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.

Hualani's not only had a beautiful atmosphere but also the food was outstanding. We had five starters and all were incredible but if I had to say, which was best, it was the lobster tempura and the scallops. The Wagyu steak and lobster was delicious followed by a warm chocolate molten cake with peppermint ice cream. We are absolutely returning here. Tristan was an attentive server as well.

The staff from valet to host to wait staff and everyone in between were all wonderful. Our waitress, Courtney was so welcoming and friendly, even insisted on taking family photos after our meal. We never felt rushed and even though it was a little warm and sunny out, the staff never did complain and told us to make sure we took the time to look around (had spotted whales and pointed out where they had been). A wonderful Christmas dinner, the food was outstanding!
