    Lovely dining experience. Sushi was so fresh and delicious. Cocktails and wine selection great. While we were not seated on the outside deck, they seated us by an open door and it was still lovely. We made reservations to return before we go home.

    The Ono and cut rolls were fresh and delicious my only complaint is that it was very cold inside. Needed to keep our jackets and sweaters on. Service was excellent!

    This was our second dinner at Stevenson's Library and certainly not our last. Excellent service from beginning to end and delicious, healthy food. We sat near the energetic bar but had no problem with noise level. Ordered the miso soup, edamame, shrimp tempura, CA roll, and crunchy roll and it was just the right amount of food.

    The sushi rolls were outstanding. Super fresh fish. Bar service was slow, we got our appetizer before our drinks, even though we ordered the drinks first. Ambiance was ok. We were the first table near the bar area, so felt like we were sitting in a bar rather than a restaurant. Our server was nice, but busy. We enjoyed all the food we ordered.

    Every time we go back to Kauai, we eat at Stevenson's Library in the Grand Hyatt. The sushi is absolutely outstanding. The only sushi we have ever had that was better was in Japan. The most outstanding fish we have ever eaten, Otoro, very fatty blue fin tuna melted in your mouth. We will be in Poipu for 2 weeks and we will eat at Stevenson's 2 times. Not a place to miss!
