    48 hour Wagyu Short Rib
    Carter K.

    Cane & Canoe is a gorgeous fine dining experience in the Montage with a view of the ocean and fresh air. The restaurant is quiet and offers relaxing setting. The staff is wonderful and takes care of you the whole time. My favorite dish was the sweet corn agnolotti. You could taste the sweet corn and truffle which worked perfectly together while topped with tender warm crab, I could eat this dish everyday it was so good. The house made tagliatelle in the shrimp scampi was cooked exactly how I like it, a little al dente, and mixed with an amazing sauce. All of our dishes were amazing, I loved the creativity of the menu.

    Awesome setting

    We were super excited to try this restaurant at a sister hotel property. Ambiance is beautiful. Open air restaurant. Beautiful ocean views. Breathtaking sunset. Wine pairings were on point from our waiter who gapped to be the sommelier too! Food. Sadly we were disappointed. Apps: lobster bisque, Wagyu special, and a third we can't remember. Good but not spectacular. Entrees: scampi, seared ahi, Wagyu filet and fish special on smoked mash potatoes. All were good but took a long time to come out of the kitchen. Mash was cold, scampi had kind of congealed and the ahi was cool (which I didn't hate but unclear if that was intended temp). Filet was best in show. Service was slow overall with two large parties kind of jamming up the staff and kitchen. But only a few other tables to manage so ??? Overall a 'meh' rating

    Short rib. Portion was huge. Smoked potatoes was out of this world

    After being horribly treated by the hostess at the next door restaurant, we left our cocktails on the bar and walked here. We had no reservations but welcomed and given a front row seat. Had an amazing experience: service, ambiance, drinks, wine, food. As it should be. Hats off to Cane and Canoe!

    Had a dinner date with my husband on a Saturday night. Called earlier in the morning to make reservations, but it wasn't too busy when we got there at 5:45 pm. If you valet park, they will validate. We were coming from the spa and left our car parked above since the spa was closed. There's a pathway to walk down from the spa down to the restaurant. The host was welcoming, and immediately turning to the left you take in the breathtaking view. Last time I dined here, it was later in the evening; so I wasn't able to appreciate the sunset. Live music of a talented guitarist playing and singing throughout dinner in the background. Our server John was friendly, informative on the current menu, made suggestions, and was very attentive. We started with Maui onion soup and lobster mac and cheese. Dinner rolls came with 3 dipping options of honey, olive oil, and whipped butter with black sea salt and were served with a creamy kombucha coconut amuse bouche shooter. The soup had sourdough croutons and gruyere cheese. My husband found the soup flavorful but a little salty. My lobster mac and cheese was delicious. Creamy, cheesy, and generous chunks of lobster throughout. For our entrees we ordered, the Double R Ranch 10 oz ribeye with broccolini and mashed potato puree and the fish of the moment- opakapaka with broccolini, wild mushrooms, on a bed of smashed garlic potatoes in a creamy green curry sauce. The ribeye was marinated to perfection and cooked medium. The broccolini and potatoes were a nice accompaniment. The fish was flavorful, flaky, and lots of texture with the spices of the curry sauce, and the crunch from the veggies gave this dish a lot of dimension. We opted out of dessert, but creamy dark chocolate candies were brought over with our check. The food was delicious, service was on par, and live music was pleasant. I understand that this a resort restaurant and the clientele are primarily tourists, but that also made it feel a bit pretentious. Definitely opt for an early dinner to enjoy the view, since you're paying a premium for dinner. I appreciate the generous kama'aina discount, so hopefully this will attract more local people to give Cane and Canoe a chance. If you have a large enough party, you may want to request dining in one of the two cabanas for privacy. I wasn't aware of the ambiance last time around since we were in our own little bubble. Thank you for a delicious meal. Would be interested in coming back for brunch to see if it feels more relaxed.

    Heard about this venue from a friend that stayed at the Montage (a must visit for another trip) and had nothing but great things to say. In an area that should have great dining opportunities, this is one of the few that actually delivers. The layout, view and entrance are second to none on the island; you will quickly realize that it's a full experience curated by a patron genetic culture. I would suggest a reservation but it may not be necessary depending on the day of the week. The food is amazing. I typically take time to snap photos but did not have a single disappointing but. The filet was perfect and accompanied by memorable veggie options. We sampled the asparagus, Buffalo cauliflower and lobster mac... All hits. This is the only bar on any trip to Maui that can produce a great Old Fashion. Can't wait to work my way through the menu on a subsequent trip.

    The restaurant. The only good thing about the dinner.

    First I want to say that I had called the restaurant 2 days prior and asked if it was a pre fixed meal. The answer was not on Christmas but only Christmas Eve would there be a pre fix. I asked her 3 x to be sure. When I got there I was so disappointed to find out that that was incorrect it was a pre fix. Not wanting to go to another restaurant on Christmas night we stayed. Wrong move, should have left. The first course was ravioli it was cold sauced in some kind of oil and not cooked all the way. The main was fish that was small and very delicious or special the ribeye was very fatty hardly any real meat other than fat. The dessert was, just plain, not good or delicious at all. I spent a lot of money for food that was not good. The restaurant was beautiful. That's about it. One of the worst Christmas dinners we 4 had. They should have done better this was nothing more than a mass production of bad food.

