I’ve been to Maui a few times and the menu is all over the place on this one. The price is super high and the food is not that good. I’ve had better food at the burger shack down by the beach than this one. Really any place in Maui would be better. The only thing I really like about this place is the view! It is an amazing view!

Steak and food was very good, but service very very slow and more attention to clean glassware is expected at a restaurant of this caliber.

Our server was very good (Dustin), the menu is limited for choices. The steaks were good but nothing special (I’m not sure the josper oven added much) sides were ok. The restaurant is very overpriced for what you get. I wouldn’t go this place again, the service prevented a lower rating.

Food was good but very overpriced. Not to mention that the steak came overcooked and had to be sent back. Great views.

Wonderful experience and the Josper Oven prepared items are a must! We had the grilled fish and a NY steak to share and the flavors were amazing, nothing like we had ever experienced. The Maui onion dip was also fantastic.

Slow service but friendly staff. Food was mediocre and took forever to come out. Lobster was hard in the gnocchi. Burrata was fine, Brussel sprouts was good. Very pricey, amazing location right by the water but would not come back.
