Restaurants near Kapaa Shopping Center

Awesome service and food highly recommend. No better on Kauai.

Naisla exceeded my expectations! The food was incredible and only got better with each dish. Their drinks and wine selection were also impressively curated. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience, look no further than Naisla - it's a must-visit!

This is truly a hidden gem in Kapaa and we're embarrassed it took us 12 years to find it. It's behind a large condo/timeshare complex but is a separate business. Its tables are less than 100 feet from the water. All tables are covered, and we were very fortunate to get a table at the edge, probably 50 feet from the water and 20 feet at most from the sand. Gorgeous. Setting is very quiet, no road or other noise. Menu is excellent - this is not a kitchen that tries to master 20 entrees. There are about 8 at most. Trust me. Have the seared fish or the short rib on bacon fried rice. The latter really is fit for two people. Pork won tons are also a must- don't worry, it's only 5 won tons and not too filling. Salads are all sharable, all 3 of them. Service was wonderful. Ryan the GM was at our table probably 8 times. Charlie our server was very helpful with advice about our ordering. My cocktail I ordered slightly customized and it came back from the bar EXACTLY the way I asked. We are going to make this a regular stop when we are on island (which is typically 4-5 times per year). Think of the Lava Lava Beach Club, just down the way, but this is much more comfortable and frankly higher level cuisine and service than Lava Lava (which we also like very much). In my view in the combination of atmosphere, romance, cuisine, service, this is a top 5 restaurant on the island. It's not Kenji Burger, you're going to pay more than 20 bucks for your meal but we felt it was expensive but fair.

The staff was incredibly friendly and kind, and the food was delicious.

Amazing one of a kind experience in Kauai, highly recommend!
