HUKILAU LANI (Kapaa)
Fresh fish and fresh air are two things one could reasonably expect from a restaurant called Hukilau Lanai. Fortunately, this Kaua'i eatery lives up to its name, and then some, serving near-flawless meals in a setting as comfortably familiar as a friend's covered lanai. Some ocean view. 808-822-0600
