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.
Jill
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.

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

We weren't expecting too much since it's a hotel restaurant but we were pleasantly surprised. I had the catch of the day - mahi - which was lightly breaded with a Parmesan, cream and caper sauce. Delicious! Husband had the ribs which fell off the bone. Veggies were done nicely and roasted potatoes also very good. Great service as well.

My wife had dinner last night at Auntie's Kitchen. We were quickly seated at a table in the shade. I started with their mai tai and my wife had an iced tea to enjoy with the spicy edamame. My wife ordered the teriyaki chicken thigh with rice and corn. Despite their nightly special of prime rib, I came to the Island to enjoy their fresh fish. I truly enjoyed the shoyu ahi poke over sushi rice. We enjoyed our meal and would go back any time.
We are owners here and dine here a lot as our folio would indicate. We love the Monday night prime Rib night and was looking forward to it again. I ordered Medium/rare which is pretty standard as we dine out a lot and it came pretty much alive on my plate. Even the waiter agreed that is was way under cooked. He took it back to the kitchen. Instead of providing me a new fresh slice of medium/ rare prime rib, they threw it in a pan and fried it in the cook top. Never have I seen this before. So needless to say, we were disappointed. My wife ordered the Mahi Mahi sandwich with fries and it came out with chips. Not what she ordered. It was not crowded so we were confused. She did like her sandwich!

I'm unsure of what other reviewers had that was so delicious. Everything we ordered, with the exception of the fries—kid's grilled cheese sandwich, pork quesadilla, lemonade, and margarita—tasted like it had been made with jet engine fuel. This was such a disappointment after a long day of travel and not wanting to have to venture out for dinner. We will not be back to Auntie's Kitchen. The food tastes nothing like anything I've ever eaten that was prepared by an aunt. The Westin needs to do better.

We were there for pasta night. The pasta was not good; noodles with lots of sauce, very little taste. I would not recommend it.

Servers are terribly slow and rude. There were about 4 families seated just waiting. The servers were dancing and socializing at the back of the bar.
They greeted us with a “yeah!” then they ignored us hoping our family will just leave and go somewhere else.
We got the hint ended up leaving and avoided eating at the resort.

Great Food. Service could be better when attending to drink refills and getting condiments.
