Food, ambience, and service were all a solid four out of five. We started with the Brussels sprouts and Szechuan ribs—both were very good and much larger portions than expected. Would definitely order both again.
For mains, we had the butterfish and the grilled catch of the day with shrimp. The butterfish was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, though the overall presentation was more of a four than a five. The grilled catch was fine, but not especially memorable.
The chocolate ganache cake was excellent, though we were disappointed that decaf espresso wasn’t available. We’d return, but next time would likely sit at the bar for drinks and appetizers.

We had lunch here this week, and based on the many positive reviews we had heard, we arrived with high expectations and were looking forward to an enjoyable dining experience. The ambiance was wonderful, with a pleasant view overlooking the golf course, and the service was excellent. Our servers were attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout our visit.
I ordered the stir-fried tofu with vegetables and rice. While the presentation of the dish was very appealing, I unfortunately found it to be overly salty, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. It left me wondering whether the seasoning had been adjusted or tasted prior to being served.
Overall, while the setting and service were strong positives, the food did not meet our expectations, especially considering the price point. For this reason, it is unlikely that we will return, though we do appreciate the professionalism of the staff and the pleasant atmosphere.

Stopped in without a reservation and were greeted by a courteous hostess. We sat at the bar, and the kitchen was accommodating with a special request for my husband, which was appreciated.
He had the mahi mahi, and I ordered the Blackened Island Ahi—both were well executed and flavorful. The Brussels sprouts and beet salad were also very good. Overall, the food was consistently solid and the experience relaxed and professional.
A reliable choice in Kaanapali, and we would return

Just what you'd expect of the legendary Ray's. We've been to Poipu Grill and several on the mainland as well, and this location did not disappoint.
We asked the server for a recommendation which he provided, but when we said, "we are thinking about the cioppino," he immediately responded, "get the cioppino."
Cocktails - delicious (expensive $28/each!)
Asian ribs appetizer - delicious
Cioppino - delicious
