    IPA + Jamison
    Justin M.

    My wife and I stumbled into this bar for a quick drink while wandering the boardwalk from the Mahana up in north Ka'anapali, checking out nearby resorts. The staff was spot-on--friendly without being over-the-top--and the vibe felt genuinely cozy, like a spot you'd linger in. That said, it's a Westin, so brace for those upscale prices on everything. If your wallet's up for it, go ahead, but honestly, you can find drinks just as solid pretty much anywhere else around here.

    Wagyu beef cheeseburger
    Shirley N.

    We ate here twice during our stay here at Westin Nanea. The primary reason was to spend down our resort credit. Because they offer HH 3-6 it was difficult to secure a table for three at dinner as it's first come first serve. We settled on lunch one time and dinner another time. It's the same menu with the exception of dinner where they add five additional items. The bar and grill is at the pool so lots of foot traffic. Lunch time - my daughter and I both had the wagyu beef cheeseburger on brioche bun with fries. Hubby had a poke bowl. Cocktails - hubby had a martini, daughter a lava flow, and I had a strawberry fizz. The bar has a daily cocktail special but we passed on it. The burger was huge. 1/2 lb ground beef. Cooked to order. The fries were hot and crispy. Hubby's poke bowl looked so so. Dinner time - we couldn't get a table so we split up in the bar and sat at high bar tables. Hubby sat by himself. He had a rib eye steak. Both my daughter & I had the Asian shrimp noodle dish. Hubby's rib eye came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The Asian shrimp noodles dish came with six shrimp. The description said black tiger shrimp but the shrimp looked like frozen shrimp I get at my local supermarket back home. The noodles were temperature hot but very salty and oily. I'd pass on this next time. If it weren't for our resort credit I'm not sure we would've patronized this place. The staff was very friendly and efficient.

    Here in late September 2024. Atmosphere is a 5, food is a 3, service is a 1.5... Prepare yourself to wait... a long time... before your drink order is taken. Then prepare to wait even longer for a food order or check-in to happen. This place has potential, but they are either understaffed... or allergic to quality service standards. At least you have the ocean and sunset to watch as you wait! Good luck!

    Pork nachos
    Bob K.

    Pretty average hotel pool bar "restaurant", serving a limited assortment of food items (nachos, chicken nuggets, hamburgers) and lots of basic drinks including the ubiquitous Mai Tai. Service is pretty slow (one casually-staffed line at the end of the bar if you want to order takeaway which is long all day). Best thing was the poolside service when we reserved a casabella... super attentive and kept us in beverages all day. Basic spot, basic service, basic food....

    More lava flows!
    Sharon S.

    Two words - 'lava flow' or 'mai tai' or 'vacation drink' or 'beach vibes' or 'o'hana time'. Whichever one you pick, Inu Pool Bar helps you kickstart vacation in paradise. We were frequent customers during the week we stayed at the Westin Nanea. This review is for the drinks only, ordered via the server responsible for the cabanas we were in and walk-up to the bar. Both methods were about the same. Depending on when the order was placed, there could be a slight wait due to an influx of multiple orders. Drinks are pretty good here so no complaints. They have daily drink specials where a special drink is only $10. Happy hour includes discounts on wine, beer and appetizers but not cocktails. The only one bad experience was a special drink of the day called Shark Bite (light rum, coconut rum, blue curaçao, sweet and sour, grenadine). It tasted like cough medicine, so much so that I didn't drink it. It was just terrible. Overall, Inu Pool Bar is the happy place to get our buzz on while catching some rays or lounging in the pool.

    Lots of choices and they custom made a few cocktails for us!
    Corinne R.

    Love this pool bar! We sat in the bar with a view of the pool and ocean! The bartenders Bradley and Sean are all about Aloha! My girlfriends and I ordered multiple cocktails! All delicious! They custom made a few for us as well! They have a few televisions if you need to watch a sports game too! Overall, the view, the service (prompt) the comfort and cocktails are all 5 stars!

    Upcountry Cobb with coconut-citrus aioli as dressing + Beer-Battered Maui Onion Rings with spicy banana ketchup
    Gabriela R.

    I love the nachos and a delicious salad with coconut milk dressing ranch-ish, both dairy-free by request. They're my fave items here, and I eat them all the damn time when we visit. The fries are solid, too. My little one loves the kids grilled cheese sandwich with fries. Devour it as you watch NBA games at the bar, then jump in the pool. You're welcome.;)

    Poke Bowl
    Nicole T.

    Food was actually decent for a resort. The Poke Bowl was phenomenal. It was well seasoned. The fish was super fresh. Great presentation. It's a little spicy, but that's exactly how it should be. The portion for this dish seemed a bit small. That was really the only negative. The Asian Shrimp Pasta was also delicious. It had a great sauce. This dish also had a kick but it wasn't over the top. The shrimp were large and meaty. I would definitely order either of these again, but the Poke Bowl was the winner! Also ordered a mango cheesecake (forgot to take a picture). I didn't love it. It tasted more like lemon extract than mango. So that was disappointing. Good service. Prices were in the $20-30 range for most entrees. I would just skip dessert and order a drink instead next time.

