They were our favorite for that comfortable go-to place while we there. When on vacation in a resort like The Ritz, it's wonderful to find a place that you know you can drop into and have great food that isn't over the top at the end of a packed day. I can't honestly say enough about the quality of their food and freshness, and how much we are aligned with the chef's taste in cuisine. Their clams are off the charts so we had them many times. My personal go-to was the Melon Salad. Sometimes I just needed a light clean salad on a hot day and this one was absolutely perfect! We also had their Ono and Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi, and the Beet Salad, and other dishes that were just fantastic. We also really like their casual golf course ambiance. Yes they are pricey, but it's Maui and it's Kapalua and every dish was better than solid so we felt they were absolutely perfect! Thanks again all for wonderful meals every single time!

My cousins ordered cocktails and our server was so kind to let them know if they weren't happy with it, they could exchange it which they did. The first course of delicious appetizers was the Caesar salad with anchovies and the Kahuku Sweet Corn Agnolotti with Keahole lobster! That was so buttery delicious and small enough to make you want more! The homemade taro rolls with butter, oil and honey was a nice accompaniment. Our second course was just right portion wise and savory. My cousin even said he was full, which never happens since he loves to eat! We enjoyed the 48-hour Wagyu Prime Rib which was so tender and easily cut with a butter knife. Yummy dollops of potato purée and broccolini were beautifully placed around the meat. My other cousin enjoyed his Shrimp Scampi with fresh house made tagliatelle, capers, Kula tomato and basil. The dessert course was a great way to end our meal. I got the Pineapple Upside Down cake with a scoop of Ube Ice Cream, biscotti crumble and Kula Rum Caramel. My cousin's panna cotta was made with local Maui Kuia Chocolate and chantilly cream with a tuile that had light sprinkle of black pepper. Overall, a wonderful experience and only $79 for the 3 courses! We will definitely be back.

So of course we ate at Cane & Canoe nearly every night of our stay. We also ate here for breakfast one day. For the price, I think it's very overrated. But here's what I think are good. - the bar menu has more casual food (burgers taste good, fries are good) and for staters, they give you gourmet popcorn - the dining room has yummy bread starters with honey, whipped butter, and olive oil From the dining room, I really liked their jidori chicken!! more than their steak. Their pineapple upside down cake was yummy and warm too. Their normal price seems really steep though and the views aren't that good. As for service, all of our servers were friendly and made small talk with us, and delivered every plate with a smile. Overall solid 4/5, 3.5 if I had to pay full price.

Omg if you're in Maui you must visit this restaurant. We went on July 3rd and what an excellent…read moreexperience it was. Definitely make a reservation as this plays gets rocking in the evening. I was only able to get the bar seating and we thought this was going to be bad. Quite the opposite, the bar facing out to the ocean is the way to go. The evening breeze (they open up three sides of the restaurant ) was simply put amazing. The service was impeccable, the food and the drinks amazing. Probably up there with one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. Oh and did I say free valet (tip them well, they are busting their you know what to get your car). Okay so only one thing that was just weird. They had this dessert I believe it was called a chocolate purse. Just strange to eat, so that was my only thumbs down.

My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. We arrived a little early and after we…read morechecked in we were directed towards the outside patio bar for cocktails while we waited. It was raining on and off but we grabbed Mai Tais and found a spot under an umbrella. We enjoyed the views and chatted until our table was ready. Once our table was ready we were promptly seated. Our server was Barry. He was very nice and helped answer any questions we had. I am gluten free and he told me what items were gluten free or could be made gluten free. I had many options to choose from. We had shrimp as the appetizer and both my husband and I had the macadamia crusted fish. Everything was excellent. For dessert we had the crem brûlée. Normally I'm not a fan but this one was very good! They even brought out a nice little s'mores dessert for our celebration. For the most part every table has a beautiful view. Outdoor patio is first come first serve and I believe a different menu as well.

Amazing burger! Wow it was one of the most memorable burger I've had so far…read more Granted that I'm also working at The Ritz Carlton (at different location) but seriously the burger I've had was bomb! I've had the Aloha Burger cooked rare with fries. The wagyu patty blend was juicy, delicious and cooked to perfection according to what I love, little bloody. The pineapple, sweet & spicy aioli and the buns were so well complimenting each other. The fries were awesome and so tasty as well. The ambiance was beautiful right by the beach and very casual. Wonderful and delightful service by Miyako, She was kind, cordial and it made it even better that I now working together with their previous chef George Vanyi. But seriously, 5 stars.

Bartender was good but we had to wait about 15 minutes for our drinks after paying upfront because she was having to change out three kegs by herself with no manager or dude to help her out; evidently management at this Ritz-Carlton property. 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. The Mai Tai was good when finally received but I was frankly ready to cancel my order. Wife's chocolate coco peanut butter drink was a great dessert first drink but took forever to make. Bartender did apologize for the wait but a little late. I don't mind if not busy but the bartender had to do it all.

The Dark and Stormy, which I love at other places, was actually horrible. I asked if the drink could be replaced. I said I would rather have the mule unless the Dark and Stormy could be made right. The drink just came back the same on the second try. I didn't drink it. So, all in all, $40 of the $85 bill down the drain per se. If you pick the right things, you might get lucky.

We…read moreordered a variety of things, including the short rib wontons, Alaskan roll, miso-glazed butter fish. Good: - they were very accommodating with setting up our reservations. We originally had called in for a reservation for 12 and they scheduled us for a 7pm table. We had some of our party not able to join us so I called them back and asked if we were a party of 9, could we be seated sooner? They opened at 5 and we requested to have an earlier dinner appointment. The hostess was quick to accommodate and gave us a 5pm reservation. - I felt that the servers were very attentive our entire meal, always making sure to get any extra plates out of the way and refilling waters often Bad: - it was quite overpriced. I understand that this is a tourist-centered area, but I cannot fathom paying $40+ for pasta... the serving size for most of our food was disappointing to say the least. The Alaskan roll had barely any fish and the rolls were not very big. It was falsely advertised to us by our waiter that a roll could easily feed 6-7 people. Please refer to the pictures below to reference serving size. - the food itself was not up to standard, especially for the outrageous price we paid for it all. The short rib wontons... first of all, I recommend Sansei changes the name of this dish because are a far cry from wontons. They did not taste good and there was barely any filling in them. The Alaskan roll tasted like only rice and cucumber. The cooked salmon was dry and came with a single jumbo shrimp... - our main waiter was rude, he did not seem to have much patience, giving us attitude and tone that did not feel appropriate. Conclusion: Overall, we were disappointed with our experience at Sansei. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, visitor or local, and we will not be coming back.
