    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.

    Great food, good service, beautiful scenery. We sat by the front door and were visited inside by a lizard and a few bugs. It must be hard to keep the place open air on a beautiful day and avoid small visitors.

    I love coming to this restaurant when we come to Maui. I love the atmosphere, location, staff and food. The drinks are amazing too. I could literally visit it again before the end of our trip for another meal that’s how memorable it is.

    We (family of 4) go to HGS every year when visiting Maui. The food is consistently great each time and usually the service is too. Unfortunately, the service was abysmal this time. It took about 3 hours for us to have dinner and dessert. No alcohol was ordered so no bar delay. It took our waitress 15-20 minutes to bring us a children's menu after we had to ask for one, despite clearly having a child with us. Another 15 minutes went by waiting to place our order. We ordered salads and entrees. Our kid's meal came out with the salads. It took another 30 minutes after we were served our salads for our entrees to come. When our meals arrived, I asked if there was something little, like bread, that he could eat while we were eating since his meal was served so much later than his. The waitress apologized and said the kitchen was backed up and said she could get him some bread or rice. We found out later that we were charged $4 for 2 pieces of bread but then comp'd the bread due to "long kitchen time". We finished our meals and waited for our waitress to come to our table so we could order dessert. It was another long wait, and if not for it being Valentine's Day and having promised our kids they could order dessert, we would have left. Our waitress comes to our table and says "What are we waiting for here? The bill?" We asked for a dessert menu and waited for her to eventually bring us 2 dessert menus. We finished our dessert and waited another 15-20 minutes to receive our bill. We hand our waitress a credit card and wait even longer to get the credit card/receipt back. While waiting she's holding our receipt and card and laughing/chatting with a table near us for more than 5 minutes. My partner walked over and asked for our receipt and card and that we've been here long enough. Maybe there was a delay in the kitchen but we waited more than an hour of waiting for our waitress to do things the "kitchen" can't.
