About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Great for scenic views
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.

              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.

              Les was awesome. My daughter Viv gave him a good hard time and he was great… Food was very good. Our table was on the water and it was a great experience!

              They charged me and my partner a $15 fee for splitting our food. I have never experienced that before at the thousands of fine restaurants I’ve dined at.

              Excellent food and service. Wish we weren’t sat behind a construction wall (that was built one foot higher than it needed to be and blocked the views which were the whole point.)
