Best meal we’ve had on our 3 week trip! Would eat here everyday if we could. Staff very friendly and accommodating!

Amazing!!! This was our favorite food, setting we have yet to experience!

Perfect location for special occasion!

Les, our server, was outstanding. We’ve never had better service. Food, ambiance and setting is 1st class.
Bravo!!

Tidepools was amazing from the food to the service and the atmosphere! Such a wonderful dining experience!

Tidepools was outstanding! The Macadamia Encrusted Mahi Mahi was divine, I would definitely order it again. We will be back!

Good selection of wine and food. Beautiful venue

Bite-for-bite one of the best meals I’ve had. Exceptional service. Go before sunset to enjoy a stunning view.

food and service were great, atmosphere was very nice, cocktails were tasty, nice wine selection, however menu, especially on Thanksgiving Day, was very limited.

Food was outstanding. Ambiance was amazing. Service was fantastic. This is a restaurant that should not be missed when in Kauai.

The walk to the restaurant was enchanting with tiki torches and the ambiance continued at our waterfront table. Food was unbeatable! We had a seafood platter with lobster, ahi tuna, scallop, shrimp. Others had steaks that melted in your mouth. All were cooked to perfection. Would definitely go again when visiting!

We had a late reservation and the staff seemed anxious to get
Us in and out quickly. Ordered one round of drinks and were never offered a second round. Water was never refilled. Food was below average. For $45-$47 an entree that is not acceptable. We have been to Tide pools in the past and felt it was a special experience. Service and food were lacking. For the price - our bill was almost $800 I expected more.

Tidepools is a must if vacationing in Kauai! The ambiance is beautiful and very romantic. The staff were all very professional and friendly. The food was fantastic! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and they brought out a delicious dessert to help us celebrate. Everything was excellent. HIGHLY recommend the macadamia crusted mahi mahi.

Tidepools was fabulous. The service was fast, their taro buns are delicious. We had three different fish dishes at our table, and they were all wonderful. They made accommodations for menu changes for my picky eater child. It was a beautiful restaurant, and the staff were friendly and quick with service.
The only bad part was the loud tables around us that had kids running around and being messy. No fault of the restaurant though, just the parents getting drunk not paying attention because they are "on vacation". Bad parenting isn't a reason to not go back or not recommend. I did make reservations months before and would have preferred a better table not in the back by the dark waterfall, but it felt like we were getting seated around other family groups because we had kids as well. Difference is my kids know how to behave at restaurants...or they don't get to go to them anymore.

A little too noisy.

Had a wonderful dinner! Excellent recommendations.

We were treated to a relaxing meal where the usual turnover rush at restaurants was a non issue. Derrick was one of the best waiters we have ever had, anywhere. Cordial, polite and knowledgeable. Perfection all around. Thanks to everyone!

Luke Stelmach and “Mark” our server made our 42nd Anniversary VERY special! Would highly recommend this place for their outstanding food and service anytime!!

We enjoyed a quiet late night dinner at Tidepools. The ambiance was quiet and serene next to the fish ponds. Our waiter was professional, efficient, and friendly. We got both of their vegetarian dinner options (tofu pad Thai and forbidden rice), and they were both flavorful not to mention much more reasonably priced than the rest of the menu. I’m sure their fish dishes are fantastic. I do recommend giving this place a try!

Tidepools was highly recommended so we were very excited to try it. The atmosphere, the food and the wine did not disappoint in any way! Our meals were incredible and I would highly recommend the Opah and the scallop starter.
We did get sort of forgotten by our server by the end of the night, but he made up for it by covering our dessert. The only downside was finding it...we ended up in the depths of the hotel playing Where's Waldo to get to the restaurant. (Maybe updated signage would help:)

Great food! Amazing views! Highly recommended! Thanks to Derek for such great service.

Absolutely amazing!! From the fantastic service to the the outstanding food, this place was the best we’ve had on the island hands down. The portion sizes are big and you definitely get your money’s worth. Definitely recommend!!!!

Juan was our server and was very attentive, courteous, and knowledgeable. The entire staff was very friendly. Live the ambiance. The koi were great entertainment.

Amazing food and service!! Must haves are the polenta crusted scallops 10/10 hamachi sashimi 10/10! The New York steak was soooo tender and juicy and the chicken piccata with risotto was sooo good! One of my new favorite spots. Will definitely be back!

Our service was great here. Entrees were absolutely delicious. We got the Hawaiian Catch and the Opah. The polenta crusted scallops appetizer was okay. We had a late reservation after the sun had gone down and the lighting in the restaurant was way too high and killed the ambience completely. We don’t regret our meal here but probably wouldn’t do it again.

Our server was so wonderful and fun.

Please ask your bartenders to learn how to make a French 75 or 76! We were shocked they did not know the recipe.

Fabulous food and atmosphere! Went there several times for dinner and had delicious macadamia crusted fish and pad Thai. Both were simply fabulous! Darling atmosphere

The walk is really long from valet parking - luckily they got us wheelchair assistance to go back to valet parking - just be aware if anyone in party is mobility challenged

One of our best meals while in Hawaii. Ron did a fabulous job making us feel at home. Good humor! Beautiful location! Stunning grounds. Who would not want to eat next to a Koi Pond.

Our waiter was outstanding!! Personable, funny, and engaging! Gave us great recommendations for dinner options! The Polenta Crusted Scallops were OVER THE TOP AMAZING!!

Great setting. Service okay and food not exceptional for the price. I would not go back except for the ambience

Service was great! We celebrated our 21 year anniversary and they made very special. From out ahi poke appetizer to the Hawaiian Catch to a very special dessert, pine-apple upside down cake was all delicious. I would definitely recommend the Tidepools at the Grand Hyatt.

This is not the romantic dinner venue the pictures suggest. It was so loud my husband and I gave up trying to have a conversation. Ironic that 3 of the 4 items on the “Hawaiin catch” dinner were not from the island. , makes no sense. The service was attentive.

New favorite spot in Kaua’i. Best steak and lobster tail I have had on the island.

Beautiful location, food was excellent. Strong drinks.

Beautiful setting. Outstanding & extremely knowledgeable server about both food and suggested wine paring. It was a birthday celebration and they allowed us to bring in a gift bottle of champagne ( small corkage fee). All around a great evening. Highly recommended. Plus the Grand Hyatt Kauai is absolutely beautiful.

Tidepools was a great honeymoon dinner spot. The waterfalls and pools around and through the restaurant were a cool effect, and the seafood “grilled and chilled” platter was incredible.

Tidepools is a magical place. Dinner was excellent, but what really made the night was our server, Les. He has to be the very best server we have had in all of our travels. If you are in Waikiki, go to Hula Grill and ask for his son, Luke. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

Absolutely fabulous experience! 2nd time during our trip. Exceptional food and service. Made our anniversary special!

Beautiful table, beautiful server, beautiful food. Loved it!
