We stayed at the Wailea beach resort and came here for lunch. The view is superb and having lunch with the ocean view is fantastic. The server was greeted us warmly and took us to the table with the view. The menu has a great variety of choices. The special of the day/catch of the day is mahi mahi. I ordered the mahi mahi taco with chips and salsa. My boyfriend ordered the mahi filet sandwich with a side salad. For dessert, we had the chocolate Haupia pie. It was a very satisfying lunch after we landed.

We're staying at the resort and came by for dinner. The waitress was very friendly. We sat by the fire pit which was super cozy. The garlic furikake bread kimchi was a great starter. The Molokai banana curry was very color and a lot of food! My husband got the huli chicken and enjoyed it.

Miso Cacio e Pepe Lobster & Scallop Pasta

Valentine's Day was truly an enchanting experience at Kapa Bar and Grill! Nestled within the stunning Wailea Beach Resort, this hidden gem offered us breathtaking ocean views that created the perfect romantic setting for our evening together. The atmosphere was electric, and every moment felt like a delightful escape with my love. We treated ourselves to an unforgettable culinary adventure, savoring every delicious bite of: - Miso Cacio e Pepe Lobster & Scallop Pasta - Kona Lobster - Brown Butter Lobster Steamed Buns - Wailea Old Fashioned - Strawberries and Cream Baked Alaska Oh my goodness, the Kona lobster was an absolute showstopper! The rich black bean sauce took its flavors to another level, and we couldn't help but wish we had ordered two! And let's not forget the incredible garlic and lap cheong fried rice--an epic addition to our feast! Each dish was a delightful revelation. The Miso Cacio e Pepe Lobster & Scallop Pasta and the Brown Butter Lobster Steamed Buns beautifully complemented the Kona lobster. Both were bursting with flavor and pure deliciousness! We left wanting more and can't wait to indulge in these dishes again on our next visit! Delicious food and a very romantic dinner.. I'm a fan and plan to dine here soon on my next visit to Maui

Solid lunch spot on the Wailea strip. We always go a few times. The Poke plate is really good as is the Turkey Club. The staff is always nice and attentive. The location is really nice too. It's right behind the pool so people watching is fun. There is usually a DJ at lunch time but it's not too loud or energetic which is cool.

Always a nice treat to eat at KAPA! I love the view sitting right next to the ocean. Great chef. Outstanding wait staff and even live music which always adds so much to the whole experience!

Kapa Signature Burger
Long K.

3.5 stars rounded up: You generally can't expect much from any resort restaurant. It's there for convenience (poolside is extra convenient) and the resort coupons for two complimentary drinks will draw you in. The service was very accommodating and open space concept with views towards the pool was great. Resort prices for food are expected. Personally I prefer food off resort as the menu isn't too special with any unique offerings, but I'll say the burger didn't disappoint with the char grilled flavor. Note they close a bit too early IMO at 8:00PM.

Pool view
Jamee S.

Great views. Good service. But the food is overly priced and most likely just pre-prepared foods that are heated, fried, or easy to cook. This is the bar closest to one of the pools so you can drink at the bar and watch the sunset. We made reservations for dinner but you really don't need it unless it's super busy tourist season. Otherwise, you can order online and eat at the pool. The menu is the same. We ordered: Poke Bowl - Beautifully plated and that's about it. The poke is subpar. Nothing Hawaiian about it except for the ingredients. Kapa Burger - The burger is probably the best thing you can get for your money. Huge however it had a funky blue cheese taste. Fish of the Day - The fish was Mahi Mahi today. It had a funky taste to it. It was prepared with a sauce that was overly salty and had a packaged taste to it. It didn't come with the veggies listed on the menu and I had to ask about it. (They cooked and brought it out separately. The mushrooms with slimy and tasted sour.) Service: I do like that our server was attentive to my shellfish allergy and asking me about cross contamination.

Ceviche - shrimp Was the special today
Ariana N.

Such a beautiful view of the ocean from this restaurant! It is amazing that it was as empty as it was. If you come here, they will validate your valet parking... Definitely I think that more people should be here. The food was great, the service was exceptional, Highly recommend!

