Stopped for a bite to eat after a day at the beach and on our way to the st regis to watch the sunset. Good happy hour. Loved the open air feel. Enjoyed the seafood chowder, fish and chips and fish tacos. Would definitely return. Thanks for a good bite to eat!

Good food and drink. Nachos are quite large loaded with cheese and several options for toppings. We tried the pork and if you decide the same ask for a side of bbq sauce. Dessert is a must. Each that we saw looked amazing. We decided upon the mud pie ... fantastic ... ask for 2 spoons.

If you like the Princeville side of the island, then this is the place to enjoy a nice drink with lunch. Their menu is fantabulous, everything on the menu, you want to enjoy! Service one of a kind where your not seated and forgotten. They cater to you making sure that your drink is refreshed, and your meal is to... More

Menu is very interesting, fast food vibe put into a restaurant style. Drinks were good, pineapple juice taste like its juiced there. Food had enormous servings, but was moderate tasing. Waitress was really hyper, but friendly.

On my first stay in Kauai, my family (of 10) ate here for both Sunday brunch and dinner. They all thought the place was fantastic! The huevos rancheros for brunch were delicious. The servers were all very nice and attentive. The only bad thing I can think of is that the place was CROWDED so we had to all squeeze... More

I dined at Kalypso in April of 2013 while travelling to Kauai on holiday and sat at the bar. I ordered the grilled fish and shrimp per the recommendation of the bartender. The fish and shrimp were PERFECTLY cooked, but it was difficult to enjoy them as they were floating in the sea of "Beurre blanc" sauce. The vegetables were... More

We came here for dinner with our three kids. Ordered the fish tacos, which were not that great. I have definitely had better fish tacos at home in California. The fish was very heavy , tuna, I think. My daughter had the fish and chips, and same thing - the fish was too dense. I guess we are used to... More

This was my 8th time to Kauai, thought I would try Kalypso's as it was on the Kauai travel channel and sounded good. Was extremely disappointed with both the food, atmosphere and especially the service. There were a lot of servers in the restaurant but half of them were socializing with each other. We were lucky enough to have a... More

This is a neat little bar and grill type place. There is no ocean view or anything special about its locale but we enjoyed great food, a great Mai Tai, and reasonable prices.
