    We had an amazing experience at the Chef's Table. The food was gorgeous & beautifully presented. Miguel (chef) was such good company! It's very pricey, but the experience was glorious.

    Great tasting menu with unique dishes and ability to talk with the chef and cooks about the dishes and preparations. Wine pairings were ok, not sure it worth $150 each. Will definitely return and set reservations months ahead of time

    This was the most amazing dining experience ever. My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner and sat at the chef‘s table. We were treated to eight or nine courses of creative and very delicious food and about 8 different wines from the pairing option which we added. The chefs were very personable. Our server was awesome. What a night. Highly recommend for a special occasion

    Just truly amazing, the best dining experience that you will ever have on Maui or any of the islands. Better than any of the places that I’ve been on the mainland. These guys are top notch, and should be appreciated as such!

    Truly spectacular, will definitely be back. Have had many tasting menus around the world (EMP, Chef’s Table, Central, Maido) and the experience here at Ka’ana competes with the best. Every dish is thoughtful in flavor and meticulously crafted with local ingredients, and the level of service is impeccable. Chef dropped in several times throughout the night to check in on our experience, and the team (s/o to Ashley) went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying the food. Highly recommended for foodies and anybody who appreciates the art that goes into building incredible tasting menus.

    This was my wife and I’s last meal in Maui and it was a special one! The chefs table is a treat and one that we highly recommend. Chef Chance and his team were fantastic to watch work and served up great dish after great dish. We did the cheaper of the two wine pairings, and we were pleased with it. The service and views were top notch and so fun! The whole team made it feel like a special experience, thank you Chef Chance and team!

    This stands out as one of the best tasting menu experiences I've ever had. The chef described each course, and the sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable. The food selections were fresh, unique and spectacularly plated. There's a reason they are listed as a top 5 food experiences in all of Hawaii.

    The Chef's Table experience was great!! There were lots of courses, but small portions, so that you didn't feel overly stuffed upon exiting! =) It was a busy night for the restaurant with a few large parties of 20, so the delivery of the food was a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry.

    Probably the best Chefs Table jive attended, and I've attended a few internationally. Six courses including dessert and every one was delicious. And the great thing was these weren't "special" dishes, they were off the regular menu. Every guest could get the same food, just not in the variety and quantity. And the chefs, six of them, were approachable, friendly and willing to share. Really an enjoyable experience.

    父の誕生日を祝う夕食会をマウイ島滞在中に。 基本的に、おまかせコースしかないです。 もちろん、どのプレートも美味しくいただきましたが、自分で選びたい人には、不向きなレストランでしょう。 あらかじめ要望を伝えておけば、対応してくれます。例えば、母は蜂蜜アレルギーなのですが、全て蜂蜜抜きで調理してくれました。 私は少食なので、量を少なくしてもらいました。 味つけもシンプルで、なかなか良いなと、思います。

    I had a great time at the chef’s table. So much fun and great service. $125/pp without the wine pairing, the wine pairing was an additional $125/pp. Pretty spendy. We just had a couple cocktails with our meal instead.

    Stay in the hotel for our anniversary and chose Ka’ana kitchen chef’s table for our first dinner. Amazing food (we truly enjoyed every course and wished our stomachs were bigger); great wine paring (maybe just one off for me cause I can’t do too sweet for my wine, but the sommelier quickly replaced it to something that is exactly to my liking); and amazing people that made our whole dining experience memorable! We had so much fun watching the chefs in action and asking questions or just their cooking tips whenever we can. Highly recommend if you are in town!

    On top of being an exceptional meal, it was an experience. We were right there watching the chefs prepare this wonderful meal. They even took time out to talk with us and answer our questions. Come hungry, you will be served a 6 course meal, sampling everything on the menu. The portions are more than what I would consider a ‘sampling’ and one was better than the next. Our favorites were the fried chicken with a gluten free rice cake waffle (both were flavorful and delicious), and the ahi tuna and burrata. This was by far our favorite meal in the islands (and we had many great meals). Do not miss it!

    The Chef's Table at Ka'ana Kitchen is a great way to spend a special evening with a loved one or friends. With small plates and wine pairings spread over three hours, there was plenty of time to discuss the food preparation with Chef Jonathan as well as catch up with the rest of the party. We were able to step outside during the meal for photos of the sunset. And the food was excellent--locally sourced and prepared with care.
