• The open atmosphere of the building, the service, and the great food.
• We had just hiked 3 days of Nepal coast and were beat, tired & hungry.

“We've been to the "best little", "out of the ordinary" restaurants all across the use. We celebrate at our traditional "once a year" places for special occasions. We've managed and owned a number of restaurants in Austin, TX and throughout the front range of Colorado. Good food, good service, and good atmosphere are something we enjoy getting away for every once in a while, especially having three kids all under five. The Hanalei gourmet is our top, "numerous undo", restaurant that we have ever been to. The atmosphere, food, service, scenery, music, weather, historic building, geckos, beach, waterfalls, mountains, fragrant smell, hectare the best overall combination to be had! Unfortunately, we have never had the opportunity to take our kids there. But we did log onto this site after discussing a Hawaiian vacation and figuring out all of the places we wanted to take our kids to. It's a family, singles, romantic, dropping' in, comfortable environment. I highly recommend it to anyone going to the island of Kauai! "Big Tim" is a great host and obviously loves his business. It shows in every area. We can't wait to get back.”

“Small, crowded and noisy, but if you can get by that it's a great place! If you don't care too much about having thoughtful conversation and instead would like to absorb a fun atmosphere with lots of locals this it for you. The second night we went there a local band played Hawaiian music and the locals got up to do impromptu hula--truly magnificent and genuine! Mediterranean pasta was a bit bland, but otherwise very tasty, large portions of the best food we had on the North Shore. Pineapple aioli sauce is to die for.”
