It has been 4 yrs since we stayed at our Pono Kai/Kapaa timeshare and will be there in two weeks. Please share your favorites as I am sure some we liked have probably changed owners. We are hoping Santa Claus will bring us an updated Kauai Revealed book as we told our grown kids that is what we wanted. But just in case ...  We love fish, Vietnamese, Thai, Hawaiian. Thanks in advance IP: Logged |

We recommend some of the casual places where the locals eat. We like Barbecue Inn, Hamura's, and Dani's in Lihue. If you go to Hamura's for noodles, be sure to try the lilikoi (passion fruit) chiffon pie. It is the best dessert in all of Kauai. IP: Logged |

Don't miss the seafood buffet at the Princeville Hotel on Friday evening. It is out of this world !!! Get there early in order to get a table on the veranda with a fantastic view. My husband says that the view is worth the cost of the meal.IP: Logged |

We really like the Bull Shed. Right on the ocean not too far south on the same side of the road as the Pono Kai. They serve beef and fish.------------------ Be slow to criticize, quick to compliment. IP: Logged |

Most romantic sunset ... Beachhouse in Poipu ... make reservations early in your trip or before you go ... Most romantic setting ... Princeville Hotel ... Friday night seafood buffet is incredible ... best value for decent food ... Bull Shed in Kapaa or the Dolphin in Hanalei. We always enjoyed drinks at Tahiti Nui in Hanalei as well ... but Mama Nui passed away recently ... and it just isn't the same!IP: Logged |

Pacific Cafe is a must. Make reservations no later than 7PM as they tend to run out of certain dishes. Phil IP: Logged |

It's hard to beat Duke's Canoe Club in the Kauai Marriott. They have a casual bar area, and a more formal dining room. You should be able to find a coupon for free hula pie!!IP: Logged |

I second the Bull Shed. We have always had a great meal there at a reasonable price. We also go to Gaylord's every time we are in Kauai. One of these times I am going to make it to the Beach House on the south shore; I have heard only good things about it. IP: Logged |

Since your in Kapaa anyway, don't forget the L&L Drive Inn,down by foodland next to Wahoo's( the old fishbowls ). Of course it isn't a drive in anymore, but the chicken katsu mini at $4.25 is more than I can eat in one setting. We like to get to go meals and eat on our lanai, then save the rice for the birds and chickens the following morning  Another newer place is the Polynesian Cafe in Hanalei, right behind the Hanalei mixed plate in the Ching Young market. Gourmet food on paper plates is their slogan. They had the best Ahi dish there in September, mmmmm.. Did you get your new Kauai revealed? Greg------------------ We will be at Lawai Beach Resort February 5th through the 26th, 2005 in suite 1308 Alii building, Mahalo [This message has been edited by aliikai2 (edited 12-27-2004).] IP: Logged |

Duke's Canoe Club, both upstairs and downstairs - it's the best!!! We also enjoyed the Country Kitchen in Kapa'a for the banana macadamia pancakes with coconut syrup, with a side bowl of fresh pineapple! And Keoki's Paradise in Poipu is another favorite. For those staying at the Marriotts, the MVC desk will provide a discount card for some of these restaurants. And another favorite, kind of like a sports bar, was The Shack, on the east side of the island - may have been in Kapa'a. ------------ DonnaIP: Logged |

Yes, Santa daughter-in-law #1 gave us both Kauai & Maui Revealed and DIL #2 gave us a gift card to a book store. We made out like a bandit. Santa hubby gave me a beautiful leather jacket but I think I will leave that home and not take to Kauai/Maui Mahalo again to all of you neat Tuggers. Are we a neat breed of folks!!!IP: Logged |
