    We love Eating House. We had our usual pot stickers appetizer, butter fish entree and chocolate soufflé for desert. They were all delicious as usual. Make sure to make reservations.

    Really great restaurant! I'm not sure why more people aren't trying Table, but my husband and I were on Kauai recently and had a wonderful experience. We both had unique and delicious cocktails, then wine, alongside the mushroom appetizer, seared ahi tuna and the bone in pork chop. All of these were yummy! It was easy to get a reservation, I think only because its location isn't as "prime" as Merriman's across the way ... food was great though, and it was lovely, quiet and relaxing.

    Awesome service from the moment we arrived until we paid our bill. The edamame was delicious but OMG the curry ramen and G-special ramen were simply amazing. We will be back (maybe even on this trip!).

Discover Koloa

Located on an isolated shore on the island of Kauai, Koloa is a tranquil place to enjoy the amazing local cuisine. Koloa shaved ice is a favorite of both tourists and locals. This chilled dessert is topped with mochi balls and ice cream to give it a sweet, savory flavor. Koloa crack seed is another snack that is popular throughout the islands. You can find this snack along with bags full of crackers and nuts at convenience stores and marts. These foods complement the laid-back lifestyle in Kauai. The town is home to numerous shops and shacks that serve these goodies on a daily basis. While you can find delicious meals at restaurants in the heart of Koloa, don't miss out on these not-so-secret treats.
