"We love the Naupaka Terrace for "girls' day out", family brunch, and entertaining out-of-town guests. It is always so pleasant and the scenery is beautiful! We get to take our time and "play tourist" and there is no traffic hustle and bustle like Waikiki. The staff is always friendly, so attentive and always smiling. You don't need to "twist any arms" of friends from town to drive all the way out to the Ihilani for a perfectly lovely brunch!"

"We recently made a reservation at Naupaka for Mother's Day Brunch through Open Table. The Mother's Day Brunch menu on the Open Table site indicated a price of $39 for adults. When we arrived we found that the price was $59 for adults. Still the food was good and atmosphere was very pleasant. Users of Open Table should call the restaurant directly to confirm pricing."

"One aspect that i love about Naupaka Terrace and the main reason why i highly recommend it to my guests is the open air feeling. The large size restaurant allows you to feel relaxed and you are able to enjoy a morning coffee without the feeling that you are rushed to leave. The staff are always friendly and it makes the experience so great! Keep up the good work!"

"Ate there for Sunday brunch. Food was ok but nothing spectacular. A highlight was the juicer near the juices. It met expectations but no more. Service was a bit slow, although as it was a buffet, not much service was needed."

"Upon arrival, Sarah the hostess greeted me by my name. She whisked me off to a table with an excellent view of the pool and ocean and politely invited me to enjoy myself. Lisa was my server who quickly greeted me and took me on a tour of the menu. She explained the concept and background of the property. Danny threw down at the omelet station, and created exactly what i was craving! Maria and Patricia both stopped by to ensure i had everything i needed. The Ihilani property and all the staff definitely create a memorable experience and show that it is truly the "Heavenly Splendor" you are looking for!"

"We usually dine here for special family birthdays and anniversaries. This time it wasn't as good as they usually are. The prime rib seems as if it was roast beef and the fish was over cooked. A bit disappointed this time aroung. We have tried other prime rib seafood buffets around the island and Naupaka usually sets the standard. Maybe next time?"

"I took my boyfriend on a date for our anniversary and he was stoked! He loved the food (we had buffet) and he also loved loved loved the dessert! Our waiter brought us a small cake with ice cream and told us happy anniversary and my boyfriends face lit up. I was just so happy to see that he was having a good time because he always takes me out but I never take him out. So this was a first experience and a great one!"

"The Saturday night Seafood Buffet was awesome! Baked & Raw oysters, shrimp cocktail, clams, snow crab legs, seafood curry, clam chowder, and pan fried mahi mahi with a miso-soy glaze.
There's plenty for the non-seafood enthusiast: prime rib, roast duck, an assortment of salads, teapenade and cheese bar, fried rice, cheese toretelini, steamed veggies and mashed potatoes. Dessert - an assortment of cakes and a fondue bar and lots of fresh fruit.
My favorites were the mahi mahi, crab legs and prime rib. The crab was so fresh and flavorful, the prime rib was so tender and perfectly seasoned, and the only word for the mahi mahi is "unforgettable".
The service is great - friendly and personable! $50 is worth it for a special occasion."

"Started with restaurant not "seeing" our reservation. Wife had Tofu and could not finish because it was tasteless. I had some fish that was dry and tasteless. Drinks were watered down and very expensive.
Dinner for 4 @ $200.00 was the worst $200.00 dinner I have ever experienced. The dinner wasn't worth 1/2 that amount. Stay away."
