We went to the 2:00 pm time for the Christmas Buffet. Service was impeccable. Food was labeled for allergies. Great food. Loved the prime rib, shrimp, salads. Spinach artichoke dip and the danish pancakes were so tasty. We had a great time with a beautiful view of Wailea. Only downside was that our table was out in the sun and our umbrella didn't shield the entire table. Request a shaded spot if this is an issue for you. We would come back! Thanks so much! Mele Kalikimaka!

Had an incredible experience for Christmas Eve. The wait staff made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Different staff stopped by to check on us and even asked if we liked the bottle of wine, then gave us some insight. Very attentive. Our server was Jessica and she chatted with us like we were friends. Amazing time!

For starters, the lady at the front desk was super nice to both my wife and I. It was my wife’s birthday so we wasted no time and started with drinks (drinks hit the spot). The food was magnificent, the ambience was perfect especially for both me and wife being that we haven’t had a date night in quite a while. Everything was perfect and couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Ka’ana Kitchen staff!