We had the best time having diner and the service was amazing! We had Lane as our service and she was the sweetest. It truly made our Hawaii experience. The food and drink were also amazing! Definitely a must try with beautiful views.

Huli Huli Chicken Breast

The location of this restaurant was so close to our room, the pool, and views of the ocean/sunset. Our server, Brenda, was so sweet. Very attentive and personable. Our food was out quickly. Food was great; my chicken was tender and juicy. The vegetables and rice were good too! However, a little overpriced (this is to be expected at any resort restaurant you will be dining at in Maui). All in all, a good experience.

Kula Root & Citrus Salad
Eydie R.

We were looking for a place to eat with a view, and this did not disappoint. Rene, our server, was very nice, seated us promptly, took our orders, and we had our food on the table within 20 minutes of arriving. I had the root salad because I love beets and I'm always looking for a great one and it was very good. My husband had a burger and really enjoyed it. I loved their signature Mai Tai, which was not too sweet and had a really balanced taste. So darn good. Since we're here celebrating our 5 year anniversary and my birthday, we ended the meal with a nice slice of chocolate cake and ice cream on the house, of course. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. You'll be so glad you did.

Thai vermicelli crunch

This place is so nice! The aesthetics are modern, super nice, but still casual! Easy to make reservations on the website. And the service! Cynthia is so phenomenal! She answered every silly to serious question I had! She made sure the food came out perfect! I requested a dish that was veg friendly but silly me is allergic to peanuts and she made sure they could accommodate me and everything! My uncle had a plain burger with cheese, and he said it was the best burger on the island!!! 10/10 I recommend for a very chill, casual, but still 5 star service and food kind of night! Thank you so much for a great welcome and amazing food!

I swung by Tikehau on a recent work trip to Maui. Tikehau was a great Tiki lounge and restaurant…read moreand I highly recommend it. Ask for Dominic behind the bar. I stopped by first as part of my Mai Tai crawl. The $23 "1944 Mai Tai" was excellent and nicely balanced. The rums had enough backbone to stand up to the rest of the ingredients. It wasn't too sweet and the mint bunch was just the right size. Definitely recommend. I went back the next night for dinner and another drink. For dinner I had the poke bowl which was great though a bit on the small side, even by Maui standards. I paired this with the Fortaleza Still Strength Chartreuse Swizzle ($40): Green Chartreuse, Fortaleza Still Strength tequila, Maul Gold pineapple, Maul falernum, lime, served with custom pineapple cocktail pick. The cocktail pick was fun as you get to "choose your own weapon" and select a custom pick. Dominic was running the bar both nights and he was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, and he poured a mean Chartreuse swizzle. While he was making the Swizzle he served me a shot of their "Rum Cannonball" which I enjoyed much more than I thought I would. I definitely recommend Tikeahau!

The staff was extremely friendly, our food and drinks came out quickly, and always with a smile. Everything we tried was high‑quality and clearly made with care. Their happy hour menu is surprisingly robust. Drinks The Tropical Mai Tai was a standout. The flavor really popped without being overly strong, just a genuinely great drink. The Rum Cannonball was delicious as well, with a bright pineapple flavor that's perfect for a hot day on the patio. They do have a nice selection of local beers on tap. Food The Kalua Pork Sliders were the highlight. The pork paired beautifully with the curry slaw, so many layers of flavor, and the toasted roll was a perfect finishing touch. The Mini Poke Bowl was fresh and vibrant. Adding avocado really elevated it, and the sesame brought a nice depth of flavor. The Onion Dip was a fun surprise. Loved hearing the story behind it, they once over‑ordered onions and created this dip, which has since become a best seller. It's easy to see why. Finally, the Ahi Slider was excellent. The ahi was high‑quality and seared perfectly, and again, the toasted bun made a big difference. The sesame oil added a great finishing note. If you're in Wailea, this place is absolutely worth a stop!

We ate several items off the menu, did not capture all of them, the stand outs for me were the tacos and the salmon. We were surprised with a lovely glass of champagne by our lovely server.

Our time here was so romantic and what I really appreciated the most is we were not rushed at all, we ate our meal at a very slow pace which is what we like to do.

