    Loco Moco so Ono! Tasty omelet and a solid basic breakfast
    Mario Q.

    Ocean House by Roy Yamaguchi at OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Resort & Spa is phenomenal. The food and service were exceptional, and the drinks were so well paired with our meal. The ribs and loco moco were absolutely insane, easily two of the standouts. What makes this place even more special is the hospitality. Every time I'm here, I feel like family. Incredible food, thoughtful service, great drinks, and a beautiful Kauaʻi setting. Definitely recommend Ocean House, this is one of those places I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm on Kaua'i.

    We're no strangers to this restaurant. We sat at the bar, and we had Anthony who told us he was there for 5 months. Flat out, not the best experience with him.. he messed up twice. He Forgot to place our entree order when we gave it to him, so we had to wait another 15-20 minutes. On top of that he placed our dessert order wrong. We wanted to order the upside down cake. He mentioned it takes about 20-25 minutes for it to be made. We told him it was fine. Come to find out, he put in a Halo Halo order, and the Pineapple upside down cake didn't even come out. We waited, he didn't place it. We were done. I even called him out on it, he messed up twice. And i told him The experience was going to get a review. Not the best. But we'll return for Koa or Leland service for sure!

    My friends and I are big fans of Chef Roy Yamaguchi's restaurants so we planned a quick girls' trip to Kauai so we could support his latest restaurant opening. Ocean House by Roy Yamaguchi opened in June at the Outrigger Kauai Beach Resort and Spa and is open for breakfast and dinner. Led by Executive Chef Samual Taganeca, the restaurant serves signature dishes featuring Kauai's finest ingredients. During our one night stay at the hotel, we celebrated a friend's birthday at dinner and then enjoyed breakfast at the restaurant the next morning. The dinner menu offered appetizers, a selection of sushi rolls, noodles, and a nice variety of entrees. I ordered the rigatoni that was served with a tomato cream sauce, zucchini, mushrooms, and Italian sausage. It was very tasty and generous in portion size. My friends also really liked their entrees and we thought service was great. My favorite was definitely the Halo Halo for dessert. It is a must order! Lots to choose from the breakfast menu as well and it was nice to see items were not overpriced. If you are a Hawaii resident, be sure to ask for the Kamaaina discount. Reservations can easily be made on Open Table.

    Food: The food was excellent. We each had a starter, entree, and dessert. It was good and the wait for a table or our food dos not take too long at all. Service: The waiting staff including the supervisor/manager were very kind and accommodating. Waters were refilled without the need to ask which is always a god sign of attentive staff. Ambiance: It was a bit on the pricey side so if you are looking for a fancy expensive dinner, this would be a good candidate. Overall, the restaurant was well-presented and the food was delicious as well. I dont think I had anything that I disliked. There was a mix-up on the bill due to a mis-communication between staff but it was taken care of thanks to Mr. Kelton. Mahalo.

    One of our favorite dining spots on island. Kala, Destiny, Nelson, and the entire team were all so great. Service was spot on and Kala did great with informing us about all the menu offerings, including all of the locally sourced items. We had the Spring Rolls, Crab Pillows, Poke, Smash Burger, Ribeye, and Fish & Chips. All were fantastic, but our favorites were the Spring Rolls, Smash Burger, and Ribeye. Loved the live music playing in the bar area. A spot that serves a great location for both an every-night meal or special occasion.

    From the service to the food, everything was great! Star, Elijah, and Jonny took excellent care of our table and provided the best service. Star was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some really great recommendations on what to order. Seating was comfortable. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made our experience even better. We'll definitely be back!

    We had such an amazing experience at Ocean House! The food was absolutely delicious, but the atmosphere and beautiful setting made the whole experience even better. Our server Shan was incredible! She was so attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. The drinks were delicious! Everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere was amazing. Definitely a must when visiting Kauai!

    The food was just ok and service was slow. We had a reservation which didn't seem necessary since there were few people there. The twice baked ribs for app were very good but my Ono dish was not. My husband had a ribeye that was underdone and my vegetables were barely steamed. Prices are too high for what they offer. Very small menu.

    And did I mention dessert!
    Stacey M.

    My last night in Kauai, staying at the Outrigger for over a week celebrating my best friends 50th, we were excited to be part of the soft opening a few days before the official opening, and enjoy a delicious dinner. Truly was an experience and every item shared with friends was wonderful! We had also visited Beach House and Eating House during our stay...so feel like we did experience the Trifecta of Roy Yamaguchi's restaurants...all were fabulous but I do think the Ocean House was my favorite..from staff, drinks, food and the people I experienced it with...amazing! Wishing you much success...and I hope to be back one day with my Ohana and share the table and memories with them. Mahalo!

    Pupu sampler

    Amazing food and amazing service! Our table of 8 had a variety of pupus, dinner and dessert and every single thing was great!. I'll be back!

    Its a nice indoor/outdoor restaurant. We had a couple of items from here…read more *Local Catch of the Day with pineapple salsa *Ribeye steak *Truffle fries *Ribs *Pina Colada slushie *Lava flow slushie *Mai tai *Passionfruit martini *Ice cream pie *Lumpia cheesecake *Kalua pig sliders *Chicken wings The local catch of the day was an ahi tuna steak which was overcooked, however the pineapple salsa was very good i really enjoyed it. The ribeye steak was asked to be done medium however in some parts it seemed like it was medium rare/rare. The steak sauce surrounding the steak made up for it but it was nothing too special. The truffle fries were the best part of the whole dinner experience. The fries were cooked perfectly golden brown and are shoestring fries. The truffle and parmesan cheese really made these fries shine as they are crunchy and soft on the inside with that hint of cheese. The li ribs were overcooked and hard. The sauce is good but i would definitely skip out on this. The kalua pig sliders were also another favorite dish of mind they tasted soft and juicy. The chicken wings were cooked to perfection and i really enjoyed this as well. We also had several drinks from this establishment as well but the ones that truly spoke out to us were the pina colada and lava flow slushies. They tasted very sweet but also had a good amount of kick towards it in the end. The passionfruit martini was also refreshing but did have a slight bitter taste to it. The mai tais were not the best i ever had but they are okay. Now we get onto the deserts. The lumpia cheesecake was very enjoyable. It was very crunchy on the outside and very soft and gooey in the inside. The kauai ice cream pie was overwhelmingly sweet. I would consider it if you love very sweet desserts but it was not for me. Some nice things to know is happy hour from 5-6pm /9-10pm and they usually have $5 off snacks & $4 off cocktails/drinks. They also have very soothing live music events during those times which could really set the mood. I loved the atmosphere this restaurant puts out. Is it the best restaurant on the island ? Probably not. But it's reasonable priced and the amount of food you get is a good price. Consider this place for good drinks and bar food while listening to nice music in the background.

    We had a relax day and hung out at the resort and I enjoyed the acid bowl my drink, little strong…read morebut good. The bartender was really nice.
