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. Our philosophy at the Beach House is simple - take aloha, blend it with fresh and high-quality ingredients, and add an ocean view to deliver a handcrafted, Hawaiian experience. Executive Chef Marshall Blanchard makes the most of local ingredients by sourcing our fish directly from island fisherman and our beef from neighboring ranches. 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.

    Celebrated my birthday at Merrimans. Everything was just amazing. Our server, Jasmine, was the BEST. We had a fantastic table with a perfect view of the sunset. Their mai Tais are some of the best in Hawaii. We shared a delicious salad, had an order of the fabulous biscuits too. Hubby had the pork shank and I had the Ma Kai which was ahi. Their house made ice cream was yummy and the restaurant treated to some nice extras for my birthday. Thank you Merrimans for making my day so special!
