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.

    Beautiful view .. think we had the best seat in the restaurant. Service impeccable. Sadly , three of us ordered opah fish and it was fishy 😕. So expensive and just unexpected. The lava cake was heavenly .. but almost a 400 dollar meal that I wish I could take back .

    Fantastic setting, food was slightly below the expectation. Opah be cooked better, chowder was over salted. I recommend visiting the restaurant because the place is remarkable. As far as food, it’s good but not excellent.

    The food and service were fantastic! We got lucky and were seated at a table next to an opening with a view to the Koi fish, water, rocks, etc…Amazing experience all around.

    Amazing place. Food incredible. One of us had the salmon and the other had the tagliatelle with some shrimp and scallops. The vibe in an extraordinary setting is the icing on the cake!!

    Very dry fish and fried rice dish. Steak was overcooked a bit. Jalepeno crudo dish had no spice. Bummer for the high cost.
