The most romantic setting on Kauai. For the ultimate in ambiance, delectable food and stellar service, Tidepools is the place. This quintessential Hawaiian setting has a backdrop of waterfalls with thatched roof bungalows that seemingly float above koi-filled lagoons. Savor modern island-style cuisine in this distinctive open-air setting. Diners rave about the exceptional service and fresh fish and steak options with a unique island flair including macadamia nut crusted fish, grilled ahi or a succulent steak. Salads feature greens grown at our hydroponic farm on site and the desserts are luscious. Don't miss this delightful experience.

Beautiful setting. Our server ruched the whole process. Offers gf bread and never brought it. He brought the wrong wine that we asked to sample. The food was not up to par with flavor. The only part of the experience that made it worry the $$$ was the setting.

The food was amazing, chili pepper chicken was delicious. Margarita was spicy and delightful. The ambience cannot be neat with koi swimming beneath your feet. Our server Juan was extremely attentive and an absolute pleasure to dine with. We will be back. A must if you are on the island.

Celebrated with a nice dinner our last night in Kauai after getting married on the island. The view from the restaurant and overall ambiance were awesome. There was a wedding going on so it was somewhat a mix of quiet and a live band from our table. We noted on our reservation that we were celebrating a special occasion but nothing was mentioned during our dinner. The ceasar salad was good but literally was only 3-4 bites for $19, which was a shame. Food was overall pretty good but not necessarily worth the price.

My husband and I were above and beyond satisfied with our dinner and service here. Rob and Iverson were some personable and attentive. We started with the kalbi ribs that were amazing. I had the Hawaiin Catch and my husband had the Rob eye with added Lobster tail. Far exceeded our expectations! Complimentary taro bread melted in your mouth! Ended with the malasadas to go since we were so full from dinner. OMG! They were amazing especially with the passion fruit syrup! Can’t wait to make it back here and eat at Tidepools again. Top notch experience!

Our server Ron was amazing and took time to explain the food and his recommendations. Food was great as was the other staff we encountered. The night before we had an awful experience at Stevensons (also on Hyatt property), so we were very happy and impressed when Tidepools exceeded expectations. We wish we’d done Tidepools twice instead!

Food and service were excellent. Every table seemed to have a great view of something with tabled spaced nicely to not be too closely seated to the next table. Only complaint was that I copied the address into Google for driving. Google Maps took us to a secondary service type road rather than the main entrance. No signs for the restaurant were seen until asking the valet and hom directing us to the walkway.

A really nice place for a dinner. Unfortunately we booked for 08.30 p.m. - obviously too late. After one hour we were not really welcome anymore. The crew startet to close the platform-windows, moved around, put the bill on the table before asking for dessert ….. The menue offers a good range of choice. Also the wine list offers a real choice. Cooking was average, the hot dishes were almost cold served. The environment is stylish - food is average.

We enjoyed our anniversary dinner here. I requested a table near the lagoon and we were fortunate to get one looking right among the koi. Beautiful ambience. Service was great. Very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious. We had the Hawaiian plate and Filet with Creme brûlée and Lava Cake for dessert. Wonderful experience.

We chose Tidepools Restaurant for our 20th anniversary dinner with our 2 adult children. We had dinner at Tidepools 20 years ago, and it was an amazing experience. Thank you for an encore performance that was at least the equal to the first time. We all loved it. The setting, ambience, food, wine, and drinks were 5 star. Thank you for a special night.

The food was good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was what makes this special. In terms of restaurants in Kauai this is certainly among the best but certainly better steakhouses back on the mainland.
