Postcards Restaurant

Easily the best restaurant we went to while in Kauai and my favorite meal of 2025. 5/5 recommend. Super cute restaurant, lovely atmosphere that’s relaxed yet upscale. Welcoming and attentive service. Here’s what we ordered and tried. We shared everything. 1) crispy leek salad (our server pointed it out, do not skip this) 2) ahi tartare with caviar (has a beautiful ginger shoyu on the base) 3) coriander crusted ahi 4) wagyu NY strip (it may seem basic to order a steak, but WOW it was the best steak I’ve had in years) 5) chèvre cheesecake — I can’t speak for the other items on the menu. But if you order these items, I guarantee that you will love your meal.

Reservations are advised. This place appears to serve primarily upscale clientele, didn’t have much of a local vibe. Food was fantastic! Lots of flavor, creative dishes, a bit pricey. Two people, one drink, dinner, dessert, $250 - Well worth it for delicious food. If you’re super hungry, keep in mind, portion sizes are moderate.

Came here on our Honeymoon. The service was all business not friendly but efficient. The cocktails were nothing special but reasonably priced considering. The appetizer - Ahi Tartar was crazy good and our favorite item with the caviar. The lamb and swordfish were also very good. Really enjoyed our dinner

Wonderful shot for island cuisine with attention to detail. The chef's creativity was on full display and the bartender had island twists on some favorites. It's cute and quaint for both indoor and outdoor seating options. Portions were modest but filling (and definitely uniquely crafted).

A table on the screened in porch watching the sunset behind green cliffs mountains, and one of the best steaks we’ve ever had: Wagyu NY strip with perfect savory seasoning over a tangy carrot fondant (thick sauce). Also, generously portioned lamb shank as tender as short ribs, over a saffron polenta. The culinary skill and artistry of these dishes made the evening special! The only drawback was the unavailability of any cocktails (only beer and wine) because they lacked a bar tender. Get the first seating at 5:30pm, because even with a reservation, when we finished, there were perhaps 20 guests waiting for their tables—which shows you how worth the wait is!

Unbelievable!! One of the best meals my wife and I have had ANYWHERE in the world.. PERIOD! We shared the Hamachi, the Crispy Leek Noodle Salad, Wild Mushrooms and the Coriander Crusted Ahi. Every bite was better than the next.. We're going back again tomorrow night. The ambiance and service is equal to their incredible menu.. DON'T MISS THIS PLACE

the gnocchi was undercooked, and the sauce was bland and also appeared to be overcooked almost burnt. swordfish was great, cauliflower was undercooked and bland. the ahi fish was not as fresh as expected. the server was spectacular, and appreciated. knowing it's a tourist destination, repeat customers may not be their focus... building looked great, outside arrangement was appealing. I've been told it has been better. sorry for the review, but wanted to be honest.

This was my favorite meal on our Kauai trip. The restaurant is very cute and cozy with French patio chairs and warm wood interior. We ordered the tropical sangria, sesame seared hamachi, and the 10oz Wagyu NY Strip to share. Everything was delicious! The hamachi dish reminded me of the crudo I have had at Nobu and Catch 🤤 (but might be better??) The wagyu was very flavorful and I really enjoyed the sauce that reflects the Asian flavoring in many Hawaiian dishes. The roasted vegetable and purée sides were amazing as well. Would definitely make it a point to visit here again next time we are in Kauai.
