    We were on vacation, a mini escape from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu, staying at the lovely Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort. This fine dining overlooks the infinite pool deck. Even on a busy night, with no reservations, we were promptly seated at a table with the absolute BEST ocean view! There's something so peaceful about the tradewinds blowing gently, hearing the ocean in the distance, and enjoying dinner under the sparkling stars. Love, love, love it! Our server was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We both ordered our own scallop dish with gnocchi. He suggested a crisp white wine which paired excellently with our dinner. As you can see from the picture, our scallops were large and luscious. Cooked to perfection, this had marvelous taste and texture. If you don't eat pork, you can ask for the roasted pork bits on the side. Gnocchi was tender and great with the delicious sauce. So good, would certainly come back to order that! For dessert, we shared the chocolate torte. This was silky smooth and creamy. All together, this lovely dining experience made for some pretty sweet dreams that night LOL Thank you everyone at Ka'ana for a lovely dinner. We still tell everyone about the amazing food and service here! Totally coming back :)

    We had the daily breakfast buffet, as well as the dinner offered! Ka'ana Kitchen, for both breakfast and dinner, exceeded expectations! A huge, heartfelt shoutout to our breakfast servers Lehua and Elijah, and our dinner server, John. The service at Ka'ana is so thoughtfully curated, the food was incredible, the ambience was romantic and picturesque, and the experience, every single day, was so special. We were celebrating our engagement and this was such a wonderful place to do so for both breakfast and dinner.

    After a LONG day of traveling we didn't want to leave the hotel for dinner after checking in. We quickly made reservations here for dinner - Saturday. No problem and I honestly feel like you don't need reservations. We were seated by the balcony and the feel was very good. The view was amazing and the weather that evening was perfect. Ahi Caesar Salad (brioche furikake croutons + roasted garlic + pickled mustard seeds) - I wanted something lighter and healthier since we ate airport/airplane food all day. I think it's just a matter of perference but the taste was not what I expected. There was a big mustard/horse radish taste to the dressing and the croutons were made out of rye bread with made it sweet. I LOVE caesar salads and this was not one. My husband loved it though. Grilled cheese and fries - They had a kids menu which was very much appreciated. Unfortunately, this took a while to come out even after both my husbands and my dish came out. It was weird sitting there with our food when our kiddo didn't have theirs. Grilled cheese was ehh but the fries were really good and well seasoned. My husband got a fish dish. He enjoyed it. Service was okay but we loved the hostess. She was so sweet to my daughter. She got her a little flower. It was such a nice touch. A great welcome to our first night in Maui.

    Service was great! Food was good. The watermelon salad and wagyu were delicious! The sweetness of the watermelon combined with feta, arugula and candied walnuts added a lot of flavor. The wagyu was prepared perfectly medium rare. The scallops were a bit salty, and the tuna tataki was just ok. There was no flavor from the jelly that was served with it and could not taste the any lilikoi.

    We had an absolutely perfect night dining at Ka'ana's Chef's Table! It's a sampling of the restaurant menu, and they do a unique deal where each of us had a different dish for all but two courses, so we got to try so much! Awesome! Service was great, all around. Complementary valet parking was excellent. Chanel (like the perfume and the handbags) was such a delight at the hostess stand, as well as on the phone before our dinner. Wine Director and sommelier, Tia, was our server and she is stellar! She is incredibly knowledgeable about wine and we loved chatting through our experience. Honestly, the entire team in the kitchen took great care of us! The food was all amazing, we loved every dish. Beautiful presentation, and creative, delicious plates. Outstanding wine list! Good cocktails. Chef's Table or just regular dining, don't miss this place!

    Watermelon Salad - mind blown on this one
    Ken A.

    By far the best food in the area. We ate at all the Four Seasons restaurants and this place rocked as far as food taste and creativity. I search high and low to find a chef who creates dishes that are out of the box and full of flavor - this place did it, great job chef. It starts off with my alcohol free drink - the wireless super yummy. We had the Wagyu skirt steak app and the water melon salad. Both were awesome. The watermelon blew my mind, not a fan of watermelon but this had some really interesting flavors (ling hing mui - not sure but it was good). We then moved onto the Butter Red Crab and Seared Scallops. Both were absolutely delicious. The ambiance was awesome with an amazing sunset view. We listen to music from lounge down below. Service was really good - got slow at check out but view was amazing and it made it less painful. Definitely going back to this place next time we are here. Great job chefs!

    Buttered crab excellent

    Amazing experience last night The ambiance is nothing great but, the food!! The buttered crab was excellent. The poached egg on top brought it to another level. The other standout was the lamb ragu pappardelle. The chef's sauce was light & perfect. Not the usual heavy red sauce as usually prepared. Very well thought out preparation. It's so tiring to see the usual brussel sprouts, macadamia crusted mahi & fried calamari on menu's. This menu actually had some creativity. Compliments to the chef.

