Best Meal of Our Trip

Best Meal of Our Trip

This restaurant is at the Hyatt hotel on the southern part of the island. We actually stayed next door at another hotel, until we ate at Tidepools. It was so romantic and the food was amazing. I was a vegetarian for 6 years before I ate a bite of my husband's Fillet Mignon at this restaurant. It was so quiet and each table had it's own little hut on top of the water with a (thick) straw roof. Really pretty lighting and fish all around underneath you.
One of the best restaurant experiences of my life!

Tidepools
Located at the Hyatt, this restaurant sits over a very large Koi pond. Most tables are along the water so you can watch the Koi fish swim around when you eat. The food was. . . . good. . . . It wasn’t bad. Was it worth the hype of going to THE restaurant to go to at the Hyatt. I think I could have done without going. I don’t’ regret going. I don’t’ think I’ll go back. Something we did once and it was a romantic dinner with my husband. Please understand that its not that it wasn’t a good meal. The customer service was very good. What I think you are paying for is the experience. Make sure you get a table by the water because I think that’s really the most unique part of the experience. I would put it down lower on my priority list. To place it in the right context, we went to Michael Mina’s the weekend before in San Francisco and had one of the most amazing food/restaurant experiences in my life. So its just not fair to compare. The prices are very high as to be expected and of course their specialty is their seafood.

Tidepools is in the Hyatt hotel in Poipu. Beautiful, fancy restaurant, very romantic atmosphere. The menu is fabulous, and the service is terrific. On weekends, you can hear the luau show, slightly muted. It all enhances the atmosphere. If Keoki's is borderline tacky, then Tidepools is the other end of the tropical decor ruler. Their house special Mai-Tai ain't bad either.

Located at the Hyatt Regency, the Tidepools is for the couple looking for that romantic evening. Situated on an island in a koi pond, the restaurant features open-air wooden shutters with flickering tiki torches outside to provide a soothing environment.

The menu is mainly seafood, with a couple of meat options. The food was prepared beautifully and tasted just as good. The service could use a bit of a touch up, though. I recommend making reservations a couple of days in advance if possible.

Tidepools is one of the restaurants located at the Hyatt Hotel. Pools and ponds with koi and waterfalls outside the thatched roofed restaurant were lovely. Before you have dinner, sit on the veranda and enjoy a sunset, stroll around the grounds--it is a beautiful location. Dinner was good, and the ambiance and location add to an overall elegant feeling.
