This is a great spot to grab dinner if you’re staying at the Ritz! We dined here on our first night and the food was phenomenal, it’s a bit pricy but that’s to be expected and the portion sizes are generous for the entrees. For starters we got the onion dip and tuna poke and I would highly recommend both of them, probably some of the best poke we had on our trip. I got the Mahi Mahi for my entree and it was phenomenal, some of the best fish I’ve ever had. My wife got the New York strip and I thought it was fine but I think I’d recommend fish here over that. Cocktails are also good, just be prepared for a longer meal, since it’s resort dining the service can be a bit slow at times but our waitress was very friendly.

While staying at the Ritz, we had the pleasure of eating at the Banyan tree! It was such a beautiful restaurant with lots of flowers and plants everywhere and lots of photo opportunities! The food was great and filling! Some portions were a little small for the price but yummy. I think most high end restaurants are like that. As for the service, our server was the kindest. It was my birthday recently and though my birthday had already past, the server insisted on gifting me a dessert which was very yummy! This is definitely a restaurant to visit for a fancy date night or a “last day in Maui” celebration dinner.

I went here in 2023 when I was staying at the Ritz. The views are nice, and the setting of the place is cute. During the day this would be a great spot to grab a drink at the bar and see the views. The food was good. We got a mix of things to eat. We started off with the Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl and the we got the prime beef tenderloin and the banyan tree seafood curry. The staff was nice and got us a seat close to the fire pits. If you are staying around the area, give this place a try.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The 1 star is generous. Every dish ordered had a strong, unpleasant aroma which, while likely a result of a specific cooking technique, did not complement every item. The quality of the food did not justify its price by any means. Additionally, the servers were overly intrusive, making for an uncomfortable dining experience. Unfortunately, my husband and I left feeling both dissatisfied and hungry.

We had the prix fixe Christmas dinner. Food and drinks were excellent. Service was not as good as I would have expected. A few hiccups, but it was the holiday, so not totally unexpected. I know the staff was doing the best they could and appreciate their efforts.

Worst steak I have ever had at an upscale restaurant, was burnt to a char and zero seasoning, sauce, or flavor other than baked and burnt meat. Would have sent it back but would rather not completely ruin our special occasion by being that person. Over priced in every way. Not even a side included for a $100 steak. Service was friendly and seemed to be aware they were selling lame steaks as another table was also complaining about it next to us. High price on poor quality must be the new "ritz".

Dinner. Amazingly delicious food! Everything was surprisingly fantastic, we were very impressed. The service was not great. The bartender was unpleasant, the hostess was fine, the waiter was not good. But the food made up for all of this! I wish we had eaten here more often for dinner because it’s the best walkable option in the area. *They do a 20% Kama’aina

Shoutout to Nick, who was our spectacular server! The grilled octopus appetizer 5/5 Grilled to perfection, crispy on the outside with delicious garnishes. Lobster gnocchi 4/5 Delicious sauce, huge chunks of lobster. My partner ordered this, he didn't really like the amount of tomatoes (a lot) but it was tasty Mahi Mahi 5/5 Grilled to perfection, cooked perfectly. The mashed purple potato and broccolini were delicious. The desserts were delicious! I forgot what they were called Beautiful location and ambience.

Having traveled extensively for business for many years I have pretty modest expectations for restaurants on property at a hotel. That said, the Banyan Tree is a pleasant exception. The staff is exceptional from the moment you step inside and did a fantastic job serving us. The menu is not extensive but is all appealing. They also have a very nice wine list which we enjoyed as well. The ambiance is fantastic. It's essentially an indoor/outdoor setup with views of the golf course and a beautiful breeze that seems to never stop. I will say it I s quite expensive but everything is in Maui. That said, I recommend.