    This restaurant located in Andez hotel, maui. This is our 2nd time having breakfast buffet. We came 2 years ago when we stayed at Andez. No need to reserve, plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. I think we got the same server last time. Food + drink: Fresh green juice, coconut water, pinapple ,orange juice. Coffee - order with your server. You can also ask for milk substitution like almond or oat milk. They also have a la carte menu. Assortment of pastry + bread Pancake, mochi waffle, Malassada Fried noddle Omelette - you order with your server Bacon, sausage, scramble eggs and portugese sausage Fruits, deli meat and cheese station Grilled veggies and salad Overall good. It's just our server need help to bus our table or even with getting ketchup, coffee and creamer. Restroom: just right outside by the restaurant Breakfast buffet $49. 6am-11am Be careful, lots of small birds try to nibble from your plate if you seat at outdoor area.

    Four stars for the food, two stars for the service. It took us over 10 min for our server to come acknowledge us once we'd been shown to our table. Which wouldn't be a big deal at a buffet but since you have to put in your egg orders with your server, it was annoying. They had a great variety of traditional breakfast foods and Hawaiian fare. I especially loved the mochi waffles!!! YUM. I'd come back, but maybe before they get too busy and spread too thin.

    Bloody Mary, breakfast buffet

    Came for the breakfast buffet and omg.... One of the best I've been to! Huge selection of Portuguese sausage, mango chicken sausage, crispy bacon, pork belly, eggs, omelets, pork Bao buns, pastries, pancakes, waffles, yogurt, chia pudding, fresh fruit and vegetable juices.... And plenty more that I'm not remembering! The service here was also soo wonderful. The breakfast buffet is $50 per person, not including specialty drinks like matcha, lattes or cocktails of course but they are also available. We got bloody Mary's and loved them! Would definitely come back :)

    Food was really good, very pricey though... I think it was worth the price . The tuna was so fresh and delicious. The fresh catch was delicious but maybe not as interesting as the other dishes. The desert was my favorite - we got two different deserts and both were incredible. 10/10 would come again

    Overlooked Wagyu, including one end piece cooked to a crisp.

    Crab was so bad it might have been imitation. Wagyu was overcooked, which I did not even know was possible. Server was not interested in whether we enjoyed the meal. Definitely will not be back.

    Welcome sign when you arrive!

Until we came to Oao, our favorite had been Nobu, down the road in Wailea. Well, I am here to tell you that, hands-down, there is a new gold medalist in town! The quality, presentation and taste--every single course--knocked it out of the ballpark! And, much to our surprise, the last Main course of Wagyu beef was a veritable grand slam! We came for the Sushi, but never in my life have i tasted such heavenly steak! The exceptionally aloha-friendly staff, such as Ronson and Iggy, were above and beyond helpful. Add to my snobbery my pallet for a good sake. Well, Iggy was able to steer me to an exceptionally perfect Daiginzo brew to complement our Omakase feast of the evening. Be sure to include an order of mussels, and you can't go wrong with anything Hamachi, such as the carpaccio. The atmosphere is somewhat traditional sushi bar, with an aloha flair. It is not very spacious, and will fill up in both guests and noise. Tune those out and you'll be fine. By the way, be sure to make reservations! A Word of warning, this is a sushi bar in the heart of Maui, and is it priced accordingly. That said, it is well, well worth the splurge!

The service was also educational. Our server was unfamiliar with "ikura" on the menu, but immediately understood once we translated it to "salmon roe," which kept us humble and culturally grounded. Drink service was thoughtfully staggered. My partner received his drink about 15 minutes before mine, giving us unexpected quality bonding time while I watched him enjoy it. We were informed the bartender was "backed up," and honestly, we admire the restaurant's commitment to cost savings by courageously operating without additional bartenders during peak hours. Fiscal responsibility is rare these days. We also ordered the soft shell crab roll. Interestingly, no claw meat but generous gills. Yum. Overall, a memorable dining experience full of surprises.

