I have eaten at Ko many times in the last couple of years as I live across the street. I have always enjoyed it immensely. A while back I said in a previous review that i believed Ko was the best restaurant ive been to on Maui in over 40 years of coming/living here with the possible exception of Nylos. The food is always super imaginative, carefully prepared and cheerfully delivered and I stand by my prior review still. Well done folks!
It was our 29th anniversary and we've been to Ko a while ago and really enjoyed it back then. This year we decided that's where we would celebrate our anniversary. They have a nice spin on local dishes which we loved. Upon our arrival we were greeted warmly by Sylvia. We were early but they had a great table ready for us. Then we met Janrey and Zeb. Zeb aka Z, was very nice and friendly and excited to have us as his guests. He thoroughly explained what Ko is and all of the dishes...read full review

Kō Restaurant, located within the Fairmont Hotel on Wailea, Maui, offers an exceptional dining experience. The restaurant is known for its pricy yet indulgent menu, featuring dishes such as the Mauka harvest salad, vegan udon noodles, fish of the day course, and pork buns. The lamb ribs are a must try, and the 2lb Wagyu tomahawk is more than enough food for two people. The service is top-notch, with friendly staff and prompt attention to customers, though some diners have reported service that wasn't very good.
The menu has been recently updated, with a brand new selection that has impressed diners. The food is described as "off the charts good" and capturing the exotic Hawaiian flavors. Popular dishes include the pomegranate lamb ribs, ginger-steamed Opakapaka with crispy lobster, and the crispy Kona Kampachi. The food and ambiance were both fantastic, with friendly, attentive, quick, and incredibly knowledgeable service. Diners find the dishes delicious and beautiful presentation. The malasadas were the best.
The restaurant's atmosphere is trendy and spacious, with various seating options. The open-air setting, located poolside in the Fairmont Kea Lani, adds to the dining experience. Kō Restaurant is a great choice for a special occasion or a treat, with its updated menu and exceptional service. The team was incredibly flexible with reservations and made a point of recognizing anniversaries, which is such a thoughtful touch. Guests feel genuinely special and well cared for throughout the evening. Really lovely hospitality all around
