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.

Fun happy hour with great music. We’ve had dinner there before so we knew the food was good. We chose the potstickers and sweet potato chips with cheese sauce to start. A nice selection of nonalcoholic beverages worked well. To finish we both just had salads. Yummy. Great service as well.

Absolutely delicious from start to finish! The before dinner cocktails were fantastic highly recommend anything made with their mezcal! The appetizers featured some of the most delicious ravioli I’ve ever tasted and the filet was just an absolute chefs kiss which was a relief for me because of my fish allergy. The deserts were good but not the highlight however the desert drinks were on point !! This is definitely an instant family classic and we can’t wait to come back !
