Experience one of the best restaurants on Kaua'i and enjoy farm-to-table oceanfront dining from the elegant yet relaxed setting at Hualani's. Here, oceanfront dining is influenced by the seasons. What's fresh at The Farm at Hōkūala inspires the farm-to-table menu, while our bar serves up well-balanced craft cocktails that complement the seasonality of the kitchen. Our culinary experience is inspired by a sense of place and driven by local farmers, as well as fresh-picked ingredients from our on-site organic farm. From the morning harvest and the daily catch, Hualani's shines a hyper-local spotlight on the bounty of the Garden Isle.

Gorgeous location for a romantic dinner or out for any special evening. The food was excellent along with a fine wine list. The farm to table freshness was well evident! The service was spot on and made us feel like it was a special day. We will definitely visit again!

Dinner was fabulous. Our waitress Daniell N. Was great. Made excellent alcohol free drink suggestions and provided friendly, professional service. Attentive but not intrusive or overbearing. Mahi mahi and duck dishes were phenomenal. Birthday dessert and cheesecake were delicious. Views were extraordinary. Can’t say enough about our dining experience but we look forward to returning soon!!!

Fabulous meal we had. Service was excellent and very attentive. Only downside was non-spectacular ambience and noise was so so loud - unfortunately just one group of six or so who dominated the restaurant. We had to ask to be seated in a back room and could still hear them but at least could have a nice evening.

Everything was fine EXCEPT the noise level was extremely loud. The chairs were wry from the rain ,we started exchanging them, and the hostess did nothing to help.

We love Hualani’s! Tonight we enjoyed the ahi spread with banana chips and local watermelon/beet salad for pupus. My husband and I shared the sea bass which was cooked perfectly and topped with a delicate sauce. My friend raved about the ribs. When her husband reported a problem with the dish he had ordered, the manager quickly replaced it with another dish. Quietly and quickly handled. Well done! We always enjoy Matt, who was our server.

We’ve dined at Hualani regularly since it’s opening. We always enjoy the view, variety at the bar, great service (especially Matt the body builder) and of course the cuisine! We recommend this location highly.
