Lemongrass Grill Kauai - Kapaa

Pros: Plenty of parking available, even during the busiest hour. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was authentic and welcoming. Macadamia nut seabass I ordered was DELICIOUS. It was surprisingly more sweet, than I expected. However, it just made perfect sense in that dish. The rice and vegetables side complemented the fish beautifully. Grilled Mahi Mahi which was the catch of the day was to die for. Absolutely delicious, moist, full of flavor. The staff was very nice and attentive. Prices was very affordable. Mai Tai cocktails were delicious. Cons: Didn't find any.

There was a bad odor when we walked in and the smell in the restrooms was even worst. It was hot inside so the hosts set everyone outside on the patio. The food was decent. I could not get past the smell. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp scampi that he absolutely loved. The service was good. Servers were nice and friendly.

We came in and were promptly seated. For $12 you get a tasty cocktail in a cool looking glass. We sat outside, the chairs and table were chipping paint and you’re right next to a busy street. We ordered crab cakes as an appetizer but it never arrived. When we got our main we asked the server but decided to skip it at that point. The catch of the day (mahi mahi) was good! My wife orders the seafood mix but she wasn’t impressed. We got the hula ice cake for desert which was pretty good. What I disliked about the service is that it was so fast, literally the second I took my last bite a server came to collect my plates as I was still chewing it. But I liked the food and drink.

We had an amazing dinner and experience! The macadamia nut sea bass was delicious!!

Macadamia nut crusted sea bass and coconut shrimp were amazing! Reasonably priced for generous portions.
