Very popular spot on the beach so crowded and noisy. Had reservation and were seated quickly on arrival. Waiter was prompt, courteous and friendly. Menu selection good, prepared well in reasonable time. Mac crusted Mahi Mahi was outstanding. A bit pricey but not unusual for Kaanapali beachfront.

We had a fantastic dinner at The Sea House! Food, ambiance and service - everything was perfect. The Macadamia crusted mahi-mahi is the best on the island and Caroline, our server, made the experience memorable for all. We can’t wait to return!
