Dining room at Tidepools, Koloa, HIFew things are more romantic and tropical-feeling than eating outdoors in your own private open-air thatched hale (or, as they say on the mainland, grass hut). That's exactly what you'll find at Tidepools, located on the hotel grounds. The discreetly spaced hale sit like islands in a large pond full of local, tropical fish and rimmed with tiki torches for an even more exotic touch. The menu offers basics, like Kauai-grown produce and locally caught seafood, elevated to savory heights. This is the place to eat fresh fish, whether it’s the grilled ahi with foie gras fried forbidden black rice or macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi with coconut jasmine rice, baby bok choy, tropical rum sauce and papaya-avocado relish. If you must have meat, Tidepools knows that territory, too, serving up a terrific organic New York strip steak with a roasted garlic hollandaise. The passion fruit crème brûlée offers a tropical finishing touch.
