    This is a gem within the Westin. Or table was just off the beach with great sunset views. We dined on the Lobster Rolls which were generous and delicious. Service was excellent. What a great place to celebrate a birthday!!!

    Okay, it wasn't cheap, at just under USD100 for 2 drinks, one appetizer and one main, including the tip. But the setting was stunning, the server was uber-friendly and the food and libations were stellar.

    For a place to be charging from $40 to $50 for a fish dinner I expect some thought to go into the food but it was on the level of cafeteria food. No spices, no sauces and no flavor on any of the 5 entrees our group ordered.

    This is a hotel restaurant but right on the busy footpath of Kaanapali.Great sunset views over the ocean. Food was very nice, the only negative is they serve your drinks in plastic cups..I get it, being a hotel & close to pool but if you’re gonna pay $64 for a steak, $20 for wine if should fit the ambience..music, fire pit etc all very nice, plastic cups just wreaks the vibe

    After the initial drink and food order, we didn’t get offered another drink or dessert. The food was good though and the live music was good.
