Super solid luau at the Ritz Carlton!…read more Staying near Kapalua on our latest visit - I decided to surprise wifey with one of the newer luaus on the island, the Tales of the Kapa Moe! Had to make my reservations a few weeks in advance since the luau is only on Tuesdays and Fridays! Some limited, ah?! Taking place at the Ritz newly renovated Aloha Garden Pavilion, such a sight when you walk in! Welcomed by staff and given a fresh flower lei and a stiff cocktail (or TWO) right away! Now that's what I call the Aloha Spirit...quite literally LOL! -Blue Hawaiian -Kapalua Mai Tai (fave of the night, strong & vibrant!) Before going to your assigned seating in the covered pavilion, you can partake in the Hawaiian cultural activities in the lanai, and get your pictures taken underneath the beautiful garden backdrop! Then when you're ready you get escorted to your table for the luau pre-show! I gotta say - the highlight of the night is the luau dinner, pretty swanky! Before they call you up to the buffet line by table, they bring out the whole roasted pig for showing off as it heads to the display line for service! I noticed though that the pig is not made in an underground imu as is the traditional Hawaiian method - it is cooked in a Caja China, which can also produce succulent meat! The buffet is stacked well, and you can go back as your heart desires! So much to eat: Salads -Hawaiian Chopped Salad -Caesar Salad -Kula Beets with Arugula (for you vegans) -Soba Noodle Salad Entrees -Whole Roasted Pig -Macadamia Nut Crusted Fresh Fish Catch -Westside Huli Huli Chicken -North Shore Oahu Garlic Shrimp Sides -Wok Fired Island Vegetables -Local Molokai Sweet Potatoes -Ginger & Soy Steamed Bok Choy -Garlic Mushroom Fried Rice There's even a Build your own Poke Station with ahi and kimchi tako poke and tons of condiments! AND even a Keiki Menu that includes Fried Chicken Tenders and Mac & Cheese! I know this isn't what folks in ancient Hawaiian times ate, but cheee hooo the food overall is ONO! The Kula Beets with Arugula and Soba Noodle salads were faves! Some crazy flavor combos going there and good starters! Cannot go wrong with a poke bowl with your own fixings as an appetizer as well! The Whole Roasted Pig was nice & moist (especially the belly sections), delicious when served with the mu shu buns, poi, pickled vegetables, and hoisin chili sauce. Like basically an Asian taco! The Macadamia Nut Crusted Fresh Fish was delectable too, delicate fish with their mild Thai coconut curry sauce was very good! The North Shore Oahu Garlic Shrimp was liked as well, so much garlic and lemon butter! And what goes well with protein? Why, a heaping serving of Garlic Mushroom Fried Rice of course! More of a modern meal take on the Hawaiian luau, but I ain't mad! I made sure to eat enough for my ancestors HA! After the buffet dinner, relax, digest and get ready for the show. The Tales of the Kapa Moe! Great local host, makes you get interactive too, work off some of that luau food! The show is a lively depiction of a day in the life of the Hawaiian ancestors, showcasing the different tasks of everyone in the village. Many tales to enlighten your senses: *Koʻi Honua - A story of the creation of the islands *Pele - Goddess of the volcano and its molten lava *Kanehekili - God of thunder bringing forth rain to start growth *Laka - Goddess of the forest and all earthly vegetation *Ka I ka hoe - Audience participation chant lesson *Huakaʻi Hele - Migration of our ancestors from the south pacific *Ka wailele o Honokohau - Acrobat in the form of a waterfall *Ae Kakou - Men dance expressing their love for fish and poi *Lānaʻi - The beauty of Lānaʻi displayed as our women dance in a cloud *Moea awakens - Fire finale representing that the fire of our people its heritage will continue to live and burn strong And while you're enjoying the history, don't forget to grab some desserts: -Mochi Tart (must try!) -Mango Pudding -Mango Cheesecake -Kapalua Bar -Macadamia Chocolate Crunch Cake What an experience of a luau, very nuanced! Especially the fire show at the end, super LIT is an understatement! My only note is that this luau is a bit pricey for the 3 hour dinner & show - about $260 per person for Ohana Seating, and about $316 per person for the Ali'i Premium Seating (right near the front row). But if you're a kama'aina don't despair - let them know and you can get 20% off with valid Hawaii ID! Awesome time for wifey & I at the Tales of the Kapa Moe Luau Show! This was us early celebrating our 15th anniversary! Can't go wrong with this luau at the Ritz! AWWWRIGHT!!

