Great meal and service. The restaurant went to the trouble to seat 8 of us and we were thrilled. It was a special night with 4 of us celebrating 50 years of marriage. The meal was delicious. This place is a must if you are visiting Hanalei!
Be the first to Reply30th Anniversary dinner did not disappoint
Amazing all around experience! I searched for a nice restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and made reservations well in advance. Am I glad that I did! Relaxed atmosphere at a classy restuarant. The service was exceptional and the menu and odering suggestions were very helpful. We enjoyed the Brioche rolls, Papas Ajo, Grilled Filet Mignon as our main meal. We were not planning on dessert but our attentive waitress acknowledged that the reservation stated it was our anniversary and that warranted a dessert. We decided on the Flourless Chocolate cake. It was served with ice cream and a decorative white chocolate bar with anniversary wishes. This place really went above in making our dinner memorable!

We stayed in the South Shore and got used to paying five star prices for three star food. But Bar Acuda was worth every penny. Their chef is clearly incredibly talented and inventive. We got mahi mahi, scallops, papas Rojas, the cucumber salad, and the honeycomb goat cheese and everything was wonderful. I’m not sure I’ve ever had such a perfectly cooked piece of fish. And the drinks were the best we had on the island, by far. It’s just everything you’d want out of a special dinner—wonderful service, great ambiance, and among the best food we’ve ever had. We got in line at 4:50 for bar seating and it worked perfectly. If we ever come back I’d love to get reservations and sit outside.

Great food - cost us $170 for two, but if you want a good place to eat - this is it. Cucumber salad, braised short ribs, & believe it - rolls/butter were great
Be the first to ReplyChange the bread????
Just as good as ever but why did they have to change the recipe for the bread. That was the best part of the meal. Our very picky friends loved every tapa we ordered. Great service.

We had the best best best meal at Bar Acuda during our 5 day stay in Hanalei. We stayed at 1 Hotel Hanalei and I must say that Bar Acuda knocked our socks off and was sooo much better than the hotel restaurants. We had wished we made bookings at Bar Acuda every night! Highlights: Cucumber Salad was epic! Scallops awesome and fresh catch of the day! Highly recommend!
Be the first to ReplyDON’T BUY INTO THE HYPE!
Nothing special here! We ordered the tomato bruschetta, ahi fish, cucumber salad and potatoes covered in what tasted like jarred bbq sauce, 2 beers and a glass of rose for $140 plus tip. Rather mediocre at best. What a concept: small plates with less food and high prices! One bright spot was the waitress, she was attentive and pleasant. The restaurant was very loud. Go elsewhere, and NOT The Dolphin. The hostess there is rude and dismissive.

Great tapas and strong wine list, good service, and it is open air and lively. But you need to book weeks in advance. One of our best meals this vacation.
Be the first to ReplyAlways a Treat.
Consistently the best restaurant in Hanalei. We have been coming the Bar Acuda for many years and have found it to be consistently exceptional in quality and service. It isn’t cheap, but we’ll worth the price. I even found a Spanish wine from Basque Country not usually on restaurant menus. Txakoli (pronounced chocoli) was a pleasant find. The only advice I would provide is to make your reservation 30 days in advance or show up at 4:45 to get a table for an early dinner.

Just a tremendous meal. We had 8 tapas, and 7 were just spectacular. Service also outstanding. Try and get a reservation - it’s worth it
Be the first to ReplyGreat food.
Excellent food. Great quality, fresh and yummy. Portion size is not optimal for the price they charge. It is a great restaurant and worthy of the positive reviews but it's one of those places where you get a small food portion in the middle of a large plate - and we were still hungry after the experience. Our server was good. Ambience was good. It was a one time experience for us and we are glad we did it but will explore other dining options when in Kauai again.

This was a fantastic meal! Every dish was just fantastic. My only complaint was that I felt it was overpriced for what you got. The food was fantastic so I give it 5 stars! This place takes reservations 30-days out and they will fill up on the same day, so if you want to visit here you need to plan ahead. We were able to book the 5:30 spot which is right when they open. Service was great and food was out fast! Highly recommend this place!

This was our favorite meal on the island. The honeycomb, cucumber salad, bruschetta, and the cold brew dessert were our highlights.

