Reservations are recommended. They have seating indoor and outside on their patio. It's a fairly large, open venue with high ceilings. They have a full bar.

We ordered Mai Tais, spicy tuna roll, kalua pork nachos, garlic noodles, and coconut shrimp. The drinks were yummy and made well. The food tasted great and the portions were generous. It's nice that they have a menu that only locals can order from anytime of the day. Mahalo Three's for taking care of us!

Ambiance is romantic. They have plates, cups, utensils on every table, before you are seated…read more Which is perfectly fine. However, when you have to wipe the dust off of your dipping bow and plate, that kinda concerns me. The outdoor tables are located under a tree. Who knows where the "dust" came from. Strike 1. The ahi that was served with the salad was warm. Never had sashimi served warm (and with salt n pepper on it). Kinda scared me, but we still ate it. I truly regret this. Strike 2. The steak was delicious though. Tender and cooked perfectly. The sauce was also delicious. I believe it was a tomato-based sauce and as well as chimichurri. My husband and I shared our plates with each other. We both ended up with painful, upset stomachs that night. Strike 3.

We stumbled upon Vana because we tried to do a walk-in for Mama's Fish House, but were unable to…read more My friend had a craving for oysters, and within the area, Vana popped up on Yelp. Unfortunately, there were no oysters. It was actually a bit tough to find a place with oysters in Maui (shoutout to Fleetwood's). It was perfect because we ended up just wanting a light dinner, and this restaurant has tapas and small portions. Not a bang for your buck, by any means, though. I was a bit bummed because I wanted a specific appetizer (similar to a wagyu beef tataki), but they did not have it. Instead, I got the hamachi carpaccio, which was still good. I also ordered a spicy rainbow roll. You could tell that the fish was very fresh on top, but the roll itself was just decent. Not worth the $25 and it was also not spicy. I think my favorite food item was the karaage. It was crispy, tender and the sauce was the cherry on top. I am looking at the menu and I realize that a lot of these cocktails are new, which is another bummer because I would have loved to try all of them (guava mojito, spicy lilikoi mezcalita and vana colada -- yes please!) The restaurant itself is so cute! There is definitely a rustic vibe to it. It could look like a treehouse because there's a big tree in the middle and string lights. It is an outdoor restaurant, and there is an extended outdoor section as well that has a little more secluded feel. There's a bar area, but it is a bit small.

Chic simple little store with very friendly service, they have a few tables if you want to sit and hang out.

I just ordered their original bowl. The bowl comes with banana, and berries. The bowl was okay. I thought the açaí was too sweet and there was not enough fruit. The container was filled ¾ full of açaí. The ratio was very off. I didn't finish the bowl, it was too sweet. The place was pretty clean, some of the tables may need to be wiped down. They serve coffee and shaved ice as well. Shaved ice is a separate location from the coffee. It's just off to the right.

My husband and I thought we ordered a reasonable amount of food and quickly realized we may have gotten a little too ambitious. Everything tasted fresh and comforting, and it was exactly the kind of breakfast we wanted before a full day of exploring the island. The staff was friendly, service moved quickly despite how busy it was, and the atmosphere felt very local and welcoming. There are a lot of breakfast spots on Maui, but I can see why this place is always recommended. If you're visiting, it's definitely worth stopping by at least once. Just don't make the same mistake we did and over-order... although I can't say I regret it.

You order at the register first, and then the staff helps you find an available spot on their patio. There was a bit of a wait on a weekday morning, but we slowly got through the line and were seated. We decided to try their: - Cheese Omelette with added Spinach, Onion and Portuguese Sausage - Macadamia Nut & Banana Mochi Pancakes - The mochi element added a fun texture to the pancakes, making them extra chewy. I do want to note that each topping is extra as a heads-up! - Ube Cold Brew Overall, I'm glad we went with a sweet and savory option and was surprised that we finished the hefty portions.

Service was attentive and friendly, conversations were natural and light hearted, it was fun to interact with the chef and the staff as they pass by the bar where we sit. Also best seat in the house cos we got to see every dish come out so we have a preview of all the dishes. Food was delicious and cook in front of us, that was a bonus! Tried the kapachi crudo with passion fruit miso, love it, good blend of savory and tartness. The gnocchi was fluffy and soaked up the Brie sauce very well with small pieces of guanciale that added crunch. Smashed burger was the show!! Crispy edges dry aged wagyu patty with very light pink on the juicy inside, cooked along with caramelized onions and cheese, buns were pressed slightly on the grill with sprinkle of salt to add flavor which was a nice touch! Local catch today was the snapper, charcoal grill was very aromatic and cook for fish delicately with veggies that were sautéed with tako vinaigrette. Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and a scoop of honey lavender ice cream was so heavenly! The meal was delicious and fun, definitely will visit again!

We went June 28 when they opened at 8 am. We ordered hash breakfast and Bloody Marys. The food was…read morefresh and tasty, ample portion at breakfast. But only one egg. I had the hash with ham. My husband had the same hash with grilled ahi (very salty) . They tell you the egg on the hash is a runny sous vide- I think she said. I thought it would be ok, like ramen, ....Runny was right, the white of the egg was more translucent than opaque. Specify more cooked egg if this raw thing is not for you. Service was with a smile, but we were half finished with our breakfast before the Bloody Marys showed up. Patio is nice and airy with some view across the blue course and toward Molokini. In the treetops. So why a rate of 3? It's the details- the server commented on delayed drinks very dismissively, and their outdoor speaker was on too loud to the point it reverberated with some static, definitely blown out. I asked to please turn it down or off as it was not adding to the experience. Got a very strange look and maybe it was turned down a fraction about 10 minutes later. Traffic noise was significant but we were sitting outside next to the road. Expected. But to compete with the music and traffic was not our cup of tea. This breakfast as described was $95. You decide.

In the back, you will find a food court with endless options, whether you grab what is already laid out or order fresh off the menu. I had the California roll twice, and the rice was so soft with a perfect rice-to-filling ratio, easily the best California roll I have ever had. I also tried the BBQ flatbread, which was pretty good. Ordering off the menu was also a great option. I got the fried rice and galbi, which came with sides and were all delicious. One thing my friend could not stop talking about was the poke, which was slightly on the spicier side but fresh, soft, and very tasty. This place has it all, and you really cannot go wrong. It might be a bit more on the expensive side depending on what you get, but it is pretty in line with the rest of Hawaii's pricing. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You can also grab groceries and snacks while you are there.