Sooo...just walked out of Banyan Tree Ritz Carlton Kapalua...had reservations for 2 months..knew exactly what we were getting in to...have been to multiple restaurants with arguably the same caliber not bragging just setting the stage..omg..walked in no one was there red flag number one...sat down no service...red flag number 2...saw the menu which I thought was a sampling online it was not...if you want to pay 32.00 for Brussel sprouts go for it 3 items in each category max...no choice no options over priced service sub par...we walked out of a restuatant with 3 tables sat of 20...hmmmm tells a story for sure...do not go to BNyan Tree...we went back to our hotel and had an amazing dinner...avoid this location disappointing is an understatement but we saved a ton walking out...trust me

Cozy restaurant with ocean views. Ordered the whole fish and that was definitely a highlight. Largest portion of whole fish I've ever seen though so keep that in mind if you don't usually eat too much. Server was attentive and kind but after being asked if we were celebrating anything when booking the reservation, having it mentioned at the hostess stand upon check in and mentioned again by the server, was surprised that they didn't do anything special to honor it. Otherwise a good experience!

Cozy upscale dining with the convenience of being a quick stroll from your room. The Banyan Tree provides that perfect "on-vacation-dinner" feel. Beautifully decorated with many plants and tropical flowers. The restaurant is open to the hotel and provides wonderful views of the ocean. Playful touches like unique, kitschy glassware added to the ambiance. The grilled octopus was divine! I ordered the Mai Tai and loved it! Even my kids beverages came in the cool glasses rather than the typical plastic cup and straw. My 9 year old son can put away an adult sized steak, and he really loved the 7 ounce tenderloin. (Said it was his 2nd favorite steak ever) I enjoyed the lobster gnocchi which actually had chunks of lobster mixed in alongside the pasta. Our server was great and made me realize that not everyone can be a good server. He was awesome! Another great touch was we were there on a night when they had Hawaiian cultural performers stop by (it was a Sat.) We were treated to about 10-15 minutes of drumming and a fire dancer. Awesome! Great food, but things like amazing service, beautiful decor, entertainment, and convenience of being right on-site make it worth while.

This place was excellent. Service was good. Beautiful setting overlooking the ocean. Started with tuna poke app. Fresh and tasty. My wife had mahi mahi. She loved it. I had the filet mignon with bernaise sauce. Prime steak. It was perfectly cooked and delicious. Would highly recommend this place. Sorry, I only took a pic of the app.

Fantastic service and amazing view. The food was good, but I don't really think it was worth what we paid. Our server was very attentive, helpful, and even gave us a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary. It was a Sunday evening, so we didn't expect it to be packed but there were very few people there. Which was good for us, because it was nice and quiet but not good for their business. We had a late lunch, so opted to split a couple of apps, a couple of sides, and one dessert. It was kind of fun cooking the Wagyu appetizer at our table on the hot stone, but 7 small bite-sized pieces for $65 was steep. We also had the prawns appetizer, which we liked as well but nothing knocked it out of the park. For dessert, we had their take on banana cream pie which we enjoyed very much.

Fair is fair. My partner and I were in a bit of a tiff, which can put a damper on any meal, but it just wasn't great. We ordered the mahi mahi, which was salty and had a significantly off texture. The side of veggies was, so dare I say, "ordinary." It is very much a letdown (if a side of vegetables can be? Well, they were. The server was doing his best. That's all I got to say about that.

The food was incredible! Poke and Burrata Salad to start, but the real showstopper was the whole grilled fish, which was Kanpachi. Amazing flavor and texture. Dessert was also good. Lovely service and amazing ambiance as well!

I ate here for my birthday back in December and meant to leave a review. Our server was Dustin and he delivered amazing service. I am currently looking at other upscale restaurants to go to and this restaurant is the only place I'd spend $300 on dinner. The food I will definitely be back for. When I eat here again, I will leave a better review regarding presentation, taste and service. I wish I could remember exactly how everything was but all I could remember is this restaurant was great and perfect for date night or birthdays.. also, their truffle fries are just phenomenal!

Service as a whole was sluggish, but it appeared to be caused by understaffing. The drinks were perfect and the wine selection was well curated. The ambiance would be a 10, but the speaker next to our table was blown and the music was muffled by static. Our food came out a few degrees above room temp. Understaffing and lack of attention of detail needs to change. This restaurant wouldn't survive if it was a standalone.

