Stopped here for lunch and dinner during recent vacation. Atmosphere is pretty laid back - comfortable setting, often live music playing, nice layout. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Food is terrific, drinks can run on the "creative" side. As other reviews suggest - it's bigger inside than it appears. Please note: it sometimes gets busy and service slows down a bit (at least it was at dinner) as staff is attentive to customers (also see: Island Time). Like many other restaurants on the Island, it can get a bit pricey, however portion sizes are good. One of us ordered the 12 oz prime rib and ended up with something closer to 14 or a pound (we actually had to confirm they didn't goof up and charge us for the 24 oz). I noticed an earlier review expressing frustration over a lack of gluten-free options. To be fair to Keoki's, the menu makes it clear that certain items may not be made with ingredients containing gluten, however it's possible they could be exposed to gluten due to the nature of their kitchen. If you are extremely sensitive to gluten, do your research ahead of time. Look up the menu. If you're unclear on something, call them ahead of time and check. They genuinely seem to care about getting things right and will answer your questions. If you don't mind a little slowness during the evening (more time to take in the atmosphere), I'd highly recommend this place.

This is a local market that has TONS of packaged gluten free options. Definitely come here to get some safe gluten free snacks.

Anake’s is THE place for açaí bowls in Kauai! My friends and I loved our bowls, which were a fresh and energizing start to the day. The juice bar is located inside of a grocery store called Kukuiula Grocery store. We arrived 10 minutes after opening time, and we waited almost an hour to get our bowls because of the line. However, they were well worth the wait! My bowl had a thickly and creamy texture, unlike some other watery bowls I’ve had from other establishments. I ordered the large Sau Sai bowl with açaí, strawberry, banana, blueberries, and almond milk. They were out of gluten free granola and kindly replaced it with extra chia seeds instead. They had plenty of gluten free and vegan options. I have Celiac, and I felt safe ordering and felt fine after! There are a couple places to sit inside the store, but seating is limited. I recommend taking your bowl to-go and eating outside or in your car.

The owner has celiac disease and they have organic syrups and really yummy shaved ice. Definitely worth a visit. They also have food options and the owner knows how to prep even in a small food truck to prevent cross contact.

An opulent buffet with a large assortment of gluten free options. You can order from the menu but the buffet is a better deal. Besides the normal breakfast options they also have dim sum and a selection of Hawaiian fruit. They will also bring gluten free pancakes on request. The restaurant itself is a beautiful setting with great views. Make sure to visit the macaws on your way in.
