    Always enjoy the Beach House! Great variety on the menu, lovely views from every table and wonderful food. We had the lobster deviled eggs…great! We shared the tuna ahi sashimi and the mahi/lobster pasta…delicious! Drinks and food is pricey but so good! It was packed but service was good. We’re going back next week!

    Really great restaurant! I'm not sure why more people aren't trying Table, but my husband and I were on Kauai recently and had a wonderful experience. We both had unique and delicious cocktails, then wine, alongside the mushroom appetizer, seared ahi tuna and the bone in pork chop. All of these were yummy! It was easy to get a reservation, I think only because its location isn't as "prime" as Merriman's across the way ... food was great though, and it was lovely, quiet and relaxing.
