Frommer's Review
This is one of Kauai's newer sensations, located right on the highway, next to Taco Bell, where fans line up for the happy-hour pupu and affordable, tasty fare. Coconuts is upbeat and busy, with a cheerfully tropical dining room of bamboo ceilings and coconut everything: bar floor, fixtures, furniture, and lights. There are lots of wines by the glass, good beers on tap, and a wide-ranging menu, including the best-selling teriyaki-dipped fresh salmon, a fresh catch for only $19 (oven-roasted, with kaffir lime broth and Okinawa sweet mashed potatoes), and an excellent seafood chowder. The burger with house-made potato chips and crab cakes are also popular. The appetizer menu -- nine items, from coconut dusted shrimp to lobster ravioli -- is a hit from the time the doors open at 4pm.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