The ambiance was nice. Staff was friendly. Our 4 course dinner took almost 3 hours. I thought that was a little too long for only a 4 course meal. The food was just okay. I think we paid more for the ambience than the food. Beautiful hotel and restaurant.

This is located in the Ritz in Kapalua. If you're already staying on site, this is a no brainer since you don't have to drive anywhere nor deal with a wait. There is plenty of seating available - at least in early Dec when I went. The food was top notch as well. The waygu A5 strips were incredible to eat. The mahi mahi was really tasty, esp with the chimichurri sauce that I added on the side. The banana 'creme' (it's actually cheesecake) pie was also really good. Overall, if I were to come back to this property, I would make another trip to eat here!

It's the Ritz Carlton and one of the worst dining experiences ever. We went on a recommendation of friends during our visit to Maui. Where can I start: Service, although friendly was lacking the basics, especially for Ritz Carlton standards. Purchased whole fish ($200.00), upon recommendation of the waiter. When the fish arrived the waiter set on the table with serving utensils expecting us to serve ourselves. It was a whole fish with skin, head and tail. To serve ourselves while seated would have been impossible. That's the waiters job. We had to ask him to serve us. Ordered "charred" Cesar salad. Arrived with out char and with wilted outer leaves. ($27.00). Our side dish of brussel sprouts was over fried, almost burnt, with no "sprouts" to speak of. It was all the outer leaves, burnt to a crisp. After finishing the fish, waiter disappeared for 10 minutes while the fish remnants remained on the table attracting multiple flies. Waiter then brought another Pellegrino that we did not order. The whole experience felt like we were being nickeled and dimed, without the service or quality to show for it. I'm not done. When we left the valet opened my husbands door, didn't open or close mine I have since lodged 2 complaints, one on Open table, one to Ritz Carlton customer service line. I was promised a response which never came. Don't waste your time here. Go to Lahaina noon instead. We were expecting an excellent experience and were willing to pay for it. A complete disappointment. View from table was amazing but not worth the $500 price tag. I would have been happier with a burger and fries.

The Banyan Tree is undoubtably one of the most beautiful dining experiences I've had to date. I say that because it's such a gorgeous location, and there's nothing quite like having dinner at sunset, overlooking the ocean and enjoying some pretty good food. This review is 4 stars because the ambiance and the service were absolutely excellent, while the food could have been better (still, my complaints are minor as it was such a nice evening). To start, our server was so helpful in helping us find items that they could make vegetarian. We started off our meal with vegetarian poke. I don't know what they made it with, but it was so good! I'd give it a solid 9/10 and the point off it because of how little they give you for the price you pay. We also ordered a watermelon tomato caprese which was to die for! For dinner, I asked for a vegetarian entre and our server was so kind to adjust a menu item for us. I'm pretty sure it was the za'atar crusted fish but instead they made it with trumpet mushrooms. It was really, really good! It wasn't the best entree I've ever had, but it was good. The mushroom was overly chewy and I think it could have used more zaatar. My partner ordered the Hawaiian Cioppino and sadly was not a fan at all. He left most of the dish as it was. We skipped dessert this time around, but I will absolutely be back for that BAN-NAN-YAN'S FOSTER that caught my eye!

The ambiance and view are great but sadly it missed the mark. All the other food on property is great but this was overpriced and not great. The burger shack meal was better!

