I have visited Kauai on 7 occasions but had never dined at Plantation Gardens. I thought I'd try it. It had been a recommended restaurant in the past. My friend asked for a martini and was told by the server that they are famous for their tropical drinks. We were told that all of the ingredients are "fresh squeezed". My... more

My partner and I ate here for a very relaxing dinner. It was a beautiful atmosphere for dinner, over -looking the orchid gardens from the outdoor porch. The service was not the best (just slow), but we were not in any hurry. The food was very good for the price and the wine list was great. No real complaints and... more

My friend and I went and the food was not at all comparable to the Tide Pools and the Beach House. Both phenomenal. We has a sashimi app and I was less than impressed and thought I could get the same sushi in NJ. Our entrees were both fishes but they were bland and nothing to write home about. The... more

We have been to Kauai numerous times over the past few years, and each time we think we will find a new 'killer' restaurant, but we are inevitably drawn back to Plantation Gardens. We finally decided last week whlie there that we will discontinue searching anymore - we know we've found the best! The atmosphere at Plantation Gardens is so... more

Trying too hard to be a gourmet restaurant. Food is mediocre. I was suspicious from the beginning 'cause we were the only ones there that night. It got a little busy busy towards the end of the night. We did not order dessert, we just wanted to get out of there. more

Our table had a good view of the garden. The food was above average but uneven. My wife ordered a simple Szechwan green bean appetizer that was cooked just right and was very delicious. I ordered the duck egg roll appetizer. It could use a little more duck, but was nonetheless prepared very well and not at all greasy. For... more

I have been here many times and each time I have to talk myself into going back, but every time I go someone really likes what they have ordered -- so I keep going back. Tonight was no different. My son had the stir fry which was pretty good. Fish was a bit tasteless but the ginger sauce was very... more

We had a wonderful dinner at the Plantation Gardens on Wednesday, the 15th. It was the best dinner that we had the entire trip! I had the Ahi encrusted with a citrus panko crust, served atop Maui sweet potatoes. It was delicious! My husband had the seafood Lau Lau with Ono. Yummy! Our drinks were fabulous and recommended by our... more

While staying at the Kiahuna Plantation, my wife and I decided to try the on-site Plantation Gardens for dinner. We were both pleasantly surprised at what a solid value our meal was. The portions were amazingly large and the food was quite good; however, the dinner selections were limited to about six entrees. We had the sea food stir fry... more

Delicious!

My friend had her wedding here. The grounds are beautiful and they helped with every detail. The drinks were great (cucumber mojito, house tea) and the food was delicious. The only thing we didn't enjoy was how long it took to get the food out! But I'm sure for regular restaurant goers, this wouldn't be a problem. Beautiful atmosphere as... more
