12 Best Seafood Restaurants in Koloa

“Why 5 stars?
Because our server, Joy made the whole dining experience enjoyable. She's been here more than 20 years and still had a smile for us every time she visited the table, which was just often enough but not too often.
Because Jaime (and his trainee) did a great job with all the little things like water and clearing dishes.
Because the food was absolutely delicious. The coconut scallops were cooked to perfection, the lamb chops tender, juicy and very nicely seasoned. The Hawaiian seafood platter was perfect and the mahi mahi was also delicious. We topped it off with the molten chocolate lava cake with ice cream.
The host also did a great job, seating us at our reserved time.
Everything was flawless, bravo Tidepools, it's hard to orchestrate everything so well, but you did it.
Did I mention Joy? What a delightful person.
Finally, the restaurant is beautiful with views of the ocean, koi pools all around with lots of colorful fish, open to the outside (but fully indoors too!), easy to get around and enough distance between tables to have a peaceful conversation.“

“This place was great! Go for their happy hour drinks, and stay for their happy hour food deals. Just remember to bring earplugs if there's a big game on that night. People were losing their minds over some college football something fierce!“

“I don’t get everyone’s poor ratings of this place! We love this place. Went Three times while on our trip the price is average for Hawaii. The service was great and the food is great! We tried one other shrimp place and it was more expensive for less food. Highly recommend the garlic, shrimp, tacos, coconut, shrimp, and Bahia.“
