Ok so we are staying here and we ate dinner and breakfast at this place. Our dinner was not bad. They do jot give you much. I will have to say the calamari was excellent. Now to why there is a 1 star. Breakfast! DO NOT GO HERE FOR BREAKFAST!! We did the buffet because breakfast service was available. It was $47 a person for a mediocre buffet. The sausage links were very well done. By well done I mean cooked to jerky almost. The cook did a good job and was nice. He crisped my mushy potatoes for me which was nice. We decided we would go and make a waffle and share it with no way to butter it before syrup so we had to find a syrup bowl. Here is the teal bad part.... When we came back someone was sitting at our table. Not even joking. We were just standing in the middle holding our waffles when we finally saw the waiter who said oh I thought you left. We had not even been here for 10-15 minutes total and he just gave me coffee before I left! We had to wait for them to clean another table, then wait for silverware and napkins, then ask for drinks again. A poorly run Embassy Suites beats this buffet hands down. So if you eat here and go for seconds, that should be normal for a buffet, leave one person at the table! Never doing breakfast here again. read more

I ended up at Coral Reef for the first time this Mother's Day after my other half decided to make a reservation, and I'm glad we did. I honestly didn't even know this spot existed, but it turned out to be a great place to celebrate a special occasion. The setup was nice -- breakfast items in one room, and everything else in another -- and even though we were seated during the later half of the brunch, there was still an overload of options with items being constantly refilled. They had sushi, prime rib, crab legs, desserts, breakfast favorites, and plenty more. I did manage to snag a few crab legs before they ran out (such a bummer!), and I even left some behind for the next person thinking they'd get refilled... lesson learned, lol. But everything I did try was delicious. My family and I had a really enjoyable time. Service was nice and friendly. Between the variety, the quality, and the relaxed resort setting, it ended up being a lovely way to spend Mother's Day. I'd definitely recommend checking out Coral Reef if you're looking for a spot to celebrate something special. Plus, the view from the lobby upstairs is beautiful. Definitely stop there on y read more

Gorgeous view from this good restaurant in the hotel resort. Tables for any size party, we had a good experience here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner several times. The breakfast buffet was all fresh with a lot of choices, including an omelette bar, for every member of the family. Listen to the water fountains nearby over the Koi ponds for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner which was so nice. Service was right on top of things as we enjoyed our time together with relaxed meals. The restaurant fit so well into the views, good weather, and evening lighting around us. read more

Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! There is one pasta in the DMV area that I crave! And now I'll be craving one in Maui! I chose the Sheraton resort because of the food and food choices nearby. Coral Reef was on the property so since they had lamb chops on the menu, I booked this. So glad I did! This dinner did not disappoint! The view of the resort was nice, being able to sit outside is always a great experience making the ambiance refreshing and relaxing. Service was excellent, server was quick, responsive and welcoming. Let's get into it! Plancha Octopus- Delicious and not chewy! Loved it! Chefs special (not always on the menu) Lobster Pasta - OMG this dish was soooooooooo good! I mean good good, I could have had this everyday while I was in Maui; honestly it was that good! Still thinking of this meal! Lamb Chops - Delicious! Chocolate Cake - Yummy! Kudos to them for accommodating the Birthday we celebrated! Well done! Highly recommend if you're visiting Maui. read more

We were lucky enough to have Coral Reef as one of the restaurants located on our resort. It's the perfect indoor/outdoor mix, that's serving up fantastic food offerings! We chose Coral Reef as my pre-birthday meal destination and I'm sure glad that we did! Her lobster pasta was LOADED with lobster and my lamb chops were thick, tender and had just enough marbling (fat) to add to the flavor. Service was great and my complementary bday dessert was delicious as well. Sitting outside on a warm November evening in Maui added to the ambiance that rounded out this 5 star dinner! read more

I went because of the Ube pancake picture attached to yelp link. Turned out it's a hotel restaurant that is closed and now a buffet. So, major bust and never got my Ube pancake fix while in HI. Ended up at Kehei diner and it was solid- but no Ube pancakes. read more

The only way this breakfast buffet is worth $47 is because you have the $100/day dining credit via Costco travel. There's a decent selection of food items which is why it's getting 3 stars and the omelette bar is fantastic! The fruit was a mix of not ripe enough and just right (the pineapple was hard as a rock and light colored - not what you expect while in Hawaii). Everyone we interacted with outside of our server was so hospitable and friendly, but the gentleman who helped us rarely checked in on us; brought us waters, asked if we wanted any drinks just once. It seemed he was more focused on wrangling the pigeons (guard your food, it's part of the charm though!). We got a table outside looking out on the koi pond, so it was a nice relaxing breakfast, but hardly worth $47. read more