    Poolside tables during a sunset!
    Guillermo C.

    Wife and I loved it! We came here twice and tried 2 different meals - I would say the fish tacos weren't that great. Didn't have too much flavor and didn't have really have a good sauce in it. The chicken wings were nice! Crunchy and very flavorful. The 2nd time we have the nachos and those were really good! I did ask for extra salsa to throw on top but definitely really good. Lastly for dessert we had the fried banana and oh my goodness it was delicious. Ask for the ice cream scoop too! Made it even better. The drinks were great as well! They have a different specialty cocktail every day. Service was great! Everyone was super nice and really attentive. With a poolside view, it made for a great time.

    Beer-Battered Maui Onion Rings
    Eric I.

    So, I wouldn't say this place is the absolute worst place to go for food because it's conveniently located by the pool and the service was actually pretty good. The three stars are really reflected around the taste to cost value proposition. Is it worth the cost, meh not so much. Is it worth the convenience of not having to leave the property definitely especially if you want to grab a few drinks and not sweat the DUI. All in all, nothing to rave about here but it is convenient and the service was decent. Pro tip - get your privilege card at the concierge and get 10% knocked off.

    Can you actually swim at the pool if you are eating and drinking here?

    Yes if you are staying at any of the Westin properties that are all adjacent/consecutive to each other.

    Can people not staying at the resort still come to the bar here?

    Aloha Paul - Absolutely! We look forward to your visit. Cheers!

    Are there gluten-free options?

    Yes, a few.

We didn't have reservations and upon arriving at the host stand, the female hostess was snobby and did not want to help us and instead, the male host sat us down at a communal table with ottermans for seats. We didn't feel like crouching down to eat so I went back to ask if we could sit at the bar. We moved to the bar and ordered from the bartender; I got the lobster roll and my husband ordered the poke nachos. We realized there was a musician playing and wanted to move closer to the music. So I decided to go back to the host stand and ask if we could get on the list for a table close to the musician. The female host proceeded to snob me WHILE she drinks from her hydroflask. The male host stated to me that since we ordered our food already, we are not allowed to sit on a table since those tables have servers too. He also had an attitude. I asked very nicely and felt that they thought I was interrupting their deep conversations. The male host reluctantly stated that the tables open up after 9:30pm. Management really needs to school these two on how to talk to guests with more respect. This was on 11/14/25, approx. 8pm. As local kama'aina, we expected more but those two failed miserably. After we finished eating our food, we closed out our tab and moved by the musician. Needless to say, we were nicely greeted by a waitress who asked if she can get us anything. This place could be so much more but our experience with the front of the house was enough for us to not return during our trip. On the flip side, the lobster roll was really good whereas the poke nachos was okay. There's so much more dining options within the Westin's vicinity with great service AND food, like Leilani's Beach Bar (at Leilani's on The Beach) so we would not recommend this place BUT if you want a good lobster roll, this is the place to have it.

Our waiter took our order, never brought my wife's glass of wine; then after we had waited 25 minutes without getting anything, he stopped by to ask us how things were going so far. We were baffled: "We haven't received any food or drinks yet." Another 10 minutes later, he showed up again, apologized and said the restaurant's manager had said their order-entry system had gone down and that our order would be one of the first to go in w/the tech running again. Then another 25 minutes passed, other tables got their food, and we sat empty-handed. Two of our party finally complained to multiple staff; our waiter said to calm down and that our food would be ready in another 10 minutes (seriously?); and very soon thereafter, our food finally arrived. No apologies from the restaurant, no follow-up on why the order took another half-hour after their system was allegedly running again, no sign of our appetizers or wine. We were OK w/those last details because after waiting more than an hour, we were ready to leave. Our order finally arrived more than an hour after we had placed it, and the food was fine. After the meal, I asked three employees if I could speak with the manager; each was evasive or said he's hard to reach. Finally, our waiter claimed (no idea whether this is true) that they had no more kitchen staff, the owner was cooking all the food, and the restaurant was due to close in the next few days. That was in late December 2025, so if Kitchen 5315 is still open in 2026, save yourself the misery and avoid this restaurant!

I already knew what I wanted: TROPICAL MAHI RICE BOWL: mahi filet over a bed of rice with slaw, mango salsa, poblano sauce, sour cream, cilantro & lime. The mahi was grilled and delicious!! I asked for a side of hot sauce and that completed the dish. Absolute !! The service was really great, I enjoyed Michael and his conversation. He was so interesting and definitely made the experience 5 for us. The other thing I really appreciated about Happy Fish is that they didn't bust your wallet. The prices were competitive and because of that, I'll definitely be back. I saw they have a happy hour menu too 9-11pm, I'm going to try that before I leave along with black light bingo Wednesday nights!! More fun to come and I'll def be telling all my friends and family who come to Maui to hit up Happy Fish. Amazing service, bomb food, great prices, and awesome vibe. Can't ask for anything more!!
