About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    This restaurant truly delivers on its farm-to-table promise. The dishes were bursting with fresh flavors, expertly prepared, and the panoramic views created an unforgettable atmosphere. A must-try!

    Ordered a bottle of wine for 2 of us. Wait kept pouring for us when the glass looked a little less full without asking. Food is good but prices higher than expected.

    Exceptional food and outstanding service. Can’t say enough about the yummy food. The seabass was extraordinary, the best I’ve ever eaten. Unfortunately it rained so everyone was seated inside, which made it rather noisy. It is quite speedy, but worth it!

    We are residents of Kauai and have been to the restaurant many times over the last several years. Our friends and we have enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere over the years. But tonight was a huge disappointment. We were celebrating a good friends birthday who had never been to the restaurant. We had a 6:30 reservation and were not seated until 7:00. The waiter didn’t come to the table until 7:15. The waiter was rude to my guest when she asked if the shrimp for the coconut shrimp was farm raised. He said all commercial shrimp is farm raised. ( I don’t believe this to be the case) She asked if he could kindly ask the chef. And he said “before or after I bring it out to you?” It was not a pleasant night. And was not what I expected since my previous dinners were good. It was very noisy.

    The food at Hualani’s was great! I had lobster tempura and partner had Onaga. Both were delicious! The Metamorphosis drink was color-changing fun. Service was a little slow (server had a lot of tables) but overall a strong experience.
