Wish we didn't have to leave.
This spot is one of the top-rated restaurants on Kaua’i—and it holds a extra special place in our hearts: We got married here 7 years ago, and this time, we were lucky enough to be here for our friends’ wedding too! 🥂 It was just as nice as the first time we stayed connected to this place—if not even better. The upgrades to the grounds are absolutely beautiful, making every corner feel even more magical, and the staff is still so lovely, treating guests like family. We also ended up eating here three nights in a row during this trip! 😆 The reason? We initially thought we couldn’t dine at the Four Seasons restaurants (except for Views at the golf course) without staying at the resort, based on what its website said. Turns out, the shuttle driver who took us to the ferry at the end of our trip told us that wasn’t the case—oh well, at least we got to spend more time at a spot that already means so much to us! First off, the ambiance is absolutely gorgeous—and it’s no wonder it’s a beloved site for weddings and other celebrations. Whether it’s your own big day (like ours was!) or cheering on friends, tying the knot or toasting milestones with Kaua’i’s stunning sunsets as your backdrop feels like a dream 🌅. The decor adds to the charm too: mixed wallpaper, unique lighting features, and varied seating that’s cozy yet elevated, never too stuffy. There’s also an outdoor seating option (usually where the music is) that lets you soak up the island air—though when rain threatens, they move the music inside (more on that later!). Another highlight? Having Maui Brewing on site! It was always a nice meeting place with friends—grabbing a cold brew together before or after meals made catching up feel even more relaxed and fun 🍻. And let’s talk about service—consistently great, just like we remembered! Over our three nights, we had lovely interactions with staff: Maryann took care of us on night one, and Eddie looked after us the next two nights—both were friendly, attentive, and made us feel like regulars (even with our wedding nostalgia!). 🤗 Our server throughout our visits was wonderful, always happy to answer questions about the menu and make recommendations—small touches that made the experience feel personal. Our three nights had their own little twists, especially when it came to music: Night 1: We had the misfortune of a not-so-good musician playing inside—and it was SO incredibly loud. Uncomfortably loud, in fact. Because of the noise, everyone was shouting to talk, and it was hard to even hear our server. No PA system, just a monitor cranked up too high. But the silver lining? The service and food still shined. Night 2 & 3: Way more enjoyable! Night two had outdoor music (much quieter, and nicer to listen to), and night three had no musician at all—perfect for chatting over our meals and reminiscing about our wedding day. The favorites: Oh, where to start! The pineapple Parker rolls with miso butter were insane—we even got them warmed up for breakfast one morning 🍍. The venison sausage appetizer was packed with rich, savory flavor, the mushroom bucatini was creamy and earthy (so comforting!), and the fried chicken sandwich was crispy, juicy, and hit all the right notes 🍗. And don’t even get us started on the pineapple upside down cake—it’s phenomenal! The caramelized top adds a sweet, sticky perfection that makes it really special 🎂. Other wins: It’s very Celiac-friendly—great for anyone with gluten needs 🥗. The atmosphere stays casual (no stuffy formalities), which we loved, and even with the price and noise blip on night one, the food, service, beautiful grounds, and all our happy memories kept us coming back. #KauaiTopEats #WeddingVenueMemories #ThreeNightsInARow #GorgeousAmbiance #MauiBrewingOnSite #CeliacFriendlyDining
