Dinner at Plantation Garden Kiahuna Plantation Poipu Beach

Our favorite place to eat on Poipu Beach is the Plantation Garden because it is romantic and also they have wonderful food. We order off the pupu menu and have a glass of wine. This video will give you an idea of the wonderful outdoor open air restaurant and the food:

Casablanca for Dinner on Poipu Beach Kauai

This year is our 25th year of coming to Kiahuna Plantation and our 25th anniversary is in July. We went up to the Casablanca Restaurant at Kiahuna Plantation Poipu Beach Kauai for dinner because we like it and it has great reviews and ratings.  Really a great Happy Hour and wonderful restaurant on Poipu Beach and Kiahuna Plantation, we love the music and entertainment too that starts at 6PM every night.

Mike Young, the guitar player and singer surprised us with a really nice 25th Anniversary song, he is a great musician and he gave us an autographed copy of his CD, great music!

Best Dessert on Poipu Beach is at Kalapaki Joe's

Kalapaki Joe's on Poipu Beach Kauai, near Kiahuna Plantation has wonderful food at a reasonable price. Their Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie with Lappert's Vanilla Ice Cream is the best dessert on Poipu Beach. If you like sports, this is also a sports bar, and you will also love the open air restaurant.

Kalapaki Joes also has a great Happy Hour and wonderful fish taco's.

Kalapaki Joes on Poipu Beach

We were expecting the normal sports bar food but wow, this place has some of the best food on Poipu Beach and the prices are a bargain during happy hour which is 3PM to 6PM. We love this place on Poipu Beach. Just got back from having 2 glasses of wine ($3 each), hot wings (25cents each), and Lobster Tacos ($12.99). The wine was better than the Marriott on Poipu and half the price. Wine during happy hour is $3 and normally $5. We will definately return, the view is beautiful of the ocean with sailboats, and the service is outstanding. HDTV Wide Screen for the sports fans. Not your average Sports Bar, this place is gourmet.

Here is our favorite Kiahuna Plantation Condo.

Kao Kea Bar for Wine and Food on Poipu Beach

We went into the Kao Kea Bar and were suprised by the high prices, 2 glasses of wine, and 2 sushi appetizers came to $60. For $40, we have eaten at Plantation Gardens and Keoki's and received 2 large salads, and 2 glasses of wine. We do not recommend the Kao Kea unless you are prepared to pay $100 per person for dinner and drinks. While it receives high ratings on the internet, for the average person the prices are simply too high.

Marriott Waiohai Bar for Wine and Food Poipu Beach

We went to the Marriott Waiohai Bar for a couple of glasses of wine and to look at their bar menu. The bar is right next to the ocean so really nice sounds. We were disappointed in this place because the wine was $7 and was served in plastic cups with about half the amount of wine ewe were served at Plantation Gardens and Kioki's. The bar menu reminded us one of the blue collar sleeze bars back on the mainland. Amazing that we were the only couple at the tables next to the beach, so this is not a very popular place.

Another Dinner at Plantation Gardens Restaurant Poipu Beach

We like a light dinner and normally have an appetizer and glass of wine. We also like a romantic, quiet spot that feels like Hawaii. The Plantation Garden Restaurant fits the bill, it has all the above, so it is the restaurant that we go to the most while at Kiahuna Plantation Condo. It is the first place we eat and it has also been a tradition to eat there on the last night of the trip. We have been coming to the Kiahuna Plantation Resort now for 23 years. The condo that we enjoy the most is Unit 86, since it gives us a good walk to the beach in the morning and we can also easily walk to the Swimming Pool, Casablanca Restaurant, Poipu Shopping Village, the Marriott for Happy Hour, and Red Salt Restaurant. The Plantation Gardens Restaurant is the old Plantation House that was on the 30 acres of land that now houses the Kiahuna Plantation Resort.
