Boasting incredible views of Hanalei Bay below and Bali Hai peak above, the opulent dining room of Kaua‘i Grill at St. Regis in Princeville is one of the premiere steakhouses on island. The brainchild of Michelin-award winner Jean-Georges Vongerichten, this unique dining destination is constructed in the shape of a nautilus, with the windows and railings spiraling towards a ruby-red glass chandelier in the shape of a hibiscus located in the center of the circular room. The menu is even more dazzling, with a hand-selected mix of Jean-Georges’ favorite appetizers, salads, and main courses from his restaurants and ports of call around the world, each made from the highest quality meats and freshest, local ingredients.
