Very disappointing. Really only one salad and a steak was gf. Had really hoped for a seafood dish but with all the substitutions ( no Mac nut crust, no sauce) there wasn’t much left. Went with salad and a side of shrimp( 3 prawns). It was good but nothing special. View is great. Ate here years ago and had a fantastic meal. I won’t waste our $ anytime soon again.

Great food, waitress said they have a separate chef who deals with the gluten free food for those who have celiac. Meal was very safe and she walked through options they can make gf but were not listed on the menu. Right on the beach for sunset!

Outstanding dinner and incredibly celiac aware. Most dinners can be made GF. We had a party of 8 including a 9 month old. Everything went smoothly. Every dinner selection was wonderful. Service excellent. One of the most enjoyable family dinners (round table with view of sunset) ever in Hawaii.

The setting is lovely, our server Nelson was conscious and considerate of gluten allergies.

Unfortunately the food is mediocre and there were not a lot of choices.

Delicious! Multiple items labeled GF on the menu. My server Nate was excellent walking me through the menu as well. I got the filet for dinner and the chocolate tart for dessert. Highly recommend! I made a reservation a few weeks in advance so we would be there during sunset.

Tested deviled eggs with nima sensor and was positive for gluten when it was labeled gluten free. My steak was negative. I had mild symptoms after eating here, probably cross contamination issues.

Delicious! We made a reservation early in the day. There were not a lot of openings, so I recommend making reservations sooner than we did. The waiter was knowledgeable. The flourless chocolate cake was AMAZING! We normally do not save room for dessert, but I'm so glad we did. Overall, a very nice experience. Also, they have a beautiful lawn area by the ocean with an amazing place for a drink and watch the sunset!

Excellent. I put in the reservation notes that we had a celiac person in the group - our waitress introduced herself, went over the menu highlights and then asked who had celiac. She spoke directly to my daughter and told her all the options she could have - from fish to steak to the salads. And the flourless chocolate tart was amazing! Highly recommend.

Have been here many times before over the years and they typically had many GF options or menu items that could be made GF. Was there yesterday Dec 5, 2022 - GF options were severely limited for some unknown reason. One feature appetizer and two of three salad choices and one main (steak) was all that was available as GF. None of the regular appetizers or fish main meals could be made GF as they were all pre prepared. Had the watermelon salad and feature appetizer prawns. Both were delicious! Would have been nice to have one of the main fish meals tho. Was disappointed by that this trip.

This place is pretty accommodating. Our waiter heard that I had Celiacs and then made sure I had a menu tour of what could be changed, I ended up getting the ono with lemon bur blanc and it was on point along with those Monkeypod Mai Tais and deviled eggs. The chef here is celiac so I felt really safe in the hands of this kitchen.

Safe place- did not get sick but they make NO effort for their gluten free customers. You need to order your fish without sauce. All the sauces are made with soy & wheat. Your fish arrives dry & the menu just lacks any special touches when you’re going gluten free. There have been so many places around Kauai with better food. The rice, mashed potatoes and vegetables are made without gluten or exposure to gluten. We spent over 300 dollars for a family of four and I felt like I had ate at home. Nothing special the way of food- it wouldn’t kill them to use gluten free soy sauce or provide gf bread at the table. Just a disappointing dinner. Saving grace- the view is wonderful if you can get a table facing outside at sunset.

I am honestly not sure why this place has such good reviews on here. Only about 3 items were marked GF on the menu, only 1 an entree. They were able to make the fish GF by alteration but that meant it had no seasoning so it was just bland grilled fish. For $48 an entree that was disappointing.

Had a safe meal. Our server was excellent. You could tell he was a real professional. When I identified myself as celiac he said that the chef was celiac as well which was great news. I had the lobster deviled eggs, Cesar salad and asked them to modify one of the fish dishes to be GF. The eggs were amazing. The Cesar salad was good. The fish was good. A little bland but safe. Try to come here at sunset as they have a beautiful view of the ocean facing west.

I wouldn’t say the service staff instilled much confidence in me, but I did get a good, gluten-free meal here. The server wasn’t overly knowledgeable, but did say he told the kitchen I was celiac and was assured my entree would be gluten free. Gluten-free entrees were clearly marked on the menu, and I’ve been fine since our meal. I had the pork loin and shared a lobster tail with my husband, who is not GF, and he had the seafood linguine. We were both pleased with the food!

The restaurant is in a really pretty spot near the water and is a great spot to watch the sunset or just listen to the waves!

Excellent meal but only 4* for gluten freedom - no gf bread before meal and only gf dessert option was sorbet which imho doesn’t really count (went to Lappert’s for ice-cream instead). Gf meal options are clearly marked, though our server had limited gf knowledge beyond the menu.

Delicious food, great views and very gluten friendly. There’s a few specific GF menu items, but they are willing to work to adjust other dishes as well. My server happened to be a celiac and assured me the kitchen has a separate preparation area for GF dishes. She also gave me hand written list of her favorite Places to get GF food around the island including bakeries and spots with desserts! I will definitely come back to the beach house on every visit to this island

I ordered off the gf menu, but then when I double checked after my food was brought, they had to switch my sauce. They didn't switch everything though, as I am now sick. Also, the food is mediocre at best, and the service leaves much to be desired. We won't be back.

The food is good, and the views are spectacular. The gluten free menu has items from the dinner menu, but not the lunch menu, so it wasn't much use since I was there at lunch time. The waiter was helpful and verified with the kitchen that the fish tacos were gluten free. I think there must have been some cross contamination, since I had a mild reaction a few hours later.
