Honestly, this is never a bad choice if you stay on the property. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great music at night with the unbeatable view from the Terrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good but nothing to write home about. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a great vibe overall![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We enjoyed it. read more

The service is excellent. The hostesses are so friendly and accommodating. Our server, Janice was so on top of it and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some of the musicians were good some were not good at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view is beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole set up is beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

One of the best spots at the resort to relax, enjoy the views, sip great drinks, and listen to live music. We stopped by a few times during our trip for drinks and appetizers and it was always a great time. The cocktails are delicious, the wine list is solid, and food was tasty. I love that the live music changes nightly and that Fridays feature hula dancers, which is such a fun touch. We never had to wait too long for a seat, but I recommend arriving just before 5:00pm if you want a front-row view of the music. The sunset is phenomenal from both inside and the patio, with beautiful panoramic ocean views. read more

I went here for dinner yesterday and it was slightly crowded. About a 5 minute wait for a table. I also got a burger, which was average in quality. The food did take a while to come though. I was seated outdoors and it was a little cold, but there were fire pits outside giving warmth. Got the crème brûlée for dessert and it took a while to come, but it was amazing. It took around 1.5 hours at this place. The views made it better read more

[[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]] read more

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 read more

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 read more

[[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]] read more

My husband and I had a beautiful time here. One of my favorite memories from our Kauai trip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's all open air so you can feel the breeze, the light rain, and the live music. So dreamy!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat at a high top table and enjoyed cocktails and appetizers which were pretty decent sized and so delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We weren't super hungry for a full dinner and it was perfect. The strawberry spritz is a must! 10/10 you must go if visiting the Kōloa area. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Seaview Terrace has gorgeous views but is sketchy, expensive, and inconsistent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cocktails are $24. My 7yr old daughter's Keiki cheeseburger was the size of a half dollar - literally a single, itty bitty slider-type cheeseburger you would see as maybe one of three or four on an adult appetizer shareable plate - but there was only one of these teenies for her entire meal. Maybe enough for a 9 month old but no one older than that. Meanwhile my son's Keiki chicken tenders meal was more than ample, so go figure. Also, my husband and I came here for drinks and dessert by ourselves one night and we were initially charged for a much more expensive type of whisky than my husband ordered (this was corrected once he went over the receipt carefully), and a single scoop of ice cream is $10 despite the item on the menu seemingly implying you get two, ie: "sorbet & gelato". I just feel overall tricked and conned being at this restaurant. It's at an expensive resort, for which we are fortunate enough to pay for with points, and feel like we are being taken advantage of with insane expenses, very mid food, and tiny portions. Do your research and go off site to find better food and prices, with similar dramatic ocean vistas. read more

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. read more

It was our first night in Kauai and because we didn't have reservations, they were very busy, so we waited for a table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside and it was already sunset and dark so we couldn't see anything out in the ocean. In the day hours, the view is gorgeous but I don't dine at restaurants for the view, it's the food[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We tried a sushi roll, it was OK but I've had better. The Caesar salad was pretty good and large size. Hubby's fish was OK but he wasn't thrilled about it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a guitarist-singer who mostly played older music that catered to the tourists from mainland, nothing Hawaiian or current.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was OK. read more

3.5. Located inside the Hyatt. The food is decent but the portions are small and the prices are astronomical for what you get:( Live music was nice, there's not much seating. The drinks were awesome! The lychee, cranberry ginger beer is worth it! But we paid more for this tiny meal than we did at some of the other fine dining restaurants on the island?! Which was just crazy! If you have a rental car get out bc there's so much more better eats elsewhere. This place could be better. At least decent size portions.. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

If you're at the Grand Hyatt and don't want to leave to get food - this basically the room service without the service fees - that being said - it's better than it was in the past in terms of menu choices and prices reflect where you're at - so enjoy the music and views with your meal read more

Food was mid. Really missed the mark on flavor. Cesar salad had anchovy filets right on top and the flavor overpowered the salad. They should have been lightly marinated in the lemony cesar dressing. Beef, sweet pea and lobster ravioli were so bland I don't understand how. Lilikoi cheesecake was wrapped in rice paper, rolled like spring rolls and deep fried. I could barely taste the cheesecake filling. Mostly tasted of fried spring roll wrapper. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful view on the terrace.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chill live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly server was attentive but didn't rush us. Food came out promptly. read more

