Walked in to live music which was really nice . Place wasn't super crowded but we were in Kauai so I think their crowded and Oahu crowded might be different. It was just nice to see a resort restaurant not overly crowded like Oahu. The food was really good I had the Teri beef plate which came with rice Mac salad and bok choy it was ono!! Plate was about $25 which I thought was reasonable for hotel restaurant. My daughter is really picky so they made her scrambled eggs and rice . The restaurant is outdoors. Staff was really nice . Mellow environment. Great place to relax and have a drink . We did pool side dining which worked out perfectly since my little one wanted to swim . There is also games to entertain anyone whether a kid or adults having some drinks . Beautiful restaurant. Definitely be back . I recommend! read more

Amazing restaurant! No idea why it's rated so low. Everything I've ever gotten here has been absolutely delicious. The hurricane fries and loco moco with kalua pork are my favorites. The Ahi burger, fish tacos and poke nachos were also a hit in my family. Fast service right by the pool and beach, what's not to love! read more

A good spot if you want to grab a drink by the water. The bar is right by the pool so it can get a little noisy during the day but the view is great and they have tvs in case there's a game you want to watch. Plus I really enjoyed my chicken bowl. read more

Service is very inconsistent and quality of food is also inconsistent. I ordered the same drink twice and got it made completely different both times. Ordered the Caesar salad, which I thought was below average. Breadcrumbs and pickled onions are a bit weird on a Caesar salad. The nachos were very bland and I'm not sure what kind of cheese they used, but it had the consistency of a fake nut cheese. Also got the mahi-mahi tacos, which were may be a 6/10. My husband got the cheeseburger and said it was below average and didn't have much flavor and then he also got the poke bowl what she said was OK. Every time we ordered something from the pool deck, they delivered the food or drinks, but then never came back to check on us . read more

Great bar / restaurant for a hotel. Cocktails with an ocean view. Food is really pretty good. Aeden the bartender makes an amazing Bloody Mary. lol. He was the best. Great service had a blast. read more

Great if you're hanging out at the pool but okay if you're looking for something serious. I did enjoy the beef bowl a lot. Otherwise, the poke was okay.. . They have a secret menu coconut drink. read more

Good food, friendly staff. A bit pricy for what you get but I guess "it's the island". Drink menu is a bit limited on beers but the bar tender can make you about anything, and with a sense of humor! read more

Kyle is the best server I have had in a long time. Has gone above and beyond to meet my needs.

Great service, drinks, and food. You can't beat the beachside view. It's a little spendy but since we're staying at the hotel, it's convenient. I recommend it! read more

So, I think this is the same place as the Fire Hen, but I'm not sure. That was part of our confusion. You just kind of sit down at a table in a vaguely defined area and hope someone comes by. Eventually someone did and we were able to order food and drinks. The cheeseburger, which I dont think is on their regular menu, was amazing. One of the best I've had in a long time. My wife liked the chicken tenders she ordered as well. Its fun to sit there poolside close to the ocean. Nice vibes. I just wish it was a little clearer what you're supposed to do. The tables dont get bussed very often so it's likely you'll have to sit down at a cluttered table until someone comes by. Yeah, kinda strange but overall we had a great experience. The server was very friendly. read more

We ordered the poke nachos because we saw it recommended on a tiktok video. It is SO SALTY and inedible. It wasn't even an overdressed nacho issue. I tried each component - the pickles, the sauces, the chips, and the ahi. It was terribly salty throughout every component that we could not pick through to eat. Do not recommend this place to eat read more

Service is good, gorgeous setting with tvs so you can watch whatever sporting events are one. Food was decent, just nothing stood out. Pricey for what it is, but for a hotel restaurant it's to be expected read more

Eh, not too good. Especially not for the price. I don't usually mention price but my $24 burger was not the quality of burger you deserve for your 24 bucks. . . Here is the deal. It is in a hotel at the pool in front of the beach. They have a captive audience and the view is pretty. It is. There is some live music in the evening and it's the islands and I get it. Things are expensive but the quality is just not there. Crappy patty, overcooked. The fries were good and crispy and the Taro bun was very good. The beef just wasn't there for me. It wasn't just the burger either. I thought the drafts were a bit warm and the whole menu was expensive for what you get. You are paying for convenience. I have been staying at this hotel for years and I feel like the quality has been on a slow and steady decline. I haven't reviewed before because this is "just a pool bar" but I am hoping a few reviews wakes the management up. It's a sad little pool bar that probably rakes in some money on marginal food and uninspired service to a captive audience. I'm here for work. I eat here sometimes, I may even come back but this place is just a sad place. I would actually be a little depressed if I was here for a meal on vacation. This part of the island is not known for its food offerings but if I can I will probably try to go somewhere else next time I'm in town if it's not raining. read more

I'm obsessed with their Caesar salad!!! Honestly! I could eat it everyday!! Family and I sat at a table looking out into the ocean at sunset and the ambiance was absolutely perfect!! read more

This is an outside typical hotel bar. The drinks were very expensive. $30 for a cocktail and a beer. We had read there was happy hour but were quickly informed they do not have a happy hour. Super odd because it was a Tuesday at 4:00 and dead. I watched the server with the long dark hair wipe off the tables half ass and kick the chairs back into place. The tables were still filthy and the bar top super sticky. It lacked so much but could be great with a more cheerful and diligent staff. read more

