• View, service and usually food.
• Food poisoning.

“I've been vacationing in Kauai for the past 12 years, and have eaten at the Beach House at least once on every visit. Always had great food, good service and a wonderful view. However, this time my visit (March 2009) was not happy: I was violently ill all night after returning home from the restaurant. Food poisoning? Sure felt like it to me. But for me the sad thing was not that this happened - sometimes these events are just part of life.”

• Beautiful sunset.
• Bad Ono.

“The beach house came highly recommended by our close friends who eat there a lot. My husband made a reservation 4 weeks in advance and told them it was our anniversary to ensure a nice table. When we got there, we had to wait 15 minutes for our table and then we were seated right in front of a wall so we could not see the sunset at all! We begged the hostess to move us, which she did but that caused another problem. Our waiter wasn't notified of our move. We sat at our table and waited over 20 minutes before we finally were able to order a drink (thankfully the bus boy was on top of it so we had bread and water). Our waiter was a giant sweetheart, but we could tell he was not happy there. My husband had the Ahi, which was fabulous. I, unfortunately, ordered the Ono. I have been sick ever since (I actually remember getting a funky bite that tasted like rotten fish)! (Some friends of ours ate there the night before and were also poisoned by the Ono.) I would go here again simply for the beautiful sunset, but maybe Ill just have a cocktail).”

• Great view at sunset.
• Overpriced and rude staff.

“My wife and I have dined at the beach house at least once each year (except when they were closed after iniki) for the past 25 years. Last night was a disappointment. Even though we had reservations and arrived a few minutes early, we had to wait for our table. The staff members at the reception desk were very unfriendly. Our table was crowded into a corner far from the windows and had very little view. Our waiter was very slow, possibly too busy with too many tables. After he brought a bottle of white wine, he asked if we wanted an ice bucket. Of course we wanted an ice bucket; there was a long wait between courses and the main dish was served at room temperature. Clearly, they are so busy that they don't have to care. When we canceled our reservation for the coming week, they did not even ask why.”

• Outstanding vistas.
• Food and service - (enjoy the view from the lawn by the beach its more satisfying).

“In the 20 some years that my wife and I have visited the islands and dined at the Beach House this was an all time low! The service was fair, the food okay and the reception desk cold and unresponsive. They have a wonderful location which lets them get away with such lack of detail but beware there's always another tsunami on the horizon and other great restaurants to explore. ”

• Nice View.
• Dangerous Food.

“Nice View, Dangerous Food: Read great reviews, so booked two weeks in advance for our first night. What a disaster - My husband got food poisoning from the Asian Duck. Flew from the East coast and spent thousands of dollars on air and hotel - where we spent most of our vacation. Had to make a trip to Wilcox hospital where they confirmed food poisoning. It took a week to get over it. The marketing manager at the hotel said he would call the Beach House. We never heard a thing. I also wrote when we got home; no response to the email. Food safety should be a restaurant's top priority. DO NOT risk your vacation ”

• direct sun at front tables

“Of course you can't beat the view. Problem is if you get a front table the heat from the beautiful setting sun is very uncomfortable. I would recommend asking for a raised booth. you do have people in front of you but you are slightly higher and much more confortable. Prices are high but its worth it.”

• Atmosphere, food, service, friendliness, price for quality.....all perfect.
• In our two dining experiences we could find nothing negative......sorry.....we had a tough time parking?? They have vallet...Sorry I tried.

“I could write a big ole' review on how great EVERYTHING was but I don't have time. It was so good after the 1st visit we decided to cancel other reservations and go back even as we were leaving. When we we got back to our hotel from the 1st visit there was a meassage from THE BEACH HOUSE thanking us for visiting and hoped everything was ok and if not to call them bacK!!!?? Needless to say we went back and it was the same exact experience all over again! AWESOME! ”
