We were blown away by the ambience, and the amazing food that was served. It was the best meal we have had since being on Kauai for the last week. We decided to share the caprese salad, Firecracker Shrimp appetizer and the filet mignon. They were all so delicious and cooked to perfection! Can’t forget to mention the special Old Fashioneds. Best ever!!

We had a pleasant experience at the restaurant when we were warmly greeted by hostess Evelyn who sat us earlier than our reservation time. She was patient and informative about the other dinner events there. The food was good with affordable prices. We enjoyed the open-air atmosphere, and the entertainment. We’ll be back!

The new pre fixe menu was great. The fried chicken and the butterfish were both delicious. I hope they keep it up with rotating dishes. Another wonderful visit to Eating House.

Great service by very pleasant Cherine (sp?) She advised chicken Quesada and Potstickers and suggested that a salad would be too much. She was right on all counts. Cool, breezy, got table we wanted. Really cannot add anything but "we enjoyed."

We had drinks at the Sandbox bar the first night we stayed at 1 Hotel. The drinks were made perfecting we sat at the high top we had a great view of the sunset and the fire dancer that performed. Our server Zach from Nashville was very nice and accommodating he had good recommendations for drinks. The next day we sat on the beach at a cabana our server was Zach again he checked in on us frequently and worked hard throughout the day making sure all the guest were taken care of while he was training another server. We had seltzers and beers I also ordered fresh coconut water right out of the coconut. For dinner we ate at the Sandbox and Zach was our waiter I ordered the local fish with fresh asparagus and beans that were grown right on the premises and my husband ordered the pizza which they specialty made since it wasn’t on the menu. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Our server Zack was wonderful courteous and attentive.

We were there for lunch and the sandwich I had was awesome! The meat was tender and I loved their waffle fries. It was our anniversary and they provided a wonderful cheesecake for dessert! Will definitely return!!
