Good food, not the best in Koloa, but you're paying top dollar for the setting and sunset, e.g., $28 for four medium size shrimp. The tuna was bland but the sauce tasty. Service was very good, and the view top notch. No AC so dress appropriately and wear sunglasses as you're likely looking into the sun. A nice restaurant for special occasions. read more

Would recommend for a special occasion - wonderful views. However, *Service: tried to engage with our server but he seemed to be on auto-pilot. Polite, but felt like he knew to keep conversations to a minimum, maybe to move tables. *Food: Pretty limited menu which is fine when the chef has each dish perfected. We had 4 different entrees - no one complained but all agreed there was nothing impressive - price did not justify the entree. *FYI: 4% tip added for kitchen staff *Valet is only $5 - nice! *Their infamous $19 Mai Tai was not our cup of tea. We've been entertaining Hawaii Mai Tai's for the last 20 years- Moana Surf Rider/Waikiki used to be the best (although they have been on the decline) - wish HI establishments would go back to classic mai tai's - get rid of the froth! Go, check it off your bucket list, get your picture and be done with it. And if you don't need the photo op, go somewhere else read more

Another great meal. A perfect place to watch the sunset but do bring your sunglasses - even if you're inside. Natalia was an excellent server. Try the scallops. Also their specialty mai tai. Still pricey but still worth it - as you can tell by the crowds! read more

We went to The Beach House on our second night in Kaua'i after hearing it was one of the island's "must-try" spots. Unfortunately, the experience was a big letdown. We had a 7:00 pm reservation and were seated a little early, which was nice, but things went downhill quickly. Our server, Tory, came across as impatient and borderline rude while members of our group were still looking over the menu. Speaking of the menu, it's unnecessarily long -- nearly 10 pages, with only two pages of actual food options. They offer maybe three main entrées in total, but page after page of overpriced cocktails and drinks ($9 for a simple lemonade). In addition we overheard another waiter telling his table about the specials of the night which we would have loved to here about since members of our party found it very very difficult to find something to get since there was very slim pickings. Drinks alone took about 20 minutes to arrive. We ordered appetizers and entrées, but portions were extremely small, and the food itself was nothing special. For a restaurant with such a reputation, we expected much better. The atmosphere didn't help either -- it was incredibly loud, with little sense of comfort or intimacy. Yes, the oceanfront view is gorgeous, but you can enjoy the same sunset for free from countless other spots on Kaua'i. Paying nearly $400 for a family meal that was mediocre at best just isn't worth it. On top of that, parking is a headache unless you pay $5 for valet. Overall, The Beach House feels incredibly overrated. Some reviewers compare it to Mama's Fish House on Maui, but after dining at both, I can confidently say this place isn't even close. Beautiful view aside, everything else fell flat. We won't be returning. read more

The atmosphere at Beach House is incredible. Watching advanced surfers as the sun sets while eating dinner is hard to beat. We went here on our honeymoon and got a glass of champagne on the house to celebrate. Would definitely suggest going here for any occasion - we saw lots being celebrated! Our waitress Anna was very kind and did not rush us out at all. We loved that the fish we had was caught the morning of - "day boat" or "fresh catch" per the menu. The freshest and best seafood on Kaua'i we had! read more

We were really looking forward to dining here because we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Merriman's in Maui (same chain ) I would say this paled a bit in comparison food- quality wise. Upscale, dining rooms, excellent service, but food was definitely not worth the bill. The view along the beach reminded us almost exactly of the beautiful beach view of Merrimans on Maui. Great wine menu, they do provide complementary bread before the meal I liked the garlic pieces that were smooshed into the top. I always appreciate when a fancy spot has a kids menu, and my kids chicken meal that came with Ulu mashed potatoes was actually pretty good. The salad we got was a bit sad and bland. I love having Mac crusted fish when I come to Hawaii- their version is tender and I like the light macadamia nut crusting on top, I just didn't feel like it was worth over $60 and I have had decent versions for $40+. We ended up getting the veggie pot pie because we didn't want to get multiple entrées over $60, and surprisingly it was actually really good. I liked that the crossed on top with thin and had a pastry like crisp and fluff to it and the veggies inside were really flavorful. Overall, I think we just left not quite sure how we spent almost $220, it just wasn't worth it . read more

