- DDonHawaii •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoHow do you spell amazing, “Red Salt”! Our Valentines dinner for two started with Noah our sever opening the delicious bottle of Merry Edwards Sauvignon blanc and pouring a taste in each glass. We savored the wine while waiting for the first course oysters to arrive. The two different preparations launched us into the evenings flavor experience! Noah kept the wine trickling in while waiting for the baked lobster dynamite sushi to land. It was a flavor explosion in the mouth and I could have stopped there. Again Noah kept the wine flowing and was attentive but allowed us to have a very relaxing evening. Next arrival was the perfectly seasoned and broiled fillet with Boursin mashed potatoes. We are getting full but have just enough room to share the chocolate volcano cake topped with vanilla ice cream. Now we’re all in! It was an amazing dining experience, everything was done to perfection and Noah’s timing of the courses allowed us to have a most relaxing evening. It was simply exquisite!More infoRed Salt at Ko’a Kea ResortPrice: Very Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Koloa•4.5
- LLindaSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoExcellent waitress and bar service. The manager came by to say hello which was very nice. Music from the bar area was perfect. We did not feel rushed even though it was Valentine’s Day! Well done, Keoki’s. I wish the pineapple and carrot muffins were still complementary though. Those are a must at every visit. We did not get them on this trip, however, because of the charge.More infoKeoki's ParadisePrice: Moderate• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Poipu•4.5
- KKevinVIPCincinnati / Dayton •94 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis is the best place to view the sunset so get there early for a drink and a spot on the lawn. It attracts a crowd so be prepared for the hunt for a parking spot! We came to this restaurant 40 years ago and now I remember why I remember! The drinks, service, and food were outstanding. The menu is somewhat limited but I suppose that’s why everything is expertly prepared and delivered piping hot to the table! Our server was so helpful and friendly in describing the dishes. To top it off we shared a coconut crème brûlée. A must. There is a respectable wine list both by the glass and bottle. If we lived here, it would be a favorite spot!More infoBeach House Restaurant- KauaiPrice: Very Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Poipu•4.6
