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.

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.

    I wanted to surprise my wife with a beautiful dinner for her birthday. I mentioned that it would be your birthday dinner. All the staff acknowledged that it was her birthday upon arriving, which made me very happy to see her smile. The ambience in this restaurant is impeccable, beautiful views, and great architecture. The staff was very pleasant and respectful. They even went above and beyond and provided me with a lighter to take home to light my wife’s birthday cake. As for the food, we decided upon getting a tomahawk meal which came with two sides. I am not a fan of brussels sprouts but after today, I will be making brussels sprouts this exact way. The char on the brussels sprouts and flavor that erupted in your mouth was one of a kind. We also decided on getting their carrots, which were also equally as divine. The steak was cooked to perfection a beautiful medium rare my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and highly recommended it to anyone visiting the Princeville or Hanalei Bay area. Thank you so much for this wonderful and special dining experience.
