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.

    Amazing experience, the food is on par with a Michelin 3 Star, the service impeccable and the selection of wines were excellent. The ambiance, let's just say dining overlooking the water with a full moon rising can't be beat!!

    I had an exceptional dinner experience at Hualani’s last night, and it all started with the fantastic service. Our waiter, who’s name has totally slipped my mind but was from Colorado, was an absolute highlight of the evening. From the moment we were seated, he greeted us with a warm smile and took the time to explain the menu in detail, offering thoughtful suggestions based on our preferences. Not only was he attentive throughout the meal, but he also made us feel truly cared for without being overbearing. He checked in just the right amount, ensuring our drinks were refilled and that we were enjoying our food, all while maintaining a friendly and genuine demeanor. He even went the extra mile to accommodate a last-minute dietary request, which we greatly appreciated. The food itself was stellar, but it was the personal touch and thoughtful service that made the night truly memorable. His recommendations were spot-on, and he made sure the entire experience flowed seamlessly. It’s rare to come across such a combination of great food and outstanding service, but this dinner was a perfect example of both. Highly recommend this place, and if you're lucky enough to have him serve you, you're in for a real treat!

    Haulanis is always our "go to" place to eat. It just gets better every time. Our waitress, Tina, was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly.

    Although the location was stunning and the drive in heightened our expectations for what we hoped would be a celebratory evening, the dining experience was underwhelming. The whole fresh catch was tasty but both the rice and bok choy were cold and lacked flavour. Disappointing 😕
