Fabulous dining experience! Excellent service! Outstanding food! Highly recommend!!
This used to be one of our favorites. But this was a terrible experience. Prices were ridiculous. Food was not good. Won’t go again. Unfortunately.
Fantastic.. great service! Thanks, Noah!
I liked the ambience very much. The service was way too slow, though. We waited at least 30 minutes between services.
Honeymoon vacation. The lobster gnocchi dish was HEAVENLY
Best bar on Kauai. Great food. Quiet classy ambience. Never disappoints.
The food choices were excellent, service was professional and friendly. A few more people to bump the atmosphere will be very welcome. Thanks Covid.
Food was good but not outstanding, ambiance a little dull, service was great but a little pricier than it deserved to be.
Everything was delicious, the appetizer, the drinks and my entree, but my husbands entree was terrible. The view is alright but the service was great. Probably wouldn’t be at the top of my list when we go back to Kauai.
Always great seafood & beef. Very good MaiTai drinks & beautiful location.
Wonderful ambience & service in a relaxed setting. Small menu but each dish well prepared. Loved it!
Drinks, salads and appetizers were excellent. Herb crusted lamb not tasty at all and the "chicken breasts" were an "airline cut" leg and thigh. Meals not great and wish there was a different bread other than pretzle bread to go with the delicious whipped butter and alaea "red" salt.
Amazing food with a very knowledgeable and friendly staff
We had a poor experience at this restaurant. We ordered sashimi for appetizers and it wasn’t fresh at all.
Main courses were ok and dessert was awful.
Service was really good but our overall dinning experience wasn’t. Would not recommend.
We always like Red Salt. It's my favorite restaurant on Kauai and we ran into long-time friends. The drinks are strong and tasty, the food excellent, especially the fish. The ambience is perfect and the service is just what you'd want - there when you need them and not there when you don't. Although the menu is limited right now (February 2021) there's still a lot to choose from. I miss the lamb chops...
Noah was an excellent server.
Food was fresh and excellent!
Will recommend to someone for a Special occasion!
One of best meals we had on the island. Really surpassed expectations for a hotel restaurant. Grilled octopus special was our favorite. Sliders tasty and mahi mahi perfectly cooked.
Food was wonderful. Chris our waiter was knowledgeable. I would have thought with a reservation we would not have to sit by the entrance but we did.
Food is excellent, as always. Scallops were perfectly cooked as was the lobster. Wine Recommendations from wait staff were perfect for the meal.
We were staying next door at Waiohai as we have for years. Thought Red Salt was Japanese themed restaurant but it is contemporary American. What a delightful surprise. The cocktails were hand crafted delicious. I got the filet mignon special, my wife the rib eye. Both were wonderful. Our sever Noah, was attentive, knowledgeable and most personable. Definitely Red Salt will be high on our list for our next visit. Atmosphere was very nice as well.
Food was awesome. Great flavors and presentation and service.
Celebrating Valentines at Red Salt was a special treat. As always service was wonderful and the food and drink was excellent. A wonderful place to enjoy a special meal with special people.
The pretzel bread was amazing! I had the Ahi & hubby had the braised short ribs - All were delicious!!!
Our server Myan was fabulous! So attentive and made sure our water was filled, checked on us making sure we were taken care of. He greeted us and our birthday girl! Everything came out in a timely manner and the food was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant!
Just outstanding, as always. Surf and turf was selected and Filet mignon was excellent. Perfectly done. And service is exceptional.
Good food..very expensive though for what it is. Service was great. Setting could be better
Not happen with ahi too much pepper and not much carbs or vegetables
Excellent service and refined presentation. Highly recommended
We had a very disappointing experience that is unique to COVID, so please keep this in mind. We arrived on time and even as there were tables available in the dining room, the hostess seated us at what appeared to be a make-shift table in the bar (not the dining room). We sat down and were trying to decide if we wanted to ask the hostess to reseat us inside the dining room, when the hostess seated another table next to ours. We heard that particular diner mention that they had just arrived from the mainland and were being quarantined for COVID . . . and we immediately left. That the restaurant is mixing people who are in quarantine with those who are not seems irresponsible to us, and we were very disappointed that NONE of this was ever mentioned or discussed by the restaurant.
We went to Red Salt (so thankful they are open!) with dear friends and it was amazing as usual. Red Salt offers a wonderful escape and total enjoyment of place, food and service.
Food quality was amazing. Service was excellent. A little pricey but it’s Hawaii.
Excellent. Hidden Jem. Will be back.
Perfect evening.
Shrimp bisque, pretzel bread, and scallops were divine
Brian our waiter was awesome, the chef prepared eveything to perfection
We made the reservation for our wedding anniversary and we’re also staying at the resort. Best experience ever. Phenomenal service, absolutely delicious food and drinks, and great ambiance! Would highly recommend!
Great food and service!
Please support all the great restaurants on Kauai as they get back to work and reopen. Red Salt is a special meal at a special place. Stayed in the resort and I t was awesome!
Overpriced food, claims to be much better and ocean view neither are true. Not what is expected for the price.
As usual, wonderful meal, outstanding service. Noah couldn’t have been more on point. Very attentive to timing his service to us. Mai tai is not to be missed, best one yet! Mahi mahi was cooked to perfection. My daughter requested an all vegetable meal and it was gladly accommodated.
Service and cocktails were good. Fish did not taste as fresh as we expect when eating on Hawaii coast. Seemed overpriced for quality and taste of food.
