Beach House Restaurant is an upscale seafood restaurant and bar on Lawai Road in Koloa, on Kauaʻi’s south shore. Tables look out over the Pacific, with surfers in view and a clear reason to time dinner for sunset. The menu draws on local fish and Pacific Rim flavors; order macadamia-crusted mahi mahi, ahi poke tostada or ulu ravioli. The mai tai is another popular pick. Prices are on the high side, so this suits a special dinner or cocktails with a view more than a budget meal.
A south-shore table by the water
Beach House Restaurant is at 5022 Lawai Road in Koloa, on Kauaʻi’s south shore. Its open-air dining areas face the Pacific, with views of the coastline and a surf break. The restaurant sits beside Lawa’i Beach, and the waves remain in sight as you eat.
The setting is a large part of the appeal. As the sun drops, diners can watch the changing light over the water and surfers catching waves. If you arrive early, the grassy area outside gives you a place to enjoy the view before dinner. Sunset is popular, so reserve ahead if that is the time you have in mind.
What to order
The menu combines seafood and island ingredients with Pacific Rim influences. Macadamia-crusted mahi mahi is a recurring favorite; other dishes mentioned include ahi poke tostada, ulu ravioli and fish and lobster pasta. The fish selection gives you another way to try local seafood, and the menu also includes vegetarian options, though the selection is limited.
For a drink, order a mai tai. Desserts include coconut crème brûlée and Kauai Coffee tiramisu. Prices are on the higher side, which makes this a better fit for a planned dinner, celebration or cocktail stop than a quick, low-cost meal.
Planning your visit
The restaurant serves dinner and has a bar, so you can come for a full meal or just drinks and a small plate. The atmosphere is upscale but not formal; casual clothing is fine. Reservations are recommended, particularly for a sunset meal, when demand is high.
Beach House is also close to Lawa’i Beach, a popular snorkeling spot. If you are combining dinner with time by the water, plan your beach visit separately and check conditions before entering the ocean. The restaurant’s address is on Lawai Road in Koloa.
