Its all through your phone. We checked in and only waited a few minutes. I of course had made reservations weeks ago. We got seated in a table with a fantastic view. However the walkway to the grass area was by our table so lots of people going by. No biggy. Our server introduced herself as Natalia who was very friendly and nice. I didn't see Remy Martin on the menu but I did see my favorite Rum. Ron Zacapa XO so I got that. The view was so wonderful and we came pretty early so not too crowded yet. We ordered the poke tostada as a starter. It was a special. It was just ok. I didn't think the poke was as fresh as what I had earlier at lunch. Especially for Hawaii. They brought us Focaccia bread and it was free hehe. The wife got the Macadamia Nut fish which was Swordfish today. It was wonderful and cooked perfectly. It tasted great I ordered the other special which was a red snapper. It came out and was over cooked and dry. I sent it back and they were going to re-do it. Natalia came out and said that maybe I could get the same as my wife but I told her that I liked that fish and hoped it turn out ok. Well it came out and was worse. I ordered the Filet Mignon. It came out amazing. I loved it. No fish for me. oh well they tried and Natalia was so nice about it. They even took off my entree. The service here is top notch. We took lots of pictures outside and the sunset was amazing. we ended our meal with the Basque Cheesecake . So yummy and a wonderful end to the meal. Such amazing staff and location.

For drinks we opted for their nonalcoholic drinks bc they sounded so good- lilikoi (which was delicious) and wave rider (which ended up tasting more like a cherry cola than ube). We each ordered a salad- I got the Mac nut and goat cheese and my husband got the smashed cucumber. I was hoping for more goat cheese with mine, and the dressing was light and refreshing. The cucumber one was a bit salty/umami flavoring. We opted to share the lobster and fish pasta which they plated the dish for 2 so we didn't have to ourselves. We really enjoyed the pasta flavor- the lobster was a good size, but I only had like a small piece of fish. They gave the mochi dessert for my birthday which was so good and not too sweet (also thankful they didn't sing or make a big scene lol). Our waiter was super nice and friendly.

Special shout out to our amazing waiter, Tyrus. I don't think I've ever had such a personable, kind, and engaging waiter. He was hilarious and so fun to talk to. He gave great recommendations on the island as well. Overall amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Tried out a new spot in Kauai…read more We were sat promptly. The service was good, clean restaurant. Server was very friendly. We ordered the spicy ramen and the butterfish and both dishes were excellent! The ramen had so many different layers of flavor and I now know why they call it "butterfish", very flavorful and rich for a white fish. The mushrooms were seasoned perfectly. Every bite curated to perfection.

Eating House 1849 might have been the most overrated restaurant we went to on Kauai. It's near the…read moreocean, the atmosphere is lively, and it has that vacation-dinner energy. Ironically, the butterfish ended up being one of the most memorable dishes of the trip and for all the wrong reasons. The misoyaki butterfish was so overwhelmingly fishy that we genuinely struggled to eat it. And I don't mean "this tastes like fish" fishy. I mean the kind of fishy where every bite makes you increasingly aware that perhaps you should stop taking bites. The short ribs were unbelievably fatty...easily the fattiest we've ever had. There was so much fat that after a few bites, we just couldn't stomach them anymore. So now we had two entrées in front of us, could barely eat either one, and were both disappointed and somehow still hungry. Which is how we ended up ordering the chocolate soufflé. Not because dinner had earned dessert, but because we still needed dinner. The soufflé was fine. Fairly basic, but at that point "edible" was a major improvement, so we happily ate it. We also ate at Red Salt on this trip and weren't particularly impressed there either, but Eating House 1849 was worse. At least Red Salt had good sushi. I genuinely don't understand the glowing reviews for Eating House. The location is great and the atmosphere is fun, but neither was enough to make up for how disappointing the food was.

It is definitely on the pricier side, especially for just two people, but honestly, it was completely worth it. Even though we were a little separated from the rest of the guests, the staff checked on us constantly, and our food and drinks came out in a timely manner. Our waiter was also so sweet and made the experience even more special. He offered to take pictures of us together throughout our time there, which I really appreciated. Everything we ordered was delicious. The ube rolls are still something me and my husband talk about to this day! You really can't go wrong with this restaurant. I mentioned that we were celebrating a special occasion, and they referred us to their bakery department for a cake. My husband loves carrot cake and cheesecake, so we decided to go with a carrot cake cheesecake, and WOWWWW. It was honestly one of the best carrot cake cheesecakes we've ever had! I had no idea how the cake was going to turn out since I'm not a local, had never eaten at this restaurant before, and had never been referred to their bakery/restaurant. I kind of went into it completely blind, but I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They seriously blew me away!

Wow it was strong and I loved it. Nice job Amanda. My wife got the fish and chips which were good. She got three pieces of fish. The fries were good , not too fried. I like them more crispy.

Mayan was our server and gave us a top-notch fine dining experience, while being warm, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout. Our courses were timed perfectly, our drinks were cold and our food was hot. We had the scallops with the pork belly and white bean purée and it was divine. Next we had a sushi roll that rivaled anything I've had on the island and even in Japan. My steak was cooked perfectly and the side of whipped potatoes we ordered was like eating a heavenly buttery cloud. The silky strawberry cheesecake was exquisite and we ended our meal with an affogato that was poured table side. Not to mention that they were offering a big discount to locals that whole week which was a lovely and generous surprise! Overall, our experience was amazing, we felt like they graciously welcomed us in, and the food was excellent.

They have a stand only counter space out front. It's a nice view of the street. I really like that they had a sink outside to wash your hand before and after eating.

It was pretty good. I had the best fish plate. I chose the spicy Aji and shrimp. I got it with the edamame and cucumbers. I really enjoyed the crunch and the freshness of the cucumbers. The only thing I would suggest is that the plates could use a little more rice.