Another lovely meal and overall fantastic experience at Beach House! Everyone we interacted with - valet, hostess, food and drink runners, bussers and our server Carly - was so nice and friendly and really made us feel our business was appreciated. The cucumber salad, the special appetizer of ahi tostada and the daily catch of mahi mahi were all delicious and well-executed. You can't beat the location but they don't take the views for granted and definitely deliver a special-occasion worthy experience. read more

The view is gorgeous. That's the only thing this third-rate tourist-bilking slophouse has going for it. I understand staffing is difficult on Kauai, and nowhere is it more evident than this place, from the slimy management to the inept chefs to the anti-Aloha servers. If you want to pay hundreds of dollars for oversalted wannabe Denny's food, by all means, book a table. Otherwise you'd be better off at any of the other resort dining spots, or better yet head just up the road to anyplace in Kōloa. read more

Amazing views, great service and drinks. We had appetizers portions are painfully small for the price but nonetheless delicious would highly recommend read more

Everything went well! Food was amazing, the Mai Tai I had was the best (so far), service was excellent and you couldn't ask for a better location right on the water with sea turtles and surfers to entertain us! Valet parking was only $5 (plus tip). We had reservations, so we were seated quickly. Definitely worth the money! read more

Service: 5 Food: 4.5 Ambiance: 3 Value: 3 The food was good. We both started with the Mai Tai. He liked it. I thought it was too tart. Then we had the Mahi encrusted with macadamias. It came over sautéed mini bok choy with a side of rice and a nice cream sauce. We both loved it. The service was great and the views of the ocean were good. I made reservations a quite a bit in advance and they still gave us the table right next to the open kitchen. It was noisy and really detracted from what should have been a nice meal. For the amount we spent on this meal, I was a bit disappointed. read more

I'm sad to say.. after coming to the Beach House for 30 years and weathering the ups and downs of inconsistent food/service for views, sunsets, and nostalgia we will no longer be dining here. We will stop by to have a cocktail and take a pic at sunset but we would rather spend the amount of money we spent at a restaurant that is actually good! And consistent! The prices have gotten to be some of the highest around for basic meals of small portions thrown together. Even the drinks are suffering. I ordered a lychee martini and they sent a Cosmo. An example of the inconsistency- they split some plates and others not. The goat cheese salad although all the classic flavors felt thrown together and overdressed. My parents split the macadamia nut crusted swordfish. It was the tiniest piece of fish I had ever seen- 3 bites -that's it for $70. The ahi had mixed reviews. My daughters had a huge fresh piece with no tendon and hot. Mine was a small piece, full of tendon and cold- including the jalepeno mashed potatoes . The only redeeming dish was the venison! Delish and a good portion for the high prices! We Skipped dessert. Disappointing read more

Our second trip to this restaurant with the span of two years and it did not disappoint again. I made reservations on OpenTable over two weeks in advance again for our 5:30 Sunday dinner, knowing this was a busy spot and I was only able to get a countertop bar seat. Since it was our anniversary, I had called to see if there might be anything else available. Upon arrival, we were able to get a booth for two that had beautiful views where we could see the sunset, but I have to say the countertop bar would've been fine, also view wise, we just preferred the table. Their menu seems to have condensed from what I remember, but perhaps this allows them to focus on the quality which was definitely equally as good if not better than our first visit. There was only one fresh fish choice which was a mahi type fish macadamia nut crusted, and they also added this fish to the fresh pasta special of the day which my husband had. The fish was fresh and a good portion as we remembered, and we had a Caesar salad to complement. We also were greeted by our server, Molly with complimentary champagne glasses to toast our occasion. We were too full to try the desserts, although the desserts all looked wonderful. If you're looking for a waterfront open air restaurant, this is one of the best in Kauai that we found, and the sunset views never disappoint! Our server was excellent and checked on us several times and was very accommodating. Parking has always been a challenge for us and we later found out that parking is allowed in one of the nearby condo or hotel areas. Be sure to ask ahead about this as it could save you some steps! read more

Go at sunset and book a table with a view. Currently, the patio is very dark. But the view of the sun setting on the ocean was spectacular. The valet duo were hardworking and helpful. The staff is lovely and welcoming from the hosts to the wait staff - John was observant and insightful, Nate took our photo for us. Unfortunately, the chef is not at the level of the property. The cucumber salad with papaya was a good combination but it needed significantly more dressing to balance the bitter greens. My filet came out overcooked. My partner's short rib dish was better. But his bok choy and my swiss chard were bland. Even the mashed potatoes had no personality and were a little gluey. They were kind enough to send over a gluten-free chocolate mochi dessert for our special occasion, but sadly it was terrible. Valet parking is necessary and costs $5. At this price point, the food needs to be executed at a higher level. read more

The best sunset views, period. Although more crowded last night than during previous visits over the years (and we've been coming back for almost 30 years). Decent food but the views at dusk are what we always come back for. Service staff very good as well. read more

We got vegetarian curry pot pies and vegetarian pastas, and both were excellent. The taste and texture of both dishes hit the spot. Portions were large but manageable.

