The food was excellent. We started off with the crab cake appetizer. Unfortunately, you only receive two crab cakes. It was very pricey for such a small amount. But we still had the rest of our dinner to look forward to. I ordered the seared ahi, and it was cooked perfectly. It came with mashed potatoes and spinach (I think). It was more than enough food.

While dining, I suddenly looked around the dining room and noticed most of the tables were empty. Everyone was out looking at the sunset and having their pictures taken by the waiters! It was an amazing sunset and our waiter came over to our table and asked if we wanted our picture taken. I thought that was definitely above the call of duty. There is normally a professional photographer that will take your picture at sunset for a price, but he wasn't there that night. The sunset/ocean views from this restaurant and great food truly made it a special evening.

The decor of the Beach House is frankly a bit generic, kind of like a mid-range hotel restaurant -- pretty, but bland. The food is good -- I had the famous macadamia-crusted mahimahi, which was fabulous, and the cocktails of the very-colorful-multi-layered-little-paper-umbrella variety. Our waiter was sweet and attentive, and helpful with suggestions on where to go out for a drink and some live music later that night.

All in all, worth a splurge on a special night . . . but very touristy and not at all off the beaten path!