4 stars for service and 3 of the 4 relate to the food. SERVICE Grab your menu from the bar and self seat. Our server came out promptly and she was very nice. Even acknowledged the hawaiian name my husband decided to go by while we are on vacation lol. She went MIA towards the end but other servers took care of us and I assumed she had gone on break or lunch. FOOD Poke appetizer was void of flavoring. Perhaps it had not marinated long enough. As well it was fairly warm for poke. The wonton chips were ok. Hubby felt the fish and chips lacked in seasoning. I tasted the Mahi and it was nice. The batter was still a bit gummy underneath and the fries were Luke warm. The banana lumpia was good. A nice touch would be to add whipped cream or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Other than that it was fried well and I wish the center could have beem warmer but I understand not wanting to burn the outside. DRINKS Hubby had a gin and tonic and the butterfly margarita.. I had the Pineapple drink and all drinks were as expected. read more

The Mahi fish tacos were okay, The fish&chips were bad. Seems like they were sitting for a long while. The Hurricane fries and Ahi nachos were very good. The service was good. Sitting 50 yards from the beach was something we don't often get to do. So, the ambiance was great. read more

This is a challenge on the star rating. The food is really quiet good, better than I would expect from a hotel pool bar. We are staying over a week onsite and it has been great to grab a bite. We had the garden burger, loco moco(awesome) wings, calamari, lava cake, and all were good. The Ceasar Salad is great! But the service - inconsistent. If you are at the bar or nearby it is good. Nice bartenders. Saturday I was surprised to be offered poolside service. Ordered a drink and food, got both. (The food runner is awesome) but then NEVER saw the server again. She never left the bar area, chatting with other server, etc. When a manager type came by she literally started running to look busy. 2 hours and 40 minutes later I went up to close out my check at the bar since she never made another round. Bartender had to find her standing behind the TV. I get pool service takes longer. I get they likely did not have enough servers (2) for the bar and pool, but if you do not have the staff, dont offer the service. Or come by to close out open checks if you are no longer offering the service. read more

They DO have happy hour again! Starts at 4pm. $6 drafts and $2 off Pupus. BUT it doesn't start until 4pm. Other place down the beach starts at 3pm. At least they are ramping up again after C. read more

This is the poolside restaurant at the Sheraton Coconut Resort. Since we were staying at the hotel, it was very convenient to eat here. We also enjoyed the live music on a Friday evening. And the view is amazing since your right on the beach. As for the food, beer battered fish tacos were pretty good. They also serve chicken wings from a virtual restaurant Fire Hen, the wings were bomb! They have tons of flavors and you can even get the sauces on the side but either way the wings are super crispy and still juicy inside. For hotel food it's pretty good and there's lots of seating around and near the pool. read more

Always a good time when we come here. Try coming at 5:30 to hear the live music and see the fire lighting. Prices are average for the resort on the island and it's good food also good ambiance. Servers and bartenders are always welcoming and have a great attitude. My favorite was the Hawaiian BBQ beef and the fish and chips , the mahi mahi was so good ! And if you get a pina colada get a double with the floater amazing! read more

I come to this hotel every week for work (flight crew). Often times we get in late so this is the only dinner option in the area. I usually try to call in to pick up and eat in my room, they NEVER answer their phone. And then when you go over to the bar you get completely ignored. If you manage to get anyone's attention they often treat you like you are bothering them! Terrible attitude and service, and their food is really a 4/10 to begin with. I'll be brining my own food from now on. No Aloha, so sad! read more

Great setting and wonderful music. Sat at the bar and had the most expensive Mai tai of my life - and it was no Monkey Pod! $21 for one...insane! I chose not to eat and give them more of my money. I stay here often and am very disappointed!! read more

Shizz the bartender here absolutely made our 1-night stay at Sheraton Kauai Coconut Beach. I felt like we found the best bartender on the island! The Crooked Surf has an good array of cocktails and eats. I read that the food was bland, though we did not have entrees there the arugula watermelon salad and the shishito peppers were great to eat since we had a good amount of cocktails there! Shizz has great stories, great showmanship, and a true craft and at his skill. All the other staff at the bar were very nice and just radiated that day. I highly recommend stopping here for a drink! We did and didn't leave until hours later. read more

Came here three nights in a row and hands down... RAY was the best server of the three nights!! Super kind, attentive and just a great person. The food was pretty good, expensive (but hey, it's a restaurant at a hotel, so it is to be expected). We ordered a variety of dishes, but the repeats were the fish and chips, banana lumpia, burgers and the bomb ginger teriyaki sauce that goes with anything (fries, wings, etc.). Thanks Ray for making our experience stellar! read more

This is pretty much the main hotel bar for the Sheraton at Coconut Beach. Has a lot of TVs and games going on. The servers were pretty great and they do a good job filling up the drinks quickly. The food does take quite a bit longer (1.5 beers to be exact) but we weren't really in a rush so wasn't a big deal. Prices were about standard for the area. The location is great though. You can see the ocean to the east and the beautiful pool to the south. read more

Resort restaurant and bar at Sheraton Hotel Resort Coconut Beach. Super impressed by the food and drinks, less impressed with speed of service but someone kept telling me "we're on island time now" so that makes it better I guess? Pulled pork sandwiches was so good and my wife's bowl was also delish. Calamari to start was a bit disappointing portion wise but tasked just fine. Cocktails were good and beer was nice and cold! It was nice to have the live music with that killer view too! Worth it for anyone staying or walking by. read more

Bar located next to pool, open area. Beautiful location and if the weather is nice it's amazing!! The service has gone down drastically over the past months-year and the food quality as well. They used to have an amazing menu with good choices and everything was tasty and fresh. Now, I prefer to eat somewhere else! The have live music nightly .. typical one person performing & it's hit or miss. The first night the music was fantastic, second night okay and the third night awful! read more

Got the Ahi Poke Nachos and multiple Mai Tai's (local). It was GREAT! Look you're paying resort prices so it's going to hit your pocket book. But they serve you drinks right to your seat by the pool!