Sat down for a beautiful, sunset dinner outdoors,. What can I say? The service was excellent and the food was excellent as well. Had the beet salad it was exceedingly fresh and tasty. All of the veggies and vinaigrette complimented each other. The butternut squash raviolis were cooked perfectly. The star of the show was the braised short ribs. They were so soft and tender. The gravy/sauce and the mashed potatoes paired excellently with the meat. The broccoli was basically blanched. They were still very crunchy. I'm not a fan of overcooked vegetables like most people. This place is definitely a must go if you are in the area and want a nice dinner. read more

Warmly greeted by the entire hostess crew. Nelson did a splendid job with recommendations and tending to our table regularly. The Citrus Beet Salad and Miso Caesar Salad were excellent starters. Nice presentation and the miso was a pleasant twist to your traditional Caesar dressing. I think I now prefer it, actually! Many of us went for the Pan Seared Kona Kampachi for our entree since it was a unique dish to the islands. The flakey, moist filet went nicely on a bed of risotto and bok choy. We all agreed it was an excellent choice. And although I didn't get to sample it, the Orecchiette was enjoyed, as well. All in all, the entrees were can't miss, IMO. For dessert, we had the From Upcountry and the Chocolate Cake. The Upcountry was another unique dish not to be passed up. Don't get me wrong, the cake was perfect, as well, but it is still chocolate cake. We found the Coral Reef via OpenTable, as it was a bit of an unknown since it is hidden at the rear of the Sheraton Maui (versus Whaler's Village.) Don't let that fool you! This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Ka'anapali! Service, ambiance, and quality -- all first class. read more

My hubby and I stayed at the Sheraton while vacationing in Maui and had meal credits to the restaurants at the resorts. We decided to get fancier(ish) dinner one night and dine at the Coral Reef. The fork-tender short ribs w/ mash spoke to me, so it was not a hard decision for me to decide on what I wanted. The hubby decided that he wanted to try something different, so he ordered the fried whole fish. We were also pretty hungry, so we decided to order a starter of fried calamari strips. The calamari came out first and was served with a citrus-ey dipping sauce. I enjoyed the fried calamari itself - perfectly fried and crispy with just enough tenderness and chew without being rubber-bandy. I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce for the calamari, however. It was maybe some yuzu-based sauce that left me longing for some good old-fashion cocktail sauce. The short rib was incredibly tender and flavorful. The parsnip potato mash was fine - I think I would have preferred just plan old mashed portatoes. My husband was, however, taken aback by his meal. To be fair, he got exactly what he ordered. A fried whole fish - eyeballs and tails and all. And it was market price, which at the time was $60. He didn't quite know how to tackle his meal, so he spent it picking fish meat off of bones and skin and didn't end up enjoying his meal. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake to share. It came with a side of vanilla ice cream and bits of candied macadamia nuts. It was good and I liked the candied nuts, but it was definitely overpriced at $14. Our waiter was quite friendly and our seat was facing the outside, so we had a cool view. During our dinner, we also had a fire dancer performer set up and do his set right in front of us. Not too shabby. All in all, it was fine. I preferred the food (and price) from the casual spot at the hotel. read more

Went over for the ube mochi pancakes. The view from the outdoor seating area is great and the atmosphere is very pleasant in the morning. The mochi pancakes had a high ratio of rice flour, making for very chewy pancakes. The ube flavor was very prominent and strong, and the deep purple color is real nice to look at. The pineapple pancakes had a nice sour & refreshing punch. Because they're mochi pancakes, however, they're quite heavy and rich, and it gets a bit tedious to eat after a while. A stack of 2 pancakes would've been more than enough. read more

We are currently staying at the Sheraton so we decided to eat at this restaurant on the property. First, we got to the check-in table and asked for our table. There were three hosts joking around and ignoring us. We had to ask multiple times for a table before they gave us a table. We were seated down and noticed that they had left their Christmas dinner menu. We dined the day after Christmas. The staff hurriedly took the menu away, stating "it's not like you would have bought that anyway. It's too expensive." Overall the staff seemed disgruntled. Food was actually good but the service left a very sour taste in our mouth. Server also probably checked in on us maybe once the entire meal. read more

The food was delicious. Service was great, Julius was fantastic. The ambiance is great.

Glad they have a vegan option for main course & it was delicious. The sauce for the mushroom pasta was very good. Would love to see a vegan appetizer as well. Service was on the slower side but appreciate they brought out the kid's meal early for the toddler at our table. Beautiful venue, especially if you're seated outside. Made a reservation but seemed like there were plenty of seats available. read more

Tell me you're Filipino without telling me you're Filipino! Ordering the Ube mochi pancake at Coral Reef in Sheraton Maui & Spa.

