“Don’t pass up the pesto bagel

For sure we bought two, it was so good!!! Ooey gooey cream cheese with a generous slather of pesto paired with the sweetest cherry tomatoes and a crispy soft bagel… I will dream about this bagel no joke

Plus the view is *chef’s kiss*

Also arm up with some chicken defense squirt bottles… the chickens are fierce 😂”

“We had a wonderful experience at The Sandbox at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. The food was absolutely delicious—everything tasted incredibly fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully prepared. You can really tell they focus on using outstanding ingredients.

The service was warm, attentive, and professional from start to finish, making us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our meal.

What truly sets this place apart, however, is the atmosphere. The setting is simply breathtaking, with stunning views that are truly priceless. Between the lush surroundings, the ocean backdrop, and the relaxed elegance of the space, it feels like a little piece of paradise on earth.

If you’re visiting Kauai and looking for a beautiful spot to enjoy great food, exceptional service, and an unforgettable view, The Sandbox is a must-visit. We can’t wait to come back! 🌴✨🌊”

“One of the most beautiful places to play golf!”

“Surprise to me this was the best coffee spot I found on the island the week I was there. I would stop by here before choosing any of the other spots, and trust me we tried them all.

So good!”

“The coffee here was yummy! The service was a bit slow, but still good. The staff was friendly and gave recommendations. The view was beautiful and the vibes were relaxing. It is within a resort so it is very fancy and a little corporate looking with the design, but VERY well done. Good option for coffee!”

“We loved TIKI INIKI & Richie was awesome!”

“Very good food. I’d highly recommend the salmon. Enjoyed the atmosphere too.”

“Excellent pizza and service. We went in for take out (admittedly within an hour of their closing) and the staff was friendly, attentive, and unbothered by our late arrival. Much appreciated after a day of travel - and the food was delicious.”

“We are here and as soon as we walked on the door they staff was very friendly. It was around 8 pm -‘d not very busy. We got seated right away and order very quickly. The pizza and fettuccine Alfredo were both amazing. It was big portions and the service was quick.”

“Lappert’s in Princeville is absolutely worth the stop. The ice cream is incredibly creamy and rich, easily some of the smoothest I’ve had. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients because every flavor tastes fresh and well balanced. The service was also excellent: friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. My cone was perfectly crispy too, which made the whole experience even better. Yes, the price is a bit on the higher side, but for the quality of the ice cream and the great service, it’s completely worth it. A must-visit if you’re in Princeville.”

“We’ve been in Hawaii for four times now and this is THE best food we’ve had hands down. We ordered a chicken gyro and beef/lamb gyro along with the side potatoes and they were incredible! Every bite was perfectly seasoned and an experience of its own right!”

“All you Europeans and/or espresso lovers, espressos here are delicious: sweet and sour with crema. 👌🏼

The beans are organic and fresh. 🫘🌟”

“We had the cold brew float and it was the best coffee we have found on Kauai!!! We love it as much as our favorite Dutch Bros drink!! Had it 3 days while on Kauai!”

“Bar Acuda is a must when we come to Kauai each summer. The main problem is getting reservations. You must log in 30 days in advance @ 3pm HST. You have to try within 5-10 minutes in order to score a reservation. Otherwise, you can get notified if a spot opens. Or you can go around 4:30-5 in person & try for walk-in spots. Not sure how easy it is to get a table by walking in.
A tapas restaurant that uses local ingredients, it is consistently excellent. We have basically covered the entire menu over the years. Our favorites include the cucumber salad, broccoli w/ burrata, lamb riblets, Kauai shrimp & the lentils. You really can’t go wrong. The lilikoi cheesecake is light & creamy & a must have. The lemon crumble ice cream with pistachios is refreshing.
Highly recommend Bar Acuda as a quality restaurant.”

“Very solid food and massive portions. Fish curry was 2 meals in one so great value. I think my standards for Indian food are quite high, and this was very solid, hearty, and incredibly fresh. Nice guy running the food truck”

“Dave and Jesse are awesome people and their pizza is fantastic. They use quality ingredients and really care about the food they are making. Highly recommend making a stop here!”

“Awesome Dog!”

“Coconut shrimp was so good. Food is delicious.”

“Always a must stop for us when we’re staying on Kauai’s Northshore! Kalua Pork, chicken, rice, mac salad, etc. hit a home run every time!”
