"My gang took me and my spouse out for our birthday dinners here. The Hawaiian word pulehu means to cook or grill over fire, so I 'm sure many including myself, expected this to be a steakhouse but it 's actually Italian cuisine. ATMOSPHERE: The open air eatery is located in the Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas North. There are no views sans for the hotel grounds and buildings as its situated near the front of the property in a courtyard like setting. Decor is typical modern Hawaii resort style with an open view kitchen. The place was dead on a Sunday night. MENU: Italian apps, salads, pasta, fish, steak, lamb, desserts, kids menu. BEVERAGE: Selby Russian River Valley Chardonnay $60/bottle. We were wanting a lesser priced white but it was out, so this was the second option. Medium bodied and smooth. FOOD: Flashed Brussels Sprouts $13.00. Thankfully they didn 't use a whole lot of balsamic vinegar in this run of the mill app which made it tastier as the sprouts ' natural flavors came through. Recommended. Bruschetta $13.00. Though this wasn 't anything to write home about, because I love burrata cheese, it was good. Pricey for the simple ingredients involved. Ribeye $46.00 $20.00 for Garilic Butter Kauai Prawns. Yup, $66 for steak and four small shrimp with the heads still attached. Being a pasta fanatic, I veered to this dish as their pasta selections were so few and uninspiring. While the steak was perfectly and simply seasoned, the shrimp were dreadfully dull. No char, no zing, no relish. And $20 for four small pieces? What a ripoff! Instead of offering a traditional baked potato they served it with lackluster herb roasted potatoes. DESSERT: Tiramisu $10.00. This was a big piece good enough for the four of us to share. Regardless of my love of custard, I didn 't truly enjoy it as the other dessert we had was much more scrumptious. Chocolate Almond Olive Oil Cake with Cherry Gelato $11.00. I don 't have a big sweet tooth, but this was really delectable. The chocolate cake was insanely moist, chocolatey and not overly sweet. The single scoop of cherry gelato brought a nice balance to the dish but was not enough to share as I 'm an ice cream fanatic! Highly recommended but ask for more ice cream. SERVICE: Our male server was great. He was very friendly, professional and checked on us often. Regardless of us dining past closing time, we never felt rushed. The background music stayed on and no one was giving us evil eyes. The only negative aspect was a vacuum that was being used near us; so not a hotel thing to do, IMO. OVERALL: A nice restaurant choice if you don 't feel like driving into Lahaina town or further. Food flavors and creativity do not justify the high prices."
