    We all loved our dinner. We had the bau buns (they are amazing), the ahi noodle bowl, fresh fish of the day (seabass), and the French onion soup. Everything was delicious, beautiful presentation, great service, and we loved our cocktails too. One of the best restaurants on Maui.

    Mahalo for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed everything—from the bao buns and seabass to the French onion soup and cocktails. It means a lot to be considered one of the best restaurants on Maui. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another memorable evening! 🌺🍸 Mahalo again!

    Not a great experience. The welcome was wonderful and very friendly, my guess is he's the owner. But our service was poor. Very impersonal and felt like we were bothering her. It started off great with drinks coming to the table right away, but then we were left sitting for a long time with no service. I almost got up to see if they had forgotten we were there. And from that point on it was more of the same. Now, that's just one server though and maybe on a bad day. Food was fine, but nothing I would pay nearly $50 a plate for.

    If you're looking for “simple elegance”, Hali’imaile General Store is the place to pick. From the charming eye-catching, plantation-style exterior to the eclectic decor adorning the walls and open shelving in the front dining room, with the light streaming through the picture windows, a plentiful amount of charm oozes in every direction. This restaurant offers the opportunity to still dress semi-casually, but also delight in donning maybe a cut-above dress ensemble for the evening. The preparation of the meals that my friend and I ordered were excellent. I ordered the Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi. The meat was firm yet delicate, each bite a delight. My friend ordered the Blackened Seared Ahi Noodle Bowl, and was thrilled with her choice. There are so many delicious reasons to dine here! 👍👍

We're especially happy to hear Ian made such a wonderful impression—he truly embodies the warmth and hospitality we strive for. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. Mahalo nui loa, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

    We enjoyed the food and ambience. If you have never joined the "InKind" dining network of restaurants, consider joining and perhaps, like us, you will receive a $25 credit on a $75 purchase when you pay using the InKjnd app. Simple! We made a reservation via InKind. We planned lunch to follow a tour of the Maui Gold Pineapple Farm, which was informative.

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you enjoyed both the food and the ambiance—and what a great idea to pair your lunch with the Maui Gold Pineapple Farm tour! Mahalo!
