"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."

I thought it was a 5-star restaurant, but unfortunately it is now permanently closed.

I was pleasantly surprised with this Italian resort restaurant on Maui. The food is good and the service is excellent. The view is nice and it's convenient if you're staying at one of the Kaanapali resorts.

Pretty consistent great food since they opened. The fettuccine is sooo good, I just wish they would bring back the Jidori chicken. I have not had a bad meal or bad service. Great space, great ambience. If you are staying here or nearby you can't go wrong. This is a restaurant you would expect at Westin.

Nice restaurant at the Westin Kaanapali Villa Resort. I ordered the risotto crusted pesce with monchong and my husband ordered the vegetable pizza. Both were delicious ! The service was wonderful and the ambience romantic. Based on what we ordered I feel the restaurant deserves more than a 31/2 star rating. Some of their menu items are a bit pricey but you are on Maui so everything is pricey! View menu

I would suggest not wasting your money at this restaurant. It might be the only Italian restaurant that cannot make a proper cappuccino. The cappuccino we received tasted more like hot chocolate. When we asked if they had mixed up our order, the server explained that they only have pre-packaged cappuccino and remaking it would not make a difference. The olive oil cake was the better choice of the two desserts. The budino was served in a large wine glass, which made it difficult to eat. Both desserts would be suitable for a pool bar, but not for a high-end Italian restaurant. I agree with the majority of other reviews and recommend dining elsewhere.

The Pulehu Italian Restaurant was absolutely amazing. Despite being located in the middle of the Westin Resorts, the atmosphere was peaceful. John's childhood friends, Thomas and Tina Cooper, made dinner reservations to celebrate John's birthday. Everything about Pulehu's exudes elegance. The waitstaff and hostess were exceptional in the hospitality industry. Now, let's talk about the food. The menu features Chef Prepared dishes that are not overly expensive. We started with Calamari and Bruschetta, both of which were delicious. Our main courses were well-presented and generously portioned. We were able to take a break from our meal to watch the sunset and return to finish eating. Tina surpr...

I don't get the 3.5 stars. This place is solid. We had a group of 10. We were escorted to an area where was more private for our group. The place is classy and very clean. Our service was immaculate and really attentive. Our drinks were always full, and the servers checked on us often for everything that we needed. All of the food worked, but the ones that really stood out was the ossobucco, risotto crusted monchong, and porcini crusted lamb chops. The ossobucco was so tender! And the bone marrow was so elegant. The meat fell off the bone and was so tasty! The monchong was cooked perfectly. The risotto crust offered a nice texture difference to the moist and soft fish. The porcini crust was... View menu

We didn 't have high expectations for this restaurant, being that most hotel restaurants leave something to be desired. That being being said, we decided to give it a try since we are staying here and it was convenient. We were BLOWN AWAY! Our server was Amy and she was phenomenal. Very friendly, incredibly fast and pleasant service. And then the food. We had the Brussels Sprouts and the Gnocci to start. I don 't usually like gnocci because I find it 's usually dense and chewy. This gnocci was light and flavorful and perfectly amazing. We devoured this! The Brussels sprouts were some of the best we 've ever had, the balsamic reduction was incredible. For entrees my husband had the Chicken Pa...

Price: prefix menu for $41 per person is pretty good deal. Otherwise, it can be expensive. Salads are between $13-15, 8 inch pizza for $18. Main dish between $30-50. 3+ star. Ambiance: very chic and romantic, by the koi pond. 4 star. Location: inside of the Westin Ocean Villas, South building. It is a bit hard to find... you can vallet park or self park. We vallet our car since it is not clear where the self park garage is! 3+ star. Meals: pretty good Italian food! The bread is very fresh, moist and worth every carb calories! Good portion. Nothing creative here! 4 star. Service: I was surprised that they have so many complaints! Our waitress Kara is very nice. The hostest is this little olde...
