Stevenson's Sushi Spirits - Poipu

We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our server, Lisa, was courteous and professional. She provided us with plenty of information and made excellent recommendations. The sushi was fantastic, with carefully selected ingredients that really showcased the fish. There was minimal use of heavy sauces or unnecessary garnishes, which can sometimes overshadow the sushi itself. They were very attentive to food allergies and took the time to explain their preparation methods to ensure minimal allergen exposure, which made us feel at ease. The waitstaff worked together effortlessly; our water glasses were regularly refilled, and dirty dishes were cleared away quickly. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our experience and would definitely return the next time we're in Kauai.

It's a lovely sushi restaurant, though on the pricier side. The kitchen closes at 9:30, so be sure to arrive earlier. The server wasn't very helpful in explaining the menu, but overall, the food was delicious.

This is a must if you’re on Kauai! Amazing sushi and Japanese food and beautiful setting. Everything I’ve had here is delicious! My favorites are the sushi pizza (I know, it sounds weird), the lobster dynamite (try it with a bowl of sushi rice), and the black rock roll. The past couple times I’ve gone my server has been Johnny. He’s AWESOME! Super friendly and helpful, so if you’re able to request him, I’d definitely do that. We are so glad Stevenson’s has reopened! Make sure to make a reservation and treat yourself!

Location, interior, food service and staff everything is perfect. Beautiful view to the ocean, life music, excellent cocktails, the atmosphere was awesome. A few words about food, unfortunately it does not reach the level of the restaurant, I understand that salmon is most likely transported from the mainland, but tuna should be as fresh and tasty as it possible. I ordered O toro and Chu toro, the most tender parts of the tuna, but they weren't as tender as should be. I expected that tuna in this level of Hawaiian restaurant is much higher quality than on the mainland, but this is not so.

I enjoyed the library vibe of this restaurant/bar. We had the local fish, Ono and Maguro nigiri. Both were tasty. The maki win of the night was the Black Rock Maki with Ahi Tuna and Shrimp Tempura.
