We had a great dinner here. The lobster risotto was done perfectly. Compliments to the chef. All the cocktails we tried we liked so much we all had at least two. They had a couple big parties and our waitress took care of us to make sure we got our order in so we didn't have to wait long. The layout and atmosphere is good for a nice night out. Definitely check it out.

Nice dark restaurant atmosphere but don’t buy the $40 steak. Could get a better steak back in the Midwest at a local dive bar. Comes with a puny side of mash potatoes and the steak was pretty average. Don’t spend your money here.

I appreciate that they offered a delicious and filling gluten free quinoa and lettuce salad. They even accommodated the request for it to be vegan and gluten free. So happy for this!

Best food for the price I've had so far. Get the ceasar. Get the mahi 100.

Food is edible with few menu items. Nothing special. Drinks are the same.
Service is the WORST.
Was setting at the bar. Finished eating and need togo box. Waited for the waitress but she wasn't there. Then I found serving area with to go boxes and condiments. So I grabbed a box. Immediately to have the waitress yelling at me not to do that. She was very rude and disrespectful with no regard for my dignity. She was not there to bring the box but was ready to be angry. She didn't do her job and was throwing her incompetence on me.

This is the hospitality of Maui.

I will never ever go there again and will think twice before coming to Maui.

Service was sub par.
But the food was worse.
Brussels- undercooked- very hard. Sent them back. Came out the exact same way.
Short ribs just ok.
Coconut shrimp was the only thing decent- and definitely nothing to write home about.
Overpriced- under delivered.

Great service! From the moment we walked in, everyone was so kind and happy to see us.
The food was delicious! We had the mac crusted Mahi and it was soo good. We had some cocktails that were good and strong. Forgot to take pics of the food.

Fantastic meal with options for everyone. I wished I remembered our waitresses' name because she was fantastic. Everyone left happy and very full. Good prices for the quantity and quality of the food.

This is a hidden gem. My wife and I first went here 10 years ago. The macadamia nut crusted chicken and Mahi Mahi is the best you will ever have. The quality of the food has gotten better over the years. Pineapple upside down cake is a perfect end to your dinner.

We got takeout from here and they completely messed up our order. From missing an item, to serving us a pizza with enough garlic to turn Dracula into dust! We asked for gluten free crust and got a wheat crust as well. Server was somewhat short and not very polite either.

A deceiving small entrance that transforms to a very spacious back end restaurant with lots of seating. Our server Travis was friendly and recommended the Asian braised short ribs. OMG! It is so good, slowly cooked during the day and is why it's not available for lunch. The beef simply falls off the bone eith flavor on every strand of beef. Served with rice because you don't want anything else to interfere with the flavors of the braised rib. Make this your first vacation stay dinner as you'll want to come back at least one more time.

We had a fabulous meal at Cafe O Lei in Kīhei. It’s unassuming outside and the atmosphere brightens as soon as you walk in the door. We were wowed from start to finish. The food was amazing and the service was friendly and attentive. Our group had the lettuce wraps (best we’ve had anywhere!), coconut shrimp, eggplant napoleon (beautiful presentation), prime rib, and macadamia nut roast pork. The mashed potatoes were out of this world! The ratings are spot on (which isn’t always the case). Will definitely eat there again next time we’re in Maui and recommend you don’t miss it.
