Smith Family Garden Luau 3-5971 Kuhio Hwy, Kapaʻa Dinner Theater • $$$$

“Super fun Luau. The area is very beautiful and kept up. My husband and I just booked the tickets for the luau which were decently priced, so just know you do not have to do the supper, and can just attend the luau if you want which is much less expensive. Definitely recommend, especially if you've never been to a luau on any of the islands before”

“Great local roaster that knows how to roast to bring out the natural varietal profile. This was our go to morning cup everyday while vacationing in Kauai. You can get any bean on the menu as a pour over. It was my first time trying coffees from Thailand and India. The baristas know how to pull an espresso shot. Nice crema and rich flavor. Not knocking the iconic Kauai Coffee, but if you like coffee that's roasted to bring out flavor profiles natural to the bean, Imua is the place for you. ☕”

“Situated on the 2nd floor of an old building with limited view of the ocean. The other side is open with high top tables and you overlook town/ mountains. Very beachy vibe and open air space. Music is loud even at 9am and servings are HUGE! Great spicy Bloody Mary and breakfast burrito - double the size I expected. Maybe not as unique or special food as Kountry Kitchen across the street but easy parking and no wait to be seated.”

Nani Moon Meadery 4-939 Kuhio Hwy D, Kapaa Brewery • $$

“With out a doubt top tier experience. Had the opportunity to try all available options. Was recommended the royal taster flight for the regular menu and a royal taster flight for their seasonal list. TOTALLY worth it to try their cacao moon regular vs their 9 year aged version/ their regular ginger spice vs the 7 year aged blend. Really fun to compare and contrast the flavor profiles.

Each glass was 2oz so plenty to share while also encouraged to make the most of the 12 TASTERS!
Definitely try their pairing menu vegan chocolate was delicious.

You won't be disappointed by the strawberry lavender, only available on island and local.

Loved the whole experience (IMO best tasting menu on island) there is a dry, semi sweet and a sweet forward for all pallets to try. Great date outting. Walked away with 3 bottles.”

Cool to see they’re still making really good food in this tiny shop off the main road. Note that they have a menu that’s bigger than what’s up on the big board. Try the meat jun.”
