Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lihue

We really enjoyed our evening at Keoki's Paradise. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Our server was attentive and the food was great. I had the seafood risotto which was cooked perfectly, and my husband had the prime rib which was also delicious. Our dining experience was topped with the unexpected bonus of live entertainment from the Tahitian dance performers (Tumoana) who perform every other week at the establishment. Would definitely recommend checking this place out....Save room for dessert!

We had a great night at the Beach House! We got seated in just a couple of minutes. Our waitress was really great! She explained the menu and answered all our questions. We had a drink to start and order the pot stickers for an appetizer. I ordered the sear tuna and my wife order the filet. Both were excellent. we decided to get a creme brûlée for dessert and it was great too. I didn't even mention the fantastic sunset view we had too! As we were eating, we got to watch the sun set and it was beautiful to eat and watch.

We had a lovely dinner. The Caesar salad was fresh & the escargot in the shells were a delight. My lamb was delicious & the filet perfectly prepared. Our waiter was friendly & had helpful wine & dinner suggestions. It was the perfect ending to our Kauai vacation & one of our favorite places on the island.

Food and service were very good (as always). We were able to make a dinner reservation till for 5 pm when the restaurant opens. Since several parties have 5 pm reservations there can be a line to be seated which we experienced. Not too bad, but also not great. We were there on a Thursday night when the restaurant also provides food for some Luau attendees. So about 70% of the tables were reserved for those people which limits the availability for other guests. Also between 5:30 and 6:15 there was music for the Luau people. For our next visit we will avoid the Thursday night.

It was my birthday and I had a good time the food was great.