Food and service were great, however, the entertainment for the money was not, and in our opinion…read moreit was overpriced. We are a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 middle/high school aged kids) and the total for our family was $1500. (VIP seating would have been more!) For that money the food AND the show should be amazing and we walked away feeling it was not worth the money. At least hold it outside in a more authentic setting and not in an open air pavilion where it's hard to see the stage and what is happening. The professional photographer with complementary family photos was a nice touch.

Very casual service. We ordered: Mahi Mahi Lemon Caper Sautée: 1/10 The fish just tasted extremely bland not fresh tough and the lemon sauce just made it wet but added in no flavor as well. Rice was mushy tasted overcooked Mac salad was decent but not the traditional Mac salad flavor. Kung Pao Chicken: 2/10 Small pieces of chicken mostly fried so very little chicken this dish had a good amount of flavor because it was sweet. Chicken and shrimp fried rice: 1/10 Rice was so mushy quality and freshness is just not there. Overall this was not our best meal in Maui I had seen the mixed reviews and wanted to give it a try unfortunately I would no eat here again just because it was not just one dish that lacked quality freshness and flavor it was everything I ordered.

Unfortunately the only restrooms they have are a couple porta potties outside. I ordered the prime rib ($38) which was their Friday and Saturday special.

For drinks I ordered the mai tai ($15) which was strong but still on the sweeter side. They have daily happy hour from 3-5pm and live music every Saturday from 6-8pm.

When you walk in, the ocean views are absolutely breathtaking, and the restaurant feels open, modern, and inviting. Our server, McKenna, was the best waitress we've had in quite some time. She was attentive, personable, gave great suggestions, and made the experience even more memorable. The entire staff was fantastic as well. We started with the Tako A L'Escargot. My wife ordered the Makai Special, which was Mahi Mahi with prawns and potato furikake pancakes, and I ordered the Macadamia Nut Crusted Fresh Catch (Swordfish) with broccoli and rice. I would highly recommend all three dishes. They also started us off with a delicious complimentary bread basket and a tomato watermelon shooter as a palate cleanser. The Tako (octopus) was moist and buttery, while the bread was soft with a nice crisp exterior. It was a very unique dish. The fish in both entrées was moist, buttery, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with sides that complemented each dish really well. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary s'more inspired dessert for our anniversary and cookie to go, which was a thoughtful touch and the perfect way to end the evening. If you're looking for an excellent date night, anniversary dinner, birthday celebration, or any special occasion, I highly recommend Merriman's! Note: Parking is complimentary valet only.

They were our favorite for that comfortable go-to place while we there. When on vacation in a resort like The Ritz, it's wonderful to find a place that you know you can drop into and have great food that isn't over the top at the end of a packed day. I can't honestly say enough about the quality of their food and freshness, and how much we are aligned with the chef's taste in cuisine. Their clams are off the charts so we had them many times. My personal go-to was the Melon Salad. Sometimes I just needed a light clean salad on a hot day and this one was absolutely perfect! We also had their Ono and Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi, and the Beet Salad, and other dishes that were just fantastic. We also really like their casual golf course ambiance. Yes they are pricey, but it's Maui and it's Kapalua and every dish was better than solid so we felt they were absolutely perfect! Thanks again all for wonderful meals every single time!

She made great recommendations, and we were genuinely excited to return the next day. Unfortunately, our Saturday visit for happy hour was a completely different experience. Our server appeared very distracted, and our food arrived significantly later than tables seated well after us. The overall atmosphere became increasingly uncomfortable. What concerned us most was witnessing what appeared to be a manager ( a gentleman) confronting staff about alcohol being served to our server while she was actively working. We had no idea alcohol was involved, but seeing this situation unfold in front of guests at what is supposed to be a quality establishment was unsettling and inappropriate. Sadly, we will not be returning to either the resort or the restaurant after this . The situation felt disorganized and unprofessional, and ultimately unacceptable.
