Zoe CareyJanuary 23, 2019Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! Would definitely go again. We got a combo plate of the daily catch and ahi tuna, then my husband got the steak and we shared everything-it was like a party in our mouths. Yum!

Benson ChanJanuary 18, 2015Fancy food made from local ingredients, one of the pricer restaurants in Kauai. Service is great as well. If weather is nice ask for table with a view. Reservations recommended.Upvote1Downvote
Karen YuenAugust 30, 2014The mongchong is so amazing, I'd come back and order it again and again. Come before sunset and take some breathtaking photos downstairs.

eric bornemannJanuary 27, 2021Great local fare and delicious fish. Nice views from the outside seating on the balcony. One of the better options in town.UpvoteDownvote- Jordan KongFebruary 25, 2019Excellent Mai Tai and happy hour deals! Come here to view the sunset and grab a drink at the bar upstairs.UpvoteDownvote
Andy CFebruary 16, 2012Wine flights. Try the cabs Jordan, Justin, and Rombauer. 3 wine-flight glasses = 1.5 real glasses. Cost is $25. Can choose same wine for all 3 glasses. Glass of the Jordan is $25 -- do the math...Upvote1Downvote- Jen SpencerJune 19, 2013Great place to sit at the bar and enjoy a great drink, pupus and a view! The Ono poke with jalapeños and coconut was great!UpvoteDownvote
- Karen YuenAugust 30, 2014Enjoy live music on Wednesdays and Fridays from 5:30 - 7:30 and take some amazing sunset photos!

Nipa UrbanzJuly 26, 2012Half price any bottle of wine in their wine menu! Shrimp with polenta is awesome. Pu Pu platter is a must! Scallop with cream corn can't be missed!UpvoteDownvote

Matthew ListroApril 18, 2021Don’t come to Kauai for the food. But this is def up there w/ the best of the worst. Great view, decent enough food, okay drinks. Not worth the $ in most other places but for Kauai we even went back.UpvoteDownvote
Randy CottinghamApril 29, 2013The food and service are five-star! Best fresh fish I've had on Kauai !UpvoteDownvote
olivier PEYRENovember 27, 2014Service was okay but none of the dishes we had were even good. Bland, too rich, poorly presented. And we took the entrees that were recommended as by far the best ones on the menu. Off night?

- Brian BadmanMarch 7, 2014Ate here yesterday. Very disappointed. Fish overcooked and dry. Had maccademia nut fish special and Ono. Dry dry dry. Service marginal. Desert was bright point. Chocolate purse greatUpvoteDownvote
William JollyJune 26, 2013I have to agree with Jamie J. The service was horrible. The food was just ok. My fish was over cooked and other dishes were marginal at best. Way over priced for what you get.UpvoteDownvote
