    The bartender was friendly. The hostess was very accommodating with seating us at a table with a view. "Mikey" was our server and he was very helpful with recommendations. My husband had the potstickers and thought they were very good. We shared the ahi tartare and salmon sashimi and both were very good. Nice place!

    Seared ahi was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Best meal I’ve had in years. My husband had the short ribs and they were tender and flavorful. Portions were spot on. View was incredible and we were fortunate to see the incredible south shore sunset from our table. Staff and management were attentive, thoughtful, and diligent. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

    Eating at 1849 Eating House in Poipu is always a treat. I highly recommend the potstickers, ribeye tataki, Misoyaki Butterfish and the famous lava cake.

    Wow! Every item ordered was a delight for the taste buds. We had a variety of apps from ribs to the flanks steak sliced thin with flavored poi and pickled tomatoes (my favorite) . The mains: Butterfish, paella, ribeye, blackened ahi were all fabulous! Wait staff were friendly and attentive. Couldn't ask for a better dining experience.🌺🤩

    We love the food at this restaurant and look forward to our return. However, huge shout out to our server, Mikee, who is over the top when it comes to service and knowledge. We’ll be back and make sure to request Mikee!
