Thomas Schutzman
AMAZING experience at Tidepools! The atmosphere was top notch, service was excellent and the food was unbelievable! We’re BIG crab cake fans and started off with that as our appetizer – incredible!! BEST crab cakes we’d ever had and the sauce made it that much more!

Our favorite dinner while on the island was here! The atmosphere and staff were perfect in every way and had great recommendations on drinks and food! All the food was well worth traveling for and really made the night amazing. Eating over the koi pond and watching the fish swim through the moonlit waters was just the cherry on top.

Food was good. Had vegetarian forbidden rice with add-on scallops. The 3 scallops were good sized. The staff was excellent and the koi fish were the best dinner entertainment I’ve seen in a long time. They were so active and jumpy!

The restaurant sits on top of the water filled with koi fish. The walls are retractable to allow Olaha fresh breeze to enhance your experience. The ambiance was fancy without feeling fancy. You could arrive in a nice button-down or in shorts and flip-flops. GET ANY SEAFOOD DISH and you will not be disappointed. The quality and taste of the food is on an entire new level that cannot be matched by any resort. From the appetizers to desserts. If you’re staying at the Hyatt Grand Resort , have the concierge book your reservations because the online booking will often say booked for certain days . This is another must visit attraction while visiting Poipu. Mahalo

Incredible atmosphere! We got seated right next to the pool of koi fish and the tables were really nice. The whole place just feels special. We arrived 15 min early from our reservation and they seated us immediately. They give you bread rolls free and they are buttery delicious. Only 4 star is that the steak wasn’t the best one I’ve had. Still good but I guess I just had really high standards given the price!
