    Enjoyed a very overpriced omelette, banana pancakes, juice and coffee. But, due to the price, I’d rather go somewhere else. Our server was very kind.

    The celebration of our anniversary was so special! We never miss the Sunday brunch buffet when we come to Maui and this one was exceptional! The food and service were outstanding! Our waiter was superb! Highly recommended 😊

    My loco moco dish was not good, fat pieces of kalia pork and it was bland overall. I wanted to ask for a refund but felt embarrassed since it was the Ritz Carlton. The other two in my party got the banana pancakes and they liked them. I wouldn't recommend this place to order a la cart.

    To be fair - our experience was with the Kapalua wine festival. I hate for this to go against Ulana if it’s separate entity but not sure how else to leave a review. We’ve been going to the wine festival consistently throughout the years and this was the first one we left feeling disappointed.

    This restaurant has a large and pricey brunch buffet on Sundays but we choose to order off the menu. We ordered the Mac-nut pancakes and they made them with gluten-free flour. Be sure to ask about the price if you ever order fresh-squeezed juice. Last year, they charged $20 for a glass of orange juice and wanted $17 this year. The environment is relaxing with a view overlooking the pool area and ocean in the distance.

    Well we finally had a chance to attend Ulana. The waiter basically ignored us for first 15 mns. Never offered us water. Food was ok. In some ways excellent like the pastries and the kid cooking the eggs. The seafood seemed like yesterday’s catch of the day. Coffee was excellent as was the juice but $17 for a glass of juice. Cmon. In short beautiful location we finally made it and we won’t be back. Over rated and or overpriced depending on what an individual expects for a $60 breakfast

    My husband and I had breakfast here and we’re underwhelmed. The decor was shabby and the upholstered arm chairs were dirty and stained. We ordered from the breakfast menu instead of doing the buffet, I had eggs Benedict and the eggs were cooked properly but only a trace or hollandaise sauce was present and the Canadian bacon was over cooked and tough. My husband had the banana macadamia nut pancakes and they were just ok. The service was fine and there were plenty of empty tables. I really expected more from the Ritz Carlton.

    We did the buffet which seamed like a good value. There were lots of fresh and delicious food to choose from. My only pet peeve is when you’re just staring to eat and the server seems to be running around and never checks on you and just brings you the check like “hurry up and leave”. Very unprofessional. Two days later we went back and got an amazing server which completely changed our experience and it was so delightful. Kudos to the ladies in the front always nice and welcoming.

    The hotel and restaurant are just gorgeous! Beautifully decorated, live music and lovely scenery. That being said the “NYE event” was less than desirable. The very overpriced buffet event came with a glass of champagne that we had to ask for. No other beverages were included. The food was good. No way to possibly eat $180 worth of food. Service was just so so. Overall underwhelmed.
