    Food was the best we had on the island. We came multiple nights during our trip. Try the tuna and ask for Cody to be your server!

    They lied about being open for lunch even after we called. They were closed and made us sit at a bar with a limited menu. Very disappointing

    Amazing food and atmosphere. As vegetarians, they are very accommodating! Wait staff super friendly. We are going back a second time on this visit.

    We were very dissapointed because halani used to be our favorite restaurant on the island. They recently changed the menu to Mediterranean. It’s not family friendly anymore with the food options. The Westin already has a Mediterranean option on the island. Very disappointed with new menu.

    This was the third time we’d been. The salad was bitter and was supposed to have pita chips with sumac. It didn’t so I asked about them and they said since I had a shellfish allergy I could have the pita chips so they brought me tri- colored tortilla chips! It was unbelievable. How about they tell me when I order so I’d order something else! Overall disappointing

    We tried the bread balloon, cauliflower, zucchini chips, pizza, and kabobs. Bread balloon and zucchini chips were excellent, and every dish was at least good. Service was very friendly, and the place, with its relaxed open air feel and direct access to the hotel grounds, was lovely.

    What a wonderful oasis. We chose to be seated outside and are so glad we did. It was a perfect evening and we were seated at a cozy table for two. The service was impeccable and everything we ordered was incredibly good.

    I found a large piece of plastic in my loco moco. The restaurant handled it in a typical high-end manner—the manager came out to apologize and even removed the dish from the bill. However, the plastic was quite sharp, which left me feeling uneasy. My throat feels a bit sore, making me wonder if I accidentally swallowed another piece, though I really hope I didn’t. After discovering the plastic, I lost my appetite and didn’t feel like eating anymore, so it wasn’t the most pleasant experience. I hope this improves in the future. Other than that, the atmosphere, taste, and service were all very satisfying.