Feels like we might have been here on an off night. First the pro's. Arrived for dinner at 6:30 with a reservation. Waited a short 5 min to be seated. Gorgeous location and unique decor inside with tons of live plants big windows and nice breezes. Dinner with Hubbie and daughter. When we sat down drink orders were taken right away. Husband ordered a coke, glass of bubbles for me and Shirley temple for my daughter (she is a teen). Drinks came right out except my husbands coke was a Pepsi (fine for him but note to service to clarify this on order at such a fine dining establishment). We ordered the Maui onion dip and Brussels to start. Both very good 9/10. The pressed pineapple was worth ordering the Brussels by itself. Hubbie ordered burrata salad and was disappointed. It was burrata but he wanted something with lettuce. This is where things got more challenging. Drinks needed to be refilled and orders were taken (glass of wine for me) our mains arrived (mahi mahi for hubby split short rib for daughter and I). The mahi mahi was cooked very under in parts and could not be eaten. The lighting is so dim so it took my hubby a little while to figure it out and he eaten so much of what was on his plate he felt uncomfortable sending it back. The short rib on the other hand was excellent 10/10. Potatoes could have used some seasoning but the meat was so full of flavor it made up for it. They did a wonderful job of splitting our plate which I appreciate. Meal was completely consumed when my wine arrived so wasn't really able to enjoy it. We did order banana cream pie for dessert which was also very good, again we waited soooo long for it. Our server acknowledged and comped dessert for us which was super nice. While we were waiting for dessert there was some commotion any the table next to us with a large bug (not to be named) crawling on the back of a man sitting at the table. Table next to them saw it and brushed it off. Eek! I guess the perills of open air dining but also maybe the down side of those nice plants. Menu prices are sooooo high I think I just expected a super high level of service v my server seeming to be stretched thin. Compared to some of the other fabulous fine dining establishments in the island this one is a miss for us.

One of the best meals we had in Maui, hands down. This is our second year going back here and we were still impressed! Everything from the service to the ambiance, the wine list and the food were all exceptional. The Poke nachos are perfect and fresh with good size portion! The seafood curry was to die for. We also had a fantastic bottle of Pinot Noir for under $100. The wine prices here are not cheap but you're at the Ritz so of course it's going to be expensive. It was my birthday so they brought out a special birthday treat at the end! Will definitely be back!

Attentive staff, well prepared food and beautiful setting. Burrata salad - nicely presented, bread perfectly toasted 7 oz prime beef tenderloin in Josper oven, medium rare. NIce smokiness, good temp. Wagyu top round sirloin - a fatty cut compared to the tenderloin (of course), also prepared in the Josper. Nice depth was of flavor and well prepared Mashed whipped potatoes - good! Sautéed veggie - nice Only disappointment was they charged $80 for corkage.

I dined here last week and got scromboid poisoning from the fish. My husband is an emergency physician and diagnoses food poisoning all the time. We notified the hotel and restaurant to ensure nobody else got sick and were not believed. We then had to email and phone Marriott Claims Services to try and get reimbursed for the food that made me so ill- on principle. They considered it a "insurance claim" and would not help us because I had not gone to a hospital or urgent care to get labs directly relating my illness to the food. And this was told to me after an invasive phone interview about my symptoms and medical history. I am so unimpressed with this whole experience. If you dine here, do not eat any seafood! It is not safely stored.

The food is wonderful , luscious , services are fantastic. The surrounding is great . But the food is expensive , over $ 65 per entree. No side dish : charged for shareable . It would even gorgeous that we came for lunch. You couldn't see anything at night

