The best restaurant in Kauai-of course it's named 'The Beach House'! The food is absolutely amazing but the real secret to this restaurant is the 'Aloha Spirit' within! From the manager, Sarah, to everyone working there they exude that welcoming Hawaiian spirit! A MUST-HAVE appetizer is the Szechuan Stir-Fry Green Beans with Macadamia Nuts. These are not your mother's green beans (sorry Mom)...these are local beans with chili and ginger cooked perfectly in an oyster sauce! If you have more than two people order 2 of these for appetizers-they will thank you! Everything is delicious here...and save room for their amazing desserts -the Maui Oma Coffee Tiramisu is my fav! read more

First of all there was little to know parking and the valle was rude!!!! Rudely enough as me and my (Ex) husband got seated the tables were extremely wet and stunk like mildew. Unfortunately I tripped on the way in because of how rocky the shoreline was!!!!!!!! Ouch! More over the food was not at all worth the price very salty and tasted like the OCEAN!!!!!! DO NOT GO TO THE BEACH HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! OR PREPARE TO BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!! I WARNED YOU! read more

The Beach House - YUCK!!! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

Overall this place is good, but nothing to write home about (in terms of the food / drink). Our server, Chad, was lovely and made the experience delightful! The macadamia crusted fish was pretty good overall, just overpriced (by a lot) so I think in terms of value, this place perhaps isn't the best. That said, it's gorgeous right on the water so that's a nice touch. It's definitely a tourist spot so if you're visiting and want a nice sunset, it's a good spot for that. The cocktails were very mid at best. Overall I definitely wouldn't advise against this place (in the sense that it IS pretty and the service is nice and they're super accommodating) but the food and drinks are just pretty average for the very high price you pay. read more

The Beach House - Macadamia Nut Butter Fresh Hawaiian Catch - Asian Fusion Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

Friendly staff greet you at entry, the guest waiting area is a cute but very small and there is a lot of foot traffic. I got the Ahi steak, it was delicious. The waitress was nice, but she did ask what the special occasion was and my wife told her my birthday. Dessert comes, no special mini dessert or anything and then the bill comes.... Two things that went through my head. 1st, why even ask the occasion if you're not going to make it any more special? 2nd. For the price you are paying, a small birthday dessert should be mandatory. Maybe she forgot, who knows. It's nice cause you can walk out mid dinner to take photos during sunset, overall decent but not great. Your spending top dollar primarily for the view and yes the food was good, but not $60 per dish good. Maybe just grab some food and sit front row by the beach on your own. read more

The Beach House - Asian Fusion Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

The location of this restaurant is fabulous. The staff make for a very high end experience with their knowledge and manners. The entire interior environment is very bland and underwhelming though. The tuna steak is delicious but we had to make sure to ask for wasabi since it doesn't come with it, which I never understand. The lobster bisque I did not enjoy. I couldn't identify what the ingredient in it that I didn't like but it kind of tasted like a bowl of caramel and the whole thing was too rich and dessert-like somehow. They say the mai Thai is moneky pod but monkey pods are a touch better somehow. A good spot, but overpriced overall due to what underwhelmed me. read more

We had a super memorable and delicious Thanksgiving dinner at the Beach House. We had reserved "bar" seating and it was awesome, as you had a nice elevated view of the ocean. The service was top notch and the food was also very well prepared and delicious. We did have the Tuna Sashimi appetizer and I cannot recommend it enough; amazingly fresh and delicious. I also highly recommend the Mai Tai... very well prepared and super yummy. read more

OMG this place is magical! We stumbled in randomly and grabbed seats at the bar where the bartender was so sweet and let me sample a few things to decide. Ended up a cocktail in hand and then sat outside on their lawn to watch the most beautiful sunset right on the ocean This is easily one of the most romantic sunset spots on the island. You can dine here too but make reservations if that's the plan. Either way, this is a must visit for the vibes alone. read more

Cool ambiance, nice location but food is mediocre at best. Had the scallops tonight and one of them was rank with ammonia taste. Told our waiter and he took 20% off our check at the end and we were thankful as $70 for 3 scallops would have been steep. Go to Maui and eat at Monkey Pod or Ullu Kitchen. This place is a touristy conclave (yes so is Monkey Pod) but prices here are higher as it's supposed to be high end, and it was anything but. read more

