Serves meat, vegan options available. Reported a section of dishes can be veganized - ask your server. Might be a pumpkin bisque, a warm shiitake salad, and for dessert a mango delight and a liliquoi sorbet. Note that kitchen probably has only one fryer tempura. Open Mon-Sun 5:00pm-9:00pm.

nice vegan options - Edit
Several items on menu were vegan or could be made so. E.g. Cauliflower coconut curry, green bean tempura, etc. They bought out an appetizer on the house: homemade taro chips with a cauliflower hummus and tomato bisque.
There was one dessert for us, but very unique. A pineapple "soup" with sorbet.
While not a lot of options, what they have is very good. And while the meat entrees seemed pretty expensive, these veg options were very reasonable.

Good Vegan Food Kauai - Edit
JO2 offers a whole section on their menu that can be veganized. It is upscale, California/Fusion style food that is both delicious and beautiful! The chef does an incredible job utilizing local flavors and textures to create an exciting menu. We had the pumpkin bisque, the warm shiitake salad (to die for), the tempura veg and mushroom risotto. The bisque was silky smooth and had a deep flavor; the warm shiitake salad was plentiful and one of the best things I've ever tasted. The tempura was light and the veg he used were fun and interesting. The risotto was veganized, so might've lacked a depth of flavor but my dining partner thought it was delicious and couldn't wait to have the leftovers. There is a small bar area in the front (full bar) and an outside seating area. The wine list is excellent as well. Jean-Marie has done an outstanding job with this restaurant and we will be going back a couple more times before this trip is over. A MUST DO, ON KAUAI!
Pros: Amazing Food, Great Wine List, Fabulous staff
Cons: None
