Ashley GriderJuly 13, 2015The crab cakes were amazing. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was awesome for our honeymoon.
nils jansonAugust 31, 2017The seared ahi tuna was expertly prepared but also inventive. Very good food and excellent ambience. I'm surprised that a hotel restaurant was turning out food this good.
DanDecember 6, 2021The tide pools grilled and chilled seafood appetizer could be a meal for one. Has crab legs, oysters, muscles, shrimp, tuna poke, and scallops on it.- Brad KleinmanJune 5, 2012We split a prime rib and new York strip and both were great. Strip had a bit of gristle, but the sauces they served it with were crazy good. Definitely get the chocolate molten lava cake!
- Kevin ChupkaDecember 30, 2015The ceviche was fantastic and the "Hawaiian Catch" entree a perfect taste of different local seafood can't beat the setting either!
Jasmine 💫April 1, 2023Location, ambience, and presentation: 10/10. Service: 10/10. Food: 5/10. Drinks: 0/10.
Tim In The HouseFebruary 16, 2020Opa dish was delicious, as were crusted scallops. We had great wait staff and our table was in a very romantic location.
Lance LacoffOctober 27, 2014Table by water if possible, Hawaiian catch did not disappoint. Food is very good here. It's not just a spot for great ambience
Doris NeubauerAugust 27, 2017They have one barbell which is great if you're missing your crossfit gym. Better than most hotel gyms. There is one rower.
Kristen BeckOctober 5, 2018Sat at the bar and asked to hear the swan’s story. They call her Kauai Girl. When I asked why she doesn’t have a mate, they said “she had one, about 10 yrs ago, and she killed him!” 😱😭 Food is good!
Stephen KunenJune 30, 2023Beautiful restaurant and a wonderful spot for special occasions. Top notch ambiance.
Tim HuberAugust 13, 2022Get the NY Strip Steak. You can have seafood some other time. Server Ron was top notch.- Dee Dee BallJanuary 9, 2017Polenta crusted scallops! Crab cakes are very good - and I consider myself an expert

Yvonne YNovember 8, 2011Definitely try the Sweet Corn and Hawaiian Vanilla soup with dungeoness crab meat. Wow. The flavors are refreshing and amazing!
James DrageApril 13, 2013The rolls are amazing, and the birds know it. If you are sitting by the water, cover the basket and guard your roll.
Mark RubensteinMarch 20, 2015Food was good. Really expensive since you can get food just as good at the terrace or other places. $16 for the appetizer.
- Tony BuiAugust 7, 2011You can share an entree here. A divided portion is equivalent to a euro portion.
- The Hawaiian sweet corn and Hawaiian vanilla soup is amazing!
- Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & SpaDecember 7, 2010Tonight Bottles of Canvas Wine are only $20 with the purchase of an entree.
Green HippieDecember 18, 2018Absolute worst food on the island. Bland, tasteless and overpriced. Avoid this tourist trap!
