    Beautiful property, nice live music during Mothers Day brunch. Buffet with quite a variety of items. Food was very good as was table service. Buffett area very tight so it was difficult to maneuver around with all the people there. And was very expensive. My sons wanted to surprise their Mom with a bottle of champagne and had a hard time getting anyone to call them back before the event which was disappointing for a high end resort who should have very high level of customer service. Overall a very nice experience though.

    Jason was our service person and he was terrific, warm, welcoming, and helpful with a few menu requests. Cocktails were wonderful, we had a relaxing time enjoying them and the beautiful sunset. The pace of service allowed us time to catch up with friends, but not feel like we were lagging. Food was truly delicious. After dining here so many times over the years, this is still one of our absolute favorites for ambiance, service, and food!

    Our waiter, Jason, was superb. The food was not. I had shrimp and rib-eye kebabs which were tasty, but way overcooked and dry. Zucchini chips were really good and quite unusual. The blueberry cheesecake dessert was superb.

    Reservation made for lunch at HaLani, which was not open, nor disclosed in the several reservation reminders. Directed by a sign to Ha Bar. My guest ordered a salad with added shrimp (3) which arrived without dressing. My $33.00 Shrimp Caesar had 3 shrimps, a half bowl of salad and “torn foccacia” replaced with grocery store type croutons. While I have dined at HaLani many times for both dinner and lunch this was a very disappointing meal.
