Amazing Atmosphere! Server was probably working too many large groups so when they were able to get around it was great, just frequency of visits was lacking. Kalua Pork Fried Rice was good, but seemed a little light on the smoke and seasonings. Ice Cream was Ono!

The food was amazing everything tasted fantastic! Our server was polite, not the most prompt, but I didn't mind at all, gave us plenty of time to take in the scenery.

can someone tell me why they are using frozen potatoes? The French fries tasted oddly weird to me...I've eaten many times time prior and have never encountered the French fries tasting like they were frozen or made from a box definitely not from a fresh potatoe...did they run out??! Would have preferred for them to apologize for running out...but to cover it up? gross...

The only restaurant we visited twice on our trip- fantastic views with great drinks and food. Affordable prices, compared to the resort areas. Would recommend to anyone visiting

Friendly staff, beautiful setting & delicious food. Happy hour ends at 6pm. The entire area is lit at night. Come early, enjoy a drink on the patio. A MUST is the cane fire martini.

This is my favorite place to eat on Maui (when I’m not craving garlic shrimp). Despite eating many yummy things on the island I continued to look forward to our visit here more. We showed up at peak dinner time with no reservation (our B) and we waited an hour. Because the grounds are so beautiful with many places to sit this went by quickly.

The food is absolutely delicious. Full of flavor, beautifully plated, and well thought out with an option for everyone. I’m obsessed with the chicken lettuce wraps (I’m 5’2” 120 pounds and I eat two orders lol) and the brussels. The Maitai is really good too, made CORRECTLY WITH ORGEAT lol. The chefs catch is always good too. Dessert should not be missed — get there early if you want the lilikoi cheesecake. The ambience is perfect on top of everything else, lighting is relaxing, there’s interesting things to look at, with many historical and island culture related items to appreciate.

Our server Kala was awesome, very friendly, down to earth, and knows his stuff. When things were busier he had good communication and would multi task efficiently so everyone was taken care of and knew when he would stop back by. He seemed like he was actually happy to be there and interacting with people which makes the experience all the better. I can’t say that about everywhere I’ve eaten on the island. Props for hiring such kind people.

Most bad reviews seem to be from people who did not research the menu or make reservations… that’s on them.

Tucked away in the back of the plantation. Beautiful backdrop, amazing drinks, good service and good food. Best cocktails so far.

Lovely environment and friendly service. The food was not good though. Reviews led me to the chicken, which was cold and mediocre at best. It’s never a good sign when food is delivered to your table with minutes of ordering (it must of been within four minutes if we had a stop watch). Everything about the meals you could tell was items that had been sitting around and just put on the plate once ordered.

Loved this restaurant. Great ambiance. Food was good, we tried their happy hour menu and everything was good!
Also the Plantation is worth spending more time in to enjoy the place!
