CanoeHouse

Had a wonderful dinner and excellent service. Beautiful sunset..we love that restaurant!

Fantastic!

Upscale comfortable elegance, open-air, fabulous views with outstanding food and service. Pricey, but worth it for a special event, birthday, etc...
We'll be back!

The food , service and ambiance was amazing! We will be back! Mahalo for an amazing evening.

Amazing ambiance, delicious and creative food, pricey but lovely. Great for a special occasion!

Our first time back since covid. We felt safe and welcome. The service was awesome and the variety of tastes was fantastic. Best meal we had on the island

Always excellent view and service great! A little high priced for what you get- but always delicious!

Great experience! Incredible ambience totally oceanfront at sunset!
Wonderful food, really unique good choices!
Great service!
Loved it!

Really enjoyed the whole evening. Very much appreciated all the Canoe House has done to keep diners save. Good distance between tables, staff all masked and gloved. And of course outstanding food and service. Great special occasion venue.

First time out to the Mauni Lani's Canoe House since the renovations. The food was awesome, very wonderful menu of lusciousness! Lovely ambiance outdoors with the waves crashing, made for a beautiful night out.

Food and atmosphere was amazing. Our only negative part of the evening was that we felt like our service wasn’t as spectacular because we were locals. We are hope others don’t have that same experience.

Incredible sunset view, impeccable service and great food, who could ask for anything more?

BEST PLACE TO ENJOY A DINNER LIKE THE GOOD OLD TIMES BEFORE THE PANDEMIC! I GO THERE REGULARLY AND PRETEND ALL IS OKAY FOR AN EVENING WHICH HELPS!!!!!!!

The reinvented Canoe House offers a delicious and modern menu upgrade of food with a refreshed decor and the same lovely ambiance. This was our second visit since the recent reopening. We like that the menu is broad and ever changing. We were happy to see a few of our favorites remained, and we enjoyed them for a second time. I hope that the potato dish will remain on the menu. I missed the amazing crab, but found delicious alternatives. The Ahi, the Kompachi, the steak...we loved all of the small bites we shared. The wine list is excellent and surprisingly fairly priced.

We enjoyed the live music; however, our only negative was that the musician seemed to be accustomed to playing in an atmosphere with audience engagement, as she talked to the diners. The talking isn't really appropriate for this atmosphere.

Fabulous meal and wine; and ambience is unbeatable!

Fresh Fish, Kauai Shrimp, Lobster, pull apart bread, and edamame were all delicious. Make your reservation for 6ish so you can see the sunset and enjoy the beach/ocean view.

The food was very good! Service was fast and friendly. Great dining experience.

My daughter and I were looking for A drink with a beautiful sunset view and that’s exactly what we got!😍🌅 Service was wonderful our waitress was very nice. The food was very pricey and not very good at all but we just took it as a $300 sunset.

The renovations at the hotel and Canoe House are outstanding!

New menu and service fantastic!

Couldn’t have been a better evening..... all the way round!

Best restaurant on the Big Island! Also, best restaurant compared to the top restaurants on Maui and Kauai. The food is inventive and perfectly prepared.

Spouses birthday.

Currently, Canoe House offers the best fine-dining experience on the Big Island. The location is ocean-front. The food, beverages and service are consistently outstanding. The executive chef, Matt, is a true culinary master. All of the dishes coming out of his kitchen are fantastic.

Beautiful sunset views. The food was delicious and the service was great. We will be back!

Great food, fantastic cocktails and an awesome staff. Expensive (for a normal person), but that's to be expected.

Dining outside in a beautiful location couldn’t be better anywhere else.

Great experience... will return

Service was very good attentive. Food was excellent. Very nice and my favorite high end restaurant!

Beautiful view, excellent service and beyond amazing food! I tried the pre fix menu for the evening and it was so delicious. I can’t wait to go back

Lovely, rare tropical treat! Very special and romantic.

We love inn beach restaurant. It is so nice to sit and relax and feel the luxury and sounds of the ocean. The special meals make your tastebuds tingle. The staff are so professional and you feel wanted and treasured as a guest. Thank you

Friday evening, my wife and I had another awesome experience at Canoe House. I ordered the absolutely delicious five course tasting menu: oysters, radish salad, prawns, steak, dessert. The Canoe House offers the best ocean-front fine dining experience on the island. The food, atmosphere, service, cocktails and wine list are exceptional!

The menu for Canoe House is not posted on the Auberge Mauna Lani website but we found one on OpenTable and it matched the menu from our previous two visits to the Canoe House. I was looking forward to the roasted tenderloin of beef and was very disappointed when on arrival and getting the menu finding that the menu had changed and it was no longer on the menu. We will probably not return until they have an accurate menu posted on the website. I had the Kona Kampachi (3rd time now) and my wife had the shrimp and both were excellent. Many of the items on the menu come with no or minimal vegetables, or rice or potatoes, and there is nothing listed on the menu to get them as a side dish, but if you ask you can get rice and fingerling potatoes. I understand that restaurants are doing their best during the COVID-19 but I would expect better from this very high end restaurant. I would however highly recommend the Canoe House for its excellent cuisine. To get into the hotel to gain access to the restaurant there is a set of barriers. Press the button on the intercom on the set closest to the hotel and security will let you into the parking lot. Proceed to the hotel entrance for a temperature check and wrist band before going to the restaurant.

fabulous meal and setting!

Great food, great view and great staff. loved the presentation

Might be the best place for dinner on the coast!!

Chris our server was terrific. The limited menu provided oversalted food and an uninteresting selection. The bread was not worth the salted calories. . Please bring back your old menu. As important, please bring back the old Mai Tai’s. The new recipe is virtually undrinkable. The Canoe House used to have the best Mai Tais on the. island. Music was awful and like fingers on a chalkboard.

A great setting with very good service. The food was outstanding. It is great to have such a good fine dining restaurant available during this trying time with so many places closed.

Setting can’t be beat. First time dining there since the change by Auberge Hotels. Service began well but there was a long lapse between salad and main meal, maybe 25-30 minutes. There was no touchback to the table to check on us while waiting for our entrees. Food arrived lukewarm so we assumed waitstaff got distracted or forgot to check the readiness of the order. More specifically the Roasted Hearts of Palm salad was bland in seasoning, Hanger Steak was served closer to rare than medium rare, and Pot au creme dessert was odd in presentation with a very liquid layer under a foam top, topping a small amount of custard on the bottom of the cup.
I had the 5
Course Matt and Yuka’s Menu , which I enjoyed and would give 5 stars,
But each of my 3 guests did not get a 5 star dining experience in one or more aspects of the entire meal.

Loved everything about this dinner - the food, drinks, service and view!

Always a great time. Staff (especially support staff) is amazing, great COVID regulations in place. We will be back super soon!!
