Aka'ula Lanai

Absolutely the worst breakfast burrito I have ever had. Cold mush.

We arrived at the hotel restaurant and were immediately captivated by the stunning view. Famished and exhausted after a day of snorkeling, we took a seat, eager to pair the gorgeous scenery with a decent meal. We ordered two cocktails, a seafood linguine, and a prime rib. The drinks arrived first, and the very first sip revealed exactly why they didn’t bother checking our IDs. My husband is incredibly sensitive to alcohol—half a glass of Chardonnay usually leaves him flushed and dizzy for the rest of the night. Remarkably, this was the first time he finished an entire cocktail and remained perfectly functional. It tasted more like juice than a mixed drink. By the time our main courses arrived, we were already regretting skipping the appetizers. I’m usually quite forgiving of the mediocrity often found in hotel dining, which is why I figured steak and pasta were safe bets. I was dead wrong. The prime rib was an absolute disaster. The outside wasn't just well-done; it was "congratulations." I had to physically fight the meat just to slice it—though perhaps the dull knife was also to blame. Yet, somehow, the very center remained completely rare and aggressively, unevenly salted. I genuinely wanted to finish it, but I simply couldn't cut through the leather-like texture. **To make matters worse, it was served with a side of roasted carrots that were quite literally raw. I have never in my life eaten a "roasted" carrot that was still completely raw in the middle.** The seafood pasta brought its own set of surprises. While the sauce was actually decent, the seafood itself was a joke. We are in Hawaii, yet they served what tasted like the cheapest frozen shrimp from Walmart, complete with that unmistakable, stale freezer-burn aftertaste.

Came here every morning on our vacation and every time, we had a different but absolutely amazing server. The service here is top notch. Im no coffee expert but wow, the coffee is good! Cold brew on ice, mac-joy, and the white chocolate mocha were our go-to drinks.

We tried the Mac-Joy coffee and really enjoyed it—unique and flavorful. The hot chocolate and fruit plate were also great. Just a bit too expensive for basic items.

Loved the place! Really great breakfast! Fresh and tasty . Service was great, the girl was super nice and very welcoming. Coffee was great! Loved the atmosphere , very quite and romantic

Possibly the most bitter coffee I've ever had in over 70yrs

Prices are not updated. $5 for a spam musubi is wild. Menu online says $3.

Got some 100% Kona coffee. Pretty good!

The service was very warm and friendly. The woman taking our order was so pleasant. It was nice to walk into the place to grab something casual and relax and enjoy the view from the opened air space

Food hot and yummy. Service fast and knowledgeable. Gorgeous grounds on the Mariott! Will repeat 😀
