    Our dinner reservation here was a highlight - private, incredible food, cocktails and wine list. This was our final dinner on our honeymoon and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Highly recommend the braised short ribs and their take on bananas foster.

    We have eaten at Ritz Carleton restaurants before, so we expected A+++ and we were not disappointed. Charles, our server was friendly and helpful. The food, wine selections and service were exceptional and the dishes were innovative and very tasty. The ambiance was also fabulous with ocean views and Molokai as our dinner background. The restaurant is located through a maze of hallways but staff members assisted us three times to help us find our way.

    Always nice to see a restaurant. Actually getting better! We have been coming to Banyan tree regularly for many years, this is the first time with a white tablecloth, and a new table Light, looks very nice! Very nice preparation on the fish, especially, start out with ahi poke great bartender, very nice service, and everyone is very friendly. I would also say that the prices are very reasonable compared to most other white tablecloth or high end restaurants on maui way. Good work you guys

    Got to get away from the kids to celebrate our anniversary. Location is at The Ritz- Carlton, very pretty restaurant. Valet parking is free. Had a side as my appetizer which was the risotto and the Arabic I balls- very good. My husband had the braised ribs and I had the fresh catch mahi. Both meals were good. I think the portion sizes were perfect and what I would expect for a high end restaurant. It was very expensive though. Nice touch of a lovely dessert for our anniversary.

    It was a gorgeous sunset and beautiful, setting along with a delicious meal. The walk from the lobby to the restaurant was quite long because I have a bad knee and stairs are not my friend.

    Terrible service. Unattentive staff, we were constantly having to waive staff down or get up ourselves. They were off with the timing of delivery of food and bought the main entrees within minutes of appetizers. Drinks took nearly 30 minutes. Not worth it, surprised from getting this at a Ritz property. We have stayed at many of their properties and their restaurants are typically reflective of their brand, especially when it comes to service.

    Amazing restaurant! The best part is we didn’t have to leave the hotel. The Banyan Tree serves delicious dinner with a relaxing atmosphere and superb customer service. The food and drink are excellent! It’s a little pricey, but we had a great experience. Best seafood curry I’ve ever had!

    Our last night in Maui. This was a beautiful restaurant in a beautiful location. The prime steak was the best we have ever had grilled to perfection. I had Maui Maui the fish of the day and it was prepared and served wonderfully. The shrimp appetizer was unique. I think you can do no wrong with anything on this menu. Next time we are in Maui, we will definitely return.

    The restaurant itself is in a great location with nice views overlooking the ocean. Service was ok - efficient, but timing needs some work (our mains came out seconds after we finished the appetizer). It may have been an off day for the food - our app was excellent, but both mains were under seasoned and the fish was flavourless because of it. The mini-donut in the banana dessert was undercooked and had raw dough in the middle.

    After two weeks with kids and the stress of a “vacation” - I took my wife out for dinner our last night. This place is nice. Indoor/outdoor - impeccable service, good food and fantastic ambiance. It’s pricy - but you’re at the Ritz, so expect that. Good quality was in the lower excellent range - not as fantastic as I would expect for the cost… but everything else makes up for that. 8/10. Would dine here again.

    The only request I had was to sit inside in either of the dining rooms. Even though there were plenty of tables available inside they sat us outside! So what’s the point in putting in a request?

    We live on Maui and this is one of our favorite restaurants. Beautiful amibance with all the orchids, great, great service and the food is fabulous. Try the snapper. Have never and I mean never had a better fish dish. I am very particular about my fish. It better be good at these prices but well worth it.

    Nice views, and it’s what you are paying for. The food was good, better than Leilani’s on the beach we went to the night before this. A little overpriced because it’s located on a nice hotel property but it’s not so special about the menu. The location of the restaurant is pretty long walk from the hotel entryway, because it’s off the back pass all the swimming pool at the bottom of the hill. Ladies with heels gonna be careful. Big plus for friendly staff and kid’s friendly environment.

    First time to visit this restaurant. Server was very nice. I was worried that the service would not be good since we were not staying at the resort as other reviews had reported. But the server was very attentive. And he did a wonderful thing to celebrate my husbands birthday. I am very appreciative of that nice gesture. The food was very good!