I walked in right as the restaurant opened at 5:30. I got situated at the bar and then the magic happened. A pageantry of beautifully crafted food followed. I started with the cucumber salad, then the lamb, the scallops, and finished off with the white chocolate tart. This is food made with love
Be the first to ReplyIt was good that we tried the experience, though once is enough
This is one of those restaurants where people will be impressed that you got a reservation. Sadly for our exclusive experience, we were sat on the outside veranda, parking lot side which made us feel excluded, with mosquitos for dinner companions. I find it more fun to be within the noise and warmth of a restaurant. Our meals were great and served and by pros. The meals are tapas oriented and it is advised that for two people, at least three plates are chosen.
Be the first to ReplyDecent food, nice ambience.
I was excited to try this place & it was good, but not great… ESP for the price you pay. Our waitress was pretty good at first, but virtually disappeared toward the last 40 min which was weird bc it was steadily clearing out & getting less busy. I thought I was going to have to go find her to check out but we enjoyed the ambience & were finishing our drinks so it was kinda ok she wasn’t around. Overall, We were much more impressed with postcards down the street.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent dinner place in Kauai
Every dish rates 9 out of 10, or above. We enjoyed every dish, especially the short ribs, the clams, lamb chops, and bruschettas. One of the best restaurants I have had. The reservation is not easy, so check before your trip to Kauai.
Be the first to ReplyGreat food, but restaurant did not live up to the hype
We tried several times, during our previous trips this year to Kauai, to get into Bar Acuda with no luck- 2.5 hour wait times for a table. So for our current trip, I went online exactly 30 days prior to make reservations, and was lucky to secure 2 different reservations for the 3 weeks that we’re here. We’d been anticipating a great dining experience, while celebrating our anniversary, based on reviews, plus word of mouth. It was not a great experience, mostly due to our seating. The only table offered was right next to the hostess stand. My husband sat literally within 5 feet of the hostess, with disgruntled people coming up every several minutes asking for a table. Our server was nice and we told her of how awful our table placement was, but it still did not make for a romantic anniversary dinner. When we did finally get our first tapas plate (took about 45 min because “the kitchen was backed up”) we quickly ordered a second tapas plate for fear of another 45 min delay. I have to say the food was superb, but the overall experience was lacking due to seating arrangement.
Be the first to ReplyA beautiful ode to oil, sauces and salt
The place is nicely decorated in wood, with lacquered surf boards hung from the ceiling. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Be the first to ReplySo good we went twice
This place is delicious and they are knowledgable about gluten free diets. The food was so good we went back the next night and tried other dishes. The clams are delicious as were the shishito pepper and the cheese plate which we ate with extra apples instead of bread. The setting is nice and the staff is friendly, knowledgable and helpful
Be the first to ReplyWonderful Extreme Sampling for Four
Dinner for four on a Wednesday night. Ambiance and service outside was excellent. We sampled every tapas (except the lentils) and both desserts. Everything but the Albondigas was superb. The albondigas was good, not great. The honeycomb, lamb and beef were all really special. We were thrilled with our meal (despite the Kauai pricing) and would definitely go back.
Be the first to ReplyLoved the meals all were excellent and unique
A excellent experience hands down ! Even though we had been waiting for a while to go to this restaurant, as it was always booked out only to be advised that they take their first 2-4 seated parties sometimes without any reservations based on cancellations so we were at the location at least 30 minutes before and we were the third ones in line to be seated at the restaurant consequently had an availability to us for this visit which was indeed a please for us. All the meals were excellent, a nice tapas type setup there are several meals plated to be shared within the groups in your party with tasty options that made wonders teasing the taste buds. Even our teenagers enjoyed their meals
Be the first to ReplyDelicious flavors!
Loved the food here. Great flavors. Tapas dishes, so we ordered many different plates and shared them. We enjoyed the North Shore honeycomb, the Shishito peppers, the clams, the Papas ajo potatoes, Hawaiian fish, lamb riblettes, flourless chocolate cake and banana ice cream. Waitstaff was excellent! Loved dining outdoors on the porch.
Very popular restaurant so booked a month in advance!!
Wonderful experience
We had reservations for dinner here on Saturday night. We were given a lovely table and our waiter was very helpful. We loved every small plate we ordered and will definitely eat here again.
