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.

    The staff from valet to host to wait staff and everyone in between were all wonderful. Our waitress, Courtney was so welcoming and friendly, even insisted on taking family photos after our meal. We never felt rushed and even though it was a little warm and sunny out, the staff never did complain and told us to make sure we took the time to look around (had spotted whales and pointed out where they had been). A wonderful Christmas dinner, the food was outstanding!

    We had a wonderful breakfast prior to our flight  home from Kauai. I left my jacket there and didn’t realize it until I was at the airport. I actually called the restaurant and they had someone to drive it over to me. It was above and beyond what I could’ve expected and I am so grateful. They are wonderful!!!

    I took my small family of 3 here for Christmas Eve dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced all things considered. Everything tastes fresh and professionally prepared. Service was a little delayed due to the holiday, but we were overall very pleased with our dinner. Amazing food, beautiful view, and a really welcoming ambiance. We will happily return should the occasion ever arise. The Hula Pie is literally to die for and makes a great addition to any dish you order. All in all, a great experience for me and my family!

    The food was fantastic. We had the filet, short ribs and grilled catch of the day. My daughter has a nut allergy so the manager was kind enough to ask chef to make an exception to his plate regarding her entree. Thank you!! It was delicious! Everything was fantastic! Try the fillet and the homage sorbets, they are wonderful!! Great atmosphere and wonderful friendly staff. Thank you for such a nice experience! We will be back!! ❤️❤️❤️
