Restaurants near Opaekaa Falls

The food was fantastic. We had the filet, short ribs and grilled catch of the day. My daughter has a nut allergy so the manager was kind enough to ask chef to make an exception to his plate regarding her entree. Thank you!! It was delicious! Everything was fantastic! Try the fillet and the homage sorbets, they are wonderful!! Great atmosphere and wonderful friendly staff. Thank you for such a nice experience! We will be back!! ❤️❤️❤️

Sunday was the last night of our trip to Kauai and it was difficult to get Ubers to take us very far from Kapaa for dinner. We read about the interesting Japanese/Italian fusion at Naisla's and decided to give it a try. The outside is a bit unassuming, however, when you walk in it is just a really cool place. We had dinner at the bar and Stephanie was our bartender/server. She was engaging, very well informed about the menu and her service & attitude made the night really nice for us. Their were two appetizer specials - a cucumber salad that had an amazing umami and the wagyu hot rock with salted egg yolk and a wonderful Asian sauce for the dipping - this was nothing short of stellar. My wife had the Miso Carbonara and I had the Fettucine Pomodoro (very 'cheffy' idea to marinate the meatballs in ginger/soy braise) - we both loved our dishes. From all the restaurants we tried while in Kauai, Naisla's is at the top of our list to recommend to friends visiting the island and for a return visit ourselves. Thank you Stephanie and chef for a great evening.

Fairly expensive, but we figured that. All the food was well prepared with good presentation. But the fillet medallion was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned.

We arrived earlier than our reservation & they seated us immediately- I had read reviews & ordered accordingly- We began with the Golden Sliders and Lollipop rolls…both wonderful. My “Boss Steak” was prefect- melt in your mouth med-rare NY steak ( had sauces on the side ) & my husbands “Butter Me Up Roll” was received very well- They are leaving this Mall at end of December 24’- Hope they reopen on Kauai by time we return ❤️

My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner together last night. It was indeed romantic and quiet. Food was good and the server was veery nice. The price is just right. Thank you!
