While this restaurants location at the Ritz in Kapalua is certainly beautiful and lends itself to special occasions, the food itself is ok, but you’d expect much better for the exorbitant prices. Wine prices are outrageous, 300% higher than other restaurants. Hard to find reason to return, lots of other great restaurants on west side.

Unbeatable location and atmosphere. Service for a 5 star resort was good but not great compared to other nearby locations such as Merriman’s.

Food was horrible and overpriced for the quality of food served. The prawns we ordered were either undercooked or old. Not fresh. The rest of the food was meh. For being the primary restaurant of the Ritz and the prices you pay, I would expect a lot better. Very disappointing.

We were pretty underwhelmed with The Banyan Tree. The service was okay, but not great. The ambiance is lovely; it is a beautiful resort, to be sure. And the food was just okay, not nearly worth what they charge. We were there celebrating my wife's birthday, hoping for a nice romantic dinner. Initially, we were seated inside with a large group of loud customers. I asked to be reseated in a quieter location, and we were then seated outside, which was quite nice. We ordered the grilled octopus, which was like trying to eat a tire. I could hardly cut or chew through it. I sent it back. We also had the Coconut Red Curry Seafood. It had a great curry flavor but was sparse on ingredients, not nearly all that was listed on the menu...for almost $80! We shared that dish and called it a night. There are some really great restaurants in the area that would be worth a visit, but this is certainly not one of them. The customer service at the resort is second to none, but at The Banyan Tree, this is certainly not the case. Off to Mama's Fish House for some really excellent dining!
