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.

    Attentive service by all waiters. Delicious food! Exceptional setting with a waterfall and koi ponds nearly at your feet. A bit pricey, but I would certainly come back. We had crab cakes, scallops, and mahi-mahi. All superb!

    We were one of the first to arrive …. Seated in a “laneway” between cabanas … lots of traffic. -Baby was screaming … -Margarita tasted like it was the premade Costco mix -Somewhat dirty … needs a reno -Staff were nice but not professional in appearance -Scallops were warm and unevenly cooked… taste was good . Seemed like they were premade Given the above we decided to leave. Stephenson library is a much better option .

    Tidepools was phenomenal! We loved the romantic setting with the thatched-roof bungalows over koi-filled lagoons. The Dynamite Crab Cakes, Baby Lamb Chops, and Hamachi Sashimi were exceptional, and the Hawaiian Catch, perfectly prepared, was generous enough for two. The Tai Chi and Royal Hawaiian cocktails were delicious. Highly recommend!

    Nice dinner here with friendly service. Expensive. But that’s to be expected at a resort and in Hawaii. Decor was dated, food was very ‘tourist’ average. Nothing terrible, just not amazing. And we were seated next to a large family with 2 infants who screamed the entire dinner, so that was unpleasant. Not the restaurant’s fault…but still.

    Waiter was very attentive and informed about menu. Was very underwhelmed by food. Too much sauce, that wasn’t even tasty. A simple grilled fish would have been so much more satisfying.
