Fodor's Review:

Terra-cotta floors, hand-painted murals, and trompe-l'oeil paintings give La Cascata a Tuscan-villa flair that makes it ideal for cozy, romantic dining. Picture windows offer dazzling views of Hanalei Bay, though you'll have to come before sunset to enjoy them. Local ingredients figure prominently on a fairly standard menu of pasta, fresh seafood, and meats prepared with competence and creativity. Savor Brodetto di Pesce (prawns, snapper, scallops, and clams with a lobster bourdelaise sauce served over linguine) or black-pepper-crusted duck breast with a sweet-potato mash and griotte cherry gastrique. The traditional tiramisu is exquisite, and the signature baby cake is a very adult confection. The service is professional and efficient. This is one of two excellent—though pricey—restaurants at the luxurious Princeville Resort.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

You will pay way too much for a dinner you could get at an upscale restaurant anywhere in the U.S. I wouldn't say the staff is rude but they make you feel like they're doing you a big favor by patronizing the place. So don't, and you'll come out ahead.