By the numbers Go for the setting. Small peninsula on the south coast of Kauai grass sward out from and at the right tides surfers a plenty to see. Lots of photo ops. Outdoor seating is good but can get rained on. Very cool setting... Online registration was seamless. No charge to hold your spot. Parking is a challenge. No lights on the road on the beach and you may have to park and walk a bit. Valet available. Checkin and seating good. Short wait to water. 17-20 minute wait to see a waiter. Now it was busy at 8pm on a Wednesday, but not cool. Lots of guests but lots of staff too. I found the menu a tad simple. Focaccia was a little dry and over seasoned. Oilve oil was bland and nothing special. Szechuan green beans were great. Awesome flavor combo. Seated ahi quality was awesome but just seared. Plate seemed a bit bland in appearance, see photo. Now I can handle some spice. I usually get 4-5 stars but the jalapeno mashed potatoes (bright green!) was so spicy to be almost inedible. Got used to it and finished them, but wow. Mushroom pot pie was nothing special. Mushroom stew with puff pastry over the top. Taro? Chunks in there and they were a tad woody. One mocktail. 1 appy and 2 mains. About $150. read more

The Beach House has an incredible location, especially for watching the sunset and taking photos. The setting and views are definitely the highlight. I've been here a few times over the past 20 years, and while the food is good, I wouldn't say it's exceptional, especially considering the prices. You're probably paying $8-12 more per dish compared with a restaurant like Tidepools for similar food, and in my experience, the quality isn't quite as good. For example, we ordered the special, which was a fish dish, and unfortunately it was prepared quite dry. At these prices, I would expect the food to be a little more impressive. Parking is another issue. Valet parking is almost a necessity because finding a parking spot can be extremely difficult. There is a standard $5 valet fee, which is reasonable, but the valet makes a point of letting you know that anything you give above the $5 goes directly to them. I didn't particularly care for that approach, it felt a little unnecessary. Personally, I prefer Tidepools. I think the ambience is better, and I also prefer the food. The Beach House is clearly charging a premium because of its incredible location, which I understand, but overall I think Tidepools offers a better dining experience for the money. If you're looking for a beautiful setting to enjoy the sunset and take some great photos, The Beach House is hard to beat. Just keep in mind that you're paying a premium for the location. read more

Vacation mode starts! Ambiance is very nice I think it is heavily dependent on the beautiful view(s) unfortunately we didn't have that experience. It was a weekend night I will give them that, I have had these reservations for a month, got there a bit early and still had to wait to be seated. We did not have the best table and the server was friendly albeit sometimes aloof and busy. Crab cakes with watercress and lemon aioli was very good and nicely plated. Caesar salad was okay; However their rosemary garlic croutons were amazing! Fish and lobster pasta was very good with a half lobster (as it should for a $60 + pasta dish) fettuccine was definitely homemade you could tell. A okay spot overall would say. read more

Amazing setting and service. We had lobster and fish paata. The noodles themselves were so tender amd the seafood.so tasty.

First rate service for our party of 7! We sat for an hour beyond our reservation. The manager, Sarah, made it up for us! She and Anna were so apologetic. They made sure to make up for the restaurant's mistake. They brought out an array of 5 appetizers, all amazing & delicious. The lobster seafood pasta was some of the best we've ever had. Macadamia nut catch was ono that day- a perfection of a dish! My daughter said the filet mignon was better than when she visited a famous Chicago steakhouse this summer- best ever! Mai tai's were amazing. This beautiful setting was even more amazing! Last but not least, not only did they waive our corkage fee, but out came two desserts as well. I can't say enough about the entire staff here. Mahalo, we will be fans for life. This was WAY better than Hualani's! read more

First, the service is great. Friendly servers and you are not rushed to order even around sunset times. The view is decent. You see the ocean and depending on the time of year, maybe the sunset. During the Summer, the sun sets over the land on the South side, so you can't really see it actually set over water. The food was middle of the road. Nothing was really great. It's very expensive and the food just doesn't make up for the price. Portions are small and the flavor is mostly just alright. The steak was flavorful, but $79 for the size of it is hard to justify. Overall, it's a nice restaurant and could have potential for a nice sunset, but don't count on the food being amazing with the view. read more

Food: The food was incredible. The appetizers we ordered--green beans and crab cakes--were great, and our main entrees were delicious. The portions are smaller than what you'd find at a typical restaurant. 4.5/5 Ambiance: The view from our table was stunning, overlooking the ocean. 5/5 Service: Every staff member you encounter is friendly! 5/5 Drink: I read the reviews claiming they had the best Mai Tai, and they weren't wrong; it was amazing! I was on a mission to try as much local coffee as possible, and I've never been to a restaurant that serves you a single French press! 5/5 read more

We came to Beach House on a Monday night with reservations, which I'd definitely recommend. The restaurant is stunning with gorgeous views and such a relaxed, upscale vibe. We all ordered the Mai Tais and they were pretty lime-forward, refreshing, but one was definitely enough. We started with the potstickers and they were delicious. We split the catch of the day and the salad, which was honestly perfect for two people. The fish came with bok choy and rice, and the sauce that accompanied it made a huge difference in flavor. The focaccia bread at the start of the meal was also a big hit, warm, tasty, and perfect with the olive oil. It was my birthday, which made the night even better. They brought out a light chocolate cake that was such a nice touch. Great food, beautiful setting, and a wonderful spot for a special night out. read more

