While over visiting friends on the Island, they brought us here. The grounds are so beautiful! We arrived for dinner so all the shops were closed. Once we arrived we waited in the open bar area and tried their speciality drinks. My husband really enjoyed his Smoked Old Fashion and I a yummy Lemon Drop. Dinner was excellent, pictures below. At dinner I ordered their Expresso Martini and I fell in love! The prices are $$$ It’s so worth it!

An amazingly beautiful setting for a fantastic restaurant.
Set in an old plantation, the restaurant serves delicious dishes featuring local ingredients and served with an abundance of Aloha. The staff is absolutely the best, friendly and attentive.
The dining rooms and bar are large open spaces with plenty of room. The tables and booths are comfortable and most afford a great view of the surroundings.
While evenings can get busy, brunch and lunch service are very accommodating on most days.
There is plenty of parking just a short walk from the restaurant. Accessibility is available to most as everything is on ground level.

Not at all crowded. We were on-time for our reservation. Our table was ready. I did an online reservation and it was very easy.

Resy restaurant in a great quiet part of the island. The food was amazing. Service was great. We had the onion soup (awesome), the pork belly (even better), and the burger (pretty good). Would highly recommend coming here if you are visiting. One of two locations on the island

The food was excellent, but the service was absolutely terrible. The moment we sat down, someone came to ask what we wanted to order — I hadn’t even opened the menu yet. Within the next three minutes, three different people came to our table asking the same question. Okay, I get it — the kitchen closes at 3 PM and they only serve happy hour food afterward, but that’s still no excuse for such an unprofessional approach.
I had literally just sat down and hadn’t even opened the menu, yet we were told we had to order immediately — food first, drinks later — because the kitchen was “closing soon.” Maybe that’s why they added a kitchen appreciation fee to the bill? I have no idea, since no one bothered to mention it.
The food came out really fast — the fries were a bit cold, but the burger was delicious. The cocktail, however, arrived after the food. And just after my third bite of the burger, the check was placed on our table. The waitress didn’t even ask how the food was or if we needed anything — just dropped the bill. My boyfriend and I looked at each other like, is this for real? I hadn’t even finished my drink yet!
Okay, maybe she was in a hurry to go home because her shift was ending, but in that case, don’t take a new table if you can’t serve it properly. Several people came by to ask if we were ready to order, but no one refilled my water — my glass stayed empty the whole time.
Honestly, I was really disappointed with the service. Such a shame, because the food deserved better.

We hosted our wedding reception at Cafe O’Lei at The Plantation, and it was absolutely perfect. The team went above and beyond to make our day special — the service was warm, attentive, and seamless. The food was even better than we imagined; truly one of the best meals we had during our trip. We’re so grateful to have chosen this restaurant for such an important celebration and can’t wait to come back for our future anniversaries. Thank you, Cafe O’Lei, for making our wedding unforgettable! 🤩

Great spot! Hidden in the back of a weird old mill turned outdoor strip mall, this unexpected place had delicious food, great drinks and a neat atmosphere! The charbroiled pork liempo was insanely good and the mini-malasadas were delicious! Would definitely return!

The manager from last night saved this review! Would’ve been a 1 star but, he was very professional and I appreciated his attention to our over cooked steak and long wait. Great atmosphere, beautiful setting, and an attentive Front of House Staff. BoH might need a little help.

Came for happy hour (3-5pm on weekdays) on a Friday and it wasn’t busy and there was plenty of parking available. The place is beautiful with lots of great seating outside. Hostess and serving staff seemed generally uninterested and while we would have doubled our order we decided to get out of there after one drink and an appy. No explanation of the happy hour cocktail or flavour of the flatbread of the day, we just felt like an inconvenience for being there. Hurricane fries were delicious and crispy, pork belly bao contents were tasty but the bun was dry and crusty. Meh!
Our best food, atmosphere and service experience on the island by far. We ended up going to this spot 3 times because we fell in love with it. The food is amazing and the views from the terrace are lovely. Definitely recommend this place for any occasion and time of day. We did enjoy lunch more since you can see the mountains.

Fish was fresh. The salad dressing was homemade everything was seasoned probably one of the best meals I had here and it’s not a Bajillion dollars highly recommend you come here for at least one of your meals if you’re in Maui.
