    We had a fantastic experience at the chefs table! The food and staff were all amazing. Highly recommend for great food and a fun experience! We had some dietary restrictions due to pregnancy, and they were awesome at accommodating easily!

    The Chef’s Table was easily me and my husband’s favorite experience on the island. The food was fantastic and the entire service was excellent, and the staff welcoming and informative. It was my birthday and the front of house manager Mike made us feel like the only ones in the restaurant and gave us great tips for things to check out on the island. Easily the highlight of our trip.

    We had very high expectations and somehow they managed to exceed them. Been to Maui three times and this has been the best experience I’ve had on the island hands down (culinary or otherwise). People and food are amazing. Can’t wait to be back.

    Six course menu with wine pairing that seemed like a Michelin star experience. The presentation and explanation and taste were excellent. The wine was varied and appropriate.

    What an experience! My husband and I visited Ka’ana Kitchen for our 10 year wedding anniversary - all I can say is WOW WOW WOW! We are both plant based, and the chefs really came together to make something so special. Between the incredible food, vibrant flavors and the impeccable service, we went right ahead and made a reservation for our last night in Maui. I can’t say enough good things about this experience, if you have a chance to go to the chef’s table at Ka’ana Kitchen do not miss it.

    This experience was one of a kind. Located in the Andaz hotel/resort, you enter through a bridge/walkway with water on each side, enter the lobby with an adult-sandbox as the centerpiece, and continue downstairs where the restaurant is located. Just the entry alone sets up your expectations for the night. The meal and the service followed suit. We were greeted and promptly walked to our private table by a lovely and kind hostest, and were seated just at the edge of the open-styled kitchen. The artistic set up with the countertop clamped to the table was so classy. We sat through five-courses and ate the the most fresh, delicious, artistic, and wonderful food my new-husband (on our honeymoon) and I enjoyed. The meal lasted over three lovely hours and we simply couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was. We opted for the wine pairing and had our own sommelier throughout dinner. This was a SPECTACULAR experience and would highly recommend to anybody who is able to make this happen!!

    Having eaten at 11 Madison Park , and Geranium, and various other 3 stars, this place truly delivers beyond expectation. We've have the chef table twice now and the second time was better than the first. They remembered what we had and adjusted a whole new menu and accosted a vegetarian and a shellfish allergy. Honestly this place deserves more acclaim you have to try it,

From the moment you step in, the ambiance sets the tone for an unforgettable evening—intimate, inviting, and designed to engage all your senses.

The menu is a delightful exploration of local ingredients, thoughtfully curated to highlight the best of the region.

Ka’ana’s Chef’s Counter is not just about food; it’s about connection—between the chef and his team, the ingredients, and the diners.
