About the restaurant

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.

The food and service were actually very good. The restaurant is in an attractive facility, but it is open air. Our only complaint was that because we had a large party. We were seated upstairs in the back of the restaurant and there were no ceiling fans and we didn’t get much airflow in that area and because it was a very warm evening it was not very comfortable. The food was great, love the cornbread, flatbreads, and Burgers. The desserts were excellent. The Mai tai was great!
