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.

    Appetizers (ribs, scallops and an odd vegetable medallion dish) were fine. Vegetable medallions were served in undercooked zucchini rings. Mains had disappointing elements - the two filet mignons ordered were significantly undercooked and the fries with the ribeye ordered were completely undercooked and left largely uneaten. Overall, expensive and under delivered. Server started strong but became ambivalent. Busser was fantastic. Above and beyond.

    The food & beverage menu was fantastic. Our server, Les was informative, attentive & had a great vibe about him. The secondary table serve was also great. The cocktails & mocktails were innovative & fun. We had 4 starters & two mains for 3 of us. We took some food home. The view from the table on the pond was awesome.

    Service and food presentation were good. But, the food was cold when served. I expect, for the prices, the food should be served hot.

    Enjoyed the setting among the koi pond, waterfall and shrubbery. Tables are set far apart so there is more quiet and privacy. Had the coconut crusted scallop in a light sauce for an app which was quite tasty, a mixed salad and surprisingly, ordered the pork chop over all the fish options and really liked it. Delicious sauce. The drinks were a generous pour which I appreciated and fairly priced. The meals run in the higher priced side, like $61 l, but this Hawaii and everything runs higher than what you would think.

    Enjoyed our meal very much. Great food for sure. We were end of the night (8:30p reservation) and they were clearly looking forward to the end of the shift, so everything was out super quick. It wasn't rushed, but I wish it had been a tick more leisurely. Would definitely do it again sometime though!