We came here with a group of friends for a birthday. The view from the restaurant is beautiful, especially around sunset. We came when there was live music, it was a nice touch. The food was amazing, very flavorful. We were blessed to have Kristy as our waitress, she is phenomenal, such a beautiful person inside and out! read more

The location is the best part of this place. The virgin mai tai was yummy. The potstickers were good. The surf n turf steak part was good, everything else on the plate was gross. The scallops were the worst Ive ever had. I literally had to spit them out after chewing them for awhile. Yuck! Its was terrible presentation for a $98 plate.. also The creme brulee was basic. The restaurant is outrageously overpriced! No alcohol, one app, one dessert, and 2 entrees and we spent over 300$... all these ads about how great this place is and then afterwards all we hear is negative. Weird! Service was sub par.. our server was moody. Ambiance was super crowded and you cant even hear the music over the other guests. Its a busy hot spot! But there are so so many spots with better views and way better food on the island for a fraction of the cost. Whatever you do or decide, if you go here, hard pass on scallops. read more

This was our best meal on the island. The location is prestige with great views of the sunset. All the windows were open so everyone had a great view no matter what table you're at. It is a big restaurant that gets crowded for a reason. I truly feel like there were 300 people in there! Yet still enough room and our food came out in a timely manner. Our server was SO great - I wish I remembered her name. She was so sweet and helpful with our baby and also another person who was pregnant. She really took care of us. The first of the day was swordfish which wasn't our personal favorite but the pasta seafood was good. I got the filet mignon with the ulu mash which was yummy. The garlic herb butter was so good with it. The seared ahi steak was also delicious!! And the scallops too! Probably 5/5 all around on the food. The green beans starter were really yummy. So was the cheese ravioli. Focaccia was good. Guava limeade was good but probably wouldn't order again. I would absolutely come back here and will be recommending it to everyone!! If you've been to Maui; this is the mamas fish house of Kauai! read more

Valet parking is nice especially since parking can be difficult. Excellent sunset views from most anywhere in the dining room. Wait staff is very kind and attentive. We were a party of 4 with 2 birthdays. We were seated promptly. 2 of us ordered filet mignon and both steaks were cooked perfectly and extremely tender. Mashed potatoes were super yummy. Other 2 had fish and were impressed with both dishes. We were given 2 very tasty slices of cake for birthdays. Overall it was a superb experience with price tag to match. read more

The Beach House - Sunset view from restaurant - Asian Fusion Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

This was a surprise visit and not really on the schedule to visit. However, it was the best restaurant we've visit, with scenic views and the probably the best wait staff I've had on the island. We sat next to the window on the ocean side and felt these tables provided the nicest views overall, but the sunset was still not truly visible from our seats. After dinner, we sat along a rock wall on the west side of the restaurant, and found a nice vantage point from this location. There were patio seats along the the outside of the restaurant but were for happy hour patrons only. If you dine here, always have the seafood, as it was fresh and delicious, as are many of the seafood restaurants in the Hawaiian Islands. read more

Came for sunset with 7 people with a reservation. Let me say that at the prices we were willing to pay I expected more. First problem was our table was directly in front of the wait station so all night we had waiters and waitresses dumping dirty dishes and ringing in orders. Also we had the outside beam in front of the table so half of the people at the table couldn't see outside for the sunset. Secondly the food was just so so. The one bright spot was our waitress she was fantastic. Beautiful spot to come see the sunset but too expensive for what you get! read more

Good- The view and surfers, parrots coming home at the end of the evening, the house mai tai, the crab cakes and green beans. The filet mignon was excellent. Bad- Szechuan cucumber salad disappointing and way overpriced, there was a wait to our table without enough seating, unusually slow service, truly under seasoned beet salad. Summary-All in all, someplace that is quite expensive but a one time visit for many other reasons besides the cost. read more

Reservation was at 7:15, seated around 7:30. Waited a long time to order and a long time to receive food. Steaks and pasta were overcooked, mango lemonade had no taste of mango. Very limited food options and bugs everywhere. Nice view but not worth the expensive price. read more

The Beach House - Roach in bathroom - Asian Fusion Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

Walked in and got the last two spots at the bar. We weren't facing the wonderful view, but it was easy enough to turn around or step outside for the sunset. I thought the bartenders and all of the servers who spoke to us (while waiting to pick up their orders) were exceptionally friendly and engaging. Our service was a 5+. The cocktails were fantastic and the bartender deserves a 5+ as well! The cocktails averaged $20 which seems to be the norm for this vacation. We ordered the shrimp appetizer and the crab cakes for a light dinner. I thought the crab cakes were a 4, but the shrimp lacked flavor and I could only give that a 3. Overall, I would return for a seat at the bar and enjoy the great service and cocktails! read more

