The restaurant was closed. This should have been known by you. Apparently it closed - out of business - several months ago. Very disappointing.

This restaurant is CLOSED. I am surprised neither 5 Palms OR OpenTable emailed me to warn us. OpenTable even sent a confirmation email one day prior to confirm "are you coming?" Called 5 Palms and you get a recording they are closed and "hope to open at a new location soon." Had to change our plans last minute. Not good.

Unfortunately, the restaurant we booked has been closed since April 1, 2022. No one from the restaurant nor Open Table bothered to contact us of this rather significant change. We were unable to find an alternative for our sitting time to watch the Maui sunset and ended up eating dinner in some dive (the food was good at least). Not quite how we thought we would be spending our anniversary dinner. Oh well. This was certainly the last time we will use Open Table for our dinner reservations. Regards, M. Davidson

Unfortunately between the time I booked this restaurant and the date of our reservation it had closed. Although I was not notified of the restaurant closure and the Open Table alerts continued to come through as per normal. It wasn’t until we were getting a ride from the hotel car service for our dinner reservation that the valet alerted us to the fact that the restaurant had closed. So disappointing. So we had to scramble to find another restaurant with availability last minute, no small feat in Wailea with a party of 5. Thankfully Matteo’s accommodated our party and was fantastic, highly recommended!!

We had made a reservation through open table, but were greeted and initially sat at poor table choice. Ultimately we were seated at an improved location. The staff were quite overwhelmed , potentially due to staff shortage. Three of our four meals were very good. The fourth was terrible, but it was clear that the staff were not able to cope with rectifying the substandard meal.

I LOVE the 5 Palms!! I was very sad to hear that it is closing this up coming Thursday !!!! I can’t believe it!!!! I have been going there for years as I am a flight attendant. I hear it is the Monkey Pod that is coming in to replace it. I have gone to the Monkey Pod up the street and I was NEVER very impressed!!! Pricy and just ok in service and in food. Wishing the new people the best, BUT the 5 Palms will be greatly missed!

We heard not bad things about this place, but we made the reservation a while ago and wanted a date night for our last night in Maui. We would have been better off going to Safeway and getting hot bar food for dinner. This was one of the worst meals I've ever had at a restaurant. Coconut shrimp were rubbery and overdone and the papaya tasted like butternut squash. Save your money on poke and just go to Foodland (where the quality is better too). Also, the poke looked nothing like the photos on Yelp. It came deconstructed in a three-section platter - about 1/3lb poke in one part, plain white unseasoned rice in the middle, and some ginger and faux wasabi on the far part. For $30!! My kale salad was soggy, as in a puddle of water at the bottom of my plate. A couple slimey kale pieces in there too. My boyfriend's burger was incredibly salty... that was a first for us. The side of lemon garlic aioli was just plain mayo. We paid full price for virgin drinks, both of which were full of ginger fibers from the unstrained ginger puree. Our table was literally at the top of the stairs to the pool and beach, meaning anyone coming up those stairs to the hotel above had to walk around us. Plus, we were very far from the beach view. There were probably a dozen other tables open, and they stayed that way for the night, so not sure why we were given the bad table. The tablecloth was covered in stains and dried drips of food. My water glass had sediment or sand in the bottom. Do not go here.

Great food, perfect view of sunset ocean. We had problems with our reservation from Open Table getting to 5 Palms. 5 Palms didn't have our reservation. The hostess said we would be seated in the section for no reservations. But I showed her the email confirmation and we were seated outside.

Not the experience I hopped to have during our holiday. Made reservations 4 months in advance only to find ourselves sat inside what was obviously the cafeteria side of the restaurant. We were sat beside a wedding party and were the only other table there. Felt very uncomfortable listening to wedding speeches. Wasn’t until we left that we realized we were not sat in the good section. I found the host/manager cold, uncaring and disorganized. Not a place I’d return to.

We've been to 5 Palms many times, but this was a disaster. The waiter told us they were closing the end of March. That might explain the over-dressed salad, uninspired entree, and lackluster service. Don't go!

Our server was impeccable, her name was Kimmy. She was knowledgeable and very kind. My husband been ordered a Reuben sandwich and loved it. I was I ordered the fish and chips and was equally pleased. Our view was unbelievably spectacular overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed our bloody Mary’s almost as much as we enjoyed whale watching! I will definitely be looking forward to my next outing there.

The food and service was good but we were sat under some chandelier that was COVERED in cobwebs, spiders and dead bugs. Then bugs kept falling on the table. One even fell into my husbands drink. It was disgusting. Also, wait staff apparently are supposed to wear masks, but half do, and some don’t at all but most just wear it wrong. Now I don’t personally care if they wear a mask but if they’re supposed to, and they don’t, what ELSE don’t they do that they should?? Wash their hands??? IDK it was just kind of a weird setting with bugs and the masks etc.

I’m truly going to miss 5Palms. The ambience is incredible. The beach is gorgeous. And the wait staff Is terrific. I’m going to miss being able to go in and be recognized and welcomed by the employees. I’m dreading what’s to come as it is. (Supposedly) taken over by Merrimans. I worry that it will become just another tourist trap and the beach will become overrun with tourism. Another huge loss to our neighborhood.
