Our island is full of stories, none more inviting than the one told by the dish in front of you. Known for its modern take on Hawaiian comfort fare, Alaia embraces the community through its support of nearby Mauka Farms, telling their story through every plate, bite, and sip. Using unique, native produce such as apple bananas, Moloka'i sweet potatoes and tomatoes from Pele, a third generation farmer, our culinary team works in tune with the seasons. At Alaia we reap the bounty from the mauka to the makai, working with hand-selected fruits and vegetables from our farm to your table. We let the quality and simplicity of the ingredients speak for themselves. And we love what they have to say.

Fête is a blast. It's got a lively vibe and the food is out of this world, as one reviewer put it: 'Mind blowingly delicious... every dish a sumptuous... pleasure.' The restaurant is a celebration of food and drink, and the staff is supercool, as another reviewer noted. They're passionate about food and drink, making every experience a fun one.

Our waiter is so awesome she’s super attentive and fun to talk to . But one of our order where my friend order a lamb chops was given as lamb legs instead of lamb chops. What can you do about that?? She barely eat it because it’s not easy for her to cut it it’s just large and a legs like a turkey! Other than that . Every thing else is ok. Maybe the kitchen people needs to look better on customer order . Mahalo

This place is simply amazing. Our waitress was so sweet. She was so knowledgeable about all menu items. We have been meaning to try this place for a while and never got a chance to. I saw their James Beard special on TV and finally got a chance ro try them last week. We just HAD to return again this week. They are just that good. We will keep returning again and again. Their Caesar salad dressing (as our waitress says) is DRINKABLE! SERIOUSLY! That thing is ridiculous!! The Kaua'i shrimp special (we may be a little biased) was so 'ono. The shrimp dish and risotto dish was so flavorful. Everything we ordered was just so mouth watering! Go, go, go, go,go!!! This place is a MUST visit. Worth the parking hassle. Lol. Find it on the street or st the end of the road in the paid parking lot.
