Review The Local Kauai - Kapaa

Philip Dawsey
There are 5 star reviews, but this one is for a really exceptional place. Best food we've had in Kauai for sure and Hawaii in general possibly. The carrot salad was amazing and super creative, the sausage pizza had a perfect crust and was amazingly creamy. The ambiance was super fun with live music that was really good, great wait staff and kids dancing with their grandparents to the music along with the wait staff. It was really a perfect meal and would have loved to have tried more. Come here however you can, just do it!

Food and drinks were amazing! We had the empanadas and the falafel, and definitely recommend both. Our bartender was very friendly and welcoming, having regular conversation with all of us at the bar. A little on the pricey side, but the taste and quality are worth it, plus the fact that nearly everything is locally-sourced.

This is a wonderful place! The bar area smelled of fresh ginger which was being juiced. The Happy Hour menu is not large; but, is very well curated. I had their falafel burger - and I can't wait to go back and have it again!

We ordered the empanadas, they were tasty. Drinks are great because they are not too sweet. The service was great, food was great but it’s a bit pricey for not a oven view and the menu is somewhat limited.

We went here for a night of dinner and drinks and it was so great! For 3 drinks and 2 margherita pizzas the bill ended up being over $100, but everything was so good it was hard to be mad, ha ha. We had a cocktail with activated charcoal that was scrumptious, but my fave was definitely the pineapple martini (wish I had one now). And the pizza...the first margherita was just supposed to be an appetizer, but it was so good we ordered another. We didn't come on a night when there was live music, but we passed by a couple times during our visit and it sounded great!

Locally sourced ingredients are the name of the game at this establishment that draws locals and visitors alike. The drink menu provides for fresh juices and local spirits versus the usual canned products and macro-oriented liquor. Both bar and table seating available. Great local live duo singling and playing on my Sunday night visit.

Super low key, hipster, trendy, singles mingles. But even on our honeymoon, it was worth the visit. The drinks and food will blow you away. Freshness you can feel!

Nice simple restaurant. Had Ahí, pork belly, and a salad. The pork belly was scrumptious. The ahi with local green bean was delicious as well. Coconut porter on tap from Maui brewing. Wonderful!!

Delicious, local and great staff. I had the Tuna belly fish and chips and the local Mai Tai. Fish was fried to perfection and the Mai Tai was refreshing. Has a young and upcoming Honolulu vibe mixed with Kauai countryside casual. Great for a fancy dinner or even a casual lunch.

The menu underlines dishes largely based on local production. They do a great job with a fairly small space. Good service, unique cocktails. I would avoid the grassfed hamburger, very dry beef, impossible to hold, strange jelly drips out of it. The "truffle" fries are probably best skipped for the regular ones, there may be truffles in the aioli, I could not taste it though. That said, I like the place and plan to return.
