   Seared ahi was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Best meal I’ve had in years. My husband had the short ribs and they were tender and flavorful. Portions were spot on. View was incredible and we were fortunate to see the incredible south shore sunset from our table. Staff and management were attentive, thoughtful, and diligent. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

   Eating at 1849 Eating House in Poipu is always a treat. I highly recommend the potstickers, ribeye tataki, Misoyaki Butterfish and the famous lava cake.

   Wow! Every item ordered was a delight for the taste buds. We had a variety of apps from ribs to the flanks steak sliced thin with flavored poi and pickled tomatoes (my favorite) . The mains: Butterfish, paella, ribeye, blackened ahi were all fabulous! Wait staff were friendly and attentive. Couldn't ask for a better dining experience.🌺🤩

   We love the food at this restaurant and look forward to our return. However, huge shout out to our server, Mikee, who is over the top when it comes to service and knowledge. We’ll be back and make sure to request Mikee!

   We love Eating House. We had our usual pot stickers appetizer, butter fish entree and chocolate soufflé for desert. They were all delicious as usual. Make sure to make reservations.

    Eating House 1849 continues the local plantation-style eatery feel, with open air seating, view of the back of the house, and a lively atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and attentive, especially the server I had for the evening, Alfred. Change of pace from most restaurants, as they start you out with edamame for the table. Ordered the EH 1849 Spicy Ramen, which gives you a chance to sharpen your chopstick skills, should you desire. The pork belly and tiger shrimp were cooked well and had great flavor. The noodles didn't stand out for any real reason, but the broth was outstanding, with exceptional depth of flavor and superior seasoning. The chili oil adds a nice zip, but is by no means too spicy. If you want dessert, which I would highly recommend, work with your server to ensure that it gets ordered early. Both desserts that were available last night took ~17-20 minutes to prepare, so they will time it appropriately if you communicate with them. I chose the Roy Yamaguchi's Melting Hot Chocolate Souffle, and was not disappointed. It was paired with the locally sourced Lappert's vanilla bean ice cream, and a raspberry coulis. If you are a souffle purist, do not be surprised that this is a deviation from traditional souffles, being more of a molten lava cake. It is delicious, regardless, and a great way to end the meal.
