For scheduling so far in advance and requesting a seat by the ocean it was disappointing not to receive it.

Very easy to get a reservation quickly through open table. The ambience was wonderful and the staff was just as great. Would highly recommend the 1 pound crab legs totally worth what might seem as a high price but being from New England it definitely was not a high price for the amount of crab meat you got!
Teresa
Underwhelming. Overpriced. Small portions. Overcooked fish and barely cooked vegetables. Not worth the hype.
Darcy
Enjoyed our dining experience, with a beachside table, live music, beautiful sunset, delicious food with great service, lovely evening for our family!
Rebecca
Fantastic service. Food exceeded expectations. My daughter has celiac and they made sure she could safely eat.
Susan
We highly recommend dining at Leilani's. The food was delicious and the the service was outstanding.

we have gone here multiple times and love it every single time we visit! amazing place to eat!
Chris
The steak was cooked to perfection and the catch of the day was superb. Service was fast and efficient. Be sure to save room for the special dessert pie. Two of us couldn't quite finish it.
Katy
Portions were way too small. Table location was awful. And same menu as Duke's. Too formulaic

We tried Leilani's on the Beach and found it to be an average experience overall — I'd rate it about 3 stars. The location is great with a nice beach atmosphere, but the restaurant feels more like a polished chain-on-the-ocean rather than a unique dining spot. The food was okay but underwhelming for the price and hype. The hummus was heavy on oil and hidden at the bottom of the plate, the calamari lacked much flavor, and the mashed potatoes had that heat-lamp crust that made them taste like they'd been sitting. Nothing stood out as thoughtful or memorable. Service was friendly, and our waiter did their best, but the restaurant was very busy and it showed. The overall service level didn't quite match what you'd expect for the setting and cost. In hindsight, we probably would have enjoyed the beach bar portion of the restaurant more, since that casual vibe and pace seems like a better fit for this spot.
Management of reservations I would consider poor. A realistic expectation is when you make a reservation to be seated within 5 -10 min of scheduled time. Our wait was just over 20 min with no apology, and we ended up addressing the disappointment. Food wasn't anything to write home about.

We try to have dinner here whenever we come to Maui. Always delicious food, good service, lovely atmosphere. See you next time.

Service by Holly was inattentive and poor throughout. Slow to approach our table, she got our wine order wrong. Slow to receive our entrees which were ok, not great. Live music was not Hawaiian. Why not Hawaiian music in Maui? We were celebrating our anniversary which the hostess acknowledged immediately. Holly seemed unaware. When she went to get us an Hula Pie she spent 20 minutes talking with another table. When she went to get our parking validated she stopped to talk with another table for 15 minutes. All the delays meant we paid more for parking. Food average. Not coming back.

Yummy meal. Started with the sashimi and cocktails. I had the Maui fresh salad and my hubby had the crusted ahi steak. Ashley K and the entire wait staff provided excellent service.

Prime rib was disappointing, fancy colored carrots undercooked and Mai Tai was lacking RUM!
