    Always a favorite restaurant of mine when visiting Kauai! The prime rib is so flavorful, tender and juicy! Paired with island fish, I always know I'm going to get a great meal here! The view is also so lovely - Lihue Bay is stunning. Great meal here last night celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary (with complementary Hula Pie), it was a wonderful evening from start to finish.

    We’ve been to the Beach House many times over 30 years now. The ambience is amazing still. The menu has definitely changed with newer management. The lobster deviled eggs are terrific. We enjoyed them with the nonalcoholic drinks! The beet salad was delicious too. We both had the macadamia crusted fish— yummy. The pasta looked good…maybe next time. Had to try the chocolate mochi cake: pretty good. Overall it was lovely again.

    Excellent service. We were seated with a short 5 minute wait amongst a very crowded restaurant. Dozens were outside waiting. But we got our table in the spot as the last visit, near the fishpond. The muffins used to be complimentary. But they were really good over the years so we ordered a set for $7. The prime rib was excellent as always. It was very tender and juicy. The Hula Pie for dessert is a must. The ice cream with Mac nuts, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, chocolate cookie crust, has been the best thing for dessert for decades.

    They said they never received our Open Table reservation and I had to show my confirmation to which we were put on a list and still had to wait 30 minutes. Good food, not great
