    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.

    (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 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.

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

    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!

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!

Merriman's Kapalua is perched on an oceanfront peninsula directly on Kapalua Bay Point. You have unobstructed views of snorkelers and whales breaching during whale season. There is indoor and outdoor seating for dining. The service is excellent. Our server was very attentive, friendly and very helpful. The Food is Off the highest quality. American Waygu burger sliders - 5/5 The Waygu burger patties were very delicious. They were cooked perfectly medium so the sliders were tender and juicy! The brioche bun were perfect fit for these sliders. The Molokai'i sweet potatoes fries were excellent too. Hawaiian Ahi Poke - 5/5 Another excellent selection. Hawaiian Ahi that was bought from the auction fish docks the same morning, cut into cubes along with green onions, sweet Maui onions, ginger, jalapeños then mixed with ginger-sesame soy, and prepared at your table. Put the poke on the sweet potato fries and you have a delicious appetizer you won't forget! Mac Nut- Crusted Fresh Catch - 5/5 Freshly caught Hawaiian Ono steamed to perfection, with Hamakua mushroom reduction sauce. The chili- garlic broccoli was cooked perfectly tender. Along with the scallion rice, this selection was outstanding. Diver Scallops & Clam Curry - 5/5 The scallops were very succulent and tender. The green coconut curry boosted the flavor, and the clams were easy to pull out of their shells. The shrimp shu-mais were tender and delicious. Ulu (bread fruit) were fried for the starch in this selection. Another excellent selection to choose from. Waialua Chocolate Purse - 5/5 Dark chocolate wrapping that looks like paper that contains chocolate mousse. Paired with homemade Tahitian vanilla ice cream. A very nice selection to complete your dining experience. Again, this is a very upscale restaurant that serves outstanding Hawaiian fusion cuisine. The total for our dining experience including two mocktails was over $230. Be aware Merriman's will add a kitchen "surcharge" to your bill. If on Maui, I highly recommend dining at Merriman's in Kapalua if you get a chance. The experience, views are unforgettable.

    I was so disappointed in the experience. I made my reservation exactly 60 days prior, at the moment…read morereservations were available. The idea was to have a special dinner with an iconic sunset view with my wife for her birthday. What I got was rushed into a table that barely had room for 2 serving spaces and LITERALLY obstructed view of the entire ocean. Merriman's should be ashamed to even have a table in this space. We were not "inside" but 2 sides of the table abutted a support column that 100% obstructed any kind of plausible view of the ocean. We arrived on time, for a table reserved 60 day in advance but the seating we were given would have been barely acceptable for a walk in, take anything available option. The entire experience was absolutely anything but special, $330 and I have to sit in an awkward side angled position, not even across from my wife, with a view of 2 walls that I could have gotten in a strip mall fast casual restaurant? It's clear they don't care, and it is just another table to turn 3-4 times a day and rake in the $$. I absolutely advise anyone to steer clear, this is like ordering an amazing sunset birthday dinner and getting the TEMU version. The food was good, but server was not attentive and seemed overly busy and had zero interest in guiding our choices, instead was "here's the menu, let me know what you want". Total and utter disappointment from the minute we walked in until we left. In the moment they were extremely busy so it's not like there were other table options. On a special occasion I do expect I need to ask to not stare at a wall, for a place heralded for sunset views. Merriman's should be ashamed for even having a seat so awful and awkward. Do not risk your special occasion on a place that is overcrowded, overpriced and completely underwhelming in every single aspect!

So if that's a big part of what other folks love about Sea House, we came at a time when that's not a factor. Service was super nice - both our servers and the hostesses. I appreciate that they have choices for vegans, vegetarians, carnivores and pescatarians. Tables outside were nice enough - but I'd say that indoors needs a refresh. It had a 1980s Ramada Inn hotel restaurant vibe. People seemed happy inside - it just seemed more like a place for folks who have visited here for decades than a place with a trendy interior. Drinks: cocktail list was a little more tropical-traditional than cutting-edge mixology, but what they make seems well done. I decided "when in Rome" - & got a frozen coconut mojito. It was definitely tasty & came with the expected brain freeze. Bread: 2 complimentary rolls (in contrast to restaurants that make you pay for fancier & tastier pull apart rolls). They were fine, not memorable. Salad: we split the MOLOKA'I WATERMELON SALAD, which was the most interesting salad on the menu: Makawao Farm arugula + Kumu Farm watermelon + sheep milk feta + Kula sweet onion + EVOO + aged balsamic. It was refreshing and tasty - and they kindly split it for us in the kitchen. Definitely big enough for two people to split, so a great value for $18. Entree: can't remember what my sweetie got but it was "some kind of meat" and he thought it was fine LOL. I got the LOCAL MUSHROOM RISOTTO: it comes with a kind of brown sauce (mushroom, cheese), rather than just being in a broth. But the rice was firm, and I really liked the local mushrooms. It won't win contests, but is a very nice (and also very generously sized) dish for a vegetarian. Overall, we had a very nice time here, though we didn't think that the food overall was quite as good as the best places we enjoyed on our vacation. If the view is spectacular during the day, then that probably tips it over the edge. But we still enjoyed our meal. Mahalo!
