We dined at the Lemongrass Grill location in Kapaa Kauai, but I believe there are other locations.

We were very excited to go here as it is often highly recommended.

Guava Mai Tais were a great way to start and very very refreshing.

For appetizers wife had the 911 roll, quite tasty. I had the Smoked Ahi. Good solid appetizer but Ahi was overdone.

When viewing the entrees it is easy to see that the chef is in love with mashed potatoes as many dishes contain them, not very creative.

I had the grilled fresh fish (tonight it was mahi mahi) over mashed potatoes (who would have guessed?!? ), served with Thai eggplant. It was good, but fish was very overcooked.

Wife had grilled miso salmon. Good, but again fish was WAY WAY overcooked.

After discussions with others on the island (many had been to Lemongrass) it seems as if overcooked fish is normal for them.

Lemongrass just did not deliver the quality I felt it should have, I can not recommend it.
