Great meal but we found this place difficult to actually get a reservation. Don't know why they don't use Opentable. You have to actually get someone on the phone which is difficult. Regardless, the food, service and ambience are great. Recommend if you actually get a reservation.

SOV SERVES EVERYDAY GOOD FOOD. The menu is from scratch, using our recipes, including all desserts, dressings and sauces. We Hand-Cut our Fries from Russet Potatoes. Fish is delivered fresh daily and we NEVER use frozen fish. Aloha to our local fishermen.

Pros:great view and nice, helpful servers. Good quality food. Cons: pricey for what you get, limited menu, overcooked fish( like a lot of Kauai restaurants), view is great but little character in the restaurant. I rated this restaurant higher than our group because of the view and servers. Our table otherwise gave it an average of 3 stars.

I am a little confused as the reviews are so good. Cute location, super fast and friendly service. BUT the $4 cup of coffee was tiny - yes free refills but the cup was a joke - , the type you get at conventions but without a saucer or spoon, the small orange juice is served in a tiny small latte glass and my french toast was 1 slice only which came a little burnt and was so small that I thought 'where is the rest of it'? Usually portions in America are so enormous that I can never finish anything and usually wonder about all that waste of food. Here I left hungry and I am not a big eater to start with. One slice of small toast isn't really good enough. Felt a bit cheated.

All the reviews are right. Hukilau Lanai is an outstanding place to eat. The menu is exceptional, the wine list is very good, the ambiance is cozy and welcoming and the staff are friendly and courteous without being stuffy or over zealous. The restaurant is very good value., too.I donât believe youâll be disappointed here.

KEEP BRUNCH WEIRD! BEST BURGERS ON THE GARDEN ISLE Hours Vary. Check social media to stay up to date. Mucho Mahalos
Reviewed By Jun R
The food and service get high marks at this popular brunch place. The downside of this place is the place itself. The AC canât cope when the place is packed full. Also, because of limited seating, expect to be paired up with another couple if you show up as a twosome. Not a bad way to get to meet other people but a little awkward if youâre the last couple to be seated in a table with two other couples already halfway through their meal. That said, still a good place to fill up for a weekend brunch.

An Hawaiian twist on an old american favorite... ***Friday Night you will find me in Hanapepe at the Art Walk from 5:30-9. Not in Waimea***
Reviewed By Escape801309
Came across this place as we were sharing a Shave Ice just down the street at JoJoâs. Picked the Number One from the four available items which was delicious Kalua pulled pork, grilled onions over a fat pineapple sausage in a bun. My mouth is watering now. Excellent quick bite after driving up the canyon.

Oasis is a beautiful oceanfront location that showcases the best of what Kauai has to offer in cuisine, service and ocean views. We strongly believe that residents and guests of Hawaii want to experience Hawaii. We use local sources for almost 90% of our

My wife and I stayed at the Waipouli Resort for a week and visited the Oasis four times. My wife had one of their salads with a side of Ono. I had the curry with seared Ahi as well as the Seared Catch. Everything was excellent. We would make a reservation for an early dinner so we had an excellent table. Of course, it's on the beach so the view was good. Highly recommend The Oasis, but be sure to make a reservation as it is always full.
