Cafe O'Lei At the Dunes

As my husband and I try to find our new Anniversary restaurant, we opted for this one this year. While it isn't romantic in the least, the service was excellent and the food good. Overall, it was a decent experience. I had the Macadamia crusted mahi mahi with a lemon caper sauce, with the Passion Fruit mai tai ( I should have had the regular) and he had the prime rib special.

In the search for our Anniversary restaurant, my husband and I decided to try this place this year. We were lucky enough to be seated just inside the doors to the outside eating area and so was able to see the sun set over the golf course. It was spectacular! For dinner we chose the Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi with lemon caper sauce and the Prime Rib special. Both were very good. I also chose to drink the Passion Fruit Mai Tai, though I should have had the regular one as the taste wasn't really to my liking. We both also enjoyed the pineapple upside down cake with macadamia nut ice cream. The service was excellent and we were happy to have our vaccination cards verified at the door.

We visited in the late afternoon on a Tuesday. We were surprised to find that we were one of only a handful of groups in the restaurant at that time. We also felt as if we might have over dressed. This is at a golf course (which we didn't know - totally our mistake) so dress for the atmosphere. I ordered a steak with potatoes and veggies. The steak tasted fine. It was cooked well and the sides were tasty. The quality of the steak left me wanting. The views on the back patio were really nice. Be ready to shoo away some birds as we discovered is pretty customary no matter the location. The price was the best part here as everywhere else we had eaten seemed to be overpriced. Not the case here. Would try again if we had more time.

Like everywhere else in Maui, freaky about masks, vaccine cards but otherwise a good experience. Food was terrific. If anything i wish the place had been busier. There was a quietness to the place that was a bit weird. Our waiter was friendly and just the right amount of familiarity as much as possible through a face mask.

My first time here... inexpensive food for a beautiful atmosphere! The food was delicious. Definitely will be returning.

Great local lunch and dinner meal at reasonable price. Friendly service and great daily special.

There was a piece of metal in our caeser salad. Totally unsafe, disgusting, and unprofessional. This could have caused someone to choke or break a tooth. This ruined our appetite. The other meals we had were okay - but nothing special. This is a place that should not be serving food. They are clearly not professional or clean enough to make sure a piece of METAL does not fall into food.

Yum ! Great food, fantastic atmosphere and service. Gorgeous setting and views. Will be back often. Really well prepared food and drin at reasonable rates. Dinner and drinks was great

Had the blackened fish (I forget what kind), poke nachos, fried calamari. They were all delicious. Staff was also very friendly.

Just one of my favorite restaurants to go to.

We made a curbside pickup order through the convenient online order platform. Our food was ready when promised and it was brought out as soon as I called to say that we had arrived. We ordered Kula Ranch burgers that include cheese and fries and they were delicious.

A combination of good food, good service and an amazing view. As with every non-chain restaurant in Hawaii, prices are about 50% higher than comparable in the SF Bay Area, so be prepared and support them, it's worth it. We generally ate our way through Maui and all I can say is that we enjoyed some of the best food we have had in years at nearly every meal.With that in mind, and thinking back, this was actually not only the best value but the very best food we had on our trip.

This place is great ?. The meal was so delicious, I've been back 2 times this week. Servers were friendly and efficient. I'd go again but alas my time in Maui is over and I'm on my way home.

Great food for a great price. Beautiful view of the pond at sunset. Go for the prime rib special Wed-Fri. You get tons of amazing food for only $28 bucks!

Tonight their service was on the slow side. Our reservation was for 6:30 , we got seated 10 minutes later. We waited over 45 minutes after placing our order for our food. We understood they were busy and looked like they were short on staff. Our waitress also served as a bartender. All in all our food was delicious and our opu's were happy.
