I don’t eee what all the hype is about. The service was slow and I ordered a medium rare hamburger and was served a well done piece of charcoal. Can’t believe they would actually serve that. They took it off the bill but that was the least they could do. Left hungry and disappointed.

Happy to be able to get a table in late September, but said that Maui businesses are suffering due to to the mixed messages about visitors coming to the island. We decided to come for the day from Honolulu to celebrate our anniversary, and after checking all the reviews and menus for restaurants in the area decided to go with one we knew would deliver a great experience. We’ve dined at all the Monkeypod locations now, including the new Waikīkī restaurant- the Kihei one is the OG and the dining experience is the level you’d expect from the Merriman group: 5 stars across the board.

Amazing restaurant with live music. We came here 3 times in 4 days. Everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend the Mai Tai, Mango Magic, Ahi steak, macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahj, coco corn chowder, pumpkin ravioli, and strawberry pie. Steven was probably the best server I’ve ever experienced. Thank you.

We were seated at the bar without being asked if we preferred a table (which we did). The pizza crust was burned on the edges but soggy in the middle.

Great value for happy hour. Try the no ka oi for something milder than their mai tais.

Really some of the best food (fresh, vibrant, flavorful) and absolutely one of the best servers we have ever had! The cocktails were totally worth it.

Monkeypod continues to be a hotspot and crowd favorite for the Wailea region. Quite busy! The Kalua Pork and Pineapple pizza with pesto was better than ever! Perfect match with Big Island Kona Brewery Pilsner!

Absolutely loved Moneypod. The service was wonderful, the food was delicious. The live music, the little that we saw was lovely. The ambiance and decor was very nice. The only minor challenge, which was addressed, was the portion size of one of the dinner items which was order by two of our party. One was extremely small and you can see the obvious difference. Other than that, Monkeypod was fantastic. Will definitely go back.

On the good side the music was good and the wait staff was great. On the not so good side, the noise level was so high no one could have a conversation and be heard. The fish and chips were so dry they were inedible. The lobster deviled eggs had a bad smell/taste. When asked if modifications could be modified the answer was no…that’s how it is prepared. I’ve been to Merriman’s in Kapalua many times and it’s been awesome, but this variation didn’t live up to that experience. Bill did a great job and was attentive.

We like to visit Monkeypod in Wailea whenever we visit Maui. Generally the food is good and the drinks are well made. The service is always great as well. On this particular visit I was disappointed with my meal (chef's special venison). Even though I ordered is "rare", it was over cooked - more like medium-well. The server explained that it was cooked "sous vide" and finished over a wood fire. I've used sous vide cooking at home and have discovered it's nearly impossible to cook meat rare or medium-rare. To his credit, our server offered to replace the venison with a rib-eye steak, but we were halfway through our meal and I didn't want to wait for another entree to be prepared. Having said all this, it was still a very enjoyable experience and we will return on our next visit.

Not sure what the draw is. Had to yell to be heard. The daily fish special was dry and bland. Many better choices in Wailea for the same price.

Way too loud and crowded - for what you pay it was ridiculous. Felt like I was in a large chain restaurant. And we had reservations and still had to wait for a while to be seated. And parking lot was so crowded we had to circle for 15 minutes to finally get a spot. Very disappointing

We were in Maui and love all the different restaurants. On our last night there we chose Monkey Pot. Everything was delicious and our server was great. And they have a nice selection of gluten free foods. We will definitely be going back!

The service was outstanding which made the overall dining experience very enjoyable. The coconut corn chowder was the best bite of food I consumed during my 8 day Maui trip! The coconut cream pie was so light and perfectly balanced. In all one of my favorite Maui reasturants.

Great restaurant. Our only complaint was upon arrival we went to the bar and were met by a rude bartender and rude upstairs reception. Silly, all we wanted was a cocktail while we waited for our table. Otherwise great table service and good food. Must have mai tais.

We went to monkey pod to celebrate my fiance's birthday. We sat outside as it is a little more quiet. The service is fantastic, and the menu has something to please everyone, including our picky 10 year old. I ordered the Ahi steak with bock choy and Jalapeño mashed potatoes, the others have the spicy pork tacos, steak and pizza for the little one. And for desert, we got a unique macadamia nut cream pie that was divine. Thank you for a great evening!
