Wooden Crate is the best hidden secret! The food is exceptional and the grounds are beautiful. The service is also amazing. If you’re looking for a serene setting away from the norm, this is it. Don’t miss this gem!

Simply delicious. I love the compact menu. Great vegan options that are delicious for meat eaters too. Chocolate mousse is heavenly (you’ll never guess the main ingredient!) highly recommended for a tasty meal in a serene setting.

Delicious Christmas dinner! The Mahi-mahi was light and flavorful. The GF bread was exceptional. The deserts were perfect!

As a local it's always nice to have an opportunity to take my out of town guest for an unexpected dining experience on Maui. It's sometimes not just about beaches, but serenity, calmness, quiet and good conversations over consistently great food.

Set in beautiful “Old Hawaii” sitting on the porch, listening to the wind, looking at the gorgeous foliage and beautiful skies, we enjoyed a delicious 3-course prix fix meal. If you want a quiet, unique food experience, this is the place.

I really wanted to love this experience. I went with my significant other to celebrate my birthday, expecting uber fresh ingredients and beautiful vegetarian options highlighting the bounties that Maui has to offer. The menu changes often, based upon what's available. Maybe we went on an "off" night but the menu we choose from felt pretty dated and certainly nothing particularly special. For instance, our starter options were Ceasar Salad and Tomato Soup. We chose one of each. The salad was fine. Not great, certainly nothing special. The soup was oddly sweet and luke warm. It sort of went on from there. The table decor was a typical small glass vase with dried Statice flowers. Really? Common dried flowers when that side of the island is literally chock full of lush green options? I have to also mention that the restroom was absolutely filthy. Surfaces were grimy, stained and just gross. It's not that hard to deep clean a small bathroom space. The lack of effort here played out throughout the rest of the experience. Was the food terrible? No. Was it great? absolutely not.

The Wooden Crate is set in a beautiful and lush upcountry venue that truly embraces Maui’s natural charm. The surroundings are serene and make for a peaceful escape, but while the ambiance is stunning, the food itself was just okay. The dishes were good, but nothing really stood out or left a lasting impression. It’s the kind of place where the experience is more about the setting than the cuisine. That said, it’s still a great place to visit, especially if you’re looking for a relaxing atmosphere and a change of pace from the busier parts of the island. While the food might not steal the show, the venue makes it worth the trip.
