Plantation House Restaurant is a truly exceptional place to take someone you love. The service, the food and the menu choices are Top Shelf. The wine list includes special wines from many of the world’s most renowned regions and yet still has something for every wine lover. All together they help create a most memorable experience.

Juan was an excellent server. The appetizers and sharables were good but the dinner presentations were less than stellar. If comparing to the other Kaanapali dinner suggestions, it is a good change of scenery to go up to Kapalua but is one of the restaurants you could pass on.

We had a fantastic dinner at The Sea House! Food, ambiance and service - everything was perfect. The Macadamia crusted mahi-mahi is the best on the island and Caroline, our server, made the experience memorable for all. We can’t wait to return!
