About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
Experience one of the best restaurants on Kaua'i and enjoy farm-to-table oceanfront dining from the elegant yet relaxed setting at Hualani's. Here, oceanfront dining is influenced by the seasons. What's fresh at The Farm at Hōkūala inspires the farm-to-table menu, while our bar serves up well-balanced craft cocktails that complement the seasonality of the kitchen. Our culinary experience is inspired by a sense of place and driven by local farmers, as well as fresh-picked ingredients from our on-site organic farm. From the morning harvest and the daily catch, Hualani's shines a hyper-local spotlight on the bounty of the Garden Isle.

    What a wonderful experience! Had lunch with my parents yesterday. Our server was attentive and helpful, and the food was excellent! The preparation of the Mac nut fresh catch (yesterday was opah) was the best we have ever had. The rice was perfect! The views were beautiful.

    Good food, great music and wonderful view. Table was okay as we were too close to the restroom. And people kept walking by. That was a little disappointing. Other than that very nice.

    The food was quite good (coconut shrimp were a table fav) and the service was excellent. Overall I’m not sure that the experience justified the total cost. One big negative was the guitar player during the meal. He was way, way too loud, talked way too much, and had an unimpressive song list. This should have a chill background type of entertainment, not one so loud that at times we had trouble hearing each other well. The live music component was seriously ill-conceived by the restaurant management.

    Awesome experience! We got there early (5:15pm) and got an amazing table with great view of the place & front seat to the music. The food was great & service was fantastic. We will be back!

    This place is atrocious. We were seated and sat unattended for 22 minutes while everyone around us got served. We ended up leaving. I intend to contact management as this is my second unpleasant experience.

    The restaurant offers delicious food, but the portions are quite small. Despite this, the quality of the dishes is impressive, making it a worthwhile dining experience. However, diners may find themselves needing to order additional servings to satisfy their hunger.

    I am a vegetarian Aunt. They were wholly unaccommodating to my needs. The waitress told us that normally they might be able to help us but they had several large parties that night and so she wasn't going to go ask that the kitchen was very busy. We waited over an hour between the time our appetizers were served and the dinner was served. There was no accommodation, no acknowledgment that this was a problem. A shrug the shoulder. I was wholly disappointed. Maybe they were just having a bad night but if you are a vegetarian I sure wouldn't recommend going to this restaurant. And I was more than surprised at the attitude from the manager and the waitress. For such a high-end restaurant, they really could have done better.
