The dinner (fish) was fantastic and beautifully presented and the dessert out of this world (choc lava cake order early)--the only small complaint would be the the hostess(s) at front stand...not too friendly (don't ask to change tables). We went mid-week and early in evening... more

After reading so many positive reviews it was time for me to try Hukilua Lanai. I was traveling with a friend, helping her celebrate her big 50! I thought HL would be the perfect spot. It did not disappoint me. We sat in the lobby and had a glass of wine. No waitress on duty so after sitting at the... more

The food here was excellent. Prepared with attention to both subtlety and flavor. It was a relief after a week without vegetables (Kauai cuisine tends to love yummy meats & starches, and we are used to nightly salads and steamed fresh veggies to accompany those choices) to experience such a fresh salad prepared with delectable dressings and a wonderful marriage... more

My husband and I spent a week on the island and went to Hakilau Lanai for his Birthday. It was a good choice. Beautiful outdoor setting, swift service (maybe they could use singing lessons) and the food was prepared to order. I highly recommend this restaurant. The prices were perfect. I am looking forward to our next visit. One of... more

After reading the Trip Advisor we decided to dine at Hukilau Lanai tonight. We were not disappointed. 3 of us had the wine pairing menu (only offered between 5 and 6 pm) which consisted of a sweet potato ravioli appetizer, fiddlehead fern salad with homemade sausage, ono fish on orzo, pork tenderloin, goat cheese and marconi almonds drizzled with honey... more

had dinner on the lanai 10/16/08. Food and ambience were excellent. Service a little uneven but not to worry. Be sure to ask for a table in the lanai dining area. A very enjoyable experience overall. The young lady at the front desk needs to learn how to be pleasant and smiling instead of sullen, but overall staff were great.... more

Very good, I had the mixed grill of fish which was good, my wife had the Ono with a chipolte sauce and smoked cheddar polenta. The Wally salad wasn't that great. I also had the cheddar bacon soup which was very good. The setting was very pleasant and the service was very good. They really did have 20 different bottles... more

We recently dined there, and the experience was perfect. My wife had the Lobster wontons as an appetizer, and I had the Lobster bisque. Both were rich, decadent, and outstanding. The salads were perfect, with all ingredients at the absolute peak of freshness and ripeness., and the house dressing was a perfect complement to them. For dinner, my wife had... more

We ate here our last night and wished we had come sooner. We would have gone back for another meal. The service, atmosphere and food were all excellent! We started with the lobster curry bisque. I love lobster bisque and was curious to see how it would taste prepared this way. What a wonderful surprise! It was delicious. And we... more
