Seafood Chow Fun
Wesley W.

The Plantation House is an upscale restaurant located at Kapalua Golf Resort. The staff provided excellent service for dinner guests. The ambiance is modern and overlooks Kapalua's famous 18th fairway. Seafood Chow Fun - 5/5 This selection was excellent. Mixed with chow fun are char siu pork, scallop, shrimp, crab, in oyster sauce, sesame seeds, and bean sprouts. The flavors are vibrant with seafood tones. The large shrimp was tender, not hard or over cooked. The scallops were also very tender and the char sui was flavorful. The sauce had a hint of sweetness, very flavorful, and made this selection very good. Catch of the day - 5/5 Ono was the catch of the day. The fish was cooked to perfection. The fish was flaky and tender. The sauce was very tasty and paired very well with the Ono filet. The veggies were very tasty too. I would order the catch of the day again (no matter what the fish selection is). Overall, the Plantation House is an excellent restaurant to dine at. The location of the Plantation House restaurant at the Kapalua Resort in Maui overlooks the 18th hole (a 663-yard, par-5 finishing hole) of the famed Plantation Golf Course. Be sure to make reservations if you decide to dine for dinner.

Had a really beautiful dinner at sunset with family in late Spring 2026. The menu is really beautiful, great island and Californian style cooking, and the bread and butter is delicious. Service is really wonderful as well - Chelsea took good care of us and was very knowledgeable about the specials and guided us through some of her favorites. Portions were quite large so we felt comfortable sharing two dishes without starters and still had some food leftover. Sunset there on a clear day is really spectacular, they pull up the shades so you can get a clear view. Great for photos and a perfect memory of your time on the island.

Beautiful views!!! This restaurant is so lovely and the menu has a variety of options from sandwiches, fish tacos, and more. The drink menu is diverse and I recommend a POG mimosa as it's very refreshing. Service is kind and you never feel rushed. I recommend making a reservation on OpenTable to secure a spot. Lunch is a great option as the views are lovely, it's low key (if you or anyone in your group have sensory issues) and you still have time to explore the day.

Birthday dinner here for my hubby and did not disappoint. The food, service, views were spectacular! Definitely a must try while in Maui.

I love stopping here for brunch when I visit Maui. The views of the plantation course are amazing. The food is a solid 4 star while the balcony table views make it a 5 star.

Look at that smile and beautiful view!!

Anytime we are in Maui, this is a MUST GO TO place! The views are amazing, the gift shop is good, and the food is top notch for breakfast or dinner!

The scenery was the best part of this restaurant. The food was average and not worth the price. The filet came out cold, the chicken was dry, and the poke was incredibly salty. Service was good but the food was a miss for me.

Came to Maui on a trip and visited here with my mom, and it ended up being one of our favorite dining experiences. The view was absolutely stunning, overlooking the golf course! We arrived right around sunset, and honestly wished we had come a little earlier to fully take it in. Such a gorgeous setting. The service was amazing. Our server was incredibly kind and kept offering us more bread (which I happily accepted because it was that good). The bread came with chive butter that was so flavorful, and the bread itself was warm and delicious. There was also live music, which made the ambience even better--just an all-around beautiful place to relax and enjoy a meal. Bonus points for free valet, which made parking super easy. For food, we got the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi, which was really good, slightly on the sweeter side, but still flavorful. The Hawaiian short ribs were a standout for me: super tender, perfectly cooked, and just packed with flavor. We also ordered the panko crusted calamari, which I loved. The pieces were thick, juicy, and had a light, crispy coating that wasn't greasy at all, really easy to eat. Portions were also very decent. I also saw their breakfast menu and now I definitely want to come back to try it soon!

This place was amazing. We went for dinner one evening and decided to go back for breakfast the next day. Service and staff and food were all so good.! Will definitely be making this a place to visit every time we come to Maui.

Beautiful views, incredible food, and surprisingly family-friendly! While visiting Maui, we made a reservation at The Plantation House, and it ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip. The setting alone is stunning--overlooking the Kapalua golf course with gorgeous ocean views--but the food absolutely lived up to the scenery. We started with a fresh house salad, which was simple but perfectly dressed and a great way to kick things off. For entrées: * My husband ordered the short rib, which was incredibly tender and rich with flavor. The sauce paired perfectly with the creamy mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. * My oldest son had the prime rib, and it was cooked beautifully with a great sear and topped with asparagus and a flavorful butter. * I chose the shrimp scampi, which was buttery, garlicky, and packed with shrimp. The pasta was coated in the most delicious creamy sauce and even came with toasted bread to soak up every bit of it. * My younger two ordered from the kids menu--the kids short rib and butter-and-cheese fettuccini--and both plates were generous and surprisingly elevated for kids' meals. Everything we ordered came out looking beautiful and tasting just as good. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the whole experience felt relaxed but still upscale. If you're visiting Maui and want a spot that delivers great food, amazing views, and works well for families, The Plantation House is absolutely worth the reservation.

Caesar Salad!
Frankie M.

