[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice and romantic- good for a light lunch or dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tapas are the main deal with food but tasty. Ate here twice once for lunch another for dinner. The ribs are tasty, mini tacos and sliders are great. Cocktails are tasty too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can't remember everything we had but listening to live music and drinks outside, well- can't beat the atmosphere. Beautiful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Mai tai
James K.

Came for drinks and pupu's. Did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a great table accompanied with some live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Kelsi, our server, was awesome. Perfectly attentive and helpful with any menu questions and recs. All of the plates were good. Standouts were the poke bowl, hamachi sliders, oysters, and ono sashimi

Hawaiian fresh fish
Ken C.

Mid food but a view that can't be beat Food here is quite mediocre. Their chicken wings were way too saucy. The tempura paradise roll was a deep fried sushi roll basically. The hawaiian fresh fish was yummy, but nothing particularly special (especially for $50). [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, the view of the beach is phenomenal and the live music was excellent as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are staying at the hotel, this is a fine option but no reason to go out of your way to come here

Short rib, paniolo sliders, chicharron, rice, Caesar salad
Vince I.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, Seaview Terrace works really well if you're here for sunset drinks and a lineup of shareable bites rather than a super formal dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Between the view, the breeze, and the food being better than expected for a hotel terrace spot, it's a place worth hitting at least once while you're on property.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Tuna Chip

Food was delicious with [[HIGHLIGHT]]amazing ocean view[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and [[HIGHLIGHT]]live music[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Great way to start our vacation.

Truffle Burger and Keiki Pasta
John G.

Check into the hotel in the evening and was looking to grab some dinner before bed. The other restaurants all required reservation and this place took walk-ins. They have live music/entertainment every night til about 9pm. We were seated outside and had good service. Server was friendly and checked in regularly. We ordered a Truffle Burger, Ahi Poke, Keiki Pasta with red sauce and 2 cocktails (Sea Dragon and an Old Fashioned). Food was good, no complaints. The drinks were below average, tasted more watered down and lacked flavor. Would return.

If you want a place to eat, drink and enjoy the fabulous ocean view, this is the place to be. It is great for couples who are seeking romance and suitable for family to enjoy good times together. Food in the hotel is consistently good, the same goes for Seaview Terrance. I ordered the Grand Hyatt Salad and added the shrimp. It was amazing. Seafood never goes wrong in Hawaii.

Fantastic place! We typically prefer non-hotel restaurants while on vacation, but this was restaurant was fabulous! We walked into the restaurant with no reservations and they were so accommodating. The view was beautiful and the live music was just setting up as we were seated. The musician turned out to be a wonderful young man playing the guitar and singing awesome songs. Very entertaining. The menu had a great selection for our family. We even had one family member who has dietary restrictions and the chef was very accommodating with his needs. Plus, his meal was delicious despite the limited items and spices he can eat. The rest of the party ordered the fish of the day (ono), truffle burger and mentaiko pasta. For cocktails, we ordered the skinny pina, cucumber elderflower collins, classic manhattan and lemonade. We were too full to order dessert but continued to enjoy the wonderful live music. There is plenty of parking, but if you prefer valet since the restaurant is part of the Grand Hyatt, it is available.

I'll be complaining to management about the horrible view ;)

