Tidepools Reviews
Tide Pools has a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The surf and turf was absolutely delicious; best on the island with amazing flavor. My only issue was the seating; we ended up in a less appealing spot despite the place not being busy. The portions are a bit small for the price, but the great taste made up for it. Overall, a fantastic meal with a minor seating quirk.
Atmosphere and food were both unbelievable. Our server was great (a little long winded and even though fine dining should never be rushed, he was almost too laid back/slow. However I still highly recommend and would def go back myself next time i visit Kauai
Great place to eat! The staff was amazing! They really helped us celebrate our honeymoon! I believe our server was Kearyn (?) and he was phenomenal. Not only recommended wonderful food on the menu but some local places to eat as well.

Servers have received praise for their attentiveness and kindness, making for a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant’s design is truly unique and adds to the overall atmosphere. Guests often enjoy dishes like the Hawaiian catch, ribeye steak, and Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi, which is a favorite. While some minor issues have been noted, such as a tough Opah or an underdone salmon, most entrees are beautifully presented and fresh. The staff, including attentive servers like Juan, go out of their way to ensure a positive visit, sometimes working with management to resolve any issues. Tidepools is a special place for any occasion and is highly recommended for a memorable dinner in Poipu. Although it doesn't have sunset views, the ambiance and quality of food make it a must-visit.
