What was once a part of a historic plantation manor is now the enchanting Plantation Gardens and even the location can hardly be bettered, at the Poipu Beach on the sunny south side of Kauai. The outdoor lanai eating area overlooks a pond and is a tranquil spot to enjoy a hand crafted lavender piña colada or a cucumber mojito.

Nature has indeed bequeathed beauty and abundance to the Hawaiian Islands and the kitchen team is all about celebrating the best of it. It could all start Plantation style with a sampler of spicy tuna rolls, marinated pork pot stickers, Dungeness crab rangoons and roasted duck spring rolls. Fish arrives fresh caught off the waters of Kauai and the lau lau almost oozes freshness with assorted seafood is wrapped in a ti leaf. Other entrées include sugarcane skewered pork tenderloin and braised baby back ribs.

Glowing tiki torches and orchid garden provide a perfect backdrop for a wedding or a special event at Plantation Gardens.