Food: I would say mid at best. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. I ordered venison, everything was cooked fine but my food wasn't exactly warm. Macadamia fish was good, the salad on the crab cakes was delicious... crab cakes were okay (they are never my favorite though) , I was not a fan of the coconut shrimp. Caesar salad was bitter, but okay. Service: Was okay, someone asked for sprite, server response was we don't have sprite, we have ginger ale, then proceeded to order the kids Shirley temples (with 7 up) like..... huh? Ambiance: Apparently they are supposed to have action at the best sunset . I wouldn't know, our dinner was at 815 pm. But inside was nice Would I go back? Mmm, not likely. Maybe yo catch the sunset and some cocktails read more

My grandma insisted we eat here on our family trip since they catered my uncle's wedding and it was delicious. I ordered the venison and it was phenomenal. Perfectly rare, with a fragrant herb sauce, saffron rice and green beans. I would order it again in a heartbeat. My family really enjoyed the scallops, mahi mahi crusted with macadamia nuts, ahi steak, short rib special, coconut shrimp, potstickers and the goat cheese salad. The macadamia crusted fish came with "garlic and scallion" rice, but it was pretty bland. The goat cheese salad did not come with nearly enough goat cheese for the price. Everything else was positively delicious. It is definitely a pricy restaurant, but I would return for a nice occasion. We had a reservation and were sat immediately. Service was good, but I wish they had been more attentive about waters. There's also almost no parking, we had to get valet because we had no other option. read more

I'm not sure why this place doesn't have more stars. My husband and I spent our last night in Kauai having dinner at Beach House and it did not disappoint! A sunset dinner was the perfect capper to our lovely Kauai trip. We booked a table for 6pm in early May. I think this time of year 6pm or a little earlier for the front row tables is the best. The food and drinks were delicious and timely. Terrific service and laid back, beachy lux environment. Even the tale of the bad parrots did not prevent us from enjoying ourselves. Highly recommend! read more

Food was good, but the location was breathtaking. If you can, ask for a seat right by the windows or outside! Had their house Mai Tai which was delicious - had a sea foam on top. Tried their mahi mahi but subbed for mashed potatoes. Husband had their surf and turf (4/5). Both dishes were a little salty (& I'm a salt girl), but still good. I tried the lemon ricotta cake, which unfortunately was dry. read more

The ambience and location of this place are amazing. However, what brought it down to 3 stars was the cost versus the output. Everything here is crazy expensive, and in my opinion, you don't get quite what you pay for across the board. We ordered cocktails: the Monkeypod Mai Tai, Ke'ohe Sour, and Whiskey Sour. All were good, but the Ke'ohe sour was the favorite overall. But at $21 a drink, they weren't worth that price point. To start, we got the Coconut Shrimp and Szechuan Salad. The salad was a JOKE especially for the steep price. We got about 10 large leaves of lettuce with some giant chunks of cucumber and strawberries thrown in haphazardly. Big disappointment. The coconut shrimp, on the other hand was delicious and I would order again. Entrees, we got the Seared Ahi and Scallops. My husband said the Ahi was the best meal he's had so far on the island. The scallops were good, not worth the price in my opinion. Overall, I think if we went back here and only ordered our favorite things, we would be better off. read more

We went to the Beach House this afternoon for Happy Hour. We had the Monkey Pod Mai Tai and coconut shrimp and special fried calamari. They also gave us focaccia bread with garlic oil for dipping. It was all good. Josh, our waiter, was very personable and attentive. Ambiance was great as we had a table by the open door with the full ocean view! It is very pricey, but during happy hour there were $5.00 discounts on drinks and appetizers. read more

The view and vibes here were great! Our friend actually proposed to his girlfriend out on the grassy area with the view of the beach while we dined here. The Mai Tai was great, not super sweet it was more spirit forward which was great! I get very turned off when my food isn't served hot or at least warm. The bread wasn't warm at all but I let it slide, THEN my filet plate came out and wasn't even warm at all either. So, needless to say I wasn't impressed with the food. On the plus side, their coconut creme brûlée was GREAT! I could've done without the cookies on the side they weren't too good but I love coconut and creme brûlée so the combo of both in one dessert was perfect! read more

