What people are saying about Lihue

The food was good and the show was great. This is under a covered pavillon, which is perfect since Kauai gets a fair amount of rain during the winter months. Open bar is an added plus. Book early if possible. We booked the day before and was seated about as far away as we could get and still be in the same building.....that was the only disappointment. Our fault for not planning aheald!

Abie was amazing! Very knowledgeable of Hanapepe and all the places we went to. Come with an appetite and be ready for some Delicious and good portioned food. Hosts were very welcoming too. I liked that the tour ended by the time the art/market Fridays starts.

It was a lot of fun. We had an amazing table so our view of the stage was about as good as it could get. My daughter loved the show and the fire dancing too, just everything was ran really really well. Thank you for doing such a great job!!
