We had fish with Soba noodles and lamb. the first was excellent, the lamb ok, bite overdone and with sweet some of them little taste. also the senf sauce was a bit dry. a very positive experience. recommended, not least for the attentive service.
Ordered and food arrived for kids almost immediately. An hour later and food had not arrived. Asked and the waitress brushed us off. Suddenly the chef sends us an apology- but everyone else around us who arrived 30-45 mins after us had their dishes already. When we asked to speak to a a manager, he never apologized. Simply explained that the ticket went in wrong. Will never ever recommend this place. Food was less than par. Service was horrible. Don’t go. Dana is a waitress that doesn’t deserve to work here.
A visit to JO2 is a musts for us whenever we visit Kauai. For the budget conscious, try the $35 special from 5 pm to 6 pm. They offer a wine pairing at a reasonable price for a good healthy serving. You will get a great sample of their menu and, for me, I don’t leave feeling empty. If you go with the menu, I like the crispy duck confit salad and green bean tempura.
Years ago we always ate at A Pacific Cafe in Kauai. We were so sad when it closed. Chef Josselin has now opened JO2.. The menu is a bit different but the essence of the flavors of the original restaurant is still there. The scallop raviolis are a must..the fish was fresh and the human lamb was delicious.
My family and I had an amazing culinary experience here. We chose about 8 plates from the small plates and vegetables menus to share amongst four of us and our waitress was so amazing and coursed the dishes out for us from lightest to heaviest. We lovedspending a good amount of time savoring each of the dishes which came out with a nice amount of time in between. Each dish wasso well seasoned and thought out that you could not want for anything else. The flavors melded together perfectly and theplating was just beautiful to look at. It truly was an experience, not just a meal.
