An Off-the-Beaten-Path Discovery
 The Sea House Restaurant at Napili Kai Beach Resort is one of those out-of-the-way discoveries that you talk about long after you’re back home. Located just steps away from the water on beautiful Napili Bay, this charming restaurant exudes tropical splendor, from the tiki torches that light up the bay to the Hawaiian music that fills the fragrant night air. This is a picture straight out of a postcard.
The comfortable dining area is open to the gentle breeze and creates a cozy atmosphere in which to enjoy the culinary delights of the Sea House’s award-winning Executive Chef, Craig Erickson.
A native of Chicago, Erickson has been working in restaurants since the age of 13 and has achieved the level of CEC (Certified Executive Chef) through the American Culinary Federation. Most recently, he held the position of Executive Chef at the Lahaina Store Grille & Oyster Bar on Front Street in Lahaina. Previously he was Executive Chef at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Lahaina; Corporate Executive Chef for 23 Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurants, with headquarters based in Las Vegas; Executive Kitchen Manager for three Rainforest Cafe restaurants, Las Vegas; and Chef de Cuisine for Bismarck Catering, overseeing culinary operations for Chicago Stadium and United Center in Chicago.
 Needless to say that dining at the Sea House is a special occasion in and of itself, but depending on which night you choose to dine, you will find a unique nightly special. Monday and Wednesday are Prime Rib nights, Tuesday and Friday are Alaskan King Crab nights, Saturday and Sunday are Surf & Turf nights, and on Thursday night the special is a Cold Water Lobster Tail, oven roasted to perfection and served with drawn butter.
The Sea House bar with its adjacent open-air terrace is the perfect place to spend the day or begin your evening. Enjoy their special pupu menu from 2:00-5:00pm with live Hawaiian music from 3:30-5:30pm. Kick back and enjoy delicious pupus and traditional to tropical libations as you watch the sun set in a blaze in the Pacific.
Besides enjoying a singular fine-dining experience, one of the most charming things about the Sea House is that it is one of those little “off-the-beaten-path” places you dream of finding. They are located just off Honoapiilani Road in Napili where you will find the signs for parking. Follow the paths that wind through the resort to the ocean and look for the flags.
Reservations for dinner are recommended. You must try their three-course Early-Bird Dinner offered from 5:30-6:00pm. This is also a great location for breakfast or lunch. (They are now open for breakfast at 7:00am so you can enjoy breakfast on the bay.) See if you don’t feel as I do, that this is a great “find.”
