Review of Tahiti Nui Restaurant

This was (hands down) our favorite dining experience while in Kauai. We went here on a Friday night and were (beyond) pleasantly surprised by the AMAZING live music. This is a restaurant/bar owned and patronized by locals; it was a breath of fresh air. The food was amazing and there were quite a few gluten free options. The staff were very knowledgeable about which menu items were gluten free. I ordered the Baby Back Ribs with garlic mashed potatoes, my partner ordered the RibEye Poke Bowl, and we shared them. Both were absolutely delicious but I think I liked the ribs a little bit more. My partner had their Famous Mai Tai and I had a delicious mocktail (name I can’t remember) that was pineapple, coconut, mint, ginger and turmeric. All around it was a great experience. The staff was very friendly, warm/welcoming environment, delicious food, AMAZING live music, and smiles all around. You definitely should experience Tahiti Nui while you are in Kauai.
