“ Recently stayed at four seasons and this is hands down the best restaurant on a property filled with great restaurants. It looks like a beach bar but don't be fooled, the food is outstanding. The pizza is top notch, steak and Kona lobster special was one of my best meals ever, and the poke is really good. My only regret is that I wasn't there long enough to try every item on the menu. Watching whales breaching from our table (multiple visits) was a great bonus. ”
“ The Four Seasons just seems to do it well, basically a beach bar here but the food got it done with fresh options and great service. Fish tacos! ”
“ This has a great view on the beach. It's small place so highly recommend reservations. You have to make them yourself the day before. My kids really liked the food and had a good selection for the entire family. There was a walk up bar too if you don't have reservations. Our waitress was helpful and offered me half portion since I wasn't super hungry. Thought that was super nice! ”
“ Residents Beach House offers more than just a meal; it delivers an unparalleled dining experience nestled right on the beach, where the ocean breeze and breathtaking views set the stage for what was truly an unforgettable evening. It is, without question, one of the finest restaurant ambiances I've encountered. Perfect for a romantic date night, the combination of stunning seaside vistas and candlelit warmth made the evening as visually captivating as it was gastronomically. To start the meal, we shared the Yellowfin Tuna Tataki, which was, quite simply, extraordinary. The quality of the fish was impeccable--fresh, delicate, and almost buttery in texture. The Tataki was served with a light soy-based sauce that provided just the right amount of umami, enhancing the natural flavors of the tuna without overpowering them. Each bite was a symphony of subtle flavors and textures, offering a perfect balance between the richness of the fish and the brightness of the accompanying garnishes. My girlfriend opted for the Blackened Chicken Rigatoni, a dish that was as bold in flavor as it was visually appealing. The rigatoni was cooked al dente, creating the ideal texture to complement the creamy sauce, which was rich yet perfectly balanced with a touch of spice from the blackened chicken. The chicken itself was seared to perfection--tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside, infused with a smoky, Cajun-inspired seasoning that paired beautifully with the rigatoni. The dish was a masterful blend of comfort and sophistication, showcasing the chef's ability to elevate a classic pasta dish. I opted for the 14oz Grilled Prime Ribeye, and while the steak itself was a masterclass in grilling, cooked medium-rare to perfection with a beautifully seared crust, the choice of accompaniment left me wanting more. The ribeye's tenderness and rich marbling deserved a side that matched its sophistication. While the French fries were well-executed, crisp and golden, they felt a bit out of place alongside such a premium cut of meat. A more refined side, perhaps roasted vegetables or a creamy potato dish, would have elevated the overall presentation and experience, bringing the dish to a more elevated level. We were so taken with the Brussel sprouts that we ordered not one but two servings. These sprouts were a revelation, crispy on the edges with a tender center and caramelized to perfection. The balance of slight bitterness from the sprouts and the sweet, smoky glaze they were tossed in was absolutely divine. Their texture and flavor were a perfect contrast to the richness of our mains, making them an absolute must-have for any visit. Residents Beach House combines culinary mastery with one of the most stunning beachside ambiances I've experienced. From the expertly cooked ribeye to the unforgettable brussel sprouts, the meal was spectacular from start to finish. Whether you're seeking a romantic date night destination or a place to indulge in top-tier cuisine, Residents Beach House is a must-visit. I will undoubtedly return to relive this incredible experience. P.S. thank you Michael for the lighting you provided for us to take a pictures haha. Truly blessed to have been served by an incredible waiter ”
“ OMG!!! I totally recommend this spot, great service, great food, amazing ambiance, fantastic view of beach & a fire dancer. 4.5 ”
“ The service was great! They really give you that vacation vibe and their relaxing energy really brings a comfort. The scallops were perfect. Sear great, pineapple wasn't too overwhelming, and the sauce paired so very well. Strawberry Shortcake was a lot of "cake" (more like a biscuit) but the handcrafted strawberry ice cream was refreshing and sat well. The Java Tini was my favorite as I had been searching for an espresso martini. It was a wonderful place to relax at the end of our trip and really take the view in. ”
“ Great views, food and service. Made reservations for a Sunday night at 5:30pm. Sun was a little intense, so we asked to be seated under the umbrellas. Great views of the ocean and sunset. Menu is small, but has great choices. They also had off-menu specials for the day. Grilled salmon was delicious. Cooked perfectly and the crust was tasty. Mango salad was really big. My wife just ate that as her main meal and ate some of my salmon. Mud pie was a great dessert. Yummy, strong chocolate flavors. Great service by Darriene. Super friendly and attentive. ”
