oh really lza sure that one lane bridge leads into Hanalei. Now I have to see that before we leave.

Sarah, Lilo & Stich also had the Kilauea lighthouse - which I recognized right away from the many pictures I saw. The movie itself probably was not in the same league with Lion King but pretty good nevertheless. It may actually be fun to see it in Kauai on rainy day, I am sure your niece would enjoy it too if she has not seen it yet.

I am just wonder if it will still be on the island in mid August. Can't get more details on the internet, Thanks

For good but expensive restaurants at which we ate in late May/early June:<BR>A Pacific Cafe, Kapa'a (in a tacky shopping center, but the decor inside is fine)<BR>Beach House, Poipu (great view, but it got buggy the night we were there in early June)<BR>Casa Di Amici, Poipu (in a residential area, so there aren't ocean views, but the decor is attractive, and it offers a break from Hawaiian)<BR>For good, more moderately-priced dinner:<BR>Keoki's Paradise, Poipu (has American as well as Hawaiian-style entrees and nice atmosphere)<BR>Avoid:<BR>House of Seafood (over-cooked fish in sauces that sound good but don't work, and little atmosphere to boot)<BR><BR>Also do your own research at the websites for Gayot, Fodor's, Frommer, and Zagat. Also check out books like Ultimate Kauai, the Unofficial Guide to Hawaii, and Hawaii for Dummies.<BR>

I am surprised noone has mentioned Brick Oven Pizza in Kaleheo. A local restaurant that has been around for years and has the reputation for the best pizza on the island. I would go so far as to say it is some of the best pizza I have ever eaten , hands down. Do NOT miss this place if you love pizza!!!!!!! Yummy.

I believe Kal was referring to Brick Oven Pizza when he said "The Brick". Great pizza!

A 2nd vote for Postcards in Hanalei. So good we ate there twice in 5 nights last October. They mainly have seafood and veggie dishes so maybe it won't work that well for picky eaters but for the rest of us...

Hula,<BR>Yep..."Dah Brick".<BR>(It will be Gino's East in 24 days!)<BR><BR>I wondering about a prior Kauai post where someone mentioned sushi in the Princeville Hotel?<BR><BR>Kalaheo Steakhouse was another good after golf stop on the way back.<BR><BR>And, I can't wait for the Kalua Pork "Nui Nachos" at The Waimea Brew Co!<BR>Kal

My husband & I were in Kauai last March & stayed at the Princeville (what an amazing place). They do have a sushi bar. My recommendations for a picky eater would be Gaylords Plantation & Dukes (in the Mariott). We had great dinners at both places. We also ate at a Mexican place in Hanalei, which was very resonable. Don't forget about Bubba Burgers!

Maybe it's just me, but I thought Duane's Ono Burger was just an ordinary fried piece of unseasoned meat with the regular fixins. Am I missing something??? Nothing unique there!<BR><BR>I won't waste my money there again.
