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 Hawaiian Pacific Rim cuisine in a distinctive open-air environment, where the flavors of the islands come to life. Tidepools is celebrated for its fresh, island-inspired dishes—like macadamia nut crusted fish, grilled ahi, and succulent steaks—crafted with the finest local ingredients. Crisp salads feature greens grown in our on-site hydroponic garden, and the decadent desserts are not to be missed.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply soaking in the serenity, Tidepools promises an unforgettable dining experience that captures the spirit and beauty of Kauai.

    Our server Gary was exceptional, patient, attentive, very helpful with food selection and made the dinner a wonderful experience. The lobster in my seafood dish tasted very salty and he was so thoughtful he removed it from our bill. Then he supplied not 1 but 2 birthday desserts for the table. All in all a very nice experience!

    We had a fabulous anniversary dinner at Tidepools. The atmosphere was romantic. We ordered 3 apps, 2 entrees, and dessert and everything was delicious. Our waiter was hilarious and kind. Food came out quick and fresh. The flavors were amazing and paired so well. Couldn’t have picked a better place on the island.

    Wanted to like it, everything’s very dated. Food was blah, somehow one of the shrimp on a dish we ordered was raw. Server was super nice. So many better options in the area.

    Food was delicious, but restaurant was very busy and we felt a little rushed. They were out of 3 different bottles of wine that we tried to order, and by the time we received wine we were halfway through our meal.
