Price: Very Expensive
• Hawaii Regional Cuisine • Poipu
Booked 182 times today
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.

    From start to finish, we had an amazing experience. Atmosphere was perfect for our final night in Kauai. Sunset view was spectacular. Service by Rayna (I believe that’s her name) was top notch. She was friendly, quick, and really cared about our experience. She made us all feel like family! Food was delicious from the focaccia bread to the lobster deviled eggs to the fish & lobster pasta to the macadamia crusted catch of the day! Of course we can’t forget dessert…. Coconut creme brûlée and the tiramisu were both amazing. Hubby also said his old fashion was the best he’s ever had. And our girls loved their pasta and Lappert’s ice cream! Can’t wait to dine here again when we return in the future. Thank you, The Beach House, for an unforgettable Hawaiian evening.

    Charlie was our server and did an excellent job. Three in our party have nut allergies and he and the staff were very attentive to that. The food was delicious…Ono as they say here. Several of us had the Blue Marlin. Very good!

    From the moment the valet took our vehicle, we were taken care of immediately and attentively, not only with their service but with their smiles as well. at every point of our evening here we were greeting with welcoming smiles. our seating hostess was quick and attentive and our waitress was top notch! She was so helpful with the menu and took care of our every need. From the drinks and appetizers to the dessert, every dish was not only delicious, but beautiful! This was a simple date night for my wife and I while on the island, but the service and quality of the staff, food, and atmosphere at Red Salt elevated this to a truly memorable experience!