The view of the ocean was amazing and we saw surfers and a beautiful sunset. I recommend sitting inside bc it often rains and those outside got wet. But the rain gave us a beautiful rainbow in the east. The food was good but not amazing but I'd go again for the ambiance! We loved how people dressed up semi formal for dinner. Even families with children were celebrating. It gave an atmosphere of elegance. The sunset was beautiful and many groups went out on the lawn for pictures. It's the perfect setting for a special occasion. We asked for a table by the window and got an excellent view of the ocean and groups celebrating. Even tho it was busy, our server, Chad, gave us prompt attention and was always available for requests The broccoli salad with a side of blackened chicken was excellent. The seasoning of the chicken was perfect and the meat was tender. We received a complimentary dessert in honor of our anniversary and the occasion was celebrated by the wait staff. Overall it was a great experience and a highlight of our trip to Hawaii! read more

This was one of our must visit stops while on our vacation and I would highly recommend you doing the same if you're in Koloa.. We arrived early and thankfully they offer Valet Parking, it's very reasonable and convenient. The hostess adjusted our reservation and we were seated on the patio. The views are all but maybe a couple amazing. It is an open air environment with limited glass. Our server on both visits, yes we had to come back before going home, were great, very attentive. We arrived during Happy Hour and samples many or the appetizers, the Sashimi Ahi was the best I have ever tasted anywhere. The Ahi Tostada was a very close 2nd. The wife loved the Green Beans, she wanted them a second time, ie 2nd visit. read more

What a disappointment. Yes, the views are beautiful, but the experience was utterly horrible. We called ahead asking about dietary accommodations and on the phone were told one thing but in actuality there was only one vegan option which was the pot pie without the puff pastry top, so just curry veggies and rice. The staff did not try to work with us and our kids left hungry. This place felt like a Cheesecake Factory by the sea. Not worth the views. read more

Excellent final meal of our trip. Our party of 8 enjoyed Mai Tai's, seafood pasta, filet, macadamia fish, etc and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their all of it.

The most expensive meal in Hawaii. Made a reservation for 5pm Saturday though Open Table, as there were no 530, 6pm, nor 630pm reservations for weeks ahead. The complimentary foccacia baked bread was a step down from previous years, flavor of dinner rolls The $18 smashed cucumber salad came with a ton of chopped mangos drenched in a pool of sesame sauce. Should have ordered the salad with sauce on the side, as the mangos alone would have given the salad plenty of flavor. Wife loved her $53 ahi tuna, expertly cooked seared on the outside and raw on the inside. My $53 macadamia crusted mahi mahi was on the small side at about 4 ounces, without much flavor until you mixed in the lemon celery caper relish. Serving size of both fish was on the small side compared to portions at Coconuts Fish Cafe or Paia Fish Market in Kihei on Maui, and at almost double the price of the Maui restaurants. 4% kitchen service fee added to bring final bill to $135.04 after tax but before tip. And we didn't order drinks nor dessert. Turned out that sunset was not until 620pm, hence all the openings at 5pm, but packed at 6pm. You're paying for the sunset view. Come 7pm or afterwards and you should get a discount, as no view at night read more

Amazing Valentine's day meal. Great food,service, and view. The pork potstickers were a great start. The pineapple habenero sauce was a sweet heat. The goat cheese mac nut salad was amazing. We split one. I had the house fish, which was Mahi Mahi. Among the top 10 fish meals I've ever had. My wife had the center cut filet. It was perfectly cooked medium rare, perfectly seasoned. I had a bite- just excellent. The desserts were really good too. They had a blondie mac nut special with ice cream. It was kind of like an oatmeal cookie with ice cream. Minor ding, as it wasn't heated. Other than that it was good. The chocolate cake was really tasty with a raspberry sauce. The only suggestion would be more cream sauce. Service was great, fun atmosphere and right on the beach. One of the top places on the island! read more

The upside is the setting is beautiful. The service was friendly but definitely not fine dining or professional waitstaff level of service. The biggest disappointment is the pace is rushed and the decor is reflective of a dated family restaurant. The upholstered chairs are worn and some are tattered. The food was decent but not fantastic nor reflective of the fine dining prices. Two adults will easily spend $250-$300 with an appetizer, two entrees and two cocktails. read more

Made reso for Mother's Day. Easy parking, used valet. Excellent menu for a special occasion, excellent service. Great dinner.

He was extremely attentive in refilling our waters and providing focaccia bread while waiting for our appetizers. We got the coconut shrimp which was a fun! But the main dishes that impressed us were the ahi tuna steak and the macadamia crusted swordfish. We licked the plate clean! We also ended the night with a chocolate mochi cake.
