Nalu Kai Grill And - Speisekarte

Really overpriced restaurant at the St. Regis. Have been hearing about the local grass-fed Kauai beef burgers for years, but when I tried one here it wasn't great. It was a bit over cooked and, frankly, not very tasty. Nowhere near as good as the burger at Duke's on the South Side. And way more expensive. The setting is really nice but doesn't have as much of a view as I would expect or hope for the general beauty of the area and they price you pay for food. For whatever reason, they put a building between this restaurant and the bay which blocks most of the view.

I enjoyed the ahi poke bowl at this pool/beach bar and grill. We chose a table with both ocean and mountain views. The poke bowl included sushi rice, seaweed salad, sweet onions, nori, ginger, avocado, and of course, raw diced tuna. Service by Mike was excellent. Some of the servers seemed distressed; I wondered if it's because the resort changed ownership recently, the beach seems to have lost its former beauty, and the resort seemed emptier than I expected. As in many restaurants we visited in Hawaii, birds watch you eat and hover, waiting to attack your plate the second you leave the table. Visit the restroom before your meal, since you can't leave the table in the middle of the meal.

Kind of long overdue to write this review, but I got back into Yelp. Writing reviews brings back memories and would love to share some of my experiences for all the FOODIES out there! This was in October BTW. Let's begin by saying that the area was beautiful. You get a great view of the ocean in a luxury hotel, absolutely breath-taking! Now, lets get on to the bad stuff and the reason why I am giving this a 2/5. The restaurant was understaffed with only 2 waiters, and I each in different sections. We waited around 15 mins for the waitress to get to our table...then another 35 mins for the food to come out. Why don't they hire more people?! We ordered the burger, and I swear we only saw about...
