- JJulivipLos Angeles •87 reviews5.0Dined todayBeach House is always a go-to favorite for our whole family when we are on Kaua’i. It was our first night on island and we were all excited to go. Beach House did not disappoint! Nate was our server (excellent service!) and the food and ambiance were perfection. We were able to watch from our table as the sky changed colors as the sun set. Wr had the lobster deviled eggs (delish!) the poke tacos (always a favorite), the lobster/seafood pasta (two orders of that because it’s so good) and our son had a filet mignon which he said was delicious. Can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. We will continue to go back again and again!More infoBeach House Restaurant- KauaiPrice: Very Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Poipu•4.7

There are many superb places to eat in Kauai, Hawaii. Many restaurants are located in old plantation homes on the east side of the island. These restaurants often feature farm-to-table cuisine and hark back to the 1930s. One of the oldest luaus in Hawaii is also located in this area of the island. Restaurants on the South shore often have beautiful beach views and feature Hawaiian-fusion cuisine.
