Eating House 1849 Koloa

"I love the concept of this restaurant - taking Hawaiian food to the next level with heavy Asian influences. We were delighted and impressed. The servers were professional and friendly and the location is superb. The ambiance is perfect. The pork and shrimp dumplings were the best ever. Crisp and soft at the same time with a delightful chili sauce that enhanced the juicy pork morsel inside. The Brussel sprouts and cauliflower were expertly prepared. The paella had a wonderful assortment of seafood again expertly prepared. I do think the sauce on the rice was a bit too heavy and overpowered the rice. The other diners had butterfish which was incredible and a tapas dish of steak. We’re foodies and we were all happily impressed and thrilled to experience this treat on our first night in Kauai. We had to pass on desserts because we were well satiated but hope to return for the pineapple cake. Five stars. Two thumbs up. Bravo! Loved it. Thank you!"

"This is a gem! Great open air restaurant. It sits up on a second story with a great view of ocean sunsets. Food is the best we’ve had on the island so far. It was awesome. We tried three or four different appetizers and they were all amazing. Most of us had the Butterfish or Ramen, both of which were fabulous. Highly recommend!"

"We were able to get a table within 25 min. The hostess was very kind and our server was awesome. Very relaxing atmosphere. They start everyone with a small plate of edemame. We ended up just sharing a few pupus and dessert. Everything was pleasant. We started with three sizzling wagu flank, followed by mongolian baby back ribs, shrimp and pork potstickers and we took shrimp to go. We had the upside down pineapple cake. We also got virgin tropical drinks. There is also ample parking at the shopping center. I would go again to this restaurant. Also, it is located above lululemon so there are stairs."

"Open air restaurant on second floor. Appetizers are pricey but worth it for the taste and experience. Full bar available. Menu has about 8 to 10 entree choices. Our party got steak, ribs, and paella. All were excellent. Service was also excellent."

"We made reservations here months in advance for my birthday dinner and we don't regret that decision. Every dish we had was amazing. We've never had a steak as juicy and delicious as the one we had here. Each piece just melted between your teeth. The ramen was delicious and so was the shrimp appetizer! BUT you cannot go to this restaurant without ordering a pineapple upside down cake for dessert. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE order one. You will regret it with every ounce of your soul. One of the best things I've ever had in my life!"
