Recommendations for Kauai restaurants?

There are lots of large, gas bar-b-ques at the Westin:

Yes, indeed, they are wonderful. After catching 300-350lbs of Ahi Tuna and
Ono on Wednesday, we have used them often. Did take the night off tonight for agreat meal at the Beach House, which did not disappoint. The fact that the sun did not show up did not mar the evening.

Mariachi's Mexican Restaurant!
If you're tired of the same old resort type food, and crave some GREAT Mexican food, try Mariachi's, across the street from the Marriott Beach Club!
Our party of 5, all from So. CA., which happens to have great Mexican food, ALL said it was the best we'd ever had!:whoopie: After being in Kauai for a week, and then Maui for another week, we all agree, that this was one of the BEST meals we had one the whole trip! (If not THE best!).
We also loved Scotty's BBQ on Kauai. We ate at The Dolphin, in Hanalei, Duke's, Bull Shed, and The Beach House, which was beautiful, the food, just good.
Just back from here, so need to get going on un-packing
I want to go back!!!
Aloha

Just came back from 2 weeks on Kauai... we were amazed at how empty most of the restaurants were. We walked into Gaylords at 6:00, no reservation, party of 8... had to wait 2 minutes for a table. Unheard of on previous trips...

Never made it to Hulikau Lanai, definately have to next trip. Skip Hula Girls... menu is less than half of what it used to be and they don't have the live music anymore. Hanalei Dolphin was excellent as always as was the Bull Shed and Gaylords. Tried the Beach House for the first time, killer view and food was excellent as well, added to our favorites list
