    Shrimp Cocktail
    Rachael C.

    The service is excellent. The hostesses are so friendly and accommodating. Our server, Janice was so on top of it and friendly. Some of the musicians were good some were not good at all. The view is beautiful. The whole set up is beautiful. This is a great spot to get an easy dinner after a long day if you're staying here, I'm a lot cheaper than other options. The food is average, but it's kind of like that all over the island.

    Came for drinks and pupu's. Did not disappoint. We had a great table accompanied with some live music. 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

    Tuna Chip

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

    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. 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.

    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). However, the view of the beach is phenomenal and the live music was excellent as well. If you are staying at the hotel, this is a fine option but no reason to go out of your way to come here

    Truffle Burger and Keiki Pasta

    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 view they have live music and the food make a end to a perfect evening .staff was friendly and courteous

    Menu - entrees

    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.

Eclectic American fare, ranging from salads and burgers to pasta and steak, plus sushi and Asian-inspired appetizers. They have an extensive drink and cocktail menu in which I did not partake, but it's there. I opted for the blackened chicken Alfredo (full size), which was pretty hearty. There are tons of fried bacon in here, which makes it a little more indulgent, so be warned if heavy cream and Parmesan is already a lot for you. The kung pao chicken lettuce wrap is the unheralded star here, in my opinion. Sushi is okay, but there are other places in the Poipu area who don't specialize in sushi that make better sushi. Server gave us forks to eat the sushi, which I thought was odd. Pretty good restaurant with a nice, busy feel and good staff. The overhead music can be a little loud at times, but the option of outdoor seating can lessen the clamor.

The fish had a pesto coating. It was nice but nothing special.
