The scallop was one of the best preparations I've ever had. Just perfect. The Kanpachi crudo was good but a little underwhelming and not as complex as it could've been and the Kanpachi entree was slightly overcooked and therefore a disappointment. It's a fantastic restaurant with great service but I think we might've caught them on an off night.

It took an hour and 40 min for our mains to come. We asked they be boxed up because no one acknowledged us or apologized. For $150 per person we were absolutely appalled, not a 5 star experience at all.

Our dinning experience was exceptional. We booked it last minute at the recommendation from a waitress in another restaurant. She suggested a drink at the on site bar called The Bird Cage before dinner. We are planning another visit next year. Love every aspect of it. Ann was our fantastic server. Thank you for a great birthday celebration.

Sadly, this was not good. And it's been getting consistently worse over the last few years, until it culminated into this most recent meal. Which makes me sad, because this was one of my favorite restaurants on Maui. We had the tortellini appetizer, which was very good. We also had the Hamachi appetizer, which was good, but tiny. Then, it went downhill from there. The lamb was a blob of fat (even for lamb) and the meat parts were basically raw and flavorless. (And I am known for liking my meat very rare). The fish was cooked about 3 times too long and dry and awful. We didn't really eat either, yet nobody even asked us why we didn't eat our meals. (The waitress was generally nice and competent, but we didn't see her very often, and the secondary wait staff didn't really ask). Desserts were so-so. Not great (we didn't finish them either), but they were OK. So, very disappointing for a meal that costs you $500+ for two people. Mai Tais are great there. The setting is awesome, especially at sunset. But for what this costs (even by Maui standards) it just doesn't deliver anymore. I really wish they went back to a regular a-la-carte menu with the old food options they had. The menu hasn't changed in a long time as far as I can tell, and there really aren't that many good options on there. The view is still outstanding and so is the vibe of the hotel. But with this getting worse and worse, and with the Bird Cage also having changed their menu, it has, unfortunately, taken a turn for the worse :-(
