    We have been going to Kauai since we got married in 1997. Whenever we go, we will always dine at Stevenson's Library. It is probably the best sushi we have ever eaten outside of Japan. If we are in Kauai for 1 week, we will eat at Stevenson's once. If we spend 2 weeks on island, we will eat there twice. In 2025, we spent 2 weeks in Poipu so of course we ate at Stevenson's twice! The sushi is still the best. They had Otoro on the menu (Fatty Blue Fin Tuna) which was almost a religious experience! We have been lucky enough to have Ashley (Ash L) as our waitress for our last 4 visits. She is absolutely the best server and we will always request her when we surely will return! If you love sushi, great saki, and wonderful service and atmosphere, make sure to put Stevenson's Library on your Do Not Miss list!

    The service is what made it special. Cherie at the hostess table saw that we were hungry and jet lagged and secured a table an hour ahead of our reservation! She went over and beyond. The food was great and our server knowledgeably about the menu and worked to make it exactly what we wanted . Highly recommend

    Lovely dining experience. Sushi was so fresh and delicious. Cocktails and wine selection great. While we were not seated on the outside deck, they seated us by an open door and it was still lovely. We made reservations to return before we go home.

    The Ono and cut rolls were fresh and delicious my only complaint is that it was very cold inside. Needed to keep our jackets and sweaters on. Service was excellent!
