Review of Kauai Restaurants And Dining With Princeville And Poipu Beach (Paperback)

I am one of those people who does NOT live to eat, so I am anything but knowledgeable about food and restaurants. My top picks are often hamburgers and French fries, or pizza. When contemplating my first trip to Hawaii, I definitely needed help with where and what I was going to eat, in what I consider a foreign land. The last thing I wanted to do was to sign up for a guided tour, but with this book, I feel that I can survive on my own.

Since fine dining is not one of my priorities, I appreciated the numerous places, in the book, that offer very reasonable prices, and casual dress. The "Getting Around" section offers great tips in navigating this foreign land, and the "Quirks & Caveats" and "Cuisines" sections clarify the choices I will be faced with when I land on the island.

Each individual review gives all the necessary details such as hours, location, phone number, web site, as well as sample menu items, and prices. Finally, the authors' comments on "impressions" described the intangible issues of ambiance like the type of view I will enjoy with the meal, to help me make my choice.

After finishing the book, I can't wait to get to Kauai!!

From the Author
Like everywhere else the Hawaii restaurant scene is in a perpetual state of flux. As one landlord told us, "I've had three different operators in that spot over five years and not one of them closed because their business failed." We keep up with this ebb and flow by maintaining a set of update files.
