Beach House Restaurant- Kauai - KOLOA

The staff was overall fantastic at the restaurant. However, we arrived a few minutes late for our reservation and were told that we had lost our open window reservation. We were seated behind tinted glass, which was disappointing as we had heard great things about the restaurant and had chosen it for my fiancé's birthday. The sales and marketing manager seemed to brush us off and did not seem to understand the significance of our special occasion. Despite this, our server was delightful and the food was excellent. However, the lack of professionalism from the management was disappointing.

We were celebrating our one year anniversary and notified the restaurant of that. The staff was so gracious and attentive even though I’m sure there were many other tables celebrating special occasions. That, and the food, service, views, and ambiance were nothing short of wonderful. Thank you for making our special day so memorable!

Great place. No matter what the view/weather a good ambiance. Good staff; are willing to take photos for you. Flavorful food from appetizers to dessert. They gave us complimentary wine for my and my boo’s anniversary.

Great food, excellent service, spectacular view. Highly recommend.

If you value your time on Kauai, please, please avoid this tourist trap. Got sucked into some reviews that made it seem a decent place to dine on Kauai. I’m not sure what people think is acceptable in a restaurant, but this isn’t it. I’m sure most people are here because it’s truly a beautiful vantage point to take a picture, and it really is. Aside from the picturesque setting, the food literally blows. We had two appetizers; the highly recommended potstickers and lobster deviled eggs. The potstickers were the only item on the menu I would recommend. They were seared just right with enough filling, and a nice semi-sweet mango habanero sauce. The lobster deviled eggs, on the other hand, were tasteless. Not enough…something. Just bland and for $25, don’t bother. I had the special of the day, a rack of lamb from Colorado. I know, why would I order any kind of meat on an island with great fish? Well,I ate fish for the last 5 nights and was craving something meat-wise. Yikes. I don’t know what to say. But there was so little meat on these chops and mostly fat and gristle that I was spitting out wads of this and that. Ugh. My husband ate his soggy macadamia nut encrusted fish, because he eats everything placed in front of him and will always say it was good,. He’s a moron. So, in conclusion…this place is not the best place on the south side. In my opinion you should go to 1. Red Salt, 2. The Eating House. Those were the two we liked . The rest were, meh.