We had a very positive experience here and were honestly surprised by some of the lower reviews. The oceanfront setting is stunning, and it delivered one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever experienced. Timing dinner with sunset is absolutely worth it and elevates the entire meal. Both the food and drinks were excellent--thoughtfully prepared, flavorful, and well balanced. Cocktails were especially well done, not overly sweet. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the pacing felt relaxed and intentional, which matched the atmosphere. This is not a rushed or casual spot. It's meant to be enjoyed slowly, with the view and setting as part of the experience. If you come in with that expectation, it's an amazing choice. We would absolutely return. read more

We went for happy hour on a Monday afternoon. Our server's name was Michael-he had been on the islands for 30+ years. He was chill and didn't rush us. It was a great experience. We had their world famous Monkeypod Mai Tai - it was so worth it. You can't beat the view. read more

Last night on Kauai & we wanted a nice meal. I yelped restaurants with a view & found Beach House. Valet parking ($5 plus tip). Nice restaurant right on the ocean. We sat at a table near the window. We started off with delicious focaccia bread & olive oil. Ordered the surf & turf duo (filet & scallops) came with kale salad & mashed potatoes. Our waitress Trish was very friendly. We received a champagne toast & chocolate coconut mochi with raspberry sauce because we were celebrating our anniversary. Stepped outside after dinner & caught the sun setting, saw some turtles & watched the surfers. Was a great evening. read more

Restaurant ambience is good but nothing was exceptional . Prices are way too high and portion sizes are not shareable with the cost of the things on menu . For the view , cost is pretty high since same view you can have from many other restaurants . Veg option are very limited so unless you are Non veg , may be can try once but again this is pretty expensive and not worth the price !! read more

Amazing views and great servers. Lobster fish pasta dinner was great except for overcooked "tuna". Seared ahi was also a bit over cooked. A light seer is much beer in my opinion and not the best cut of Ahi. Regardless, well worth the price of admission and truly a special place. Food could improve a little. read more

Overall great atmosphere. We were there for the sunset and birds. The fish was good, my kids said the seafood pasta was good, my wife said the scallops were excellent. The service was not very good. We would order things that would never show up. Bar drinks prices were astronomical. $28 for a knob creek old fashioned. Desserts were average. Overall, I don't think the views are worth the price for a meal. Like others have suggested, maybe go for a drink and an appetizer. read more

The food was really good -- beautifully prepared, fresh, and flavorful. You can tell a lot of care goes into the menu, and that part definitely lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, the ambiance was a big letdown. It was extremely loud -- so much so that you couldn't hear the person sitting across the table from you. Instead of the romantic, relaxed beachfront dining experience we expected, the atmosphere felt chaotic and crowded. The overall vibe honestly reminded me more of a cafeteria than an upscale oceanfront restaurant. For the price point, I expected a much more elevated and intimate experience. While the food was excellent, the lack of ambiance made it hard to fully enjoy the evening. If you're going strictly for the food, it's worth trying -- but if you're hoping for a peaceful, romantic sunset dinner in Kauai, this may not be the place. read more

The Beach House is a special treat for those visiting Kaua'i. The bar is fun, the drinks are strong, and the food is island fresh. Patty and I enjoyed small plates and drinks on Wednesday at the bar, then returned the following night for a sit-down fancy dinner. Our server, Michael, was friendly, informative, efficient, and simply a delight! The same applies to the hostess who went the extra mile to seat us in a primo location. My mushroom potpie was muy bueno, whille Patty thoroughly enjoyed her macadamia nut encrusted swordfish. Was it on the pricey side...perhaps, but for people like me who expect, and deserve, excellence, I cannot complain. read more

I came here expecting to have a great meal. It was very mediocre. It equals cafeteria food. And I was paying 69 dollars for it. My kid like his Ahi steak since it was fresh. But mine was definitely frozen. I would not recommend. I am not sure who the chef is but the presentation of the food was awful. It was slapped on the plate. The vegetables were over cooked and brown tinged. Ambient is also cafeteria ish. Too loud. People bumping into me Waiting area was terrible. People standing around. I made a reservation at 7:00. Didn't get seated until 7:30. My meal came out very late. Took a while to defrost mahi-mahi? I had better from a frozen mahi from Trader Joe's! All tourists stay away!! read more
