“Burgers! Aloha from local country folks!“

“Overindulged! The joyful experience of our 36th anniversary dinner will be one that we’ll be chasing over and over again! We were overindulged from the moment we sat down at the table with the most beautiful view, surrounded by soothing live music. The care and concern from each and every staff member was evident, making sure that the best possible bottle of wine for our meal was chosen, that our water glass was never too empty, that each plate delivered was well executed and well presented and explained, when done each time dishes were taken away quickly, the pacing of the meal was well done, just everything and everything! Perfection! And a special note to Sasha- we already noted during our meal service- the finesse and skill you brought to the level of service was just outstanding! Kudos to you and to the team that supports you in making sure that each of your tables gets the attention that they deserve! To say that our anniversary dinner was memorable is truly an understatement! It will be that feeling of being so well taken care of and that every orchestrated element enhanced our celebration will be what brings us back over and over again. We already are making plans to come back and I know we will be coming back over and over again! With our deepest appreciation! …and then the food! Truly the best farm to table experience on Maui! From the amuse buche course(s!) that wet our appetite for more goodies to come. The locally sourced ingredients shined with their freshness and the finesse in which they were presented. Two highlights were the Maui onion soup presented with the perfect amount of cheese and puffed pastry topping- just perfectly seasoned. And then the Haleakala filet mignon, once again perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned and topped with compound butter that was melted at table side with rosemary. (It feels like we are saying perfect too much! But we do mean it!) Then to end the evening celebration with our chocolate lava cake surrounded by white and milk chocolate fondue with banana bread and fresh fruits was simply scrumptious! Chef Junior Ulep, Mahalo for our special night, with our deepest grateful hearts, we appreciate your mana and the joyfulness in which you have chosen to feed us and our fellow patrons at Kula Lodge Restaurant!“

“One of the nicest experiences on Maui. If you are in the area, it is worth a visit.

Cocktails were excellent and unique. I recommend the Pina on the Rocks, it was an innovative twist on your traditional pina colada and was the best cocktail I had on my visit to Maui.

The food was some of the best we had on our trip. Portions were large and the dishes themselves were a refreshing change to other alternatives nearby. Both of our starters were excellent and our mains were good as well. The only critique for our party was the fish was slightly overdone for the market catch and noodles. **The Mexican fried chicken on the special menu was incredible. It was the highlight in terms of food and I would highly recommend it if it’s available.

Colin, our server and the rest of the wait staff positively contributed to our experience and the overall atmosphere offering great recommendations throughout the evening.

With great food, an incredible view and an amazing atmosphere with strong service. I would highly recommend Gather on your next visit to Maui. We will certainly be back!“

“We had dinner there last Sunday. Food was great, service was fantastic and it was just how we remembered it to be. We had ate at the Waikiki location years ago and knew we wanted to find the Maui location on this trip.“

“Super food, excellent service Totally recommend it Again soon“

“Some of the best chicken tacos I have ever had in my life! And the staff are super friendly and awesome! Highly recommend!“

“❤️❤️🤙🤙so ono the burgers!! And the staff are friendly!! I’ve been coming to colleens for at least 10 years and the food is always ono.“

“The Noodle Bowls are Great.“

“Chicken potstickers and coconut shrimp both very good. Fish tacos good - can’t say excellent as slightly overcooked and accompanying sauce was not the best I’ve had - a little under-flavored. That said, service was kind, courteous and *unobtrusive* and the view of the sunset cannot be beat. Beautiful setting! We will be back to sample more menu options - like the deep fried pickle chips.“

“I can’t speak highly enough of this stand. The hot dogs are delish (who knew there was a perfect ketchup to dog ration?!) the service is incredible and the seating vibe is fun and chill. We started coming over a few times a week after school, we have a hot dog, read a book, and finish up with shave ice cream“

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a vibrant atmosphere and the promise of expertly crafted cocktails.Nadine, our server, was an absolute gem. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for her craft elevated the entire experience. She guided us through the menu with precision, recommending cocktails that perfectly suited our tastes.Speaking of cocktails, Botero Bar truly excels in this department. Each drink was a masterpiece, skillfully crafted with premium ingredients and innovative flavors. From classic favorites to unique creations, there was something to delight every palate.But what truly set Botero Bar apart was the exceptional service. Nadine's warmth and professionalism made us feel welcome from start to finish. Her knowledge of the menu and dedication to ensuring our satisfaction truly made the evening memorable.Overall, my experience at Botero Bar was nothing short of fantastic. From the stellar cocktails to the outstanding service, every aspect exceeded my expectations. Whether you're a cocktail aficionado or simply looking for a great night out, I highly recommend paying a visit to Botero Bar. You won't be disappointed.“

“Amazing food! There is almost always a line but totally worth the wait.“

“As a local it's always nice to have an opportunity to take my out of town guest for an unexpected dining experience on Maui. It's sometimes not just about beaches, but serenity, calmness, quiet and good conversations over consistently great food.“

“Great local food. I highly recommend them if you’re a local or on vacation.“

“Amazing food! There is almost always a line but totally worth the wait.“

“The luau at gilligans was absolutely amazing!! The staff is an amazing group of people, very friendly and inviting, the luau was interactive and at the end we felt like old friends! The food was plentiful and amazing and the drinks were even more so!! Would recommend if you’re looking for a smaller more intimate luau.“

“Service was fantastic. Very quick and attentive service. Highly recommended“

“The music was a little loud for us old folks but I had the best white Russian I've had in a long time. Food was great. lots of sports on TV's and one funny stunts channel that had us rolling! we will go back asap.“