My husband and I visited The Banyan Tree to celebrate our anniversary while staying at The Ritz Carlton. It's a gorgeous restaurant, beautiful flowers and plants adorning the walls interesting light fixtures and a very open air feeling. The server was very friendly and attentive, he offered suggestions and was very helpful. We opted to come in an hour earlier than our reservation because it was our first night on the island and the time change was rough, they were able to accommodate us right away, which was very appreciated. I ordered the Akala-Poni Martini, essentially a blueberry lemon drop, which was good. My husband got the Kilauea Mist cocktail, which was akin to a very refreshing cucumber jalapeño margarita- which we both thought was excellent. The drinks are slightly higher priced than ones at most spots in LA, but weren't terrible. We ordered the focaccia and it was very tasty. We decided to share a New York Steak as the steak options were all pretty hefty sized (we were told the tomahawk was 14 oz, etc) and it was cooked in their special charcoal Josper Oven that smokes and grills at the same time. This steak was probably one of the best that I've had. We ordered the chimichurri on the side, I tried it - it was good but absolutely unnecessary as the flavor of the meat was so excellent. We shared the Josper smoked Alii Mushrooms, which were excellent, I've never had this kind of mushroom before and they were large and seasoned well with tamari and mirin. We also shared the crispy brussel sprouts, they were very tasty at first with this 'compressed pineapple' playing off the salty soy based (I believe) sauce, however once the pineapple was gone I found them far too salty and a little too oily for my taste. But I am glad we got to try them. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is two reasons, one is a very limited and disappointing dessert menu, they only have 3 options (none which looked good to me) and two, while seated inside there were about 15 enormous flies pestering us throughout the entire time we had our food. There was a side of the dining room that was not a solid wall, it was covered by a canvas roll down shade that they open when it's not sunset or possibly when it gets cooler out and wide open doorways to get the wonderful ocean breezes. Obviously it's not the restaurants fault that there were a ton of flies however we spent the whole time shooing flies away (as with everyone else in the restaurant) while trying to enjoy this $200+ meal, that was not enjoyable.

This place was one the pricier side as expected but the food was pretty good! I definitely recommend the Short Rib over the Filet Mignon I really liked the ambiance too. Eating with a view made it all worthwhile! :) The servers were really nice as well. Me being prone to staining my clothes with food, My sleeve got into the filet Mignon sauce! I was kind of sad about it but the server noticed and immediately just gave me a cup of club soda and an extra napkin to try to salvage my dress. It was super comforting because I didn't even have to ask! She was very attentive! So that adds a star to my rating

The ambience is great - located inside the Ritz Carlton in Kapalua by the pool. It has the feel of being in paradise. The feel and the decor is wonderful. The food is ok. Not bad but didn't wow me. It's good if your staying at the hotel.... Their cocktails were ok as well.

The Banyan Tree restaurant is located at the Ritz Carlton in Maui. If you're not staying at the resort the directions may be a little confusing. Navigation directs you to a parking lot by the beach and you have to walk up a slight incline to get to the restaurant. Banyan Tree restaurant is an open air restaurant with great views of the hotel property and the ocean of course. We ordered the short ribs and the catch if the day wilhoch was mahi mahi and started with arancini. Everything was pretty good but needed a tad bit more salt. Overall it was a nice experience and would try it again.

With one of the amazing locations in Maui going for it, you could anticipate that the overall restaurant (food, service, drinks ...) might not match up - we did, and fortunately we were very wrong! This turned out to be one of our top rated spots, right up there with the other oceanside venue a mile away! The food was absolutely amazing ... service was every bit "puttin' on the Ritz" (as in Ritz Carlton) as you can expect ... ambiance in the open air above the ocean and next to the resort pools was top grade Maui. Their signature drinks were incredible - top notch mai tai but the Kilauea Mist w/ a jalapeño bite was astounding! I must say though ... if you walk out without trying the banana cream dessert, you have truly missed out on what may have been your only chance to experience heaven this side of the dirt! kudos to our server Anthony, who helped us with every choice of this extraordinary dining experience.

Great meal in a lovely setting. Tucked into the heart of the Ritz Carlton, the surroundings were gorgeous and peaceful. The cocktails were excellent. We started with the brioche buns, which were soft and buttery. The beet salad was fresh. The husband had the short ribs, which he thought were good but not quite as flavorful as others he recently had. I had the seafood red curry, which was good although not entirely sure it was worth $72. Overall, staff were wonderful, food was good although not really spectacular given the price, but the whole experience was positive. I would definitely recommend giving this a try for a special occasion.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary dinner her tonight. We had reservations and had no problems, they acknowledged our anniversary and got us seared quickly. Our waiter was Charles. He was excellent, he explained the menu and drink selections. I ordered the salmon, my wife ordered the Ono (Mahi Magi was not available). Both dishes were delicious. Over all, this was an excellent choice for our anniversary. We'll be back

Banyan Tree is inside the Ritz Carlton in Maui. It is a little past the pool with great views of the ocean for sunset. We got rain instead, but I give the restaurant propel for well covered drapes to shield customers from rain that also blew in different directions because of the wind. The restaurant is very well decorated. The service was impeccable. Curry seafood was icing on the cake.

