Worst restaurant experience of all time, hands down. The biggest issues...The waiters/hostesses did not talk. No side conversation. The staff was extremely awkward. For dinner, I asked for teriyaki chicken sans bun, because I'm sensitive to gluten. They brought it out on a plate smaller than the appetizer plate. It was disgustingly dry, in addition to the unprofessional presentation. The... More

We decided to enjoy an ocean view restaurant for our final meal before heading home. We had passed Tropica, liked the location, and knew that the restaurant had a fixed price three course early dinner. That worked for us so we made reservations through the Concierge at the a westin Villas where we were staying. When we arrived there was... More

We went there for our first Breakfast on April 28th, 2013. Tammy waited on us that morning and she was wonderful!!! Prior to our arrival at the Westin Maui Resort and Spa, I had spoken with Mr. John King the Chef about our Daughter's severe Food Allergies. So that morning we were privileged to meet with him personally, and boy,... More

We had my birthday dinner at The Westin's Tropica Restaurant. Beautiful ambiance and great food. Fine dining while seeing and feeling the beautiful ocean. Loved it!

We got a complimentary 5 course meal for two people thanks to doing the time share 90 minute tour. I'm not a fan of seafood so they swapped the options that were only seafood to chicken. 1st course was small and had me a little worried, but was lovely tasting. 2nd and 3rd courses were a decent size and was...

Tropica is one of the restaurants we always visit when on Maui. The view is wonderful and the food is always extremely good. It's fun to eat at sunset and watch the booze cruise boats sail by and see all the people walking by on the boardwalk. We will go back the next time we are on Maui!

I took my sister here for her birthday. The location was great -- had tiki torches, view of a waterfall, view of the ocean at sunset. The food, however, was only okay. I had a chicken dish, and it was really dry! My wife's fish was dry! My sister's medium steak was cooked well-done! Pretty frustrated. The only highlight was... More

We did the 5 course tasting menu and had a really amazing night. Every course was delicious and fresh, the service was great, and the views over kaanapali beach are tough to beat. We had a bit of a later meal but I'm sure it'd make for an incredible sunset dinner if you request the tables right next to the... More

I am sad to here that Tropica will be closing. One of my wife and I's favorite places to eat and grab a drink. The bartender Freddie S. always had great recommendations and great conversation. While it was a bit pricey, the food and drinks were always worth it. The location cannot be beat, there is nothing like the view... More
