Makana Terrace - Princeville

We visited for a mid-week brunch and the view was absolutely stunning, making the experience worthwhile overall. However, I found the buffet to be overpriced at $41 per person and only marginally better than a standard hotel breakfast buffet. Furthermore, there were quite a few aggressive birds that detracted from the enjoyment of the meal. On a positive note, the waitstaff and greeters were very friendly, and the service was exceptional.

The view of the bay is absolutely stunning, making it a great spot for either a romantic dinner or a family outing. The food was exceptional! We enjoyed the filet and seared snapper, along with a sashimi appetizer and a brownie sundae for dessert, and everything was delicious. The highlight of the evening was our server, Johnny! He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations. There are also vegan options available. I would definitely return here—it's a resort-quality dining experience without the resort prices.

The setting for watching the sunset over the lush mountains of Kaua‘i is absolutely stunning. The food was exceptional; we enjoyed three courses and were thoroughly pleased with every dish. A hidden gem on the dessert menu is the cheesecake paired with coconut lime sorbet—it's out of this world! The staff here are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Make sure to inquire about the catch of the day. While it's a good idea to reserve a table, do note that the front-row seats for watching the sunset are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Aside from the beyond-amazing view and the elegance of the Princeton Resort, the cuisine offered on the Makana Terrace is top notch featuring some of the best seafood and steak to be found cooked perfectly and very well presented. The ambience, especially at sunset on a good weather day is glorious. This is a great spot for romance.

View was amazing obviously, the staff was nice and did a good job. The food is definitely not worth the price tag. I’ve hade cheaper steak that was much tastier. All in all good vibes even if it’s raining.
