    From 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.

    Charlie was our server and did an excellent job. Three in our party have nut allergies and he and the staff were very attentive to that. The food was delicious…Ono as they say here. Several of us had the Blue Marlin. Very good!

    From the moment the valet took our vehicle, we were taken care of immediately and attentively, not only with their service but with their smiles as well. at every point of our evening here we were greeting with welcoming smiles. our seating hostess was quick and attentive and our waitress was top notch! She was so helpful with the menu and took care of our every need. From the drinks and appetizers to the dessert, every dish was not only delicious, but beautiful! This was a simple date night for my wife and I while on the island, but the service and quality of the staff, food, and atmosphere at Red Salt elevated this to a truly memorable experience!
