Excellent food, great wnes and our server was 5 plus!!

Great casual spot. I liked that proof of vaccination was required. The bread is fantastic. Meatballs delicious. Good pizza. One of our favorite spots.

We’ve had great dinners at Taverna in 2021, but our two recent dinners were disappointing. We were not asked for vax records and there were several employees not wearing masks, or not wearing properly. It’s not surprising this place closed down for a few days due to Covid outbreaks. The service on both visits this year was not polished. Our food was not delivered together and some starters simply didn’t arrive. After sitting down for over 90 minutes without our mains, we decided to pay our bill and go to another more reliable restaurant. Covid has been very hard on hospitality, but there are simple processes, and safety protocols that should be followed. Such a neat venue, but management is lacking.

Great patio space for reunion of four couples. Steve provided great service. Lovely wine selection but inflation has definitely hit Kapalua and Taverna!

We always have at least one meal @ Taverna while on Maui. Last night was no exception to your usual excellence except our dear friends who we meet there didn’t come for health reasons.

Steve was an excellent waiter. We had a wonderful bottle of Italian wine and the pasta special, lasagna and frito misto. All delicious.

Service was excellent. Food was average. Ambience would have been better without the screaming baby. Price was expensive for what you get. Romaine lettuce was not fresh. This is a clubhouse food menu with high end pricing. It’s a better lunch place rather than supper. Wife’s meal was over spiced with to many red pepper flakes.

Despite allowing reservation to be made and getting reminders, the restaurant was "temporarily closed when we got there. We were very upset.

I wish I could leave a review on our experience but 2.5 hrs before our reservation we got a text saying they are closing for the week due to Covid impacts. Sign of the time? Only wish they had made the decision earlier. No way to get another reservation with such short notice. If you book this in the near future consider a back up.

Lunch was good I love there pizza. Service was good just disappointed the luch menu seemed a little limited. overall good

Cooper the bartender was the best. super friendly and funny . Jamie the hostess was very sweet and recommended her favorites from the menu which we order and really liked. The atmosphere is really beautiful.

This was mediocre food served by harassed wait staff. We had 8pm reservations and were one of few indoor tables. The outside patio was full. We sat for 20 minutes before anyone came to give us menus and water for the table and left before we could order any drinks. We waited another 20 minutes before someone came by and took our entire order. We made eye contact with several wait staff trying to order a second round of drinks and were ignored. When we asked to order two drinks each due to the slow service, they refused. Our last drink order was never delivered but was in our bill. While we understand being short staffed due to Covid, this is a business and as such should have either limited their seating or let us know they were short staffed. Honestly, if even the staff smiled and engaged with us a little, it would have improved our experience, but we were pointedly ignored and when we were served, it was with a terrible attitude. The food did not make up for the poor service.

We went for a family dinner. They were short staffed, which is understandable during Covid. We ordered food based off menu and the food didn’t come as described. We mentioned this to the waiter and the waiter said ok sorry, took the food a

They were very short staff. The ones that there tried hard but struggled. They were out of many items. Hopefully they can get it together

Food was not good. Caesar salad was soggy. Short rib was dry. Lasagna was a flat plate of sauce, one layer of pasta, and melted cheese on top??? Gross

The food was only okay. Two items we requested we were told after our order was placed were not available. How do you not know at 5pm what is available? For example, ordered a Caesar salad to be told no romaine lettuce. Our waitress was pleasant but when the person who had wanted the salad then ordered soup instead which was too salty for her taste, the waitress did not ask if she could get anything else for her. It was not the worst dining but we had higher expectations.

It was good. Not great. Limited menu and we would have like to have seen more variety with the pasta options.

Always a great, laid back atmosphere with great food and service.

Only one waitress she did the best she could. Limited menu.

