This place is so good that it is the first time I have ever written a review. It genuinely may be the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. It was so good, in fact, that we came back a second time during our stay. On that night, one of the chefs created a special appetizer consisting of toasted bread, some kind of wasabi and edamame puree, and fresh caught ono fish. It was probably the best single bite of anything I have ever eaten. So good, in fact, that we ordered another one after my wife and I finished it. It is a very unassuming place that delivers. On our first night there, my wife and kids ordered separate entrees: the lobster bisque linguine, braised beef, miso carbonara, and fettucine. They were all outstanding. Eat here.

Delicious! I had the Italian ramen and my friend had the miso carbonara and it was very good. Very nice ambiance and best food we've had on the island. Service was great and a massive selection on wine and cocktails as well as mocktails! We also had the hamachi crudo and local green salad and it was yummy!

We are at some great restaurants on vacation but this was by far the best meal we had! Highly recommend it and worth whatever drive it takes from your hotel!

Absolutely epic experience incredibly thought through menu with pairings you would not expect. Affordable pricing for fine dining, the entire team was very passionate about what they’re doing, and it shows. We will come back as soon as possible and be recommending this place for years to come.

I highly recommend this place. The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly and attentive, and our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu; he explained each dish. If you are going on a date or looking for a good place for you and your family, this place will work either way! Can be very intimate or can accommodate a whole family! Each dish had its unique flavor. We had the Hamachi crudo, scallops, short rib risotto, and lobster linguine. We definitely will go back every time we visit Kauai! Add this to your list, you will not be disappointed!

We had a wonderful experience at Naisla Kitchen & Cocktails. From A-Z, the views to the mountain, the excellent service, the entertaining host, the mouth- watering drinks to the delicious food… this was our best dinner on the island so far. We will recommend to anyone we know. Well done!

We chose to eat at Naisla the evening we arrived in Kauai and were very pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was great, the waiter was engaging and attentive, and the food was some of the best we have had in Hawaii.
