We had a wonderful time from the moment we arrived. The hostess was charming and the rest of the staff did not disappoint. We felt taken care of and special. Calamari was crispy and tender, salads good. The lasagna was delish! Tiramisu and cream brulee very tasty.

Brenneke’s is a place we visit each time we are in Kauai. Over the years, the number of fresh fish offered has declined significantly, but that seems to be everywhere. The food was fine, well worth the price, and the service was strong.
