Favorite meal on the island by far! Alexis was our server for our table of 5. We called ahead to reserve a table but there was a mix up and we ended up having to wait, but they were very apologetic and made up for it in the end. I had a perfectly concocted cocktail called Take a Hike while we waited. We started with the Kauai hummus which was really unique and beautifully presented. For my entree I had the lamb and a side of the mushrooms, again top notch presentation with tons of flavor and perfectly cooked. Finally, the mango sorbet was the perfect way to end our night as it was bursting with flavor. Alexis was very welcoming and attentive. We were pleased with all the vegetarian options as well.

My husband and I visited here on Valentines Day, which is a notoriously difficult time to review a restaurant at it’s normal excellence, but Postcards did not disappoint. We were seated outside on the patio, which was quiet and very comfortable in February, as it is covered to avoid the rain. Our waiter, Logan, made our whole experience even better; his service was great, and his attitude was one of kindness, with a very chill vibe. Our food was absolutely excellent, and by California standards, in many cases was very reasonable cost wise. We ordered the leek salad with soba noodles, which was incredible, with so much texture. We also ordered the marlin tiradito, which came in this incredible spicy pineapple sauce. This was perhaps my favorite dish of the night. Mid-way through the dinner Logan brought by a Rose for valentines day, which was a nice touch. For our mains, we ordered the catch of the day, as well as the wagyu strip, which were both incredible. The presentations were really unique. The wine list was also relatively good, particularly given that they had a lovely Chianti Classico Riserva for a reasonable price, that was wonderful! Overall, we’d recommend this restaurant to anyway, and shout out to Logan for being such a wonderful server!

Friendly service, good food. We had the Marlin carpaccio which was delicious. The arugula salad was very good. The scallops, wagu steak, and the vegetarian pasta were all great. The fish of the day was Ahi, which we didn’t have because we had eaten ahi the night before. The gluten free and vegan selections were clearly denoted on the menu. My only complaint is I would like to see another local fish selection on the menu.

For somewhere that aspires to offer an upscale dining experience, this place was pretty mediocre. Or maybe even bad.
We arrived at our reservation time, and a lady with an iPad asked us to wait, for what turned out to be ten minutes, for our table to be readied for us. Once we sat down we were ignored for twenty more minutes before a sheepish waitress came over to take our orders. Apparently, despite the iPad, nobody had been assigned to wait our table once we were put there. We knew they knew they’d messed up, because they comped our drinks.
I can forgive a lot of poor service if the food turns out to be delicious (my wife, a former server, maybe less so). But maybe one out of the three dishes – the leek and noodle salad that we had as a starter – was any good. My ‘market fish’, an ahi filet, was served to me cooked medium well, and I really don’t know what it (or I) had done to deserve that punishment. My wife’s scallops were not overcooked, but were inconsistently seasoned, and served with a puree that was closer to flavorless than ‘carrot’.
I don’t know if the desserts were any good, because once we’d finished our mains, we paid up and left. We won’t be coming back.

Wonderful shot for island cuisine with attention to detail. The chef’s creativity was on full display and the bartender had island twists on some favorites. It’s cute and quaint for both indoor and outdoor seating options. Portions were modest but filling (and definitely uniquely crafted).

Easily the best restaurant we went to while in Kauai and my favorite meal of 2025. 5/5 recommend. Super cute restaurant, lovely atmosphere that’s relaxed yet upscale. Welcoming and attentive service.
Here’s what we ordered and tried. We shared everything.
1) crispy leek salad (our server pointed it out, do not skip this)
2) ahi tartare with caviar (has a beautiful ginger shoyu on the base)
3) coriander crusted ahi
4) wagyu NY strip (it may seem basic to order a steak, but WOW it was the best steak I’ve had in years)
5) chèvre cheesecake

I can’t speak for the other items on the menu. But if you order these items, I guarantee that you will love your meal.

Food was very tasty – loved the crusty savory ahi tuna. Nice ambience in the evening and seating out on the lanai but honestly the service was not it. They took a while to get us seated (had a reservation) and after taking a while to get our order in they didn’t come check in on us once. Mind you they weren’t even that busy. We had a late lunch so we ordered a very light dinner so maybe we weren’t considered prime customers? It was low key rude.

Reservations are advised. This place appears to serve primarily upscale clientele, didn’t have much of a local vibe. Food was fantastic! Lots of flavor, creative dishes, a bit pricey. Two people, one drink, dinner, dessert, $250 – Well worth it for delicious food. If you’re super hungry, keep in mind, portion sizes are moderate.

Authentic charm, with a decades-long dedicated owner. Arugula salad and mushrooms were fresh and perfect. Pasta could have used a little less salt and added protein, especially since it was one of two vegetarian entrees. Bartender was knowledgeable and helpful. Server was very warm and friendly. The building is a nicely preserved and updated plantation home from the 1800s. If I could only go to one restaurant in Hanalei, I would go here.

Came here on our Honeymoon. The service was all business not friendly but efficient. The cocktails were nothing special but reasonably priced considering. The appetizer – Ahi Tartar was crazy good and our favorite item with the caviar. The lamb and swordfish were also very good. Really enjoyed our dinner
