Our second meal here and very impressed. Great food. The ravioli with prawn and scallop is amazing. Tempura fried calamari appetizer probably the best I've had anywhere. Service is great. Staff is very friendly and efficient. Poor acoustics causes noise level to be high enough to make conversation hard, but not bad enough to stop me from dining here. I will request outdoor seating next visit.

What an incredible restaurant. Food was among the best we’ve had on the island. Service was impeccable. The smoked double-cut pork chop was unique full of flavor…wow.

Remember this restaurant is open from 11 am to 10 pm. The food is so wonderful and delicious. If you find it busy at night, please go during the day. Seating is wide open for lunch and into the afternoon. Drinks are special and very tasty! The prices are reasonable and the ambience great. I would highly recommend this to locals and visitors alike.

On my recent trip to Maui with my sister, had a fantastic dinner with exceptional customer service! Sunshine was very personable and provided excellent service, as well as did our waiter. I don't recall his name but he was tall with a short brown pony tail and was excellent as well. One of the best Quinoa salads around and delicious Gnocchi. The home made Baked Molokini dessert was out of this world! Try this place, you will be so glad you did.

The staff were very friendly and kind. The food was one of the best meals we’ve eaten on the island (and we’ve eaten at Mommas Kitchen). The atmosphere is nice, clean and decorated well. We were comfortable in our athletic shirts in this laid back environment. The staff went above and beyond to help my wife with her gluten, dairy and soy sensitivity. They were very knowledgeable and made her feel comfortable. Thank you!
Dietary restrictions: The staff was great at accommodating my wife’s dietary restrictions. She cannot have gluten, dairy or soy. They made her a delicious pizza and offered to make several changes to the menu items to make them work for her.

Love, love, love this place!!! Excellent local Italian eats, great food and beverage specials with friendly professional service. Wonderful entertainment with Willy Wainwright on electric violin! Loved celebrating many friends birthdays, and special occasions. Big Mahalos!
I had the shrimp and gritz, and it was the best I've ever had! My wife had chicken milanese picatta and it was divine. True artists in the kitchen prepared these dishes!

Yet another excellent experience at Ekolu! Such great food at very reasonable prices has made this a regular dinner date for me and my husband! We also love to gather with friends- it's the perfect gathering place! Thank you Ekolu team!!
I came tonight with a wonderful friend going to see Willy Wainwright, the extremely talented violinist. The place was packed, the music was superb. He played many varieties of songs, and The Phantom of the Opera, Allelujah, Over The Rainbow which was a request from my friend.... Watch Tower - so amazing...... Food was superb, I had the ravioli's with prawns and scallops, Laura was our server who was spot on!!!! Give 6 stars for the entire evening!!! Thank you Willy and Laura for making our night very special... Angela Guerra

Absolutely some of the best food we've had while on Maui. Service was amazing, starting with a cheery welcome as we walked in to our attentive server Robin. Food came out of the kitchen quickly, everything was delicious. Cocktails are creative and a bit whimsical. Great beer selection. Highly recommend.
Staff was very welcoming. Service was timely and attentive. Appetizers and entree's were all excellent and brussel sprouts were the best we have ever had. Everything was great even as left overs. Will definitely recommend to friends and will return.
