“Huge Tree that covers acres near Historic Front Street in Lahaina”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

This tree is HUGE. Located in Lahaina in Historic Front Street near the CourtHouse and near the Harbor in Lahaina. Make sure to keep taking those pictures of this one of a kind tree. We did see another Banyon Tree up in the mountains past the town of Hana on our trip to the 400ft Falls but it still was... More

“Fantastic tree”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

This is a great tree in the heart of Lahaina, Maui. Carefully cared for with an artist flea market every Sunday in its shade.

“Romantic with comfort”

The food was super! The price was one leg anyone arm's worth but the service was great! The menu was quite different with the variety of fish which we love.

“Blessed by the Banyan!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2013

If you are in Maui, skip the helicopter ride and spend your money on a chef's tasting at the Banyan Tree! It was an experience of a lifetime set against a breathtaking view. My fiance and I had a drink at the bar before dinner. The drinks were delicious and the service was outstanding. We were then escorted to our... More

“Very good hotel restaurant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2013

My wife and I decided to eat here in our final night on Maui and it did not disappoint. The restaurant has a great view of the Ocean so if you do come, make you come while there is sunlight. Their sashimi appetizer was very fresh and tasty. We both ordered the Haku (Hawaiian Snapper) and it was one of... More

“Expensive, but classy and great food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2013

Had a great dinner here at Banyan Tree (again). The service was excellent with a waiter who was very supportive and knowledgeable. Possibly the best Taiwanese pork buns (and most expensive) I've had. Fish was excellent and prepared perfectly. Wine recommended by our server was great pairing with our choices Overall, great food and great service.

“The restaurant has gone downhill”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2013

My husband and I dined at Banyan Tree during our last trip to Maui, in December 2011, and very much enjoyed the experience. In February, we returned to the restaurant, only to be hugely disappointed. The service was atrocious. First, when we arrived, the host did not look up from what he was doing to greet us, until I politely... More

My wife and I have visited many of the better Lahaina restaurants but this was our first time at Banyan Tree. We had an early reservation so we could take advantage of the lovely view. We had a table next to the window. There was an event going on in an area nearby which resulted in background music for us... More
