Kauai Grill - St. Regis - HawaiiAwesome place to celebrateWe went here to celebrate our tenth anniversary. Awesome service, views, and food.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent experienceReally enjoyed the tasting menu. My cocktail was excellent as well. Would have loved a seat by the window, but still was able to experience the sunset from an inner table. With the condo-like accommodations we stayed at, we actually ended up making a lot of our own meals, so this is what I would suggest as a fancy evening out, perhaps a bit of a splurge. The grounds of the St Regis are beautiful.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMSpectacular view of oceanSpectacular view of ocean with kayak racers and surfers. Food was delicious and service was great. Sunset was spectacular. Servers were friendly, professional and at your service.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMbeautiful view, variable foodWe came here for our anniversary dinner and were very well looked after by all the staff. Even though the restaurant was empty (as we arrived very early), we decided not to sit by the window because of the heat/glare from the sunset; the wonderful picture window could definitely use an awning or shades to alleviate some of this!
Our food was variable; the grilled octopus, seared scallops were good but nothing special; however the poached shrimp salad and the wagyu beef were outstanding.
Service was excellent throughout.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMScenic and RomanticThe Kauai Grill has one of the most scenic and romantic views of a sunset. The food is good too.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food is beautifully preparedThe food is beautifully prepared and full of flavor, however be prepared for small portions, at least with the tasting menu.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful choice for my birthdayWonderful choice for my birthday dinner. Food and service were outstanding. The noise level, however, was almost unbearable. There were two loud large groups which really made a lot of noise. We were not sitting close to them but we almost couldn't carry on a conversation. Other than that, it was a lovely evening.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThe view alone is worth theThe view alone is worth the visit, but the food is excellent. One of the best foie gras preparations I've ever had. Desserts were also amazing.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were very much anticipatingWe were very much anticipating dining at the Kauai Grill and were definitely not disappointed. The food was superb ((the wagyu filet was one of the best cuts of beef I've had in awhile.) and Sequoia and his colleagues took very good care of us. Another diner came over and remarked that we had the best seat in the house because we were right in front of the windows facing the ocean and mountains and saw the most incredible sunset we'd ever seen! It was an excellent way to close out our vacation.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe ambiance is fabulous andThe ambiance is fabulous and we had a rock star table complete with a view of the sunset. Our meals were fabulous, featuring lots of local touches as well some great Pacific Rim flavors. I had the best Old Fashioned I've ever sipped and each of my daughters got specialty sodas to make their beverages special. The staff, generally, was very attentive and most helpful with the menu. My ONLY complaint about the entire experience is that I ordered my tenderloin medium to medium well -- it arrived rare. I ate the edges, hoping the waiter might return. By the time the bus boy came to pick up our plates -- as both of my daughters were through -- it was really too late to send back the tenderloin. That's really quite disappointing.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMCome before sunset & sit onCome before sunset & sit on the west-facing patio on the floor level above the restaurant to view the sunset on the other side of Ke'e beach.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat experience. WonderfulGreat experience. Wonderful tasting menu. Also reasonable corkage fee allowed us to enjoy a sentimental bottle of wine. Would definitely recommend and go back.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were visiting Kauai onWe were visiting Kauai on a bucket list and the food, ambiance and VIEW at The Kauai Grill surpased our expectations.
