    We were disappointed not to get a window seat but now understand they are for 4 or less. We are there again in 2 weeks and will hopefully get a window table next time. Can’t beat the scenic views.

    Great time at the Banyan Tree! Very good food. We are vegan and they had plenty of options. Our waiter, Nick was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I loved the open air seating with a view of the ocean. There was Hawaiian music playing that was easy to talk over. I would recommend the Banyan Tree for their Alternative ha spirt and good food.

    We were seated at a garden table at 7 pm. We all ordered the same dish because a couple next to us raved about the Macadamia Nut encrusted Mahi Mahi lemon butter caper sauce. It was OUTSTANDING. Probably the best fish dish that I ever had. I was delighted with the size of the serving. The Mac salad was great as as the rice. The sauce was superb. All of us loved it. The service was excellent. I will be back next year.

    We had a wonderful experience with a Valentine’s Day lunch at Monkeypod. My husband got the Mahi sandwich and I got the fish tacos. Both were delicious! We loved our server but didn’t get his name. Always have a great experience here.

    I ordered the Thai Coconut Curry with Marlin. The fresh, flaky marlin pairs beautifully with the creamy yellow coconut curry, creating a delightful balance of flavors. The dish is expertly prepared with jasmine rice and tender vegetables and just the right amount of spice. The ambiance of the restaurant further enhances the dining experience with a beautiful view of the pool and ocean. James was my server and was very polite, friendly and helpful. Great hospitality and great meal
