No complaints whatsoever…from the moment we walked in, ordering, paying and walking out. Services were immaculate and the food was perfect and showed that the staff, and chef gave a damn about presentation, taste and customer service. Great experience

Even though my wife and I visit the Kaanapali area frequently, we had never visited the Banyan Tree at the Ritz Carlton. We had a very nice dinner overlooking the ocean atop the cliff which sits the hotel. The short ribs were the best we ever had(we don't eat fish) and along with a bottle of wine and good service we had a great experience.

Their service was lovely. And the scenery was beautiful we really enjoyed our time there. For our anniversary they surprised us with a desert at the end with a chocolate plate saying “happy anniversary”. It was very thoughtful. Thank you Banyan Tree!
