We love the food, atmosphere, cool vibes and excellent service at “S.O.V.” Our waiter this time was Alan. Always exceptional! This group is servers, hostesses, bartenders and support staff are some of the best in Kauai!

Our waiter, Allen and the staff were all very kind and attentive. Only giving 4 stars because the fish and chips weren't the best. The parm fishwas really good. There was also only one option for the fish dishes. Fairly certain you need reservations to eat here as well.We would recommend, just call first to see what fish they have that day to make sure you like it.

This is mostly a food review Honestly, an underwhelming experience. If you are looking for the high quality food that matches the price, I would not come here.... read more This is mostly a food review Honestly, an underwhelming experience. If you are looking for the high quality food that matches the price, I would not come here. I came in with my 3 brothers and all of us were not very impressed at all with thefood. For the price point it really is not worth it unless you just want the view. The one thing we enjoyed, food wise, was thebuffalo sausage! However, our server was awesome and very attentive to us. All of the staff was very welcoming and warm, and weenjoyed the ambiance. I recommend it as a great spot to go get a drink and mingle! Purely writing this review not to slam therestaurant, but to inform any newbies to the island (like us) to know what they’re getting in to! This island ain’t cheap sofind the best spots to use your money wisely!
