I have been returning to this restaurant for over 10 years. We always arrive by 5:45 to have a front spot, bring a hat to help before the sun sets. I have eaten my way around the world, and this is always one of my favorite magical meal experiences!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Experience! Dining at Brown’s Beach House was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. The sunset views were nothing short of breathtaking — the perfect backdrop for a romantic and unforgettable evening. The food was delicious and beautifully presented — definitely on the higher-end in terms of price, but absolutely worth it for the quality and overall experience. Every bite felt like a treat, from the fresh local ingredients to the expertly crafted flavors. The service was top-notch — warm, attentive, and thoughtful without being intrusive. The staff truly made us feel welcome and taken care of. If you’re looking for a special night out with incredible food, outstanding service, and an unbeatable view, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Brown’s was amazing. The setting near the ocean, tiki torches burning, a slight breeze, and great food and service made for a memorable experience. Water glasses were never empty and the Ube Bread (sweet potatoes rolls) were very tasty with the orchid honey butter.

Lobster soup and Scallops appetizer were very good. Good wine selection and red was served slightly chilled. Plan to go back during our stay at the Fairmont.
