2 places our scouts eat
Poʻipū
Beach House Restaurant (Lawai Beach, Poipu) — the best sunset dinner seat on the south shore. Tables face directly west over the ocean; the sunset from here is extraordinary. Fresh fish and a good wine list. Reserve specifically for sunset — get the time from local sunset tables and book the sitting that ends 30 min before it. Full 15 min early.
Poʻipū
Tidepool Restaurant (Grand Hyatt, Poipu) — the splurge dinner on Kauai, built over the resort's koi ponds with open-air thatched tables at the water's edge. Book ahead and time it for sunset. Fresh fish, tropical cocktails, the setting is the point.
