Kauai Restaurants

Hanalei Dolphin
When you see the location, you'll understand why Hanalei Dolphin boasts the freshest fish on the island.  The outdoor seating makes this a special place.  It's hard to go wrong with any of the fish dishes, but ask your server what's best that day.

Jo-Jo's clubhouse
This shack, at mile marker 23 on Hwy 50 serves shave ice in traditional island flavors.  Try flavors like passion fruit and coconut.