Every single thing was AMAZING !!! I wish I knew the name of the salad dressing on the Caesar salad - it is the best I've ever had!!! My Sea Bass was presented so well. Our waiter was so kind to us !!! read more

Coral Reef for dinner at the Sheraton Maui is not good. I don't recommend it for dinner. The Breakfast buffet at Coral Reef is wonderful, however, so make it a breakfast only stop!! Just a heads up! read more

Ordered $65 ribeye steak "special" and baby back ribs appetizer. Both were nearly tasteless except for too much salt on ribs. although ribs were salty. Steak was tough and if it was a ribeye, it was on par with what one would expect at a cheap buffet. Far and away the most disappointing meal I've had at a supposedly upscale restaurant. Old fashioned and server were good and bill was reduced $10 - but left 1/3 of the steak on the plate. read more

Great food and service. We ordered a miso Caesar salad and lobster pasta. The salad was huge, and tasty. The lobster pasta was very tasty. It's an open air restaurant so you get a beautiful view of the ocean plus fire dance show on Sundays. read more

This amazing breakfast is located on the ground floor of the Sheraton hotel. The entrance of the Sheraton alone has an amazing view of black rock snorkeling and cliff jumping. This restaurant is nuzzled into the pathways leading out to it and has a beautiful koi pond. The ube pancakes were the best I ever had. It's on the priced side but worth it for the location and access to the beach after. The staff were nice, don't forget to wear a shirt over your bikini, they won't let you in without it! read more

My party dined here for breakfast and were seated pretty quickly. The seating is an open area with views of the koi pond and the lawn. I ordered the loco moco which was delicious and the crispy onions on top added a great texture to each bite. My mom ordered the açaí bowl which was fresh and yummy. And my brother ordered the burrito which was very good. Overall if you are staying at the Sheraton I would recommend going here but I wouldn't wouldn't go out of my way to visit. read more

One of our favorite places in Maui. Sig was great!! Drinks were amazing. Beautiful view of the sunset over the water

Vacationing from California, we were up early looking for a breakfast spot for Fathers Day! We found the Corral reef at the Sheraton in Kaanapali. We valeted at the hotel and they let us know to get our ticket stamped for validation for free parking! We were the first one there. The hostess sat us outside over looking the koi pond, and what a beautiful ocean view! Our server Adolfo was attentive and right on time with our much needed coffee. He was super hospitable and welcoming! We had the brioche toast and my husband had the loco moco. Food was 8/10 nothing spectacular. But the service and view made up! Will be back soon. read more

Atmosphere is wonderful. Seating was delayed even with a reservation. Main dishes were great. Served graciously by the manager, I think. We had short ribs & chicken. Starter might have been good if it had been served timely. Unfortunately, fried calamari isnt great if it has time to rest (45 mins conservatively). Drinks, meh. The server delivered the bill expeditiously though, so there is that. Love the resort hotel though. read more

Absolutely fantastic experience outside as the sun set. It's a bit removed from the ocean but you can see it. Drinks were great. The half-chicken was the best I've ever tasted. Beet salad was creative and delicious. Antony was attentive and quick to refill the water glass. Dessert was spectacular, and prices were reasonable, making this the best value for a meal in Maui and definitely one of my favorite dining experiences on the island overall. Check this place out! read more

We ate at the Coral Reef for dinner and found it to be full of amazing surprises!! We had never been there, so we had no expectations except that we could see the ocean. The valet parking was free for those coming to dine there. We were seated outside ata table near the grass area, which was pleasant, but it became phenomenal when a young man did the torch lighting ceremony right near us, followed by a drummer and a fire dancer!!! I didn't even need the food to be great after that, but it was! The best thing on the menu is the fresh branzino (if you can get it.) The presentation was beautiful, and the taste was terrific!! I had the carbonara pasta, which was tasty but heavy for me. Honestly, it was such a fun evening that we can't wait to return!! read more

Spend your evening here! Such a beautiful atmosphere! We had drinks upstairs first, we loved the patio. Service was great. They even brought a pillow for one of our party members as she thought the seats were very hard. Loved the short ribs, fork tender and so good! Lobster roll was delicious, on the smaller side, but understandable as it was on the appetizer menu. Beet salad was so so good! Unexpected combination but it worked so well. View of the beautiful pool. If you have kids in your party, they might want to check it out. They also had games to play. Side note- the luau at the Sheraton is the best! If you're in the area make sure you check it out! read more

It was such a dreamy spot; we watched the sunset dip into the ocean while gentle guitar music floated on the trade winds.
