This is a nice spot to dine and relax if you’re staying at the Westin. But the food is pretty average, considering the price. Beware breakfast— they advertise and take online breakfast orders for pick up, but they are actually closed for breakfast. This is straight up a scam.
Vegetarian options are available, but very limited. I wish they offered more plant-based choices like the Hyatt.
The Kung Pao noodles don’t taste much like Kung Pao except that they are mildly spicy. The fries, however, are a standout— thick cut but still crispy and well seasoned.

Made to order pizza had too much cheese, no flavor and crust was like cardboard. I was expecting better quality at the Westin.

Closed in morning unit 12 o'clock or later, forces visitors to the resort to go to the Noryh resort for food & drinks until they open later in the day.

Awful and bland food. Pack of seasoning. I mean hospital-level!
I ordered mahimahi.

Shame about how much the food at Aunties Kitchen has declined over the years. We have been coming to the Westin Ocean Resort Villas for over 15 years but it has slim a long way backwards in our experience. The convenience is not worth it other than for the drinks. The fish sandwich was doughy poorly cooked frozen fish which tasted old. Bun was not particularly fresh. Recommend you head to the bar at Nanea instead. Good there seems fresher and there are more non-fried options. Westin/Marriott are definitely degrading the F & B services in the Maui resorts.

Thinking I was going to a upscale restaurant I was very disappointed in it being just a regular restaurant buy a swimming pool

Nothing special here, it's an outside hotel restaurant. Food was mediocre to subpar. We won't be back.

We waited quite a while to be seated, and when we finally ordered, I got the Kung Pao noodles ($21) and paid an extra $9 to add chicken. My husband ordered the Backyard Short Ribs ($36). When our waitress checked in, I mentioned that the Kung Pao noodles were extremely spicy — even my husband, who enjoys spicy food, couldn’t eat much of it. She simply said, “Sorry you don’t like your food,” and walked away without offering any solution or concern. My husband’s short ribs were okay, but they tasted like they were boiled first, then grilled, and covered in sauce. The beans seemed like they came from a can, and the coleslaw had very little flavor. Overall, we were really disappointed — especially with the service and the quality of the food for the price.

Food was good. Drinks were good but way over priced. Service was fine but waiter seemed like he was annoyed to wait on us from the get go.

$22.00 for a Mai Tai to start! What is happening here? This restaurant is primarily there for the owners of Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas who pay a tremendous amount of maintenance fees. To be treated so rudely with outrageous prices when we are on vacation is unacceptable. Annie's wasn't even open for dinner - the rez was transferred to a temp location in the North Towers which is primarily a breakfast spot. Service was fine but the restaurant spot was not equipped for everything (ie no after dinner coffee available). We ordered a simple fish for dinner and it was good...nothing fantastic but good. I hope whatever refurbishing they are doing in the kitchen will improve the quality of the food as well as having better choices. It's a boring menu. Nobody is trying too hard here!
Good food. Attentive service. Noise level high as it's a sports bar next to the pool. Reasonably priced for Hawaii

Seafood boil is not worth it. Crab legs were very small with hardly any crab. Mussels were tough and very chewy. You need to see what the Namea restaurant in Kauai provides. Raise the price give quality. Never again.

We would not recommend this restuarant. We made reservations and a special request for my husband to get 2 servings as it was his birthday at our cost. We spoke to hostesses (2) a total of 6 times to ensure our request was in our notes for the reservations. We also indicted it was a surprise. The first thing the waiter said to us was I understand someone at the table wants a double portion- well there goes the surprise. When we were served, a single serving arrived. When we questioned the waiter, he said that they were running out of food. He said we could purchase 2 servings, but he didn't think it was worth it, so he cancelled our request. When the bill arrived, they charged us for the extra serving. We won't be back.

Josh and Joey were amazing! We had great food and hospitality. We were very happy to get settled in for the first night of our honeymoon and be greeted with such friendly people! Joey recommended edamame and it did not disappoint!

Love the place. Service was okay. It is usually a nicer time but was not bad. Will give it another try soon
