Absolutely gorgeous spot to dine at, located inside the four seasons resort. All dishes were super fresh and delicious, some of the best on the island (as expected from four seasons). The staff are very professional and courteous and quick to notice if you need anything at all. Their dessert offerings were also quite delicious, so tempting and good in fact that I forgot to take a picture of the dessert before digging in. Come enjoy the great food and views at this “casual” dining establishment. Their fresh catch of the day was amazing.

Great place to visit and enjoy some views. Ordered the Cuban and it didn’t disappoint, the order of parmigiana fries could’ve been a little better but overall the food was great. The service was great, the waiter was very attentive and helpful in recommendations. Be sure to make a recommendation based on what I was told if you don’t live in the area you are unable to walk in for a table so a reservation was needed. Overall enjoyed the restaurant and good, highly recommend this place.

It's a restaurant within the Four Seasons hotel - I'd therefore expected something a little swanky. It was just wooden tables by the beach. The menu wasn't extensive, relatively overpriced for what it was and the cocktails were off menu and the one we ordered was disgusting and we couldn't drink it.
It's really hard to find from the self parking lot (which is mostly full and the majority of spaces were for valet parking. We got sent in the wrong direction by 3 different hotel employees so that was a good start! There was no signage so also got lost on the way back to the car.
Only the servers were polite and happy but overall I wouldn't return and wouldn't recommend.

We had an amazing time at Residents Beach House on Big Island, HI! We enjoyed lunch here several times this week, and each meal was absolutely fantastic.

Some of our favorite dishes included the mahi mahi tacos and sandwich, as well as the catch of the day, which was always fresh and flavorful. The Caesar salad was another highlight, and the kids' menu had plenty of great options that our little ones loved.

To top it all off, we indulged in every dessert on the menu, and they did not disappoint! Each one was a delightful treat.

I highly recommend Residents Beach House for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful dining experience. Five stars without a doubt!

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.
