About Eating House 1849

Eating House 1849 Koloa is the Kauai outpost of chef Roy Yamaguchi — a founder of Hawaii Regional Cuisine alongside Peter Merriman in the 1980s — and is the village's most reliable mid-tier Hawaii regional dining. The plantation-themed concept references 1849, the year the Koloa sugar plantation opened (the first sugar plantation in Hawaii).

The cuisine is plantation-themed Hawaii Regional. Signatures include a Kauai-tuna poke bowl; a slow-cooked Kauai-pork belly; a wood-fired Kauai mahi-mahi; a Kauai-pasture beef tenderloin; a Yamaguchi-signature 'misoyaki butterfish'.

The wine list runs to 200 references with deep American-Pacific coverage.

The dining room and outdoor terrace together hold ninety-six covers.

Why It's Perfect for Team Dinner

Eating House 1849 is the team-dinner room on Kauai — the plantation-themed Hawaii Regional menu is shared-format, the Yamaguchi institutional pedigree is the conversation, and the kitchen runs at a friendly mid-tier register.
