   We really wanted to love this place and we did LOVE LOVE LOVE the appetizers and cocktails. So many things went well but others were just a little off. Our waiter was a really nice and helpful guy! We ordered drinks and then on second time over to the table we ordered appetizers. All 3 apps came out from food runners at the same time, and before our drinks came from the bar. The apps were amazing - scallops, cucumbers, arancini. All super delicious, and PERFECTLY prepared! Entrees Ramen, lobster pasta and hamachi (app) were okay... next time we'll order the short rib instead.

   Wonderful evening just the two of us. Perfect martinis, delicious Kauai Ramen and Pomodoro with meat balls. The staff is charming and the decor is lovely. This is our second visit and we will return.

   This is hands down the best dinner I have had on this island. Everything we tried was phenomenal from the drinks to the appetizers and the entrees. 10 out of 10 . Could not recommend it enough.

   Naisla was a delight! We were seated immediately and the hostess and server were professional, warm and engaging. The menu is refreshingly simple but unique and compelling. I had the Jidori chicken and hubby had the braised short ribs. Both were outstanding. During our 10-day trip to Hawaii, it rated number 1 for dinner! A nice plus is that they allow you to BYOB for a fairly steep corkage fee, $25. But that's fine with us as we like to have our own wine. Wines by the glass are quite respectable and tasty. It is a pretty venue, although not exactly the best view (go for the food), and the bench style seating at our table was somewhat uncomfortable. I would probably choose a traditional table the next time. Just minor nit picks though. All in all, a total win and we highly recommend Naisla!

    I always eat here when I am on Kauai. The chefs are incredible. The bartenders are experts. The weight staff is knowledgeable and the food is delicious and beautifully presented
