Eating House 1849 Koloa

Awesome menu and waitstaff, super convenient location. We had a nice view of the horizon since this restaurant is on the second level. The menu was amazing - Tons of variety of local dishes so it was fun to sample through everything family style. Our waiter was also incredibly knowledgeable, he set really helpful context for each dish and was quick to offer personal recommendations based on our interests. Family friendly but also good for a date night. Would love to come back!

My wife and I walked up at opening without a reservation and they were able to get us a table on a Wednesday evening. They could easily cram more tables in their space but we appreciated they chose spaciousness and vibe over maximizing seats. The service was prompt, attentive, and everyone from the hostess, water guy, to our amazing waiter Alfred were on their A game. Some of the most impressive staff/service anywhere, comprable to some Michelin rated places we’ve been to. The food was equally impressive. I had a seasonal 3 course prefix that I felt was a great deal for the price. Overall, highly recommend for a great atmosphere, service, and food. Make a reservation unlike us.

This was the best meal we had during our visit, and it potentially makes it to the top 5 of my life. The short ribs liquified in my mouth, the pineapple upside down cake was designed by a palate wizard, the pork and shrimp appetizer melted in our mouths. We had the most delicious drinks, and even the opener edamame was stunning. Our waiter, Dante (it's what is on the receipt, his name escapes my memory due to the beer flight, I'm sorry!) was knowledgeable, correct in every recommendation, and I only wish I had room for that other dessert! Thank you so much for taking the time and attention to make such a lovely night.

The butterfish main was the winner for us. Sweet corn /blue crab fritters were soft & corn bread like, not like a fritter at all! & the highly rated Brussels sprouts appetizer was a tad too salty for my liking. The lava cake was not worth the 20min wait.

Didn't get a photo of all of our dishes but EVERYTHING was amazing!! Our server was so sweet and attentive and had the cutest Paradise Now dress on. We dined on 9/26. The manager Appoli was the best!! So friendly and helpful. Very supportive to his team. Everyone there is super friendly. Will return for sure!!
