Ate out all 8 nights of my trip to the island and red salt was hands down the best experience we had. The food was out of this world as were the drinks. All of the rolls were fantastic, as was the Lobster Gnocchi and the tasting menu offering. For drinks of course the Mai Tai was great but would also suggest trying the margarita with Rum. The Ultimate Espresso martini also very good but extremely expensive ($32). Hard to justify a $30 drink!

Ambiance- 5/5
Nice views and decor
It can be a good spot for a romantic dinner
Service -5/5
Attentive and friendly
One server did drop utensils accidentally and food got on my mom’s dress but other than that it was great! We came for her birthday so they did a small birthday pizookie type thing which was nice
Drinks: 4/5 I got the poipu paradise and it was delish. Tasted the Mai tai and pina colada as well. Both good. Mai tai at merrimans is way better. I got an espresso martini for dessert and it was 4/5. All the drinks are definitely overpriced but decent
Food-5/5
We came a few years ago before pandemic and I think the food has gotten better
Appetizers:
Scallops: 5/5 perfectly cooked and flavors were great . So good we got a second order! Would definitely recommend!
Foie gras: 5/5 I love foie gras and it’s a good version. Portion is small it’s good for 2 people
Bone marrow:2/5 the only thing I was really disappointed in. Super small amount of bone marrow and lots of grilled onions or something on top that overpowered the flavor
We would have gotten two orders had it been good. Bummer.
Entree: 5/5 I got the local fish. It was tender and flavorful. Loved the side of mushrooms too. Tried my mom’s crispy Cornish game hen which was tender and very good!!! Haricot verts also cooked well

While visiting Kauai, I unexpectedly ran into some friends that I don’t know were also visiting, and we decided to go out for dinner. I hadn’t heard of Red Salt before, but they couldn’t stop talking about how great it was, so of course we had to try it.
From the moment we walked in, I was impressed. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxed but elegant, and the service was absolutely on point. The food completely blew me away. The scallops were probably some of the best I’ve ever had, and the lobster gnocchi was next-level good.
It’s definitely on the higher end price-wise, but honestly, you get exactly what you pay for. Everything about the experience was worth it, and I’d come back here in a heartbeat the next time I’m on the island.

Pricey but decent food. The focaccia bread was horrible, seemed like it was a day or 2 old and zero taste.
Entrees we had the hen something (whole chicken) and the rib eye (14oz) both were very good. Mash potatoes as a side, tiny portion but decent.
The Hawaiian bread pudding for dessert is a MUST order, delicious.

The food was delicious and our server, Candice, was one of the best we’ve ever had! We even found out she used to live in the same town as us 🙂 She is incredibly sweet and gave some great recommendations. We would come back just to visit Candice and of course have some great food and drinks!

I wondered if we were still going to be hungry after I got my first and second course. We were fine. I would have given higher marks if my food was at least warm. Cold scallop, cold mahimahi. The drinks were good and should be at $25 per.. probably won’t do that again.

Delicious food, excellent service.
The menu has a bit of everything, great variety, very seafood forward. Everything we had was delicious.
The service was very friendly, professional, and helpful from the valets to the hostess to the server (Jo was excellent).
The restaurant space isn’t great. It’s very loud (bad acoustics – there were some VERY loud people at the bar and it reverberated throughout); the seating isn’t very comfortable; it was hot and stuffy; and the view is of the hotel’s pool bar and loungers, with a sliver of ocean in the distance. But the food and service make this restaurant a total must.

We stayed at the resort for a week and were very satisfied with the delicious meals we ordered at Red Salt for breakfast, poolside lunch, and especially dinner! The desserts were tasty, too. I recommend the breakfast tacos, the short rib, sticky ribs and truffle fries!

Incredible food. Seriously one of the best meals we have had. The Red Salt burger is a must. Drinks were perfect. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Also they were very accommodating and mindful of our food allergies. Worth every penny, thank you to the crew

Tita Marlina was an absolute gem, she was attentive and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She also made us feel like VIPs from start to finish, and her warm personality turned a great meal into an unforgettable experience! The food was delicious and we enjoyed every plate.
