Our go to for brunch and dinner. Their brunch is absolutely amazing, we ordered one of each main item and couldn’t decide what we loved the most. Everything was so delicious, I’m still craving the Gouda grits and kalua pork hash! For dinner we always over order apps and salads since you can’t go wrong with their cheese board, the various dips (go straight for the dip trio you won’t be disappointed!) ceviche, and bravas. Beet salad and Caesar are amazing, followed by the oxtail and lamb. Don’t pass on the smores either, perfect ending to a great meal.

What a great experience! Kalaha Resort was beautiful, so we came early to walk around the grounds. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and it was so much fun to see the dolphins and walk along the beach to the small island. Dinner was superb: the food was excellent, and our waiter Eric was top-notch. I'd highly recommend Plumeria House restaurant. Sit outside if you can----it's such a romantic experience!
