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.

              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.)

              We have dined here several times in the past. I was seeing some not great reviews in recent history but decided to give it a try anyway. The service was great and the poke was fantastic. My swordfish was slightly overcooked but the scallops were perfect. Strakes to the table were well flavored.

              Lobster was not fully cooked and fish was very dry and overcooked. I could not chew the Lobster. Will not be eating there again. Way over priced for what you get