“Wanted a nice meal at their restaurant & they put us in a tight table. I asked the hostess to please move us as there was a huge plant crowding Jon & almost getting into his face. The hostess retorted sarcastically, "we can move the plant.". How's that for keeping a patron happy 🤣 Tommy Bahama“

“Fantastic food!! Great service!“

“The 50’s diner feel was real! Staff was super accommodating. The Betty Boop art takes you back. Loved the jukebox. Milkshakes were delish! Our burgers did not disappoint! The house sauce gives it that Maui feel!“

“What a cute eclectic place. Very local feel. The people were super friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The bread was AMAZING...fresh baked with butter. We got the pork weiner schnitzel. It was crispy and so tasty with gravy, a salad and great augratin potatoes. Comfort food! Different and worth finding.“

“Absolutely incredible dinner. Best mai tai we had and the tempura pink snapper WOW- life changing! Please make it a regular on the menu!!!“

“staff is amazing food and drinks are 100 percent 😋“

“If you want fine (5 star) food in an intimate setting (5 tables) then this is for you! We loved it. Thank you for making our 15th Anniversary Dinner a memorable delight!“

“We ordered two breakfast sandwiches, one Spam, egg, and cheese, and the other Portuguese saugage(linguica), egg, and cheese. They both had great flavor, and were a decent portion, for a good price! The two sandwiches cost us less than one cost at a different breakfast spot we went to previously. The restaurant itself isn't very updated, but don't let that fool you!“

“The music was a little loud for us old folks but I had the best white Russian I've had in a long time. Food was great. lots of sports on TV's and one funny stunts channel that had us rolling! we will go back asap.“

“Saw The Clowns from Orange County play at PBCB! Outrageously fun show! Great venue for live music both local and mainland bands! Great food and drink prices!“

“One of my favorite upcountry restaurants. I am always pleasantly surprised by how good the food is here. 🌺“

“What a fantastic performance Brenton put on with Mulligan's Magic Show! I had heard about this show from another family we met while horseback riding one day on our trip to Maui and we literally altered our Road to Hana day to be back in time for this show... and we were SO GLAD we did! It was the perfect evening and a nice break away from just seeing the beauty of nature. Brenton was funny, engaging, family friendly, and full of energy but he was also SO talented with his magic! I have a 21 and 18 year old and they were so impressed, laughing most of the night. We caught a couple of his tricks on video and posted them and our Facebook friends were in awe too! This show is WELL worth your time and money, and Mulligans offered fantastic dinner options too. Go see the show if you get the chance - you won't regret it! It's truly... well, "magical". :)“

“I cried good tears this morning. I've never in my life cried because of how divine the food was. I ordered the crab cakes benedict, usually when I order crab cakes it's a hash brown with little bits of crab meat but this one is purely crab and it was so fresh like it was caught in the early hours before restaurant opened. Eggs were cooked to perfection and the hollandaise sauce was heavenly. It was love on a plate, my compliments to the chef! Service was absolutely wonderful, lovely and welcoming ladies. They were very attentive and efficient. Mahalo nui loa! 🌺“

“Great view of the Maui sunset with live ukulele music, tiki torches and very tasty food. The carrot and banana curry was very nice as a vegetarian meal. It was my birthday. I noted that on my reservation and they surprised me with a very generous bowl of ice cream with chocolate sauce with a flower and candle garnish. I asked the sweet waiter how she knew and she said she noticed it on my file. This never happened to me on any other birthday reservation on this app so I was delighted. We watched the sunset with West Maui, Molokai and Lanai in the distance. This is casual by the Marriott Pool. More formal restaurant is upstairs.“

“This place is stellar. I really just wanted some fire 🔥 sushi for dinner and this place delivered the jalapeño roll and the waigu infused roll were slammin'. I also ordered an unagi hand roll that was gone before I was able to take a picture of it 😳. Considering this is in the lobby of the Four Seasons, I will definitely be back!“

“Great place great service friendly staff very nice food live music“

“After United Airlines cancelled our scheduled flight home nine hours after scheduled departure we were left to our own devices to locate lodging and transportation for the night since the Maui airport essentially closes down at 11 pm and the flight cancellation occurred at 10 pm. Fortunately, my wife was able to get the last two available rooms at the Marriott Courtyard near the airport and we got one of the last two cabs at the airport to transport us. The desk personnel were extremely friendly and understanding. The rooms were large, clean and well laid out. One room complaint though- the toilets are set on very short pedestals so it is painful for older, tall people to sit on the toilet seat. There is a small snack and beverage shop adjacent to the front desk and there is a bar area (closes at 10:30 to 11 pm) which also serves as a breakfast area in the am opposite the front desk. During the day they do have a free shuttle to and from the airport. There is a pool and nice grounds though due to our circumstances we were not around to use them. Room prices are high ($580 plus per room after taxes and fees). Not sure whether that is normal price or due to our circumstances (either way we were happy to have rooms to sleep in).“

“Today me and wife had breakfast haven’t been here for awhile food was awesome and we had the bestest server Jocel she has plenty of Aloha! And she was on her A game Bestest server we ever had!“

“I don't really get the bad reviews. Perhaps things have changed since. We ordered a few things from this place since it was close to our room. We loved everything we ordered. No complaints. In fact i wish we were still there to order again. Food was fresh and had good flavor. Yes it was pricey but that's expected at a resort. Customer service was great.“

“While waiting for our flight, we tried the Cuban sandwich, which was fantastic! We also enjoyed a Mango Cart beer, which always hits the spot. It’s a great place for a quick bite at the airport, great ambiance and the service was excellent—especially the friendly bartender.“
