I have a reservation for "open facing counter seating in the bar" at the BeachHouse. Can kids sit in this area? The other open is "Standard seating" but this doesn't specify is it is ocean facing. We would like to see the sunset. Thanks in advance.
The BeachHouse in Kauai is a popular spot for its ocean views and sunset dining. Regarding your reservation for "open facing counter seating in the bar," this area is generally designed for bar service, and most restaurants allow children there, but some bars have policies restricting minors at certain hours. At The BeachHouse, families with kids are typically accommodated in this area, especially for early dinner reservations, but it’s best to confirm directly with the restaurant to avoid any issues.
Regarding "Standard seating," this usually refers to the regular table seating, which may or may not be ocean-facing depending on availability. To maximize your chances of a sunset view, you could request a window or ocean-side table when you arrive, or ask the host at check-in if a standard table can be positioned near the windows.

In summary, kids are usually allowed in the bar seating at The BeachHouse, but confirming with the restaurant is recommended. Standard seating may or may not be ocean-facing, so asking for an ocean view when you arrive or at check-in is the safest way to ensure you see the sunset.
