What a wonderful experience! We had a really special night at Bar Acuda. From the service to the cocktails, food and atmosphere it was a great evening. Be aware that you'll need to order 2-3 items per person, and it's a bit pricey, but worth it, in my opinion. It's also a romantic spot for couples.

One of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at, and I've eaten at many restaurants in 34 years. First off, the customer service is excellent! The servers are very nice and knowledgeable about each dish. The ambiance is perfect, with light music, soft lighting, and unique restaurant style. The food is absolutely incredible. 10/10. My favorite was the cucumber salad. 2nd was the filet mignon. 3rd is the Papas Ajo! Food is excellent. I would like to come back tomorrow and try 3 more dishes.

Love the tapas! Small enough portions to order several, but each dish has all the flavor and style of a full entree!

One of our favorite meals in Kauai!!! We didn't have a reservation and got to the restaurant at 5:20pm to try to snag bar seating. By 5:30pm there was a long line behind us. In the bar area, they have about 3 high tops for 2 people each and space for about 8 people at the bar. Our waitress was lovely. We loved every single dish. Totally lived up to the hype. Highlights were the scallops, lamb ribs, and fish. Passion fruit cheesecake was to die for.

We waited for a table at the chefs counter. It was fun to order a cocktail, see meals being prepared here, and talk to the chefs. We LOVED the scallops and the cucumber salad. We also got the pizza which was pretty good. The honeycomb goat cheese plate was okay- bread was a bit stale and cold and the apples were bland, honeycomb and cheese were good. We’d love to come back and try other dishes. We sat at the bar and bartenders were friendly and provided excellent service!

I recommend the Hawaiian fish, scallops, lamb riblettes and lilikoi cheesecake. Unfortunately their braised short rib disappointed - husband says it was cooked too long (B's kitchen does it much better). They had yummy cheese pizzas for my kids which was nice.

One of our favourite meals on Kauai! The service and atmosphere were upbeat yet casual. The dishes were all very delicious in a sharing style. Our waiter was able to guide us through ordering with recommendations and paced the meal out based upon his expertise and it was perfect. Cucumber salad, olives, and scallop bite were highlights. We would surely return!