We have been going to the Banyan tree for over 25 years. Have not been there for about three years and we're totally disappointed last night. The atmosphere is magnificent. We were seated on time. Had to wait probably 10 minutes before a waiter came to take an order. Our drink order finally arrived. Kept waiting for the waiter to take our dinner order and he finally arrived. My wife ordered a Caesar salad, which was nothing like an ordinary Caesar salad. It was heated with a crust stove cheese over the top. Terrible. They had an hors d'oeuvre that looked like onion soup but was really bread with an onion dip. Ordered mahi-mahi with mashed potatoes and mushrooms. Never saw or tasted mushrooms like that. Terrible Ordered a dessert that was called banana pie. Was nothing like banana cream pie. It took 2 1/2 hours from the time we walked in to when we were done. The manager came up and because of our dissatisfaction did not charge us for the dinner.

The food and the view of the ocean, was incredible. No doubt and beautiful experience. What I didn't enjoy was feeling like we got up sold on the food. I say that because we sought to get an appetizer, which was a seafood medley of sorts, and then the waiter was DROOLING over telling us how amazing the fish was (MP). We got that MP meant market price, but we had been to many places on the island and felt comfortable. However, we asked him 'so you think the appetizer and the fish is a good choice?' He was allllll for it. Well, once the appetizer got there. We were STUFFED! It was amazing, but it was huge. Then the fish came out and IT WAS HUGE!! We couldn't even eat 1/4 of it. Ended up spending $400. It was good, but in no way did I feel it was worth that amount.

So disappointed. This was going to be the highlighter of my trip and my wife made the fatal mistake of making a OpenTable a week before from Los Angeles. We arrived at the restaurant at the appointed time of the appointed day, valet parked our car and went to the restaurant Only to find out it was closed for a private party. You never emailed or notified by open table for the rest of this.

Visiting the islands for a special occasion my girlfriend made reservations here for my birthday. Located at the Ritz passing the pool, its quite the journey to get to but well worth it.. The interior design was island mixed with holiday festive. The staff was friendly and attentive. Everywhere you turn there's beautiful scenery for a picture backdrop. On to the food.. we started with some wine recommended by our waitress and she didn't steer us wrong. We had some good appeteazers, she had the catch of the day which was amazing and I had the daily special of Australian waygu ribeye that set the bar higher than its ever been. You gotta try the banana foster here if nothing else. Yelp elite stamp of approval I wanted to add how good the service was here. We had a good talk with our waitress who is also a Bay area native. Very attentive and friendly.. the gentleman that brought our drinks was also on the job and came by often and had our refills back in seconds. I'd definitely come back here

We had an incredible dinner here this evening. It was kind of hidden down by the pool but had beautiful views. The service was fantastic. Everything we ate was great but the cocktails were especially noteworthy. We started with the Poke and it did not disappoint. When we weren't sure what to get, our server made recommendations and he was spot on. The cocktail we all ended up having (something Mist) was a cucumber and lime with jalapeño sort of thing and super delicious. I wasn't all that hungry so I wasn't sure which direction to go in, and our server again made a recommendation that I took - the shrimp ceviche. It was perfection. My companions had the fresh catch and my son had a burger that he really enjoyed and was impressed with. We would definitely come back to this lovely restaurant the next time we're on Maui. Loved everything!

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!

Brussels sprouts and broccolini = killers. Ate there back to back while staying at the resort. That damn good.

Ambiance and service was good with expectation on prices for the food. It did not meet expectations.

Food was delicious. Especially the banana cheesecake! Also, Lara was so kind and made me feel so comfortable. The ambiance was moody and dreamy.