Chef Rhod went above and beyond to prep food for Oliver(1.5yo) and we had full confidence in the team and their care with Oliver's allergies. We were upgraded to a Partial Ocean view room. It was standard and met expectations from photos we viewed before the trip. Engineer had to come to help fix some issues with the shower door and two of the sliding door were installing upside down and backward but these issues didn't affect our stay. The room was clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet for a room located next to the elevator. Check in was a breeze and the valet team were both prompt and friendly. You receive a welcome drink and a lei ( flower for females and kuki nut for males). Amenities were the same as our previous stay. They have activities throughout the day for guests which is nice for families and young kids. Our child loved being by the pool and we spent most of our time there. The beach front access and setups are a huge plus for this property. You can snorkel right off of the beach and see fish and sea turtles. Overall, we had another great experience at the Andaz Maui and will return again in the future.

Fairly laidback atmosphere, not as formal as Merriman's which I went to earlier on the trip, so easy to come in and feel comfortable in something as simple as a shorts and a t-shirt. Also service was good -- again, not as formal as Merriman's. A couple dishes really stood out; the poke tacos was excellent, the kalua pork & pineapple was amazing and by far my favorite dish (which is half-off during happy hour, resulting in subsequent happy hour trips), and the strawberry cream pie which was delicious. The dishes I had which could have been better included both the organic macadamia nut crusted fresh fish and the fresh caught fish tacos; they served mahi mahi the night we went, and both were "okay," but I've had ample better of both dishes at other establishments in Maui, and especially at these really high prices -- I'd recommend going to a better spot for these dishes instead. I found the monkeypod mai tai to also just be "okay"; can definitely find better mai tai's on the island. So at the end of the day, I concluded that the main dishes and cocktails weren't really worth it, but discovered that they service 50% off of appetizers and pizza during happy hours, so I would definitely recommend visiting during happy hours.

However, the owner took the time to respond and explain that the entire shopping center wing was experiencing cooling issues and that the restaurant was dealing with significant staffing shortages at the time. While that doesn't completely change the experience we had, I appreciate that the owner acknowledged the challenges and responded professionally rather than dismissing the feedback. One observation I would offer is that, as a customer, it was difficult to tell who was serving tables. I noticed several employees in Pint & Cork shirts moving around the restaurant, but only saw a couple of servers actively covering the dining area. It's possible some staff were assigned to bartending or other responsibilities, but from the guest perspective it gave the impression that table service was understaffed while other employees appeared unavailable. I still think there is room for improvement in the flow and logistics on the floor, but I appreciate the owner's willingness to engage with feedback and explain the circumstances. That being said, I would be willing to give the restaurant another chance. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATED REVIEW AFTER OWNER'S RESPONSE: 6.21.26 I appreciate the response. It's telling that you addressed the air conditioning, disputed the gender of an employee, and questioned whether I was even there, yet didn't meaningfully respond to the concerns about service, timing, attentiveness, or food quality. If a customer leaves with a poor experience, the question isn't whether they perfectly recalled every detail. The question is why they left with that impression in the first place. I suspect future readers can draw their own conclusions from both the review and the response. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Probably the most disappointing dining experience of our Hawaii trip. We specifically asked to sit indoors because we wanted a break from the Maui heat after spending the day outside. Unfortunately, we quickly realized there was no air conditioning, making the indoor seating barely any cooler than outside. The restaurant also felt severely understaffed. It took around 10 minutes just to get a Diet Coke, and every time I asked for assistance, the woman working at the register seemed to defer the request rather than help or find someone who could. Meanwhile, some employees appeared more interested in chatting than helping customers, while only one or two staff members seemed to be working the floor. I understand restaurants get busy, especially in a tourist area, but the issue wasn't just the wait--it was the feeling that customer service wasn't a priority. As for the food, it was nothing special. I ordered a steak that had a nice smoky flavor, but it arrived well done and overcooked. The rest of the meal was average at best and definitely not memorable enough to make up for the service issues. Between the lack of air conditioning, slow service, inattentive staff, and mediocre food, this was one of the few places in Hawaii where I genuinely regretted spending my money. Considering the location at The Shops at Wailea and the prices being charged, I expected a much higher level of hospitality and execution. There are far too many great dining options in Wailea to come back here.
