History
The Beach House Restaurant on Kauai is well-known to both residents and visitors for its spectacular oceanfront setting along the island's sunny south shore. As a consistent winner of Honolulu Magazine's Hale Aina Gold Award for Best Kauai Restaurant, The Beach House has earned a reputation on Kauai that goes well beyond its breathtaking setting.
The Beach House team has nurtured a winning formula that melds gracious Hawaiian service and innovative Pacific Rim Cuisine in its unbeatable location. Along with The Beach House's famous sunset views, it's equally easy to get swept away by Chef Marshall Blanchard's creative twists on island favorites. Take a slice of paradise, mix well with a generous helping of island hospitality and a bounty of Hawaiian flavors, and you'll discover what nourishes the soul and brings you back for seconds.
