- MmagdaLos Angeles •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFrom start to finish, we had an amazing experience. Atmosphere was perfect for our final night in Kauai. Sunset view was spectacular. Service by Rayna (I believe that’s her name) was top notch. She was friendly, quick, and really cared about our experience. She made us all feel like family! Food was delicious from the focaccia bread to the lobster deviled eggs to the fish & lobster pasta to the macadamia crusted catch of the day! Of course we can’t forget dessert…. Coconut creme brûlée and the tiramisu were both amazing. Hubby also said his old fashion was the best he’s ever had. And our girls loved their pasta and Lappert’s ice cream! Can’t wait to dine here again when we return in the future. Thank you, The Beach House, for an unforgettable Hawaiian evening.More infoBeach House Restaurant- KauaiPrice: Very Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Poipu•4.7

- RroryvipLos Angeles •8 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFood was delicious! We have dined a lot at the Huntington Beach location so we wanted to try something new and different here. I had the coconut ginger braised seafood and I enjoyed it tremendously. My husband had the filet mignon with coconut shrimp and he said it was delicious. I loved the Dukes Mai Tai cocktail. We all enjoyed the Hula Pie and pretty much inhaled everything. Our waiter, Mark, was very attentive, answered all our questions and we appreciated all his suggestions. We will definitely come back the next time we are in KauaiMore infoDuke's KauaiPrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Lihue•4.6
- KKatherinevipPhoenix / Arizona •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe really enjoyed our evening at Keoki's Paradise. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Our server was attentive and the food was great. I had the seafood risotto which was cooked perfectly, and my husband had the prime rib which was also delicious. Our dining experience was topped with the unexpected bonus of live entertainment from the Tahitian dance performers (Tumoana) who perform every other week at the establishment. Would definitely recommend checking this place out....Save room for dessert!More infoKeoki's ParadisePrice: Moderate• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Poipu•4.6
