“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.“

“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!“

“Burgers! Aloha from local country folks!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“The view is awesome. And the people who work there were kind.
The ramen was good when it was hot. Once it got cold, the noodles tasted like raw. I asked a smoothie of mango was really good.
And the dip of marlin was really good as well.“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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". :)“
