The food was very good here. The server knew us by name after only meeting us once which was really impressive. Overall, I would say that this restaurant was one of our favorites. Set up over a large pond in the style of a Polynesian bungalow, this restaurant was largely about the atmosphere. The food was delicious although I think... more

My husband and I eloped and got married on the beach in Kauai. We decided to have our "reception" dinner at Tidepools. It is a beautiful restaurant and we were seated right by the waterfall. There was a more private table...often given to bridal couples...it is off by itself extended over the water...a couple staying at the resort had also... more

We had 6:00 reservations, which was nice because we could see the beautiful grounds before it got dark. We had a seat next to the water and near the waterfall, which was lovely. We both had the fish special of the day (I forget what fish; we had so many different kinds!). It was divine--the sauce was excellent--not too much,... more

Tidepools at the Hyatt Regency is not only visiually stunning but the food is delicious as well. The fish was fresh and the service was great. That restaurant embodies everything wonderful about the islands...beautiful surroundings, amazing cuisine and wonderful people. This restaurant is a must! more

We went to Tidepools again this August as we had such a good meal there last year. We were not disappointed. While the restaurant is expensive our experience has been that the food is fantastic - crab cakes are wonderful, crab bisque was lovely, steak was to die for. The service was good and we had a waterside table. Our... more

We are here one night while staying at the Grand Hyatt and were very disappointed. We both had to send our food back. My wife ordered prime rib rare and it was overcooked and inedible. We sent it back and they brought us a more rare cut that was slightly better, I ordered some local fish that was horrible, dry... more

My wife and I ate here, once, a couple of years ago. We enjoyed the food and appreciated the detail given to creation of the restaurant environment. The food was above average, but did not seem to justify the total price (even by Hawaii standards). The service was also good-accurate and professional. We've been back to Kauai' five times, but... more

We ate here our first night in Kauai and were expecting great things. Unfortunately, not such a great experience. The food was fine, but not extraordinary. Yes, the koi pond was cool, but that was about it. The waiter seemed like he didn't care less about our dining experience. We had a full meal, appetizer (the lobster bisque which was... more

We ate here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was perfect. The food was amazing - I had the prime rib and my husband had crusted ahi. Both were cooked to perfection. We also had the crab cakes which were the best I have ever tasted. Our waiter was wonderful and shared his views and stories of being a... more
