“ Absolutely loved our experience at 1 Kitchen. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor—everything from start to finish felt clean, healthy, and delicious. The service was top-tier: friendly, knowledgeable, and super attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere is unmatched—open, airy, and surrounded by nature, giving you a true farm-to-table island vibe. Easily one of the best dining experiences in Kauai. Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch, or dinner—you can’t go wrong! ”

“ We visited this hotel specifically to see the much-talked-about lobby and decided to have lunch at 1 Kitchen. It turned out to be the most delicious meal we enjoyed during our entire island getaway and easily ranks as one of the finest restaurants on the island. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the restaurant offered a truly spectacular view – one of the best perspectives of the bay and mountains. Our server, Matthew, was an absolute gentleman and exceptionally kind. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, a welcome contrast to other island establishments where the quality of service and food doesn't always match the price. We wholeheartedly recommend them! ”

“ We had an incredible dining experience at 1 Kitchen! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was outstanding, and the view was absolutely gorgeous—a perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. Our server, Rose, made the evening even more special—she was amazing, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond. She gave us fantastic recommendations and was so considerate throughout our meal. Her attentiveness and kindness made our visit unforgettable. Our top items were the Caramelized Eggplant, Better Carrots, Pork Belly, Fresh Local Catch and the Pineapple Crème Brulée. Highly recommend this place, and if you’re lucky enough to have Rose as your server, you’re in for a treat! ”

“ Dined with a very pretentious client of which our company wanted to impress. The views are worth the weight in gold and the best part of the experience. We were blown away by the spectacular service of Jay who detailed the exquisite cuisine and assisted in balancing flavor profiles through every aspect of our dining experience. The drinks were top notch. Highly recommend saving room for dessert. The location is one of a kind and the service emulated is proof of the quality you can expect from 1 kitchen. ”

“ We had Anna as our server for breakfast on our first day here, and we couldn’t be more grateful! Born and raised in Kilauea, she went above and beyond by writing us a day itinerary to explore the place she calls home and thanks to her, we had the best day. Oh, and the breakfast? Absolutely delicious! But Anna? Truly incredible. ”

“ Incredible Food, Stunning Atmosphere & Impeccable Service We had the pleasure of dining at 1 Kitchen at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, and it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. For dinner, we enjoyed the biggest piece of fish we’ve ever had—not just impressive in size but also incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully prepared with the highest quality ingredients, making for a truly exceptional meal. Beyond dinner, we also had two fantastic breakfasts here, and they were just as outstanding. The lemon ricotta pancakes were beautifully presented and absolutely scrumptious, and the buffet was excellent, offering a variety of fresh and delicious options. The stunning view from our breakfast table made every morning feel extra special, setting the perfect tone for the day. On top of the phenomenal food and breathtaking setting, the service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and polished, making us feel truly taken care of. 1 Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone staying at Hanalei Bay or looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Kauai. We can’t wait to return! ”
