Timbers Kaua‘i's Oceanfront Restaurant Hualani’s

Experience one of the best restaurants on the island and enjoy farm-to-table oceanfront dining from the elegant yet relaxed setting at Hualani’s on Kaua‘i.

Here, oceanfront dining is influenced by the seasons. What’s fresh at The Farm at Hōkūala inspires the farm-to-table menu, while our bar serves up well-balanced craft cocktails that complement the seasonality of the kitchen.

Our culinary experience is inspired by a sense of place and driven by local farmers, as well as fresh-picked ingredients from our on-site organic farm. From the morning harvest and the daily catch, ​​Hualani’s shines a hyper-local spotlight on the bounty of the Garden Isle.

Reservations at Hualani’s are highly recommended. Join us on the first Saturday of the month from 5:30 PM to 6:15 PM for a hula show.

Reviews from Our Guests

  • We had dinner on our last night of our trip here. I was originally trying to go to other recommended options but man am I glad those didn’t work out. This by far was the best meal we had during our vacation. Everything about it was magic!