Kauai No Reservations One of the more challenging aspects of Kauai dining is finding a suitable dining spot when casual plate lunch places have all closed and more formal sit-down dining is all booked, especially in the touristy Poipu area Seaview Terrace takes over the space of Illima Terrace during dinner and offers an eclectic menu There's something for everyone and while the prices are a bit elevated reflecting the hotel location, it's very convenient with plentiful space for walk ins and no reservations taken Truffle Burger $25 / Caesar Salad $17 / Mentaiko Pasta $33 / Lobster Dynamite $37 Seaview Terrace (Poipu, Kauai) Seating is all open air and credit cards are all accepted. The best part is no reservations with plentiful seating. read more

Got the surf and turf ravioli. It was terrible. They kindly refunded it but server didn't come by until end of meal so did not get anything else. She even noted the dish is not good but didn't offer that when I ordered it! If you like bad food that's very expensive, this is your place! read more

We stopped by for a quick bite and enjoyed our drinks, meal and view. The ambiance is very romantic and chill for an island night. I'm not a big seafood fan but the meals were good. We started with refreshing drinks, a Caesar salad and then our entrees. The swordfish was flavorful and wonderful flaky texture. It was on a bed of slaw with some rice on the side. The truffle burger had double patties with small mushrooms. Fries were waffle fries - well seasoned. Overall it was a pleasant meal for a nice night. read more

Seaview Terrace at the Grant Hyatt Kauai is THE place for sunsets, views, and cocktails! I came here on a girls trip after spending the day at the Grand Hyatt's spa, and my group was immediately seated on the central medallion of the patio overlooking Poipu Beach. We got to watch the beautiful sunset and listen to live music over pupus and cocktails. I would say the drinks were great, and the food was above average. You're paying for the ambiance and views. Hope to be back at the Grand Hyatt Kauai again for sunsets and cocktails at Seaview Terrace. read more

Had the best experience dining at the Seaview Terrace for dinner before sunset! My party got to the restaurant around 5:30 on a Tuesday and there was absolutely no wait. We requested to sit at the table with the best view and man did our outdoor table at the patio not disappoint! Between the three of us, we shared the following dishes: Tempura Paradise Roll - 3 stars New York Steak Pupu Style - 3.5 stars Pasta Bolognese - 5 stars (BEST DISH BY FAR - must order) Lobster Dynamite - 4/5 stars (second fave) Food was good! Some dishes were better than others, I really enjoyed the pasta Bolognese! The lobster dynamite was also enjoyable and flavorful as well. The views were amazing and dinner was such a vibe! Overall, it was a great experience with respect to food, ambiance, and views! read more

The Seaview Terrace is one of the main dining options at the grand Hyatt. The menu is rather limited. First thing is the surf and turf ravioli was disgusting. That meal was half eaten. The truffle burger had not truffles, just some Safeway truffle oil. The staff are friendly and the view is killer. But the food is straight garbage. There a not enough expletives to cover how this food tasted. We were actually asking ourselves if we were at the right resort. A level 7 Hyatt with the grossest mattress pad food you could imagine. The music went along with the rather geriatric crowd. Staff were A+ friendly. Too bad, even mediocre food would have scored this meal a win. We did not eat on resort after that experience. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food with an incredible ocean view![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We recommend the bao buns and chicken wings. Cocktails are also delicious and visually stunning. Aurora, our server, was really wonderful and elevated the whole experience. She recommended the pineapple cheesecake and it knocked our socks off! We will definitely come back and appreciate the kindness and hospitality. read more

Sea view Terrace is located near the lobby area at Grand Hyatt. The view doesn't get any better as it overlooks the ocean with plenty palm trees swaying in the wind. The service was slow. However, it's vacation so nobody is in a real rush other than hangry tummies. In the mornings, they serve Starbucks coffee along with usual pastries and spam misubi (of course! It's Hawaii!). In the evening, they have live entertainment. The night we were there, there was an awesome band playing ukulele. It was really entertaining. The food was good as well. We had club sandwich, poke and a salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. I also had skinny pina to drink; highly recommend it. They don't skimp on alcohol in their mixed drinks. Enjoy! We definitely did! read more

Bought the $47 sear fish. Taste: 4/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Service: 9/10 Location: 10/10 Food was mediocre especially for what youre paying for. Don't get me wrong the space is extremely nice and there's a live band, but it's all show and no substance. Fish was not fresh and definitely tasted like it was frozen. Very basic flavor. read more

I would give 5 stars to the wait staff, the space and the view, but absolutely 0 for the food. The chicken appetizer was dry and had the tiniest amount of chicken The chicken wings were as sweet as you'd expect a dessert to eat The burger was dry and bland The lobster Mac and cheese was the worst I've ever had. They used baby noodles to make it with, it was watery and the lobster bitter to taste. A very disappointing meal. read more

Great view and entertainment at night, no reservations necessary! Came here on a Sunday evening and had a nice candlelit dinner by the balcony with a clear sky and great live music in the background.
