   Over priced for what was served. Semi cafeteria-like setting did not justify $35-$55 entrees, which were average, at best

   Great location to watch the sunset. However food was mediocre… all of us were disappointed at the over fried tater tots. The waitress did comp them after she saw our unfinished pile of tots. The ahi sashimi and gyoza were fine and the Brussels sprouts were probably the best thing we ate. Wine selection was fine but the ‘speciality cocktail’ my husband ordered (peach smash or something) tasted terrible, like something you’d get at a college party.

   The a la carte menu on Open Table was not the same as the a la carte menu at the restaurant. We chose that restaurant because of a very picky teen and it was hard to pivot when items had changed. Normally we can handle it but didn’t want to deal with that for a Christmas dinner. In the end, he ordered off the kids menu. Food was okay to good - but it’s a hotel restaurant so wasn’t expecting amazing.

   We had Christmas Eve dinner here with the family. Staff is friendly - we were seated right away and they had kids' menus & crayons for the kids. Overall - the food is freshly prepared and delicious. Some issues: steak was under cooked (we asked for medium rare, came out as rare). We added an item at the end of the meal and we waited a loooong time for the item, and they got the order wrong. We waited another 25 mins for the correct item to be brought out. It's the holiday season and the restaurant might've been understaffed/etc.

   We dined twice for dinner at Mauka Makai and thoroughly enjoyed both times. One would not expect a restaurant at a time share to be anything special. We were very pleasantly surprised and returned for a second visit because it was so good. The food is excellent and rivals anything at top restaurants in the Kaanapali area, and with good prices. Our server James was top notch - he knew what he was doing (no problem opening older bottles of wine, which we had brought with us) - he was engaged and pleasant - we enjoyed his service very much. The view at Mauka Makai is beautiful. The combination of everything made for a wonderful evening and we'll definitely be back during our next visit to Nanea.

    We loved our time there and our meal. A bit embarrassed when the server asked if we were owners in the condo building... which would have resulted in a lower cost......... that could have been presented to us a bit more professionally .
