Oyster 369 - Kapaa

I visited this restaurant and ordered the grande platter, which was surprisingly small. Since there was only one table that could accommodate four people, I had to wait about 40 minutes. When the food finally arrived, the lobster, weighing around a pound, and the snow crab legs were tasty. Unfortunately, the downside was the size of the shells – they were the tiniest I've ever seen served in a restaurant. Additionally, the Dungeness crab had an off-putting ammonia taste. While the service was excellent, I had higher expectations for the food based on all the great reviews I'd read.

This place was so good that we came here twice in our 3 overnight stay. incredibly fresh and tasty seafood, wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable and funny staff. that's a must when they're on kauai!

We visited on a Friday night at 8:30 and were seated quickly, despite the limited available seating. Oyster 369 serves a tap Pinot Grigio that was good and reasonably priced. We started dinner with a half dozen oysters on the half shell served with mignonette cocktail sauce and house tabasco sauce. We had a variety of different types of oysters, both local and imported, and they were all delicious. Our first main course was the oven-roasted mussels. They were exceptionally well-prepared. We enjoyed a second course of calamari with white beans and olives on a bed of warm kale. This was also really good! Dessert was the Macadamia honey tart. This is a specialty of the restaurant and shouldn't be missed. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

This is on my list to visit and within one hour of getting off the plane, we were seated with a cocktail and already ordered food. The restaurant is small but don?t let that fool you!! The food was excellent! We got both the Poke Bowl 1 and 2 and also got the Quick Ceviche. Great portions for two hunger people and didn?t stuff us. Everything was super fresh. The bread with the ceviche was awesome as well. Everything was delicious. We are here for a week and would have no issues coming back again!

We got the small seafood platter and paired with a nice bottle of white. Very fresh oysters, we went with the combination of all oyster varieties they had at the time. The shrimp was also some of the best shrimp I've ever had... House made cocktail sauce, house made hot sauce, house made mignonette. Really quite impressed. And then prices were very reasonable considering what you get. The small platter easily serves 2 people.
