We came here kind of as a last resort after the Dolphin was super rude and Kalypso was no longer seating (and also pretty rude tbh). I’m so glad we did. This place is amazing! Cute little restaurant with an adorable outside area. The food was incredible. We split the Caesar salad and Tofu Nori. Highly recommend both. Drinks were good. Our server Kevin was a doll. He was super busy but killed it. The hostess was crushing it too. After two weird experiences, coming here saved our night and made my friends last dinner on Kauai special. Definitely a place worth checking out.

Disappointed in the taste and strength of their mai tais – the old fashioned was delicious. My wagyu beef was cooked too long when I ordered it medium rare – they also topped it too much. Meals were overpriced and less impressive than the meals we had the night before at B’s kitchen. Beautiful atmosphere.

An absolute must stop! This was by far my most favorite meal on my 11 day trip. The menu is small but from what I can tell you won’t need more than they offer. They have something for everyone. Grab a reservation if you can.

Sat at the bar and had a warm welcome from Jeff the bartender. Food was great – ordered a ricotta/peach starter and tofu curry and sashimi. For dessert, had the ice cream mudslide. Expensive but seems like everything on the island is! Definitely recommend.

Absolutely marvelous dining experience. Some of the best ceviche I’ve had. The crispy leek salad was delicious. The market fish was swordfish when we were there, and it was cooked perfectly. I can’t recommend the food enough. The drinks were something special too. Be sure to make a reservation! Left feeling satisfied, happy, and full of new memories. Mahalo!

OMG. All of the flavors were on point. Absolutely everything we ordered from our appetizers to our main course was a surprise to our taste buds. The best place to eat in Hanalei. If you are a foodie, you must check out this place. You will not be disappointed.

The other day I made a reservation at postcard. I felt very lucky to have been able to make the reservation the same day. I called at 3:00 pm in the afternoon and got a reservation for 8:30 pm same day. I suppose you should make a reservation with more time. We arrived at the restaurant about 15 minutes early, the table was already ready and we were seated immediately. They gave us a good explanation about the different dishes and told us they didn’t have some available. At the time of ordering they only had three dishes out of 9 dishes on the menu and at the same time they did not have anything available for children. They apologized for the situation. we actually couldn’t stay for dinner. we had to leave late. It’s hard to find another place In the area at 8:50pm. the vast majority of restaurants close at 9:00 pm. In occasions like this I suggest. They can have a certificate or discount for a next occasion, also a pass to make a reservation easier. unfortunately it couldn’t be a good experience. apparently the quality is good and different.

On our last night in Kauai, we traveled a short way from our lodging to check out Postcards Restaurant, and we are so glad we did. My wife and I arrived a bit before they opened, and found out they were booked for the evening (and not quite open yet). Jeff, the bartender then told us if we could stop back in 30 minutes when rhey opened he could most likely get us in at the bar. He did, and the service (from greeting to leaving after the incredible meal) was top notch. Jeff is super knowledgeable about food, wine and life. We got the chef special as well as one of the other signature dishes and followed it up with a great dessert. Wow. Wow. Wow. This has definitely become a favorite and we will be back. Make a reservation, but sit at the bar and let Jeff and team take care of you. You will not be disappointed.

This was the best dinning experience we had on the island by far. Kevin was a fantastic waiter! The lamb, swordfish, and wagyu were absolutely fantastic. A little more expensive than some places but not by much. If you are a looking for a very nice meal in a comfortable welcoming environment with great staff don’t hesitate to come here.

Wonderful experience at this adorable little joint. Walked in after a long day of hiking and they were able to sit us at the bar, may want to consider a reservation ahead of time if you can though. Jeff the bartender as wonderful! Also my tofu dish was delicious. Appreciate the creativity and eclectic nature of the dishes. Overall a much better experience than any other sit down dining restaurant experience we’ve had while on the island. Upscale and classy but okay to wear hiking clothes if you didn’t bring a change of clothes.
