   The food was exceptional; fresh, creative and ample. The fresh catch was the best yellow tail presentation I’d ever had. Their Sunny Bubbles cocktail was delightful, citrus basil forward with just the right amount of vodka and a fun presentation. Service was spot on, timely and friendly. If I lived here this would be a place I would visit regularly.

   Amazing food and atmosphere! We love the scallops and the crispy chicken bao buns!!! But in all honesty everything we ordered was fabulous including the spicy margaritas. We will be back for sure.

   Im not sure how it’s possible, but Naisla just keeps getting better. Though we miss a thing or two that came off the menu, the new additions are fantastic. Great service, consistent, creative and delicious food!

   Everything from the cocktail to the appetizer, salad, entree and dessert were top notch, fairly priced and creative. It was not the standard fare offered by other restaurants and the place had a friendly, but laid back vibe.

   Exceptional food and exceptional service. Our waitress and her assistant/bus boy together provided the best service we have ever had at a restaurant. There are not a ton of items on the menu, but what is there is beyond special. We will always eat at this restaurant on all future trips to Kapaa.

   While I had no idea what a Japanese / Italian fusion would offer, this place came highly recommended from some folks in Kauai. We went early and were warmly welcomed by both receptionist and the bartender who doubled as our waitress. We enjoyed the awesome drinks while Stephanie described the menu and her thoughts on what to try. The restaurant is nice, cool interior and we felt right at home. But the FOOD! We were blown away by the quality and tastiness of our dishes. On Shannon's rec we did the scallops and Hamachi apps. Next time, I'm just ordering these for my meal and not sharing with anyone. I had the lobster linguine - which was perfectly seasoned, not too rich and was duly impressed with the squid ink pasta. (I was originally worried it would be too rich to eat...no so!) My wife had miso carbonara and added chicken. It was also very good. We compete - so mine was the better...but that Hamachi lives in my dreams. Keep up the great work, Team Naisla!

   Another excellent evening! We asked for a larger table and the gracious and kind hostess got it for us! Very nice lady! We had the hanachi and carpaccio and fettuccine and the miso carbonara.. excellent service and food .. chic design inside also.. twice in a week and we’ll be back when we return to Kauai…
