- MMichaelPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThe restaurant setting is a tropical paradise- lush greenery, flowers and a large banyan tree.

- DDianaVIPTampa / Central Florida West •16 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoLocated in a historic landmark, this restaurant and lovely shops sit in a former estate with grounds so lovely it relaxes the guests with its beautiful surroundings. There are photos and paintings of the property throughout. It is reminiscent of old Hawaii in so many ways; thank you for taking us back to a different time. The meal was excellent and service was very good. We had moctails while waiting in the lounge and they were perfect. Our dining was in a lovely gazebo which was picturesque. The food as mentioned was wonderful.More infoThe Plantation House by GaylordsPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Lihue•4.7
- DDianaVIPTampa / Central Florida West •16 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFinding the location was the most challenging in this day and age when gps is second nature, it sometimes neglects to say the building is listed on the street but actually set back on the second floor of the building on the street in a shopping complex, but we found it. Allowed time. Food and service were very good. Atmosphere was clean and second story allows for cross breeze cooling since that side of the island is warmest. An enjoyable meal.More infoKoloa Thai BistroPrice: Moderate• Thai• Koloa•4.6
- PPamelaVIPDetroit / Eastern Michigan •32 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoExcellent service from our server who knew from memory the gluten free selections. Our steak and Ahi were both prepared perfectly. Ambience as always, breathtaking. Everyone, from the valet, to the welcoming committee at the desk, to the expediters really take a moment to make a connection however brief. Amazing in this age where it seems people are losing the ability to communicate. But the coup de gras? Gluten-free Mochi cake! Thanking the team for a gluten free dessert that is unique and memorable.More infoBeach House Restaurant- KauaiPrice: Very Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Poipu•4.6
