   Favorite place to eat on Kauai! Everything is delicious, service is great, and you can’t beat the views, especially at sunset! It’s pricey but you get your money’s worth, more so than at some other nearby places. Make sure you get your reservation well in advance, they book up and there are no walk-ins.

   I was worried that the Eating House would be a tourist trap without good food to back it up, but I was wrong. Both the food and drinks were solid. Definitely recommend.

   The food was great as always. The service was good, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Due to labor shortages the menu has been scaled back quite a lot, so if you go, do not expect an extensive menu.

    Was the best meal I had on my entire trip!! Can't wait to come back on my next visit. I had the Butterfish and it was done to perfection. The Sashimi melted in my mouth, and my dessert the Chocolate Soufflé was delicious. Service was great, views are incredible. Highly recommend.

    After a rocky start (we were initially offered what had to be the worst table - outside of the dining room next to the hostess station- even though we arrived a few minutes early for a reservation made a month ago), we had a perfect meal served in a timely fashion by a pleasant, well informed (knew the menu!) waiter at a table one table away from open windows and beside the kitchen window. The latter provided entertaining view of the chefs without any of the noise! Everything we ordered was excellent: potstickers; melon salad; hot pots with butterfish (second time ordering - best dish on the island);chocolate soufflé; pineapple upside down cake. We’ll be back!

    Went to this restaurant two years ago and it was very memorable. This visit was not so much. Very limited menu due to being “short staffed”, but restaurant was certainly busy. I asked for view seating at restaurant opening (maybe two tables taken at that time), and I was given table overlooking the entrance (No view). I felt “unlistened”to. Not good.

    Very unfriendly to Vegans. Chef not very creative ordered Caesar got lettuce nothing added. Nearly same with salad spouse ordered. Bowls were good. Most quality restaurants can readily adapt dishes. Certainly a salad can be made vegan with more than just lettuce. Charged same price as if I got a salad with something in it. Very disappointing.

    We returned to 1849, after an excellent meal in 2018. The menu was a bit limited (due to COVID), the meals were good (especially the braised ribs). Nice atmosphere, like a large open porch, excellent service.

    Made reservations here months in advance, only to have them call a few hours before to say they were closing - leaving us with no other options on a very busy holiday weekend. Not impressed.

    Hostess was amateur. Took a while to seat us even though we were on time and there were empty tables. Menu was limited and Asian Fusion. My vegetarian spouse had trouble satisfying her diet, moreso than at other restaurants. My food was quite good.

    The food was on opposite extremes of the spectrum, where the Crispy Fried Cauliflower the selection was nowhere near what is on display online, and the prices were higher at the restroom ($21 for a bowl of ramen vs $30 at the restaurant). We felt that it was a bait and switch with the excellent ratings this place had, and like any con victims, all we could do was walk away feeling duped. I rarely write reviews, but felt this time I needed to do it. The service was lackluster as well, but everything doesn’t matter for me if the food is good, which in this dining experience it was not. Roy Yamaguchi, if you’re reading this, it’s time to fix this restaurant.

    Our server repeatedly came by until we placed our full dinner order then went MIA. We were asked if we would use the QR code and later found out it didn’t offer the full menu as featured on a hard copy. We inquired with the server about it after seeing the able adjacent to us being served the entree we actually came in for and thought was no longer offered. He laughed about it. In order to get a second drink we had to physically get up and go ask our server for it as he stood behind some server area chatting it up. Not the service we expected from a Roy’s establishment. We live here and both work in the service industry so our expectations are absolutely realistic and basic.

    Very limited menu in a restaurant with little atmosphere. Average to above average food priced high. I think Roy can do better. Or maybe they are just running on the fumes of their reputation now. They blame the pandemic however we have had plenty of amazing dinners in Kauai.Not the 5 star evening we expected nor that we experienced in other Roys restaurants in the past.

    Very eclectic restaurant with a unique menu. I ordered short ribs and they were terrific, but my husband ordered the ahi and he didn't like it as much. I think it is an acquired taste. The desserts were outstanding and our server and the busser were top knotch. I'd recommend if you are looking for something unique.

    Food good and host staff friendly and hustling. However, service once seated was not good. Server put in incorrect entree order so one entree came out and I was done eating before my spouse’s entree arrived. No acknowledgement of the error and additionally we felt rushed so they could turn the table. Enjoyed the food but can’t recommend when service is poor.

    So ONO!!! Soooo GOOD!!! We made reservations way in advance, didn't have any problems. It was so beautiful (open air, lots of views) and so delicious (potstickers, edamame, soba noodles with blackened ahi, hot pot with butterfish and chocolate souffle)!!! They seasoned the edamame with something that made them so tasty!!! The potstickers were to die for, I could eat them all day!!! My husband ordered the hot pot with butterfish and it was definitely tender and buttery!! I ordered the soba noodles, which was good too, but I wish I ordered the hot pot with butterfish. And of course, we had to get the chocolate souffle, great as always!!! The service was awesome!! Everyone was super friendly!! We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to our return!!!

    Potstickers were to die for, the rest of the food was not great. The space is a nice place to watch the sunset. The staff did the best they could, even though very short staffed. Perhaps if we ordered differently, we would have enjoyed the meal more.
