Best Casual Restaurants in Lihue

Kukui’s is always a great experience. Just footsteps from the massive pool at the Royal Sonesta, the ambience can’t be beat. Our server, Jackie, was fabulous, and the food is outstanding. We live here, so we are nearly regulars. Their prices have increased since they remodeled, but the menu has improved as well. Enjoy a great dinner, followed by a walk along Kalapaki Beach.

Everything was absolutely perfect!! Will most definitely return!!!

The food was amazing. Every single dish was terrific. The kale salad absolutely delicious the Ono amazing the poke delicious we loved it all, and Eva was a lovely server

Beautiful ocean view. Consistently high quality in food and service. We have dined here at least once on every visit for the past twenty five years and Dukes never disappoints. It is our favorite restaurant here on Kauai.

I asked for a medium rare steak; it arrived well done and only mildly warm. Nonetheless it was excellent.
