The food for the Valentine’s Day dinner was mediocre—it did not match my expectations for the event, particularly since then venue is very nice. In contrast, the food for the breakfast buffet was quite good! The scrambled eggs were delicious, as was the build-your-own omelette—go for the Portuguese sausage!

The Valentine's Day buffet was absolutely incredible - I was looking for a place that was offering seafood and at least one potato dish, some of my wife's favourite foods, and Naupaka delivered! We arrived about half an hour before our reservation and were invited to check out the property. There were hula lessons happening, then a Polynesian dance group, and then live music. The variety of food was great! The poke was the best I've ever had, the steak, while all cooked medium or more, was tender and juicy, and there was enough variety that almost anybody would find something they'd fall in love with, and the dessert selection - which included fresh chocolate covered strawberries - was enough to tempt you away from filling up on just entrees. My wife, who hates coffee, wants to give a special shoutout to the mocha mousse, which she snuck out a second of to save for later!

Ono was overcooked. Dry. Filet mignon was mediocre. Slowest service I've ever had. Reservation at 5:30, didn't get out until 7:45...

Raven was attentive and engaging. Food on the Christmas Eve was bland, lukewarm and not presented in a pleasing manner. The mocktail I had with dinner was the best part of the meal. The desserts were ok. Eating on the lanai was great, as I could hear the live music in Shutters. Raven was a great server. He was friendly and engaging.

Overall, a great experience! I found the chicken linguine Alfredo slightly too bland and the vanilla custard whipped topping slightly too sweet, but the crab stuffed salmon was amazing as was the poke and beef! My passion fruit martini was super tasty and the red wine was nice. A little pricey but overall, a decent value. Service was great from hostess to server to buffet attendant. Would definitely recommend!

Fairly expensive, but we figured that. All the food was well prepared with good presentation. But the fillet medallion was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned.
