    Amazing meal with some good unique touches - dried mushroom, sparkling grapes, gold and silver foil. Excellent lamb, foie. Appetizer and dessert each a collection of many tastes. Can't fathom how they do it with just two of them.

    In a small nondescript storefront in paia. There's a very special family restaurant that serves artisan quality food. we went to celebrate my partner's birthday, and she was extremely impressed with the experience. It has a evolved since the last time we were there, they have a multitude of local inspired courses with top quality ingredients. The use with smoke to flavor the items. The colors and the way the food is set up on the plates is special. The way they pace the meal with the courses, and the wine is definitely unique for restaurants that I tend to go to. When you book your reservation review the pricing, this place is expensive. Clearly lot of resources going to your meal and the price reflects that but for a special occasion or for doing something out of the ordinary, it's worth it. Jeremy and his partner pauline I've done such a great job at this place. I'm happy to have been able to check it out again years later and see where they've taken it if you're visiting MAUI and you have the opportunity I would check it out.

    My fiancé reserved this place for us as our biggest food outing. It ended up being one of our absolute favorite experiences on the island. We were so giddy and excited for every dish, they each came with a different set of textures and tastes but somehow fit together perfectly into the 7 course meal. It was worth every penny. And we were so happily full at the end. Our experience was about 2hrs 45min and we enjoyed every minute of it. Truly, the food was magnificent, the ambiance was so calming and elegant and dimly lit, the music was perfect, and the service was the best we've ever had. You're not just paying for a meal, it truly is a journey + experience. Jeremy, the chef, gave us the low-down on the first and final meal, Paulina was with us through it all in between. She also chatted with us about Maui and gave us recommendations of other great spots around town. We're going to do this experience every-time we come to Maui moving forward. Cannot recommend it enough!!

    Inventive dishes with the freshest ingredients. Service was great. We are looking forward to our next visit.

    I hate to write negative reviews for a family owned restaurants, but I thought it's important to give constructive feedback for growth of the business. My husband and I love tasting menus & course meals, and we were really excited to try this place as it seemed unique. I am not sure if we came on an off night in terms of menu items and selections, but we were quite disappointed with the food especially since we paid almost $900 for two of us. While the ingredients used were high quality and good selection, the combination of flavors didn't make sense at all. For instance, one of the first course meal came with small sampler of snowcrab, bluefin toro, tobiko etc but it included a side of chili water shot which was extremely spicy and extremely potent and overpowered the rest of the items on the dish and didn't make the dish enjoyable. Another instance was the foie gras topped with Ikura and served with picked cucumber. I love foie gras and I love picked cucumber, but I hated this dish. The ikura made the foie gras taste super fishy and the pickled cucumber tasted like straight up super potent vinegar, again the super potent pickled cucumber overpowered the balance of the dish tasting extremely sour. The dessert was the final dish where the flavor was too strong that it threw the dish out of balance. I love sour flavor in general and I actually did enjoy the dessert because it was really really really sour. But for the average person like my husband, the flavoring was too strong and out of balance. While the ribeye was good , it was unnecessary to pair it with tuna belly, which makes it a confusing flavor combination. The cherry tomato, corn and green bean were also not cohesive together, not to mention the green bean was uncooked. Also at $300 course meal, I'd expect attention to detail, but they forgot to include the cherry tomato for my husband's dish. Out of all the courses, we enjoyed the sparkling wine, shrimp risotto and the focaccia with homemade garlic butter. The overall experience took 3.5 hours which is too long in my opinion for 6 course meal (seems reasonable for 8 course), but I understand it was only the husband cooking hence why it took so long. Overall rating: -Quality of Ingredients: 10/10 -Taste, Balance and Cohesiveness: 2/10 -Creativity: 6/10 -Service: 10/10 -Ambience: 9/10 Overall, I'd say this establishment did not meet expectations at all and it was the worse the course dinner I've had at this price point for the lack of cohesiveness and the lack of balance of the ingredients and flavors.

    Pork Belly (something I have never tried before) was soooo good.

    Favorite food experience on Maui BY FAR. This place was delightfully unexpected...yes, the solid 5 star rating is entirely accurate, but the dishes we were served had some ingredients we were not normally fans of the my husband and I were committed to trying everything we were served and thus the unexpected part was that we LOVED everything. Chef's preparations were delicious, thoughtful prepared with beautiful presentation and full attention to detail. We enjoyed Nylos very, very much.

    Not a bad view in the entire dining room. It feels very cozy and friendly. Great vibes.

    The entire experience from when I walked in the door to when I left was just amazing! The ambiance was great, the food was beyond delicious and Paulina and Jeremy are very welcoming and friendly. It is a great experience to watch the magic happen in the kitchen. They also do such a great job engaging with the guests. Will be back.

