    We had reservations for my other half’s birthday. I requested outdoor seating because the ambience is just beautiful out there. The service was exceptional!

    Great food and a really nice waitress. The only problem was we were seated at a very dirty table - it had serious stains and was very sticky. Even the manager pointed out that it was unusual and not like their other tables. He tried to initially blame it on a poor stain job but soon realized it was more serious than that. Loved the quality of the sushi and the creative drink menu!!!! The ambiance of the bar area was calming and warm - loved it! The main dining area seemed a bit sterile - more like a standard hotel breakfast area.

    Love the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Stevenson Library. Recommended to us by local Kauai resident. It was not our 1st choice because my husband does not eat sushi and he rarely eats seafood. He is NOT an adventurous eater, but he ordered the Stevenson's Lobster Dynamite and loved it! I ordered Ebi (Shrimp) and Spicy Tuna Roll. The food and service were excellent! Recommend valet parking (validation from Stevenson's) Highly recommend!

    We loved Stevenson’s library. The food was top notch and the service was good too. They were accommodating and gave us table earlier than our reservation time. One of the memorable dinners we had in Kauai. Side note- Grand Hyatt in Kauai is gorgeous! A must stay!

    If you enjoy a chaotic dining room with ill behaved children running around the tables then this is the place for you. The food was average and not high quality sushi as we had hoped. The decor is English Library meets Denny’s. A complete rip off and we would not recommend it.

    Great food. Service could’ve been better. Luckily our busser picked up the slack for our server.
