Decided to see what else was in Whalers Village. Great location. Live music was huge bonus, and both groups did not disapoint. Service was attentive, food appetizers really nice, tried the pork belly special...delicious. ordered hit wings, nit really hot so give them a go. Only disappointment was the caesar salad, lacked flavour. Will be back next week as really enjoyed the live music.

Best lobster roll and the fries were cooked perfectly. My parter had a salad that he really enjoyed. Great sitting and eating next to the ocean. We got a 20% discount from the hotel. We liked it so much that we visited it 3 times during our 6 day stay at the

Wonderful seat right on the boardwalk, very good service from our waitress, and ocean waves to provide the soundtrack. Only downside is the prices, but that is also expected from the location. If you go expect to pay a higher price than further away from the shore.
Really nice location, great live music, and kind wait staff. Not a large menu, and not allergen friendly. The food we did order was also really salty and had too much garnish sauce.

Excellent. Taro chip Poke is very very good. Their drinks are poured well. Service is attentive. Live music every afternoon and into the evening. Directly ocean front in the heart of Kaanapali beach at the Westin. A great place to relax, refresh and enjoy everything Maui has to offer.

What a pleasant surprise! We had not been to the Westin for years but Hale Mo'olelo looked interesting. It was great! Their Mai Tai's were very tasty, and the shrimp tacos were delicious! Add the beautiful surroundings and the fire pit and it was the perfect dinner!

Contrary to the yelp status this restaurant is open! It's feb 2024. Restaurant is located in the Westin resort. Beachside seating and covered but open outdoor seating too. Food is delicious here! The fries are exceptional. They arrive hot and they're super crispy. There's got to be a special seasoning layer that makes them this crispy. The chicken karaage is so good too. It's a type of Japanese fried chicken nugget with tasty seasoning. The Kobe burger comes with fresh veggies like sliced onions and fresh green lettuce. We grabbed a seat closest to the ocean and the views with the backdrop of the picturesque resort was just perfect. Food is resort prices and to be expected but it's not much more expensive than non resort places we visited for food on the island. Local drink favorites that aren't on the menu: Lava flow which is a pina colada with strawberry Miami vice which is a blended strawberry daiquiri mixed with pina colada, and a pineapple slice to boot! You get 20% with your Westin vacation club card for dine in food. It's a card we got at check in at the Westin and I think it's part of the Bonvoy Marriott perks.

Hale Mo'olelo was a delightful experience! Our evening began with an unexpected ceremonial torch lighting enhanced by a gorgeous sunset. Sammy and his crew were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the two performing artists- the first played ukulele and the second was on guitar. All our food and beverages were good, we were intrigued by the pineapple caprese, it was a fun spin on a classic dish. Mahalo nui loa Hale Mo'olelo, we'll be back!
Biggest problem was service. Slow in getting drink and entrees to the table. Waited way too long to get check; server could have brought it while opening a bottle of wine at the next table but we had to ask someone else to bring it after she'd brought back our parking validation. Nice outdoor table overlooking the ocean. Food was good but overpriced for portion size. Got small credit for these issues.

We have been coming here for many years and love the location and atmosphere of this bar/restaurant. The food use to be awesome and we loved the ahi/local style offerings that they had but the menu has really changed and none of our favorites are being offered. Bring back the ahi nachos, the local salad, and the poke bowl please!!! Your servers/bartenders are great but we couldn't find anything we wanted to eat so went somewhere else.
The staff, food and setting was amazing. There were 2 kids one on a bike and one on roller blades allowed to ride and skate through the restaurant area. This did not match the intended ambience.

Didn't eat here, not the root beer was a nice NA option, while my lush of a friend had a mai tai that he said he has had better. Said it was tart, not as sweet.Anyway. The pool is right here, lovely sights to be holds all around. Oh, and the view of the catamarans is cool.$25 for a burger, fyi.
