Restaurants near Wailua Golf Course

My wife and I had a fantastic brunch today. The Prime Rib and Eggs Benedict were my favorites. Multiple choices for any taste….salads, shrimp, macadamia nut pancakes, bacon, sausage, rice, potatoes and multiple pastries.

Jay is THE MAN! We had a reservation at 8:30pm for Valentine’s Day and arrived about an hour early to see if they could get us in earlier. We were told no at first due to being fully booked so we got a drink at the bar to wait and hang out until our table was ready. Jay, who appeared to be either a barback or busser, took care of us immediately with his warm and funny charm and asked us if we’d like to sit and eat early. Of course we said yes, so he cleared off a table with lightning speed and in our opinion it was the best seat in the house. It overlooked the cliff and pool area right behind the bar and he was super attentive to us the entire time and ended up being our waiter the whole night. He was super funny, professional, and helpful during our entire meal experience and I would like to give him a huge shout out to making our dinner one to remember. Thank you Jay!

What a wonderful and enjoyable Valentine’s dinner at Naisla! We were seated immediately for our 6:00 reservation and greeted by the great staff. I love and appreciate how the restaurant operates…while everyone has their “role” the teamwork and camaraderie is a joy to observe! They are on their game 110%! The food is amazing and so fresh. We started with the arancini and crudo hamachi, had the refreshing local salad and lobster and garden pasta. Just divine! Our desserts (lava cake and raspberry cheesecake were spectacular. We are fortunate to have such a wonderful restaurant on the island. Feel blessed as locals to be able to return soon for another delicious dining experience!

Beach front table waiting for us as requested. Welcome birthday glass of champagne when we were seated. Very relaxed ambience. We weren't rushed at all. Food was great - Taro chips to start, then salad with beef short rib for mains. All very delicious, beef melted in your mouth. We have eaten here every time we come to Kauai for over 10 years and this restaurant never disappoints. A bonus was an incredible whale show just offshore right in front of the restaurant.

From the delightful reception with Lilly to the outstanding service (with a smile) with the bar service manager and the efficiency and knowledge of Jeff, our server and to top it off with very tasteful dishes, excellent wine and an ambience matched by no other restaurant in the world . . . my bride of 48 years and I had had one of the most inviting evenings out in all of our years. Thank you, thank you, thank you Gaylords of the Plantation House restaurant. In the memorable words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back!"
