Anniversary dinner. Wait staff were excellent Efficient and friendly

We loved Gaylord’s. The food was plentiful And absolutely delicious. He highly recommend making it a stop on your itinerary if your are visiting Kauai.

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!

Wonderful Valentine’s Day experience. My wife and I were both disappointed that the veal shipment did not come in but quickly pivoted to the same preparations we wanted, but with chicken. My wife had the chicken Marsala and I had the chicken with the porcini sauce. The sides that came with both dinners were excellent with the au gratin potatoes, carrot soufflé and fresh veggies. Both were excellent. My wife topped off dinner with a caramel custard and I had the profiteroles which was a delightful way to end our evening.

Kōloa Thai Bistro is was a great find! It’s close to the Poipu beach area where we are staying and located in a two story shopping building on the second floor. Request and inside table if you will be enjoying cocktails and/or wine, as they are not permitted on the outdoor tables. The wine list by the glass is small but it had both a red and white French wine that we enjoyed! The hospitality, promptness, and food was outstanding. We ordered the egg rolls, Pad Thai and a Hawaiian stir fried rice dish with chicken, beef and shrimp. Everything came out piping hot and delicious. If you are looking for a casual place to eat with great food, this is the place!
