    The service was quick, the waiter was very efficient. The menu is a little limited and the prices are a little high but everything in Maui is expensive.

    I'm not going to lie to you, this is not going to be a cheap meal, but especially if Randall is your server it is going to be one of the best dining experiences you can have on Maui, maybe anywhere. The service was great, eating there just after sunset was so romantic, and everything we ate was best in class.

    We had a wonderful experience with a Valentine’s Day lunch at Monkeypod. My husband got the Mahi sandwich and I got the fish tacos. Both were delicious! We loved our server but didn’t get his name. Always have a great experience here.

    Wonderful friends gave us a gift card for Makawao Public House as we often raved about the wonderful meals we enjoyed there . As usual it didn’t disappoint. We tried the seared sashimi for the 1 st time and it was to die for . However you need to include a straw with the sauce so you can drink it all up as it is just phenomenal 😜 .Then we ordered the curry vegetables with grilled mahi and the short ribs , again it was cooked to perfection. Everything paired with a glass of Rose champagne and we had the best Valentine dinner . We had an early dinner reservations, so it was quiet , the waitress was lovely ,sweet and personable. We are so happy to have another restaurant choice upcountry. Mahalo
