From intimate evenings to unforgettable events, Table at Poipu is more than a meal-it's a place to connect, indulge, and feel at home.

The Name, The Idea

Chef Gordon named this restaurant not for a piece of furniture, but for a feeling — the warmth of his own family's table extended to anyone who pulls up a chair. That invitation is still the whole point.

Perched Above Kukuiʻula

Perched above the open-air Shops at Kukuiʻula, the restaurant opens to the south shore's golden light — a setting that could only exist on Kauai.

The Island on Every Plate

The menu is rooted in what Kauai grows, catches, and brews — Kona coffee-braised beef, fresh catch with lilikoi beurre blanc, macadamia threading through every sauce. The island, plated.

A Living Legacy

Chef Gordon's founding vision — personal, refined, rooted in aloha — lives in every nightly special and seasonally evolving cocktail, alongside the dishes guests return for year after year.

Every Seat, Every Occasion

Anniversary dinner or impromptu sunset Mai Tai — this is a gathering place in the truest sense. The aloha you feel here tends to stay with you.
