Dinner was excellent. Fantastic suggestions, one of which has been on the menu since Canoe was founded almost 30 years ago and we saw why! Services was stellar and was pleasantly surprised at the overall experience.

This place is very fun and has a great vibe. My only issue with the size of the portions. Very, very small for the price. I think my halibut was maybe 2 ounces.

Love mama’s! We try to go every time we’re in Maui and it’s always delicious. Pau Hana is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Love the ambience too and staff is always very friendly.

We love the outdoor dining at Stone. The trees make it so beautiful. There were intermittent whiffs of an unpleasant seaweed-like smell coming from the water feature down the hill, but we still enjoyed sitting outdoors. The Ahi Tuna Melt was a 4.5/5. The cheese could have been melted more to make it a 5. We both tried custom beer flights— a good value and fun! I look forward to returning to this creative venue.
