Hukilau Lanai Review

Relying heavily on super-fresh island fish and locally grown vegetables, this restaurant offers quality food that is competently and creatively prepared. The fish—grilled, steamed, or sautéed, and served with succulent sauces—shines here. Other sound choices are the savory meat loaf and prime rib. Mac-nut crusted chicken and a few pasta dishes round out the menu. The ahi nachos appetizer is not to be missed, nor is the warm chocolate cake. The spacious dining room looks out to the ocean, and it's lovely to eat at the outdoor tables when the weather is nice. Overall, it's a solid choice on the East Side.

    Hukilau Lanai Review

    We had a great meal at Hukilau Lanai. The service was friendly and warm, the atmosphere is comfortable. And the food wonderful. 3 of us dined there, and all had the grilled ono with polenta and brown butter macademia nut sauce. Yum!

    Always exceptional!

    This is our favorite Kauai restaurant destination. The food is always exceptional, the helpful staff is always friendly, and the view is lovely. Ask for a lanai table and feel the warm Kauai air. This is an easy place to spend a lovely evening. They have a large selection of fine wines at resonable prices and, regardless of your choice of favorites, they will have something you will thorougly enjoy. Don't forget their great desserts!
    When we are away from Kauai, Hukilau Lanai has become one of the beautiful memories of the island.

    A restaurant worthy of a visit

    I have frequented this restaurant many times. The food and service is wonderful. Try the Wally Salad and any of the fresh fishes. Ask for a table outside and enjoy the breeze. This is a restuarant worth visiting.
