Lineage Maui

The food was excellent as was our server and server’s assistant. However, my expectations at a Relais & Chateaux affiliated restaurant is an impeccable overall experience and this was not it. We had made reservations two days in advance and I had called to confirm. We were told we would be seated in their beautiful garden. When we got there, they didn’t seat us until 20 minutes after our reservation. They tried to seat us in their bar seating - which was empty due to COVID. I’m not sitting in the bar to eat a $125 prixe fix meal. Then we waited for awhile and they sat us on the wall side of a balcony - would be a great spot at 6:30 for sunset, but it didn’t have the romantic ambiance of the garden. The other major issue was the food pacing was incredibly slow- I recognize timing is a fine art but this was noticeably slow, noticeably late. And we kept getting served after people who had arrived after us. I get that these things happen but again- if you have the R&C badge, I’m expecting excellence. Food wise, it’s worth going (the food is very, very good), but be prepared for hiccups.

The food at Lineage is wonderful. We had the short rib which was not over cooked, ｆａｌｌｉｎｇ　ａｐａｒｔ　　ｊｕｓｔ　ａｎ　ｅｘｃｅｌｌｅｎｔ　ｐｉｅｃｅ　ｏｆ　ｂｅｅｆ　　ｔｈｅ　ｓｈｒｉｍｐ　ａｎｄ　ｐｅａｓ　ｗｅｒｅ　ｄｅｌｉｃｉｏｕｓ　　ｗｅ　ａｒｅ　ｄｅｆｉｎｉｔｅｌｙ　ｇｏｉｎｇ　ｂａｃｋ　

Amazing food!! Great service! Will be back next time we visit!

Table of four and waiter forgot half of the table’s order. Waiter admitted he made a mistake and afterwards was friendly but was over friendly like he was trying to make up for his mistake and it was just too much and got unbearable. Reserved table in advance but stuck us next to the employee door but I have to admit not as bad as the poor family that was seated next to the bathroom. I would think at low capacity due to covid there would be better seating arrangements. Got the fried chicken, there was two choices, waiter assumed the choice I wanted or maybe there was misunderstanding because we were wearing masks and couldn’t hear each other? I don’t know, in any case, when my food arrived it was the wrong fried chicken. The crab toast was very oily, schezuan noodles was okay but not numbing as the waiter described it. When we first arrived, waiter said prepare for ur expectations to be blown away. It was not. I hate it when I spend a lot of money on a terrible dining experience.

great food amazing staff !

This is by far our favorite place on the island!

Highly recommend the oysters and the wagyu short ribs

Was awesome as always!

We arrived at Lineage after multiple recommendations from waiters and chefs in other restaurants. We started with Ahi Poke & One Ton Salad with the turmeric ginger sauce. The sauce was excellent with the fresh greens and ahi. For our main meal we shared the Korean Fried Chicken with Sweet Kochujang glaze and Fried Vegetable Rice. The half chicken was the size of a whole chicken you would find in grocery stores and was cooked perfectly. We finished with Coconut panna cotta with Coffee ice cream, an excellent mix of flavors.
The service was excellent as well. Our server was attentive and everything showed up on time, giving us just enough time in between courses. We ended up spending almost 2.5 hours for our dinner.

Some of the best food we’ve ever had as well as great service! We cannot wait to go back!

Terrific recipes, great presentation. Will definitely make this a regular place to eat when in Wailea.

This was our favorite restaurant on Maui! Wow- amazing food and service. We were walked from beginning to finish by our waitress who was also phenomenal. We had their signature Korean fried chicken (by far the best we have ever had). I'm not sure how they did it, but it was the crispiest chicken even when drenched in their tasty sauce. I can't wait to come back and visit. Truly an amazing experience.

The food and beverage at Lineage is consistantly outstanding along with the service.
The outdoor seating ambiance could be improved with some fun rattan lighting overhead but the food and service makes up for having dinner in a shopping center. We are fans.

Incredible Food!

We had the crispy noodles I highly recommend, they were delicious and a fun experience with the table side preparation

Best meal we’ve had in Maui so far! Would definitely come back.

I was very impressed by the chef inspired food, mixed drinks, outstanding service and fun atmosphere. A must go for dinner on Maui!

food was outstanding as was the staff. we will definitely go back next time we are on Maui

Delicious flavors!

The food was amazing
Very friendly and helpful staff

Everything we ordered was flavorful and cooked to perfection!

Absolute favorite restaurant on Maui! Bomb food and drinks plus the ambience and service are spectacular.

We brought our friends since they had never tried Lineage! They really enjoyed it as much as we always do. I gave the crispy noodles with the mushroom gravy another try since the last time they added the gravy before it came to the table and once again it was on the noodles ahead of time, so the noodles were not crispy, but it still tasted delicious. Having the noodles crispy at your table is such a better presentation though! :-)

Another wonderful dining experience at Lineage. Food was delicious as always and we tried out some of the specialty cocktails this time - super yummy. The gin special with the lime juice (whose name I don't recall) was really delicious.

And our host, Joshua, was so welcoming, explained the approach to the menu, answered all of our questions (three of us are vegans) and was wonderfully attentive. He's the best!

Anniversary dinner. Food and service was outstanding. Will be back. Need more dessert choices.

We had such a great date night here! The food and drinks are so innovative and Chef Mijin is such a talent in the kitchen! We can't wait to get back here and try the rest of the menu! Mahalo for making our night special!

Great good and customer service! We will come back again. The best chicken we ever had.

Amazing. Just order everything and enjoy.

Absolutely delicious

Ate here for Christmas dinner during COVID and was impressed with s safety measures. We at outdoors and our server was very attentive and helpful. Food was great and we all enjoyed our experience. Unique and flavorful dishes. Would definitely return and recommend.

Per usual food was amazing. There was however a rather rude family that had a tantrum over their table. This happens I know but sadly it happened next to us. Ordinarily we are used to the privileged American guest behaving like a privileged brat as that is the basic demeanor of those staying in Wailea, wanna be wealthy Silicon Valley savages, entitled, low class, lacking basic manners and social skills ... maui is currently experiencing them en masse right now. But the staff handled them as best they could and I give them a great deal of credit. Thankfully they LEFT. So a big thank to the staff for clearing them away from us quickly before they ruined everyone’s Christmas Eve.

if they turned the outdoor lights down a bit, I would have given this 5 stars all around.
But, the service was fabulous, the food was outstanding , the cocktails were inspiring,
so we overlooked the lighting and gave Lineage 5 stars. We cannot wait to go back -
so delicious!!!!

Thought they gave kamaina discount but no. They also didn’t have any of the traditional Filipino dishes we were hoping for.

Lineages new Korean Chinese flavors by new chef are outstanding! The Wagyu Kalbi is the best I’ve ever had. In combination with the Garlic Noodles and smashed cucumbers? Heaven.

Big T was a great server and the food was yummy again!

21st anniversary

I wanted to love Lineage, but food just wasn't that good. Crispy noodles with gravy were good, but nothing special. Steamed fish was very good. Wagyu beef was fatty and bone marrow was put on plate to try and save. Crispy shrimp and scallop toast was again just okay. We got pork to go for son and we all tried and it just didn't taste very good.

Sheldon has won us over previously with two great restaurants, but this one needs work.

We’ll be back!

Visiting Maui, this restaurant came recommended. Great cocktails. Service was wonderful. And the food was quite delicious. I had the garlic shrimp. Omg so good.

The Korean chicken is the best ever. Preorder when you make your reservation
