    Our table of ten for dinner on a Sunday. Server was a bit slow and his assistant missed plating three of us. Also the same three were not asked if they wanted dessert but the rest of us were asked. Dinner was delicious and served hot. The Rib Eye steak was a bit fatty for the high price. Scalloped potatoes were ok but not what I expected for the high price. The fish special was delicious and filling.
    Haliimaile General StoreResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad to hear that the dinner was delicious and served hot. We apologize for the slower service and the oversight with dessert and plating, and we'll certainly address that with the team. We appreciate your comments about the rib-eye and scalloped potatoes and will take them into consideration as we continually strive to improve. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back soon for a more seamless experience! 😊🍽️ Mahalo.

    Was a nice dinner for a late birthday outing. Food had good flavor - few dishes changed re tofu only being blackened and seared (previously could get small pieces fired in the coconut curry for example). Also there are no changes allowed re vegetables which seem to be prepared ahead of time and put in baggies. Not something a high end restaurant usually does. So we could get rid of mushrooms in the veggie dishes or add other veggies as a substitute. Sashimi was excellent as always. Mahi Mahi was a bit different that prior visits but okay. Only one salad was vegetarian. Burrata was the best before but off menu.

    Been going to this classic restaurant since it opened, under the ownership of the renowned Bev Gannon. It was an instant hit with fresh fish and coffee rubbed rack of lamb back then, and Francesco has captured that original excellence with his take on Maui cuisine. We hadn’t been here since he took ownership about four or five years ago, and we weren’t disappointed. Great selection of Maui favorites, both mauka and makai, and well priced wine by the glass. Highly recommend to tuna noodle bowl, and the short rib. And the atmosphere, just comfortable. Just a great easy going vibe. Enjoy!
    Haliimaile General StoreResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your fantastic review and for being such a loyal guest over the years! We're thrilled to hear that Francesco has upheld the original excellence of the restaurant while adding his own touch to the Maui cuisine. The tuna noodle bowl and short rib are definitely favorites, and we're glad you enjoyed both the food and the comfortable atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another great experience! 😊🍽️🌴 Mahalo!
