    25% off for Happy Hour
    Maria K.

    We went on a hike at Hosmer's Grove and decided to stop in for happy hour. For drinks my husband ordered a beer and I ordered the margarita. For nibbles we ordered the Maui Mezze and the Kauai Prawns. The mezze was very good but the prawns were not so good. First of all one the prawns was not cleaned well and the sauce was not to our liking. The service was great except the person that brought out our mezze brought it to the wrong table and left so quickly that the couple sitting at the table didn't get a chance to say anything. After a few minutes our server noticed that the mistake was made and brought it to our table.

    Love this place! Must go when in Maui. The drive is beautiful to this Upcountry Kula restaurant. We sat outdoors. The ambiance is perfect with nice views and garden paths you can take a little stroll. There are water fountains which adds to the relaxing feel. We felt like we were on vacation. Service was friendly upon arrival. Our waitress was also helpful and happy. The food was delicious! We had the Hawaiian Omelette which was filling for the 2 of us. Also ordered the Oatmeal Brûlée. Y-u-m! We will definitely be back! It's our new favorite brunch spot!! Looking forward to trying their pizza next time. It smelled so good cooking from the outdoor oven! They do offer Kama'aina for the local residents which was a nice surprise. If you sit outdoors just look out for the birds! They so like to grab a bite if they can. There is indoor seating with beautiful views if you prefer.

    We came for a special breakfast and a view. We were so glad to be here. They offer military discount on Tuesday and Wednesday and Resident discount with a Hawaii License. The Garden below is like a private home with curving paths and small fountains. Special to come here every time.

    Eggs Benedict.

    Everyone was super friendly but I mean, we are in Maui! The Brussels sprouts were so delicious and crispy. My eggs Benedict was tasty and filling. Perfect for after watching the Sunrise.

    Sitting at the window is an incredible experience. As an architect I just find this building to be so beautiful with so much soul. The shakshuka was a little underwhelming and the burger was average but I really really enjoyed the pizza and the spicy Bloody Mary! And you can't beat that view! The waitstaff was so polite and attentive as well. My parents sent back their ice tea to swap for water because they thought it tasted bad (comes out of a gun they said so the pipes probably need cleaning) and she was incredibly understanding and a true gem. Can't wait for an excuse to come back! I only wish happy hour menu could sit at the window!

    The service, food, and view here were all great. Prices reflect the quality and location, but still felt reasonable overall. We enjoyed everything we ordered except the ceviche -- the dressing just wasn't to our taste. That said, it's a lovely spot for a relaxing lunch, especially after coming down from the summit.

    The view was great but the price is a little bit expensive. We came here after sunrise since many people from travel blog recommended this place. The service was great and we enjoyed the food!

    A hidden treasure amongst the slopes of Haleakala. This historical property hosts one of the best meals on Maui! Incredible view, atmosphere, people and dining experience. A flora of specialty drinks and vegan options avaliable. After experiencing sunrise at Haleakala, stop at Kula Lodge and warm up at their lodge while enjoying a fulfilling breakfast. Afternoon and evening, enjoy their garden terrace with sloping views of Maalea.

    Decent breakfast spot after Haleakala. They had limited options when we went due to some water restrictions but a good place overall. Great service and they had live music when we went. Nice views from their indoor seating. Note that they will have bottled water and paper plates and utensils due to the water shortage. Note that not all menu options may be available so they will have a limited menu and are doing the best they can. Be kind to staff and Come support a local business!

    The food is always amazing and I love stopping in when I'm home visiting. The service is always full of aloha with amazing views and grounded ambiance. The drive up is always peaceful and the selections are always great. Please stop in and visit when you have a chance. This is one of my many favorites of Maui.

    Lovely hibiscus violet mocktail!

    On vacation on Maui for a few days and we were mostly hitting the grocery stores for snacks throughout our stay, but had planned one restaurant day for my friend's birthday dinner. We had 2 vegetarians and a vegan in our party of 5 so it was great to see there were some options on the menu! The lodge itself was cute, quaint, and offered amazing views. There is no air conditioning (only negative for the review--most people are used to that in restaurants, so it was a little warm), but it's high enough in elevation that there was a nice breeze when they opened the doors. If you're used to AC in restaurants, you can ask for a fan (limited availability) and plan to dress lighter. Our waiter (Taylor) was very high energy and took time to find out answers to our questions about different menu items. He was attentive but not overbearingly so, and was very kind to my teenager as well! We ordered the vegan cheese plate and bread for the table. Our omnivores ordered a seared tuna dish and the daily special (another fish dish) and reported that they were excellent. The vegetarians ordered the cauliflower piccata that was so good, the ends were crispy and the sauce was creamy and delicious. Our vegan ordered the vegan burger and was happy with the texture and flavor. We all helped with the plate of fries! They also had live music, a violinist was performing the whole time we were there, and was quite talented. Take a walk through the gardens while you visit!

    Great views!

Table side service would have been preferable. It was an eclectic selection of foods with us choosing an açaí bowel, fish & green bean fries, and beets/goat cheese salad. The combination of food worked well for our family and was certainly tasty. We downed every single bite and licked the bowls clean. No leftovers to be had here! The green bean fries are to die for and this is where I hated that I had to stand in line for an additional order :( My kiddos had a blast naming the neighborhood chickens. I suspect those chickens were disappointed that we had no crumbs to spare for them!

Lots of seating, good for groups. You order then sit (I believe) as thats what most people were doing. They bring you your food (think pancake & Waffles) when it's ready and you grab your own condiments. I ordered The Bento because I couldn't make up my mind. It included rice, mac salad,1 slice spam, Mochiko Chicken, BBQ Beef, and 2 large pieces of Shrimp Katsu. Mochiko Chicken is light and crispy and the Shrimp Katsu was battered and huge. The BBQ Beef was succulent and juicy however the sauce wasn't overwhelming. Spam is spam. The rice was a tad dry however the mac salad was good. I did not eat any of the other plates however since all were empty, Im assuming it was Ono. Next to the register there is a display case with various desserts. The next day going home, we stopped by to grab some dessert. The Lava Rocks come in a pair at $5.50. Moist, soft and super chocolaty. The chocolate haupia bar was very nice and not overly sweet. The Chantilly brownie was very chocolaty with a hint of Chantilly and nuts only on top. Both bars were a Shareable size. Overall the staff is very helpful and friendly, the restaurant itself, very bright & open and the food was very Ono! Highly recommend.

It was a better and more enjoyable choice than Tin Roof as inside dining available though food quality between the two choices is subjective to the one eating. Tin Roof is closed Sunday and Monday.