A Five star review, for a TEN star View! Yes, this place has a view that NEVER gets old. Center stage in the Grand Hyatt's Kauai Resort, this is the place that you will want to have your coffee, light breakfast, or read your favorite book every morning that you wake up in Poipu. Check out my pictures below and tell me I'm wrong, Waiting..... See, I told you so. I mean if dictionary's had pictures next to each definition, I'm willing to bet that next to the word "Paradise", they are probably going to use the Seaview Terrace's picture in my review to show you what paradise actually looks like. Well if they don't, shame on them, cause this view is absolutely, positively, picture perfect! So, now that we've established that this place has a mediocre view... ;) Let's talk about the reason we really wake up early to get our front row seat... The most important meal of the Day... (Hint, it's not breakfast)... COFFEE!!!! Yes, those Folgers Coffee people had it right. (Sing it if you know it) "The best part of waking up"... IYKYK =) (comment if you know the ending) Funny thing is, if you know this catchy song from those commercials in the 90's, there is a high probability you don't know what this acronym means and are googling as we speak what 'IYKYK' stands for. Haha, just sayin. ;) Ok back to paradise... For those of you fortunate to come to Kauai, and lucky enough to be a guest of the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa, consider yourself blessed to be able to enjoy the views Seaview Terrace offers each morning. My recommendation is the ham & cheese croissant, a hard boiled egg, a banana, and an iced island coconut latte to start your morning off right. Cause at the end of the day, you're on vacation... Live. It. Up. Bring a book, grab the newspaper, kick your feet up and enjoy the amazing view.

They're more on the casual side, and they're on the first floor, so no ocean view. But they have a great covered patio area that is fun and VERY protected. My sister in law and I each tried the macadamia crusted mahi mahi and we really loved it. We got the mashed potatoes with it which was definitely the right call. Unfortunately the broccoli was pretty bland. But my family loved their lilikoi foam-topped Mai Tais. I want to thank the staff because I called and left a message asking to be seated inside since we were worried about rain. Our party was too big for the inside seating (it's very limited), but they made sure to put us in a very protected area on the patio. Our waitress was welcoming and patient. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center which is always helpful. We would definitely come back!

Star 1- clean. Every visible surface, glass, seat and table were clean Star 2- the food was spectacular. I had the Cali Reuben sandwich. It was fantastic. My wife had the Cobb Salad. It was perfect! Star 3- we are not typically "specialty drink" drinkers. The list was introduced to us by the owner who explained every drink was made with top shelf spirits, fresh juices and fruit, and was something they had found, enjoyed, and recreated to serve. Their love for balance and presentation shown through. We tried 4 of their creations and LOVED all of them. Star 4- Environment, the back area is relaxing, beautiful, is on island time. Very enjoyable. Don't rush, just enjoy. Star 5- Owners, kind, warm, and they care about the items brought to the table. Star 6- the whole package. Great value, this is now added as a top stop when in Kauai for us

A very inconsistent meal here. Our table ordered the Brussel sprouts and the mussels as…read more appetizers. Brussel sprouts were very good. After we placed our order for the steamed mussels the server informed us that it would be a mixture of mussels and clams. When the dish came out, it was all clams, no mussels at all. They were very good and the curry sauce they were steamed in was yummy, but it just wasn't what we initially ordered. I ordered the fresh catch fish, which was very disappointing. The fish itself was very fresh tasting, but it was overcooked to the point of being dry. It was also bland and seemed to be unseasoned. It sat on a bed of purple sweet potato with a fresh succotash mixture on the side. The vegetables must have been plated long before the fish was ready because the potatoes and vegetables were no longer even warm, which was an unpleasant combo with the overcooked, bland fish. There was a sauce on the side, but not nearly enough considering the dry slab of tasteless fish sitting on top of cold potatoes. Others at the table ordered the lamb chops and steaks. The lamb chops were delicious and those at our table with steaks seemed very happy with them. Our server forgot to bring the drinks to 2 of the 6 people in our party. She did offer to remove the mussels from the bill due to the error in preparing this dish. Atmosphere was extremely loud, there was a singer in the bar area with the volume turned up high. That combined with the large bar area open to the restaurant made it so loud that it was nearly impossible to carry on a conversation in the dining area. It is a fairly pricey restaurant. For the price, I'd expect better service and a better prepared meal. There are far better choices elsewhere on the island.

My first dining experience on this short trip was at Kaua'i Island Brewing Co. The oldest cumulative brewery on Kaua'i at 23 years, it held the distinction as the world's westernmost brewery on the island of Kaua'i based on where the International Dateline crossed American Samoa. It's been years since I last visited Kaua'i when the now departed Kaua'i Beer Co. was my watering hole. Would their own brews keep me in good company with local islanders!?