    Long post: starts with below expectations, and it finishes with highlights…read more We had a highly anticipated dinner last night at Morimoto Maui, and I think that Iron Chef Morimoto would be as disappointed as we were -- if not more so. We opted for the Omakake (Tasting) Menu along with the Wine Pairing for each course. We knew it would be expensive (prices intentionally deleted), but we felt it would be a wonderful experience. We have eaten at Morimoto at Sea on several Holland America Line ships, including our recent cruise on HAL's Nieuw Amsterdam that has a dedicated Morimoto Restaurant mid-ship on deck 11 -- those meals have always been fantastic. Back to last night. Disappointment #1 -- The wine for the first course arrived 5 minutes before Course 1, the Toro Tartare. The wine had lost most of its coolness, and intended flavor and aroma, by time the dish arrived. Disappointment #2 -- The Intermezzo dish, the Sudachi cucumber sorbet was a bit sour. Other intermezzi that I have had were a slightly sweet, perhaps lime or lemon sorbet. AND they typically were paired with a splash of champagne or a sparkling brut (why not include the Morimoto Dream Rosè?) Disappointment #3 -- Course 5, the Surf & Turf, was bad! The very small portion of the Wagyu beef was Medium Well to Well Done and appeared to have been burnt over a flame. When we told our server, his comment was, "That's why I recommended the Japanese A5 Wagyu [at an additional $80 per person!]." Sorry burnt beef if burnt beef, no matter what the price. Training/Expectations seem low: Where do they get their water glasses? On the discount table at Walmart? These two are different styles on the same table; at least our two were the same style, although different from those two. And the dessert spoons -- two different styles given to us. I expect (and I am sure others also do) a much higher standard at this famous Iron Chef restaurant. DELIGHTS: Course 1 - The Toro Tartare was so tasty. We are used to a tartare to be chopped, perhaps even finely chopped, but this one was made into a puree. The toppings (caviar and rice crackers were tasty, and the rice crackers looked like little sweet ice cream toppings. Course 2 - Red Snapper Carpaccio was liked by someone who does not normally like raw fish. The light sauce added a subtle dash of flavor, and we were able to roll the pieces with chop sticks and heat an entire price at once. Course 3 - Lobster Takoyaki. The three "lobster balls" were served warm, and they were very tasty. A large piece of lobster in each roll was a true delight. Course 4 - Sushi. The 5 pieces of nigiri were Chu Toro, Hamachi, Salmon, Campachi, and Big Eye Tuna. There was a light smear of wasabi between the fish and the rice; I had already asked for more (and hotter) wasabi that I mixed with the soy sauce. We brought a few pieces of the sushi back to the condo for a later snack. Course 6 -- the dessert was so-so in my opinion. Sharon liked it, so it was probably just my tastebuds and not the actual dessert. We had planned to go back to Morimoto Maui next week for a special Wagyu and Wine pairing, but based on last night's Wagyu failure, we have cancelled the reservation. I hope that our next dinner at a stateside Morimoto restaurant (probably Morimoto Napa in 4 weeks) is a much better experience for us.

It has become part of our story, and every visit continues to feel just as meaningful and memorable as the first. The setting is absolutely stunning. Between the beautifully designed interior and the outdoor seating overlooking the beach in front of the Four Seasons, it creates one of the most romantic date-night settings on Maui. The food never misses the mark. We started with an English pea soup that was exquisitely seasoned and beautifully balanced. I followed with the Broiled Miso Marinated Walu, tender, delicate, mildly sweet, served with sesame sauce and crisp cucumbers that added the perfect contrast. The rack of lamb was juicy, tender, and cooked perfectly. Dessert was unforgettable: the "Spikey Lemon" calamansi cake with yuzu curd and crunchy meringue, plus freshly baked donuts that arrived crispy, warm, and drenched in a divine chocolate sauce. Pure heaven. But what truly sets Spago apart, and what makes each visit unique, is the front-of-house staff. Over the years we've been lucky enough to be served by both Jeb and Mikayla. Jeb was also our waiter on our wedding night, which made seeing him again feel especially meaningful. He has a rare gift: he makes guests feel genuinely special. His knowledge of the menu is remarkable, he reads the flow of a meal perfectly, and he is charming, funny, and effortlessly attentive without ever being overbearing. What keeps us coming back isn't just the food or the atmosphere. it's the impeccable hospitality. One moment we'll never forget: on our wedding night, after I mentioned I was Austrian, Jeb surprised us with a Kaiserschmarrn. It was unexpected, thoughtful, and one of those gestures that instantly lets you know you're more than just another table. You're valued. Thank you to the front-of-house staff, thank you to the kitchen, and thank you, Wolfgang Puck, for creating a place that has become such an important part of our lives. We'll keep coming back.

The foods took some time to make but I'm not complaining since you get to enjoy the beautiful view. The server was pretty nice and friendly. All the foods were on the pricier range but you're there for the experience, the view and the atmosphere. The valet parking was free, which is nice since it is a high end restaurant.

The quesadilla was still amazing and the kalua pork nachos were good too. Everything else has 98% room for improvement - structurally, professionally, beverages, everything. We will not be back after that one.
