Laura RedmondFebruary 24, 2013View, amazing; Macadamia nut encrusted fish, delicious; chocolate dessert was very good (prefer the chocolate soufflé at Roy's); Mervin, our waiter was the best we've had in a week and 1/2 in Hawaii!
Amanda LongOctober 31, 2018This place is amazing!! The most beautiful view. The service was awesome and the food was amazing. Definitely order the pork belly!! But everything was delicious.
Praful GuptaApril 23, 2015Excellent place to get dinner. They have a separate vegetarian menu. I had the Tofu + Catch of the day special with tofu replacing the fish. It was excellent! A great spot to catch the sunset.- Amanda LongOctober 31, 2018This place is amazing!! The most beautiful view. The service was awesome and the food was amazing. Definitely order the pork belly!! But everything was delicious.
plantbasedbabeOctober 20, 2018best service, view, and food! Edwin was great and was able to accommodate a vegan option for me (:. I got the roasted beats (sooo good TRUST me) just let your server know you’re vegan !
Jeffrey BytomskiJuly 8, 2015Macadamia nut crusted mahi was amazing!!! Great view. Service , and food. Go at sunset.
KaitlinApril 14, 2013Worth it. Despite the naysayers, this place has excellent food, stellar service, and great views. The vanilla bean-brown butter vinaigrette on their arugula salad is something to write home about.
Patrick HughesApril 7, 2019Came for happy hour from 2:30-4:30 (Daily) excellent pupus, and pretty much half the price as usual...wont find a better view so sit on the lanai! 🥂🏝
Caroline FlournoyMarch 29, 2019Pumpkin ravioli 👍appetizer was REALLY good + the ahi Cesar salad 👍! Pork appetizer was just ok don’t order the coconut pie. The view is awesome especially at night + the parakeets fly in around
Andrew GoldmanAugust 16, 2012Food was amazing and we didn't experience the poor service that others mentioned. Panko crusted calamari was out of this world and the ahi tuna was perfect. Also get the bananas foster for dessert!
Kristin OvertonJuly 23, 2013I second/third the watermelon salad and macadamia nut crusted fresh fish and even the calamari! Great views, yet bring your patience too with the staff. Overall it was worth it!!
Jason HeinJune 11, 2014Cheaper alternative is getting the Koloa Fish Market and eating on the lawn next to the Beach House to enjoy the sunset.Upvoted Mar 23
eric bornemannJanuary 24, 2018One of the best views for sunset amy where in the world... the food almost doesn’t matter, but the mai tai is great.- Jerry SJanuary 22, 2016Potentially a great sunset view. What you need to realize is that the view you get is of the backs of the non dining public standing between you in your great seat and the sunset.
- Paul GerhardtJuly 22, 2019Best Mai Tai on Kauai with an amazing lawn and views overlooking a nice sunset.
E SmutkoJanuary 29, 2015By far, the best dish was the calamari. I can safely say this is the best calamari (comes in strips) that I've ever had. Everything else fell flat. Won't be back.
Jon B.September 8, 2019Attended a wedding here, which featured food from the restaurant. Both the steak and macadamia nut crusted fish were quite good.
Joseph JonesAugust 14, 2013Ask for "the secret" menu if the dinner items aren't to your liking. You will be pleased with the additional selections offered on that menu!
Paul GonsalvesFebruary 19, 2016The service is very good, vibe is great, food is great and the view is second to none!
Lisa Pilato ReaganJuly 17, 2015Excellent food everything ! Seafood was fabulous we had Scallops and Opha with red curry coconut sauce 👍 service was also fantastic.
Theresa GeigerAugust 6, 2013If you can't get a sunset reservation, show up early and have a drink at the bar. The view is beautiful and the drinks are great.
