“Fresh seafood prepared how you like it! Delicious and a must if you are in Maui. I had the Ono in white wine,garlic and butter. Served over Cajun rice. The portions are very generous.“

“Romantic , food was ok ! Butterfish was amazing but the garlic shrimp was only three pieces of shrimp on doughy cheese balls I expected more shrimp or veggies ! Noise in the afternoon not bad ! Presentation good Would have to try more of the menu but will never order the shrimp again“

“Maui Brewing was the perfect setting to celebrate our first empty-nester trip-watching the US Open and Ben Shelton beating the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a historic thrilling five-set quarterfinal match!

Highly recommend. Even though it was the end of a long day, the staff was so accommodating and welcoming.“

“My wife and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary here. It couldn't have been a better spot to choose. Small, intimate fine dining area. Service went above and beyond, the food is the best on the island. I definitely would recommend ordering several of the Mushroom Tartlets and Ahi Cigars.“

“和テイストのフレンチで、とても美味しいですね。“

“We loved both the food and the wine and the service. The place is gorgeous too. We had a wonderful time.“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“Outside table for one at lunch time. Korean barbecue chicken sandwich. Excellent, delicious and messie to eat. I would order again.“

“Deja”s the best, been coming here for two years with the bois to get some Yardies have had multiple servers, but Deja no matter how we act. She has the best attitude and welcomes us with open arms no matter how we acted the night before. Love Deja“

“We did the menu experience which included cocktail pairings. The food and drink combos were perfect. The food started with cold fish, moved to warmer light foods and finished with a rich steak. We were impressed with everything served! With every penny.“

“There was only two ladies working there when we went so it took a little while to get our table and order food, however, the wait time for our food was not bad. I got the ube pancakes and they were delicious! It was good, but I wouldn’t come back.“

“My husband was in search of some good fish in Waikiki. We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I’m not a seafood person so I got the chicken pasta and he tried snapper for the first time. Both of us were blown away by how tasty everything was. The portions were huge too! Out of all the places we had been to during our trip, this place is at the top. Even as a non fish eater, I loved it! There can be a wait, but it is well worth it. Try it, you’ll love it.“

“A real neighborhood joint whose food is good!“

“Great atmosphere, really good food, outstanding staff!“

“Best place to eat in Kāneʻohe Food is great. Service is fast and friendly Served with aloha Lots of parking Live music on Sat. & Sun mornings.“

“We sampled several menu items. We started with the Potstickers which we ordered steamed instead of deep fried. Very good appetizer. Don’t miss out on the Banana Flower Salad, very unique and delicious! We also shared a Banh Mi sandwich, tasty but our least favorite item. And also shared the Gochujang Ramen, it looked and smelled so good we forgot to take a pic until it was half eaten. The very-friendly staff warned us that it would be very spicy “a 7 or 8” but we found it to be more of a 4-5 and absolutely delicious! The Salad and Ramen were tied for our favorite. Definitely a place we will return to. And the Thai Tea was good. We took home half the sandwich, salad and soup. All for less than $60! Incredible value. Updated from previous review on 2026-09-27“

“We were fortunate to grab seats at the bar before a show at the Blaisdell. Beautiful atmosphere, very attentive server/bartender (Kalei), amazing food options and lovely hand mixed cocktails. We were pleasantly surprised and will return!“

“The taste of the food was so amazing and the service was outstanding. The price for what we ordered was so so so low! I could not believe it when I received the check! Hawaiian pancakes are a must!“

“Absolutely our best meal in Hawaii. The right choice to celebrate a special occasion. Our experience was so wonderful, food, wine, atmosphere all made for the best evening. Our server, Julian was absolutely top notch, extremely friendly, attentive, and was just so happy to engage ensuring the celebration was more than we expected. Kudos he deserves it. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely be back.“

Was too excited to eat to take any photos“

“We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian for 8 days. It was a beautiful hotel, and we got breakfast as part of the stay. You have to go within 30 min of opening for breakfast, otherwise a line builds up quickly and it ends up being 1 hr wait. The pink palace pancakes were the recommended and they were superb made with guava. We also got the works omelet, and short rib eggs Benedict, smoked salmon, etc. Everything we had there was very tasty, even the continental breakfast to go was good. Such friendly service staff there in the morning. And also great service at the bar. Ask for a table by the beach to watch the ocean.“

“Great wine pairing dinners!!!!! And always a fabulous sunset. What more could you want these days?“

“We really loved the dishes, especially the foie gras, raviolone, and scallops, but honestly everything we tried at this restaurant was delicious. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the duck Wellington because, as I understood, it had to be requested when booking the table. But we’ll definitely come back to try that dish too 😊“

“Atmosphere is excellent, staff is amazing, the omelette station is very good, Buffett style, some items are really good others miss the mark. Staff does good job in keeping areas filled with food. Price of buffet is reasonable compared to other places in the area.“

“Stopped by LBLE bar twice on our NYE trip to Waikiki.

The 1st time, we stopped by for a drink, waiting for our room. We were able to catch the Saturday afternoon football game on the huge TV, grab HH drinks and some lau lau nachos.

The 2nd visit, we went to watch the week 18 49ers vs Seahawks game, we ordered HH drinks and was able to order from Blake's secret menu! Blake went out of his way to make us a rootbeer float.

The great service from Blake the bartender is what drove us to come back for a 2nd visit. We enjoyed our time spent in LBLE Lounge and will definitely visit again when we are in the area. Shout out to Blake for making our visit enjoyable.

We definitely recommend the Guava cooler and the secret menu item rootbeer float!“

“Good food & entertainment“

“It's my neighborhood so I use it often.This is a Whole Foods store in Kahala Mall, right next to Whole Foods, and although it looks like a pub at first glance, the food is delicious. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy just the food without having to order alcohol.The daily menu is a great deal!I often go on ?Taco Tuesday on Tuesdays. The store opens at 1pm in the afternoon.“

“there’s 5 palm trees at paradise palms (I counted with great difficulty) but the food is great for a quick pick up in between classes. don’t expect michelin stars here.

there’s construction to the south of this place as of writing (Oct 2025) so beware of the noise.“

“First of all, this is not our first visit here for me and my husband. But this time we had our 2 kids with us. We walked in on a Father’s Day weekend on a Saturday, expecting no tables for a family of 4. They were able to sit us by the bar. And it was amazing, the food is great we had the MEGAHAWK, oysters, thick-cut bacon, keiki steak plate and very refreshing watermelon sorbet. Willian and Brian were friendly and superb with their service. As always we will be back again soon. THE STEAK IS NOT A MISTAKE ON THIS ONE!!! 👍🏼💯✅- R.C.“

“Great food ! Our server Elaine was exceptional!“