    Dessert with a birthday candle

    I was very lucky to be gifted a meal for 2 here by a friend for my birthday and it turned out to be a wonderful date night for hubby and I. It was very easy to book online and also include the fact that I don't eat meat, but eat seafood, fish and dairy in their comments section. Parking is street parking and can prove to be difficult if you book for the 5pm seating, but go up the hill a bit and you will probably find a park. Much easier than parking in the public pay parking and hiking up the hill. As this is a boutique restaurant there are very few tables so you receive very personalized service, with a description of each dish as it is served (you will have a menu to check each course too), you never have to ask for water, and you can watch the chef in the kitchen creating his masterpieces and enjoy the smells wafting over, making you salivate in anticipation. It is almost like a show and dinner ;) This is reminiscent of the Nouvelle Cuisine we used to enjoy in London and Paris, small plates of highly creative luxurious foods served in courses with time between each to converse and drink and relax over 3 hours. We loved every minute and every bite. From the generous shaving of truffles over the most amazing mushrooms, to the foie gras and trio of caviar samplers, to the delicious sparkling zesty champagne grapes Mushrooms were substituted for my foie gras which I was very pleased about as I love mushrooms. The surf n turf was subbed to surf n surf with prawns accompanied by fish. Delicious! The locally sourced and imported luxurious ingredients, the chef's amazing knowledge of how to tantalise your palate, his wife's impeccable customer service, the extensive wine list and the cozy ambience of the restaurant all add up to a perfect evening. It may be pricey but worth every cent. You won't find another place like this on the island. In fact you will be hard pressed to find somewhere as charming on the mainland either. A lot of reviewers are marking this restaurant down for the time it takes to finish the meal, by how small the plates are (but remember you are getting 5 so it all adds up to more than 2 plates you will get at a regular restaurant), and for the price. Perhaps they don't understand the concept of nyloS and aren't prepared to embrace the idea of slowing down and taking time to appreciate excellent food served in an authentically original way?

    Great food, great chef & wife, great service - great environment! We loved our very long, very in depth meal(s). Highly recommend!

    Excellent experience if ypure ever in Maui. I found this place when looking for nice restaurants on the island. They do two seatings. One at 5pm and one at 8pm. I choose the 5pm. When making my reservation I requested dessert first (whuch they had no problem accommodating). I was a tad late for my reservation because I was driving from Hana. I called about 10times because I didn't want to miss out on my deposit. Although no one ever answered, when I arrived (about 20mins behind). The waiter let me know that he received my voicemail. They run a small operation. There was only the chef, one waiter and a dishwasher. The restaurant seats about 14 people but it helps with keeping the experience intimate. I was able to have conversations with the waiter, the chef and other people dining. Some even got up to watch the chef plate meals. For details about the menu for the evening please review my pictures. Some things I liked more than others but everything was great. I made the mistake of eating too much earlier in the day so I was already too full when I got there. The portions are comfortable so please go with an appetite. I do reccomend this place for a nice solo dinner or a date night.

The inside seating has no romantic ambiance, better suited for lunch or breakfast. We had a lot of attention from two servers who attended to our culinary needs more than adequately. The vintage style lighting is perfect, in many cases they are staying with the warmth of incandescent lamps but the LED's that are in service are not too harsh and blend in. The warm garlic bread with caramelized onion was outstanding and we were served another round after devouring the first. The tempered butter really provided emphasis for the consumption. Our three course prix fixe menu started with soup or salad. Both were wonderful. The soup was full of kale but the flavors of the soup were absorbed by said kale and it worked well. The salad had fresh spring greens and the dressing was a light rice vinegar sesame that really complimented the greens without overpowering them. The Mahi Curry over jasmine rice came with roasted vegetables. The vegetables had a slight hint of char that was perfect, a rare attempt at this in restaurants in my experience. The curry was not overly spicy and slightly sweet, a good version. The fish was very good, ever so slightly overcooked for my preference. The glazed salmon was pretty awesome. The fish was cooked absolutely perfect. The glaze was not overly sweet and had a bit of soy sauce flavor to it. The roasted veggies on the side were great. The matcha pot de crème was rich and addictive. It was presented with fresh berries on top and was a delight. Lilikoi chia seed dragonfruit pudding with coconut was very different for me. Definitely what I would call an "Adult" dessert. Not one bit sugary and every bite interesting. Note to self: take it easy on the bread at the beginning of the meal and you won't get so stuffed.

We've been coming here for years and I've always enjoyed my experiences here, but last night I had a dish that compelled me to write a review. The oxtail soup which is listed as a favorite is a dish I've been eyeing for a while, but it's usually been too warm for me to crave it. But last night was the night. I'm getting over a cold and it's been raining off and on for weeks. The bowl arrived at the table with a plate underneath - smart move because it takes some work to eat oxtail soup. Armed with my fork and spoon, I went at it. The first taste floored me. It was perfectly seasoned and I could taste the fresh ginger, the broth was a beautiful brown color, there was plenty of napa cabbage and it came with a dish of a scoop of glossy steamed rice and steamed carrots, zucchini and broccoli. Our waitress offered to bring over condiments so I went for the soy sauce - sprinkled on the rice and veggies, I noticed that the veggies might have had a little sesame oil flavor on them so that made me happy. A spoonful of rice dunked into the broth with some of the tender fall of the bone oxtail meat, and a little crunch of the napa cabbage and I was in absolute heaven. I tasted my husband's pork adobo and that was equally as delicious as always. But that soup - that's what really did it for me last night and stays with me today. I walked out of Tante's with a swollen and happy belly and a fresh, tiny piece of ginger stuck between my teeth...a treat for later.
