Food was good. That has changed and now there are more hot dishes geared to mainland visitors. We've been to many Michelin star restaurants all over the world but this was one of our best dinners ever. So glad we took the time to explore and will definitely include a full day at Gaylord's on our next trip. We each ordered the Ahi Tuna Benedict which was quite tasty, but our poached eggs were too well done and were more like soft boiled eggs. Gaylord's Restaurant offers various types of desserts, such as cream pie, chocolate truffles and cheesecakes. (df/nf), Pickled jalapeno, cream cheese wrapped in won ton. The on-site flower shop and sweets store arent to be missed. Cannot say I was impressed. (gf), Crisp romaine lettuce, parmesan cheese, crispy parmesan, seasoned focaccia croutons tossed in a creamy Caesar dressing. My girlfriends entree was good. My partner enjoyed the food but I am more reserved in my enjoyment. We went to Luau on Thursday. Silver tequila, muddled cilantro, jalapeno, fresh lime juice and house made simple syrup. (nf/df), 8 oz. I am less is more kids of a person. After coming to Kauai in 1989. The food and service were phenomenal. I have to ask the hostess if she can find the helper gentlemen to check on our food. As we were eating our ice cream pie, a cute little gecko jumped on our table to enjoy some pie crust crumbs. I started with a Caliente Margarita- good flavor but way too skimpy on the alcohol- and i rarely drink so that was disappointing on toasted brioche bun (nf/gf with gf bun $3.00). You can dine on the lanai and listen to live music nightly from 6:30-9:00pm as well as enjoy many more events throughout the week. (gf), Add: Chicken $ 7 /Grilled or Miso Fish $10 / Avocado $ 3 / Kalua Pork $ 6 / furikake fries $7/anchovy $2, Flame grilled Bison on brioche bun, smoked gouda, roasted garlic mayo, arugula, vine ripened tomato, grilled pineapple, and red onion.
