This is one of the restaurants we make a point to visit while we're in Kauai. We enjoy the intimate ambience, the unhurried service, and the delicious food. Particularly loved the brie with blueberry brandy sauce. Good wines, too. more

We saw the reviews weren't good, but we were going just for happy hour that internet said was from 6-7 with live music. When we got there at 6 they had no happy hour or live music. The drinks were near $10 and they didn't honor the internet prices we had seen for the happy hour drinks. I believe the... more

My husband and I made the horrible mistake of spending our first year wedding anniversary at this restaurant. Everything was under par: service, atmosphere, and especially food. No, the biggest overwhelming disappointment was the price. The food is a million times over better at The Postcard Cafe. This was simply crap. Crappy service, crappy atmosphere and well the food simply... more

We thought we would try this place because a) it was close to our lodging and b) it looked like a pretty cool little place. The only thing it has going for it is the kind of quirky atmosphere. We were seated by a nice hostess, but it went downhill from there. Several other parties were seated after us, but... more

Staff is well trained and service is excellent. Decent location but no views. Eclectic menu, tapas, pizza, salads and a few fish entrees. Very high priced. A clue: an $8.00 bottle of Pinot Grigio sells for $48. more

As a resident of Oahu I travel to Kauai and stay at the Sea Lodge in Princeville four times a year. My first dining experience was when the restaurant was Sabellas back in 2006-2007, Wonderful environment, spectacular food, great staff, the bartender was a class act. Last March on our way back from Hanalei to our condo, we heard this... more

Saffron is supposed to be one of the finest of the restaurants in the north shore of Kauai. We went recently and were disappointed for the following reasons: services and value for dollars. Don't rely on the information posted on the restaurant's website which is out dated. more