    (Ryan Reynolds voiceover) The vibe is signature restaurant w/ the best view of the ocean! Jaime warmly greeted us! Told her we were on island time and had to forgo our 7AM appt as we strolled in at 9.... So warm & accomodating Matt served us Amuse bouche. Banana muffin avec trois Le Must jams (Produit de France). Délicieux! Roger the sous chef even came out at our request as the ladies absolutely loved the food! Lobster Benedict Signature dish. Perfect! 70% crab claw. Wow! The custom Tofu Scramble. Off menu style with 2 poached eggs! Splendiferous! Crab Omelette! Fantastic! Especially with a dash of Tobasco! Fried rice! Wow! The Fresh Fruit Smoothie was divine! The Kona Coffee and Hawaiian only blend was great with no acidity! And we finished off with fresh juice of one whole Pineapple! Matt also went above and beyond and offered to be our photographer. Way above and beyond! WOW! Signature dishes at the Signature table w/ some of my fave folks on planet Earth! Would order everything again! Woohoo!

    The butter and bread were super yummy. Even better to wile your bread in the lobster ravioli sauce. See next photo

    Spent a very enjoyable date night here a few weeks back. The service was excellent and the vibe was very cool. Live music was a plus. The server was very attentive as were the entire staff.

    The breakfast was awesome like nothing else.There service was sensational.The scenery was also awesome.They had great views! I recommend this place!!!!

    It was the first time I've been there and was looking for something what looked different and tasty. I made reservations here and gad a great time. The dinner experience is exactly the type I like while I'm in Hawaii. Each dish was well prepared, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, and the staff was on point. I would recommend every dish in the photos attached. For this trip, tbh, I enjoyed it even more than my meal at Mamas Fish House . (Blasphemy, I know.). Plus, it was way easier to book than Mama's was.

    Do you need a reservation for brunch?

    It depends. For example, during busier times where higher percentages of rooms are booked at the Montage, it may be wise to make a reservation. However, I believe they do accommodate walk-ins if space permits!

    This is the restaurant in the golf club next to the Ritz. We were able to grab a last minute…read morereservation for 4 (it's a large restaurant so I see why) and requested to be seated outside by the patio so the kids could run around, and oh, they did. The place is beautiful and modern, albeit loud inside. Also, I'd say it's not the most Hawaiian vibes, if you're going for that specific vibe. The food was really good. It was expensive, but to be expected. I went with the double fish entree and it escapes me what two fish, but it truly was delicious and maybe the best meal on my limited trip to Maui. The ube bread was dough and delicious smothered in their compounded butter. The cocktail was good. My kids ordered ice cream sandwiches, which we were told were small, but they were actually quite big, to the kids happiness. The service was slower, but the place was packed. Overall, we enjoyed it!

    I was really hoping the reviews I read were wrong, but unfortunately they were not…read more We arrived and water was ready on the table. We arrived in 2 separate groups. We were a party of 8. Our server came around and took drink orders right away, like we barely had time to look at the menu. I felt rushed. I think his name was Sean. I ended up with a Mai Tai, which I didn't really care for. It was different than other and had a spice (like cinnamon or something with some other spices) taste to it. We ordered a couple order of bread for the table. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, however our knives and appetizer plates were cleared before the bread was finished and knives were not replaced. Halfway through our server offered kids water cups to my 5 and 7 year old. We also had to ask what the fish or the day was then had to ask how it was prepared. Server was awkward and would randomly come over and hover. Food arrived and everyone seemed happy with their meals. I ordered the shrimp & scallops and like other reviewers said, it was very bland, shrimp was over cooked but my scallops were perfectly cooked. We ordered desserts to split amongst us. Cheesecake was my favorite, lava cake was disappointing and our kids enjoyed their cookie ice cream sandwich. They had those drawing tablets for the kids to draw on while at dinner and I think that is genius! There was a 22% fee for a large party (again, 8 of us) on top of their 4% "convenience fee" It's an open air restaurant and there was no breeze. It was hot and sticky the whole time, which was uncomfortable.

We have returned to Napili…read morefour times over the last seven years. because we typically cook our own food, go to the sea house, or miso phat, we overlooked Merriman's mostly due to the fact our son was so young. However, as he is now a mid aged teenager and with a developed pallet, we decided to take him. We are from San Francisco so he has grown up going to many fancy restaurants however, in Maui, we tend to be pretty casual and chill. I got on my OpenTable and plugged in our interest because nothing was available the entire 10 days we were there. A few days and I got a ping that a 4 o'clock three top in the bar was available. I snagged it and I'm so happy I did so! Turns out we were right within their happy hour offering so we gladly took advantage and ordered everything off the menu in addition to other items later. The shrimp was incredible the hummus, unique and delicious the pork quesadilla on the rich side, but a nice accompaniment to our appetizer stage of the experience, we got the truffle fries, and as with any truffle fries I've ever had. They were equally delicious. In addition to our main courses, everything was super tasty fresh and well presented. The view and overall environment of the inside bar was incredible. Our accommodations are oceanfront so to still get a wow factor from a restaurant setting other than the sea house notable. The highlight of our experience was our amazing waiter named Dylan, a young man with a polished and professional and friendly approach. He was very attentive and spent time with us, enjoying our stories of life and sharing his own. These were all obviously cliff note versions as he was busy with other tables, but he was really engaging and offered incredible advice on what to order. We have had lots of fine, dining experience, including Michelin star restaurants, and this guy could easily work at any of them however, he did say how happy he was at Merriman's and that says a lot I could tell the staff was all having a good time and enjoying their working experience which then of course the vibe rolls into the guests and their dining experience. I hope the manager reads this and appreciates such a kind young wonderful man working at their establishment and representing to the T. If you're lucky enough to score reservations, definitely go! Oh! And don't forget the vanilla ice cream there is something crazy special. It might be gelato actually whatever it was made all of our heads spin absolutely crazy good. And if you are staying in Napili, it's an easy walk for us. It was like three minutes.

The poor bar tender could have been selling more food and drinks which is the name of the game for business; however no bar-back or even management engagement.
