    Got seated in the bar at basically end tables pushed together where you’d be eating your meal at your knees, and then sat almost a half hour before anyone came around. Prices as much as Mama’s, which this place has no right to charge in comparison. Stick with Ko or Nicks if you want a pricy Wailea dinner.

    The restaurant is set in a lovely location and has a charming ambiance which initially gave me high hopes. The staff were pleasant enough, but unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The food was a real letdown. For the high prices charged, I expected something far more refined and flavourful. What I received was underwhelming, both in presentation and taste—honestly, I could have made a better meal at home for a fraction of the cost. There was a clear disconnect between the price point and the quality of the food, making the entire experience feel like poor value for money. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to others.

    We almost walked out after our initial seating. We had a reservation and there were plenty of tables (restaurant was never crowded!) but they put us in the very back, in a corner, with my husband facing the extra high chairs. It made no sense to put us back there with no view. We asked to be moved to the bar and had a spectacular view of sunset and it was lovely! As for the food, it was very good! The ONLY complaint would be the scallop appetizer only having two at a price of $48! A bit pricey for two! We did have an outstanding server, Brian! He was the perfect blend of personable, attentive, offered recommendations, and allowed us to take our time and enjoy ourselves! Kudos to him!
    HumuhumunukunukuāpuaʻaResponded 1 day ago
    Dear Kimberly, Thank you for sharing your thoughtful impressions. It is delightful to hear that you appreciated our exquisite cuisine, the breathtaking sunset view from the bar, and the exceptional service provided by Brian. We have duly noted your feedback regarding the initial seating arrangements and the portion size of the scallops for our consideration. Your insights are invaluable in our quest for continuous improvement, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you back for another remarkable experience.

    This restaurant is terrible. Incredibly overpriced for the quality. I thought the food was inedible. Service was great but not worth the money at all.

    This was our first time at this restaurant and it was absolutely amazing! Kylie took such good care of us as we were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. We cannot say enough about the scenery, and I truly believe it was the most beautiful sunset in Maui that I have ever seen.
