    This was definitely our favorite food experience in the Grand Hyatt hotel. We ate off property some as well and we were just saying that this was number two in all of our dining experiences on Kauai. We eat a lot of sushi and have good food knowledge- this sushi was incredible! We were given a gorgeous and so uniquely tasty dessert complimentary in honor of our wedding anniversary! But it was the quality and variety of food that wowed . We were so impressed with the food and dining experience.

    The service was outstanding especially our server Lisa. Lisa listened well allowing her to cater to our individual needs. She knew the menu well and provided excellent suggestions. The food tasted wonderful! We will return.

    The restaurant was beautiful but the waitstaff was annoyingly attentive, clearing plates when we had barely finished the food. Once the staff reached across the table and my face to pick up a plate. This seems to be a training issue. The ventilation did not seem to be working properly and the smell of fried food was strong even before entering the restaurant. The rice under the sushi did not stick together as sticky rice should and fell apart either in the soy sauce dish or on our plate. The quality of the cut rolls was average. The hamachi sashimi was good.

    Very nice service, good food, nice drinks. We had a balcony table outside which was lovely. The server and manager checked in constantly- no complaints. Not the best sushi I’ve ever had, but good!

    We live here on Kaua'i and Stevenson's is one of our short list of 'go to' places. Many, many visits later, we have never been disappointed. The seafood is always fresh and the staff generally always very pleasant. Plus - they give a kama'aīna!
