a lot. Especially with teenage kids who need like 3 rolls to feel full. Ginger salad was $11 and that was actually a pretty large portion.

The food and service is amazing! This has always been our first and last stop of our trip on Kaua'i.
