The Hanalei Dolphin was opened by a group of surf- ers in the early 1970s, and at the time, it was the only restaurant in town (Tahiti Nui was only a bar back then). Located in the historic Trader Building at the entrance of Hanalei, it was named after the dolphin pods surrounding the island of Kauai.
The ownership of the restaurant changed over the years. In 1996, Doug Allen was the general manag- er, and it was when Beatrice first met her then-to-be husband. In 2000, they became partners and in 2007 the sole owners of the restaurant, adding the fish market in the ’90s and the popular sushi bar in 2008.
