Stevenson's Sushi & Spirits

Tucked in Poipu, Stevenson's Library brings upscale sushi with a literary twist – think craft cocktails named after classic novels and some of the freshest fish on Kauai.

The signature Stevenson's Maki features seared blackened ahi and lump crab with avocado, cucumber, and their signature sauce, topped with tobiko. The Lobster Dynamite is another standout locals favor, and if you're feeling adventurous, the Otoro nigiri melts in your mouth. For dessert, the Tiramisushi delivers a creative take on the traditional dessert.

The bar program offers creative signature cocktails like the Grape Gatsby and Gin Eyre, plus an impressive selection of Japanese whisky and shochu. You'll find Namihana Shochu made from Okinawan purple potato if you want something distinctive.

The restaurant maintains a sophisticated-but-not-stuffy atmosphere where you can arrive in beach casual and feel right at home. It works for date night, celebrating something special, or treating yourself to quality sushi.

Check out their Chef's Special and Omakase options – they feature whatever's freshest that day, giving you the best the ocean has to offer.

This spot delivers on both food and experience. You'll find seriously fresh sushi worth the trip to Poipu.
