We requested a quiet table. We were seated in the middle with an another table within 3 inches. We have medical disability issues and both are using canes. This small table was difficult to use and required us to hold onto our canes through out our meal.

We had eaten at A Pacific Cafe many times. Knowing chef had returned to Kapaa was appetising. There were 3 of us, reservations at 1700. Promptly seated by the bar, servers were great. We started with the JO 3 tiered fish appetiser. Roasted Octopus, Ahi collar and a poached Salmon. Half the octopus was tender and tasty the other half super chewy. The collar was a bit too charred in some parts, the salmon was fantastic. We followed with Curry Califlower, amazing. Duck salad, my dining partner is all about duck and ate it all. Tempura bean salad, crispy and delicious. The roasted Fennel was super complex. I would have it as a main. The risotto was forgettable and was really late as was the Salmon. Knowing how great chef we will return. Found myself longing for the Firecracker rolls from the past. The price was very reasonable.

Excellent restaurant. We ate at JO2 twice in 3 days as it was so good. Altogether, my wife and I had 8 appetizers and 1 main course. All were consistently good which is unusual for a restaurant. The ravioli, calliflower, and carrot dumplings were particularly memorable.

Enjoyed our dinner here in May so much that it was the third reservation we made (after hotel and flight) for our visit in October. Local, fresh food expertly prepared and served in a casually upscale hole-in-the-wall. Probably the best food on the island so we’ll worth making the effort to dine here.

We always make sure to have dinner a couple of times when we visit Kauai. Great unique approach to local proteins and veggies.

We came here for local fusion food and we were not disappointed. The only downfall was it seemed that the food took a little longer than we would have expected.
