Our stunning ocean-front location with spectacular sunsets makes the Beach House an iconic destination on Kauai's south shore that has won the Hale 'Aina Award for "Best Restaurant - Kauai" for 20+ years. Our philosophy at the Beach House is simple - take aloha, blend it with fresh and high-quality ingredients, and add an ocean view to deliver a handcrafted, Hawaiian experience. Executive Chef Marshall Blanchard makes the most of local ingredients by sourcing our fish directly from island fisherman and our beef from neighboring ranches. We incorporate fresh and local produce throughout our menu, highlighting Hawai'i farms and the resources that surround Kauai. Reservations are highly recommended for a dining room table in our open-air restaurant. We also offer lounge seating on our lawn, where the full menu and full service are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please check in with the bar host for lawn seating.

Beach House is always a go-to favorite for our whole family when we are on Kaua’i. It was our first night on island and we were all excited to go. Beach House did not disappoint! Nate was our server (excellent service!) and the food and ambiance were perfection. We were able to watch from our table as the sky changed colors as the sun set. Wr had the lobster deviled eggs (delish!) the poke tacos (always a favorite), the lobster/seafood pasta (two orders of that because it’s so good) and our son had a filet mignon which he said was delicious. Can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. We will continue to go back again and again!

Charlie was our server and did an excellent job. Three in our party have nut allergies and he and the staff were very attentive to that. The food was delicious…Ono as they say here. Several of us had the Blue Marlin. Very good!
