The Tasting Room

Food was wonderful! Waitress was lovely, the only down fall was my husband got food poisoning from a well cooked steak.. meaning the meat was spoiled!! He was sick from both ends for 10+ hours straight; our vacation was ruined by this, had to go to urgent care due to severe dehydration. He was miserable for 24 hours+ even after urgent care. I couldn’t believe this happened, I could maybe believe from too much raw fish but from steak? So disappointed from our experience. Last half of our honeymoon was ruined due to spoiled meat.

During my recent visit to The Tasting Room in Koloa, Kauai, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional dining experience. The charcuterie board was a standout, featuring a delightful selection of specialty cured meats and cheeses, including local options that showcased the island’s flavors. The portions were generous, making it an ideal starter to share.  The service was notably prompt and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Given the restaurant’s popularity, I recommend making reservations in advance to ensure a seamless dining experience. For dessert, the apple cobbler cheesecake was a highlight, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. Additionally, exploring their wine flights is a must, providing an excellent opportunity to sample a variety of selections fro

Daughter and SIL took us to this place for dinner while vacationing in Kauai and we had a fabulous evening of wine, food, and fellowship. This is only the 3rd restaurant in 46 years that I’ve visited that had good French onion soup. I started my meal with the soup and a sampling of 3 reds... was not disappointed. Food was great; service was great; wonderful ambiance. Zero complaints. 10/10 would go again.

First time having dinner here after a round at golf at Poipu Bay GC. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. We walked in with no reservations but they were very friendly and accommodated us. First up was the Caesar salad, omg!!! I’ve never had a Caesar salad with butter lettuce that just melted in your mouth. Then we had the Ribeye cooked to perfection and it came with a side of roasted vegetables. Dessert was the Lava cake to end our evening. From the constant filling our water glass to checking on how everything was. In our eyes, we can compare this restaurant to Ruth’s Chris. We will definitely be back, heard the French Onion soup is the bomb🤙.

This is my favorite go to on Kauai. I get extremely excited about dinner at this fine place. Always start with their featured wine flight of the night--great way to experience wines not on your radar. I usually have their fish and pair it with the Jean Marc Brocard Chablis. My husband and I never skip out on the warm toffee for desert. Our favorite waitperson, Melia, has a bubbly personality and wine knowledge always making our dining experience exceptional.
