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

Excellent views but the drinks were watery and the food was just ok (lacked flavour and portion sizes quite small).We paid over $150 US for this meal and left still a bit hungry ? wouldn't recommend.Note: This is within the Four Seasons and you have to go through their gate to get in, but you don't have to be a guest at the hotel to eat here. Parking is available and valet service is optional or you can self park.

Kid-friendliness: Doesn't seem like a place to bring kids under the age of 6-8.

Incredible views from a beachfront bar. Food was great and definitely worth hanging out for a while to take in the ocean.

The food was delicious. The server never brought our onion rings and nobody came to the table to ask how we’d like the check handled. But the unbeatable ocean views more than made up for any service oversight.

Must’ve gotten the non-member treatment. Arrived with two hungry kids and waited as at least 3 other tables of guests who arrived after us got served their entire meals before we even got our drinks and apps. Waited >45 mins for apps & drinks. This was at 30% capacity at best. Finally apps came and were underwhelming. Ceviche app was mediocre and kids’ meals are only the entree- pizza is just a pizza with no sides. Got my wife’s drink order wrong (she ordered an IPA and got a lager. It’s right on the ocean so you can’t beat the ambience, but I think the captive Ritchie Rich golf club members are the target customers. If you’re a non-member save your time and $ - you can get better food and save time and $ elsewhere.
