Sunset at Beachhouse

I know it can be a mad house at sunset but ya just have to do it if its your first time to Kauai.

My question is - I have booked a table for 6pm, what time will sunset be early July? I can change the reservation time if need be. Thanks for your help.

Sunset at Beachhouse

Sparkle,

Make your reservation for when they first open. And then arrive a few minutes early and have them seat you as soon as possible. You can request a front table at that time and you will be able to take your time and enjoy the sunset. Bring sun glasses! We forgot once and the waiter lent us a couple of pair. I agree, it%26#39;s fun if you have never done it before. We saw our very first green flash in December 1999 from the Beach House.

Hours:

serving dinner ~

5:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. ~ September 15 to March 31

6:00 p.m - 10:00 p.m. ~ April 1 to Sepember 14

So 6:00 p.m. is a perfect time for reservations. Show up about 10 minutes early to guarantee a front table.

Thanks for your replies, cant wait! 8 weeks to go!

I agree -- it%26#39;s an evening we%26#39;ll always remember.

Sunset will be around 7:15 ish in July...

Beach House?? We all make Choices...

Beach House is no longer my favorite place to dine. We have not been since 2006 when we had back to back bad service and OK food. But folks that have been there recently have posted good reviews. I prefer to sit on Baby%26#39;s Beach in Poipu with a glass of wine to watch the sunset.

BTW, the sunset will be over the land in July, not over the water. We love watching the sunset in Princeville in July.

We make reservations each summer, and they tell us when to come for sunset seating. Even thought 5:30 PM sounds very early to begin dinner, we accept that time because we want a front row table. There are always dozens of others who want those tables too, so the first group in gets them. Then they seat you back further in the restaurant as people arrive.

The sunset is lovely, even though it may be over land. The ocean is right in front of you and the orange and pink sky sprawls out forever in the water. It is truly beautiful.

Yes, people walk out on the grass, but everyone has a respect for the beauty unfolding in front of them. I love to offer to take photos of newlyweds or people celebrating a special occasion, so that they will both be in the photo using their cameras.

As far as a madhouse, the first seating has enjoyed their cocktails, salads and dinners and are usually on dessert and coffee by the time the sunset arrives, so your meal is not interrupted. At least that is our experience. Enjoy your experience.

As far as dinner, service, servers, and an all round wonderful dining experience we have had great sunset evenings at the beach house for over 15 years.

Early is good , as had been mentioned. We have time to visit with friends who work there, and one time the manager came over and sat down with us to talk story.

Even tho as residents we no longer get up and go outside to have our photos take, or swap cameras with others for their photos, it still feels good to our hearts to see others doing so.

I think we remember how we felt those many years ago, and to this day, enjoy seeing the glow and smiles and enjoyment of the visitors, out on the lawn, tiki torches, sunset and sharing.

Cannot stress how important going early is, and of course booking it early, even from the mainland before you head over.

At times it can be, or at one time was, nearly a two week wait for early reservations. we would book for the last night of our two week stays, and even now , living here, we call two weeks ahead.

Do we have other favorite places to have special dinners out, you betcha, lots of em, but the beach house has always been very special and still is, with not one unhappy experience , ever.

We also hope everyone will enjoy it as much as we have.

Our hearts, and tummys feel great there.

Much aloha

Denny
