Reviews for The Tasting Room in Koloa, HI
A lovely little spot with a really good wine list, a very nice representation of liquor and beer, knowledgable staff / owners,... good food and a nice vibe. Loved the ability to create your own wine flight. Also loved the fried chicken. Will very likelyreturn before we leave Kauai. Read more
Really cannot recommend this place enough. Found it by random happenstance and was totally blown away by the awesome food menu... and an incredible wine and liquor menu with a staff that really appreciates it. The entire staff was so amazingly kind andknowledgeable. After we found this spot we didn?t go anywhere else for dinner for the rest of our trip. Tried multiple dishes onthe menu and everything impressed. Charcuterie was spot on, couldn?t get enough of the onion soup, and the recommended wineflight was spectacular. In my opinion this is a must on a Kauai trip, and I know we won?t miss it next time we are on theisland. Thank you SO MUCH!! Read more
Best restaurant, experience and service we have had all week while staying in Kauai. Danielle created a phenomenal experience as... our waitress. Could not have been happier. A must for anyone looking for the best of the best!!!! Read more
Ok, went to the wine store first & loved the people, they run The Tasting Room and it sure didn't disappoint! My only regret is... not having enough room to eat the bone marrow special ???? Wine flights are fabulous, will def be back! Read more
After a very long day traveling around the island we had no set plans for dinner. We had wanted to try this restaurant but... didn?t make it a point to reserve a spot. We had six in our party (4 adults and 2 children) so that?s not an easy reservation tomake in general. We headed here just before giving up and going home. Lucky us? a reservation for six just canceled as we pulledup to the front door. Let?s get down to it(sorry for the preamble). The menu is limited but focused - love this! Started with abottle of wine and the charcuterie board and this tired group devoured every morsel in the board - excellent! Three adults hasthe catch of the day of Mahi Mahi served pesto crusted on a bed of angel hair pasta with olive oil and garlic. This dish was outof this world! Loved it from the first perfect bite (consensus of all adults and a child that this was a superb dish). The otheradult and child had the braised short ribs which all agreed were amazing as well (can you tell that sharing was happeninghere?). Desert for the youngest in the group only(three spoons though) it was a lavender/honey panacotta - so good. Oh, forgotto mention that every staff interaction was beyond just pleasant. These people are very kind and very helpful(you could tellthey were smiling beneath their masks) - an amazing group that made the food that much more enjoyable - thank you good people,you made our night! I don?t think 5 stars should be handed out lightly because you gotta be close to perfect but? hands down,The Tasting Room is a must - please don?t miss it! Read more
An absolute gem in Koloa. Excellent service, personal touch, super knowledgeable, and food was great. When you're drowning in... overly sweet hotel cocktails this is where you can escape to. The selection is quite large and you're able to buy most bottlesnext door. I'd consider food to be secondary for place like this, but it was really fresh and tasty. The Braised ono, beetsalad, and olive tapenade were small shareable plates and went well together. Pro move, get the goat cheese from the beet saladand use it with your tapenade. You'll thank me later. Read more
Not too sure why it?s taken us so long to try The Tasting Room, but I?m so glad we finally did! The restaurant and bar are very... cozy and inviting. We got to sit on the patio and listen to the live music (only on Saturday nights). It was just a nice and funplace to be on a Kauai evening. We don?t drink, but they have an impressive alcohol menu and a really awesome selection of smallplates to share. We tried a lot of things and EVERYTHING was delicious! The flatbread, burrata and seared prime filet were standouts. Our server Malia was super helpful and fun and helped make this a great experience. We will definitely be coming back andI highly recommend you give this restaurant a try. Read more
Shining oasis for food and drink in an otherwise ordinary restaurant scene. Great vibe and friendly team. The sisters... (owners) really knocked it out of the park. Comfort food meets wine bar meets local watering hole. Well done! Happy 3rdanniversary! Read more
