I love the Beach House. It is my family's favorite restaurant. And one of my best friends got…read moremarried here a few years ago. You get the most beautiful view at sunset, with great food and drinks. Yes, The Beach House is on the pricier side, but that is because you are getting such high quality food and location. Plus, the service is amazing here as well. They try to ensure that every table has some sort of view of the ocean. And they offer valet parking for $5. Our group of 5 started with the dumplings, and we all really loved the flavor and the sauce that the dumplings came with. My sister in law and I both ordered the lobster pasta. This. Is. Amazing. It is worth it. The lobster was perfectly cooked, the other seafood was a great pairing as well. The noodles themselves were perfectly al dente and the sauce was delectable. Our waiter brought more bread so we could soak up all the sauce. Yum! My dad loves their macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi and couldn't resist getting that. He loved it. I've also had their lobster bisque which is incredible, and all of their desserts are scrumptious! You truly cannot go wrong. We of course came for the sunset which was incredible. And we all had plenty of mai tai's! We will be continue to come back to The Beach House whenever we visit this beautiful island. (Also, seriously, their weddings are incredible. I helped plan my friend's wedding and they made it so easy for my friend to decide the decor and menu. She had the most stress-free wedding planning experience out of all of my friends so far. They were great!)

My brothers Ono Keokis style was sooo ONO! However, the Okinawan sweet potato mash that came with it was not complimentary and too sweet to pair with the delicious fish. Regular mashed potatoes or rice would've been better we think. What put the whole experience over the top, though, was our super attentive and friendly waitress Charlene. She was so sweet to our baby and made such a pleasant and comfortable experience for us all. The live music was a nice touch. Don't forget to order the Hula Pie for dessert. Seeeeriously yummy. We looked around and almost every table gets it, and now we know why.

We started with their Mai tai's which I think are the best Mai tai's on the island (I know, fighting words). We then started with their Maui onion soup which everyone in my family loves. I got the macadamia nut crusted dish of the day which was swordfish. It was great! Absolutely loved the sauce for the dish. And of course we finished with a hula pie. You have to have one! They have parking, but the lot can get pretty full, just a heads up. Thanks for another great meal here!

Their dry-aged steak is worth it as a main shareable dish with a unique butter compote smothered on top - you truly don't need a side dish for it. The cocktails/mocktails are also very unique and delicious. Wait staff was attentive and helpful, even with a tree nut allergy at the table. I would recommend making reservations and having this as a must-eat location in Northern Kauai!

We also tried the fried mac and cheese, which was even better than expected. The place has a really cool vibe. I wasn't big on the drinks, but that's more on me since I'm not much of a whisky fan. If you are, the mai tai would probably be right up your alley. Overall, the food and service were on point at a reasonable price. It definitely felt like we got great value for our dinner.

Next time, I'll get the poke, which is supposed to be good. Fish Tacos just seemed like a thing to get on Kauai. The 'well done' ahi was spicy & flavorful. A blackened taste, which I love. Had to scoop off a ton of toppings to find it, but once I did, it was yummy. The other fish, was pretty bland.