Dee Dee BallJanuary 10, 2017Carrot Cake! I don't order dessert, but had to have it when I saw it on another table. Has a Hawaiian flair with coconut, pineapple, macadamia nuts
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010The vivid colors of the Kauai sunset are mirrored in the vivid flavors at this romantic seaside restaurant. The daily catch, served on a bed of warm tomato couscous salad, is the perfect island meal.
Lance LacoffOctober 28, 2014Amazing views, valet parking, professional staff, macadamia nut butter mahi mahi, King Estate pinot gris, coconut sorbet
Eric VenkerAugust 21, 2014Famous for the sunset view, you don't have to be a patron to enjoy it. Just walk on up the grass and have a seat over the rock wall and take it in.
Amber KatzSeptember 6, 2013Great views, amazing food, but our waitress took a full hour before taking our order... And then Houdini'd much of the time, when I had a plane to catch.
Mips PryorJuly 6, 2014Absolutely delicious and amazing service! Our server Brett was great! The sunset was stunning along the ocean!- Erik LeistAugust 18, 2014Best restaurant view on the island and the food is incredible too. Daily selection of fresh fish.
Ben DraperNovember 16, 2010The Fire Grilled Ahi was very good. I got it rare and it was cooked to perfection. My wife got the seafood pasta dish, and the scallops were the best either of us have had!
Stephanie WilsonMay 9, 2014Sunset is the best time to visit -- ask for a seat right beside the window for the best views.
Annmarie HillDecember 23, 2012Better prices & no long waits at lunch, nice open air restaurant right on the water to watch snorkelers, surfers and whales ;)
Frank GruberJanuary 29, 2014This is an amazing place to watch a Kauai sunset. The seafood is also fabulous.
Mike LamoureuxNovember 8, 2013We showed up early for our reservations. The staff was snobby and rude, couldn't get a drink at the bar. Instead we left and went up the road to Roy's. Had a great time and good food.
MartaApril 11, 2011Great place to watch the sunset!!! They have a huge outside area along the shore... Try the drink made from the sugar cane lequor and honey! Yum- Prisela GonzalezOctober 23, 2022Everything we had was awesome. Staff was friendly. Best food we had on the island.
- Chad RDecember 16, 2010Booked sunset reservations 45 mins before. Awesome view, awesome mahi mahi. Service was lackluster and the desert was not as described. But the view - fantastic.
Suzanne EisenhauerMay 30, 2013Ask for sunset reservations. A perfect place to get a great pic with that special someone. They have a photographer available.
- Laureen LMarch 5, 2013Sunset was amazing. Scallops, ceviche. Ahi roll and watermelon salad are all delicious.
- Dennis Wilson JrNovember 24, 2011View is spectacular, but so far service is wanting. Bartender challenged transferring our bar tab and then our timid waitress was pulled away in the middle of explaining menu to us by another table.
Lauren MorrisonMay 26, 2013Get the Bananas Foster. SO good. It's big though so I would suggest sharing :)
Don Michael AntonioAugust 14, 2013what a beautiful scene on the lawn，especially if u r attending a wedding that takes place there！
Peter BarefordMay 26, 2014Wonderful restaurant! Could be the best I have ever visited! Antony Bourdain
Paul MorrisAugust 15, 2012Tip for the spontaneous-bar and lounge includes nice outdoor terrace. Great table, no reservations!!!
RCAugust 4, 2017Food is touristy but not terrible. Nice view of the sunset. The macadamia crusted catch of the day was over-buttery but fine.
sp udMarch 19, 2012Ignore the average service...the food is exceptional. Scallops were super and the seafood pasta sauce was light but very good.
Jessica ChanOctober 11, 2011go around 5pm and get a seat at the bar. bring your camera. you won't regret it.

"Scenic sunset. Great snorkeling but be very careful with strong currents! The Beach House restaurant on your left is one of the best of the island!"

"I love the fruity flavors - they've got the exact same flavor and texture as real fruit! Considering how big the scoops are, the price is not too bad. Better than Baskin Robin's: 31 Flavors."
Ardyss - 8.1