Our foursome had booked an 8 pm dinner reservation for New Year’s Eve several months ago, we were glad to get together in what we locals consider to be a great restaurant. We enjoyed our meal and our server Christine was very efficient, and helped us to have a nice time together without feeling rushed. We were in the process of waiting for our check when all of a sudden a man in a white and colorful Hawaiian shirt came rushing to our table and angrily shouted at us “ You must leave NOW! We need to clear out this table to get ready for the big celebration event!” We were at first startled, then dumbfounded and then angry. We were just waiting for our check and this person burst on the scene to chastise us, we who had just paid for an expensive meal. We learned later that this was the Manager, Gene. We live on Maui and until this incident considered Taverna to be a favorite place. It was apparently a very bad day for Gene. We have traveled many places, eaten in fine restaurants in Maui and other countries. But we had to agree that this was the Worst customer service experience we have ever had. There were so many better ways Gene could have conveyed his message. And so the four of us agreed that this was the Last time we would dine at Taverna.

This may be the worst restaurant on Maui. While the prices are outrageous, the food is less than stellar. There is a charge for the very average house bread, no substitutions of any sort are available with entrees and the $20 salad is no bigger than McDonalds and adding a protein is not an option. Go elsewhere. Do not waste your time or money. If you need something while staying at the Ritz, Sansei and Pour House are excellent options. Even the lobby bar or Honoloa store offer better dining options.

Not very good many empty tables and we had a wait an hour. Good ok not great

Really nice ambience and very open and inviting lanai. Unfortunately our waiter left a lot to be desired. He kept walking behind my husbands chair as a shortcut to get to the outside area. My husband moved his chair back leaving only inches and he then squeezed himself through! We finally asked him to go around and he looked at us like we were crazy. When describing the fish he proceeded to tell us how he ‘jabs it in the face’ when he catches it. Our food took a ridiculously long time to come out and my husbands fish was over cooked. Our waiter mentioned the fish to The manger who was very understanding and came to apologize and remove it from the check . The pasta and clams was delicious and my sons pizza was average .Restaurant is in a great area and has so much potential. Really needs some fine tuning.

We prefer dinner to lunch at Taverna. We had to sit outside on the patio rather than eating inside (except for bar area) and it was terribly windy plus some patrons got up and walked outside the patio area to smoke and the wind blew their smoke in our face. Normally Taverna is one of our fav restaurants on Maui but lunch was less than a desirable experience.

Amazing view. Food great, but take forever since only 1 cook. The problem is I believe server forget ours order. Foods came after table that was after us (same server by the way). Didn't apologize or said anything.

Food was fabulous

Amazing food and gorgeous views!

Christmas!

Food very average, extremely small portions if you have any big eaters. Lasagna was decent. Pizza was bland, had much better pizza at Pi Pizza in Lahaina.

Fabulous in every way!

First time here on Xmas eve. Great service. Food was okay. The lobster pasta tasted a little too fishy, the chicken carbonara pizza was not impressive. No meat really. It looked like a simple cheese pizza. The best dish was the lasagne. Our waiter was awesome.

Wel love the atmosphere and food here and the service is outstanding!!

The linguini with clams and sausage is delicious! The lasagna is pretty good. The tartiere was okay. Service was decent but I have had better. Overall a good dining experience.

Food was average, but very expensive. Restaurant was extremely loud. Service was good, ambiance was nice.

OMG. Every bite we had was awesome. We sat at the bar and had the best service. Grace was fantastic. The manger came over and talked with us about the options on their incredible wine list. The music was great and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Highly recommend.

Food and service were not bad

They should not have advertised being open for lunch and saying thee were only 3 reservations left. There were only 4 tables of us in the entire place. Everything was so disappointing as we thought they would be ready and prepared to re-open.

We were also sad to find out the long time manager/owner was no longer there.

We loved it. Our sever JJ was the best. Great food, drinks and service.

The staff were phenomenal and worked to seat my large party together and offered to take holiday photos too! They went out of their way to create a memorable evening!

Excellent food, great service and an overall great experience.
