Bar Acuda Hanalei Reviews from The Last Year
Delicious meal and great service!
Great meal and service. The restaurant went to the trouble to seat 8 of us and we were thrilled. It was a special night with 4 of us celebrating 50 years of marriage. The meal was delicious. This place is a must if you are visiting Hanalei!
Favorite place in Kauai!
This restaurant was fantastic for our birthday celebration! The tapas all had unique and flavorful tastes that made each bite actually"fun". Waitstaff was excellent and vibes were just right! You most go!
30th Anniversary dinner did not disappoint
Amazing all around experience! I searched for a nice restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and made reservations well in advance. Am I glad that I did! Relaxed atmosphere at a classy restuarant. The service was exceptional and the menu and odering suggestions were very helpful. We enjoyed the Brioche rolls, Papas Ajo, Grilled Filet Mignon as our main meal. We were not planning on dessert but our attentive waitress acknowledged that the reservation stated it was our anniversary and that warranted a dessert. We decided on the Flourless Chocolate cake. It was served with ice cream and a decorative white chocolate bar with anniversary wishes. This place really went above in making our dinner memorable!
Top Ten Lifetime Meal
We stayed in the South Shore and got used to paying five star prices for three star food. But Bar Acuda was worth every penny. Their chef is clearly incredibly talented and inventive. We got mahi mahi, scallops, papas Rojas, the cucumber salad, and the honeycomb goat cheese and everything was wonderful. I’m not sure I’ve ever had such a perfectly cooked piece of fish. And the drinks were the best we had on the island, by far. It’s just everything you’d want out of a special dinner—wonderful service, great ambiance, and among the best food we’ve ever had. We got in line at 4:50 for bar seating and it worked perfectly. If we ever come back I’d love to get reservations and sit outside.
Been coming to the island for 3 back to back years and this
Been coming to the island for 3 back to back years and this is by far the best restaurant.
Will do it again
Great food - cost us $170 for two, but if you want a good place to eat - this is it. Cucumber salad, braised short ribs, & believe it - rolls/butter were great
Really nice food and good service.
On the expensive side but good for a special night out
Bar Acuda has mazing food and great service.
It's one of our favorite spots and we return any time we can!
I have to say that this review of Bar Acuda is not good.
I went on line 30 days prior to my desired time at 6:15 am EST ( 1:15 am HST) My response on line was "got it". I did not see a response that said this time was not available. Now I could have made a mistake in the process. I waited for a confirmation like I have received from over 10 restaurants that I have made during my 2 week trip to Maui and Kauai this March/April. ( make up trip because of the fire in Lahaina last year) As I said I may have made a mistake. The problem there is no way to confirm if I have a reservation. They do not answer phone calls, text message or emails. This kind of Customer Service is not acceptable. Disappointed & Frustrated Doug Moulton
Food is awesome.
Great Service. Not cool to have customers to pay % added to bill for money towards employees health care fund. We pay our own health care
Change the bread????
Just as good as ever but why did they have to change the recipe for the bread. That was the best part of the meal. Our very picky friends loved every tapa we ordered. Great service.
Love this place! The food is incredible - everything is
Love this place! The food is incredible - everything is delicious. Great flavor combinations. The service is always impeccable!! Hard to get a reservation but it's like striking gold when you do!
By far the best food we had on the island but also super
By far the best food we had on the island but also super hard to get a reso and very pricy. Our two favorite dishes were the cucumber salad and the sea scallops. Those are a must have. Service was great and the drinks were well made. Would go back when visiting the north shore and want something upscale.
The food so good, the atmosphere, and the drinks were sooo
The food so good, the atmosphere, and the drinks were sooo good I forgot to take pictures. (that's how good it is) It's $$$... BUT DO NOT let that stop you. Avoid the $$$ at "The Dolphin" down the street and come to Bar Acuda. That's where your money should be spent vs the over-hyped sushi you'll get at The Dolphin. Bar Acuda is a culinary masterpiece, excellent cuisine and fine dining (while wearing shorts) on a small island! Small, shareable dishes. It's a Hawaiian take on traditional tapas. Great bar menu and a beautiful atmosphere. A must-stop destination for sure. Note: MAKE RESERVATIONS before you get to Hawaii! (they take them 30 days in advance)
The food and service are delightful! Drinks are delicious.
We have enjoyed everything we have ever ordered. It's a favorite place when staying In Princeville for a great night out.
Great good and people.
Sat at the bar where the owners work. Completely enjoyable experience.
Best food on Kauai!
We had the best best best meal at Bar Acuda during our 5 day stay in Hanalei. We stayed at 1 Hotel Hanalei and I must say that Bar Acuda knocked our socks off and was sooo much better than the hotel restaurants. We had wished we made bookings at Bar Acuda every night! Highlights: Cucumber Salad was epic! Scallops awesome and fresh catch of the day! Highly recommend!
DON’T BUY INTO THE HYPE!
Nothing special here! We ordered the tomato bruschetta, ahi fish, cucumber salad and potatoes covered in what tasted like jarred bbq sauce, 2 beers and a glass of rose for $140 plus tip. Rather mediocre at best. What a concept: small plates with less food and high prices! One bright spot was the waitress, she was attentive and pleasant. The restaurant was very loud. Go elsewhere, and NOT The Dolphin. The hostess there is rude and dismissive.
Wonderful experience.
Great tapas and strong wine list, good service, and it is open air and lively. But you need to book weeks in advance. One of our best meals this vacation.
Always a Treat.
Consistently the best restaurant in Hanalei. We have been coming the Bar Acuda for many years and have found it to be consistently exceptional in quality and service. It isn’t cheap, but we’ll worth the price. I even found a Spanish wine from Basque Country not usually on restaurant menus. Txakoli (pronounced chocoli) was a pleasant find. The only advice I would provide is to make your reservation 30 days in advance or show up at 4:45 to get a table for an early dinner.
Lives up to the hype
Just a tremendous meal. We had 8 tapas, and 7 were just spectacular. Service also outstanding. Try and get a reservation - it’s worth it
Great food.
Excellent food. Great quality, fresh and yummy. Portion size is not optimal for the price they charge. It is a great restaurant and worthy of the positive reviews but it's one of those places where you get a small food portion in the middle of a large plate - and we were still hungry after the experience. Our server was good. Ambience was good. It was a one time experience for us and we are glad we did it but will explore other dining options when in Kauai again.
Taps in Hanalei!
This was a fantastic meal! Every dish was just fantastic. My only complaint was that I felt it was overpriced for what you got. The food was fantastic so I give it 5 stars! This place takes reservations 30-days out and they will fill up on the same day, so if you want to visit here you need to plan ahead. We were able to book the 5:30 spot which is right when they open. Service was great and food was out fast! Highly recommend this place!
Amazing meal!
This was our favorite meal on the island. The honeycomb, cucumber salad, bruschetta, and the cold brew dessert were our highlights.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
