Our stunning ocean-front location with spectacular sunsets makes the Beach House an iconic destination on Kauai's south shore that has won the Hale 'Aina Award for "Best Restaurant - Kauai" for 20+ years. Our philosophy at the Beach House is simple - take aloha, blend it with fresh and high-quality ingredients, and add an ocean view to deliver a handcrafted, Hawaiian experience. Executive Chef Marshall Blanchard makes the most of local ingredients by sourcing our fish directly from island fisherman and our beef from neighboring ranches. We incorporate fresh and local produce throughout our menu, highlighting Hawai'i farms and the resources that surround Kauai. Reservations are highly recommended for a dining room table in our open-air restaurant. We also offer lounge seating on our lawn, where the full menu and full service are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please check in with the bar host for lawn seating.

Atmosphere was outstanding. We were seated on the terrace and it was cool with a nice breeze. Food was great, nice wine and very subtle lighting which added to the ambiance. Lisa was our server… professional, kind and very attentive. She left a note on our check that was much appreciated… she had no way of knowing my wife had been recently diagnosed with leukemia, and in one word note made us both smile. It was comforting and sweet.

We had an amazing dining experience. The views were incredible, the food was delicious, and service was very good. We had Ahi Tuna Steak and Crusted Mahi Mahi. Both were excellent. We also ordered Tiramisu upon Ali’s recommendation. It was delicious. The sunset over the ocean capped off a perfect evening.