The Plantation House was spectacular! Located in Kapalua, Hawaii, this popular restaurant is known for its island-inspired cuisine, stunning ocean and golf course views, and upscale, yet casual atmosphere! My wife booked us a table for weekend brunch! I love a hearty breakfast, so I ordered the portuguese sausage, bacon and cheddar omelette! Omg, fire!!! My wife ordered the chicken wings with extra cilantro sauce- AMAZING! The chicken was super tender and delicious! My daughters ordered the caesar salad with protein, and an egg scrambled with a side of portuguese sausage- because why the hell not?! It's that delish! Drinks were on point and refreshing! Service was absolutely superb! Our waiter was super friendly and chatty (it's that Aloha spirit). But the real highlight of our dining experience were the spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and Plantation golf course. What a view! Totally worth it!

Two fish special
Talia F.

Pulling into the plantation set the tone for the evening. Special, elegant, breathtaking. A slice of Maui heaven. The staff was attentive and welcoming. The ambiance was club house chic. And the food was just as amazing. Great way to celebrate a special occasion.

Fish tacos
Susan S.

Incredible setting and Kapalua located on a golf course. Fish tacos or so perfect season perfectly there's three in an order with chips, cilantro, fresh tomatoes. Great breakfast menu at lunch menu with something for everybody. Incredible views of the Mountains and ocean! Incredible setting. I have been coming for many years and I recommend this restaurant highly. It will not disappoint. .

Is the restaurant Accessible? My Aunt requires the use of a wheelchair.

It is. There is a ramp there and the seating would easily accommodate a wheelchair. I would recommend calling ahead of time. I called to have something special done for an anniversary and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

A Maui Tradition for Over 30 Years…read more We've been coming to Hula Grill every time we visit Maui for over 30 years, and it's become a tradition we wouldn't want to miss. The view is always spectacular, the fish is consistently fresh, and their Mai Tais are still among the best on the island! We dined in the main restaurant on October 7, and overall, the service was pretty good and the food was decent, although not quite as memorable as it was 20 years ago. Unfortunately, the restaurant has become increasingly crowded over the years, which is understandable given its popularity as a tourist destination. One disappointing experience was dining in the bar area, where there's sand on the floor. During our visit last year, the area was filled with flies, which was pretty disgusting. Needless to say, we won't be dining in that section again. We've found the main restaurant to be a much better experience. Despite a few disappointments, Hula Grill remains a Maui classic for us. You can't beat the oceanfront setting, fresh fish, and excellent Mai Tais. We'll likely continue to visit on future trips, but we do hope the food and overall experience can recapture some of the magic we remember from years past.

First time in Maui, first meal after arriving. I'd tried the Hula Grill in Waikiki and thought the…read morefood was good, not wow, but this was a choice made by others in our small group, so I just went along because of the excellent location by the Whalers Village shopping center on one side, and the beach and ocean views on the other. Unfortunately, we were a bit delayed by our flight and hotel check in that we got here a bit late, after the sun had already set.....sadly, we missed that. The place was absolutely packed!.....but we had reservations, checked in, and waited about 10 minutes after our reservation time, and was then given a pretty decent table inside vs an outdoor table closer to the beach. Service was nice, friendly, and helpful.....so no complaints about that. As for the food....whilst walking to our table, we saw servers carrying trays of yummy looking fish and chips and tacos, but later found out that they were serving diners at the bar area, so these items were not available in the more "formal" Hula Grill restaurant section....bummer. Anyway, it was getting a bit late for us on California time, so we all chose to eat light...I orderd the Chilled Seafood Platter, and others in the group ordered the Grilled Fish, Roasted beets, Wok Charred Iwamoto Noodles, Seafood Poststickers, and ended everything with a huge slice of their signature Hula Pie. My Seafood Platter was served chilled with Kiawe charred sashimi grade ahi, a couple of small lobster tails, grileld and chilled jumbo shrimp cocktail, and some sides of kimchi, and wasabi. Yes, everything was very fresh and delicious, but I truly expected the portion to be much bigger, considering it's called a "Platter." Was a bit disappointed as others at our table wanted to try some of my seafood, but I had to say NO as I would be left with close to nothing to eat had I shared it. The other issue we all had was with the Lobster, Shrimp, and Scallop Potstickers. It came with a measly 5 small and flat pieces with so little stuffing that you couldn't even taste the seafood inside....even if you had put the whole thing in your mouth at once. It just need much more stuffing.....or what's the point? Whilst walking to the mens room, I walked by the kitchen and saw several plates of other dishes being put out for servers to serve to the diners......yea, the portion sizes of everything were so tiny!!! This is not something I really expected from such a restaurant......yea, the quiality may be quite good, but you'd never fill up on any of these entrees. It was a pretty good experience here, but it was more about the setting than the food.

Captain Jack's has been resurrected on the Sands of Kahana resort property and it is absolutely fantastic! Sweeping views of the ocean, bright and airy with a festive Island vibe. The entire place opens up and there is plenty of seating. The bar is a big horseshoe, the surrounding bar area is plenty large as is the dining room. Just a short walk from our resort. We were in Kahana for a week and we hit Captain Jack's at least once every day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks. All exceptional. The first night we rolled in met our bartender, Travis. What a cool cat this guy is! He plays bass in a Surf Rock band Sting Kong. (on Spotify and IG @stingkong808) check 'em out! Awesome barkeep. We also ran into Travis off-duty grabbing a drink at Dollies one night. We were even able to watch the Padres game one morning when they had a 10:00 AM local time start. I won't bore you further with in depth descriptions of the food we tried between the four of us. Just know that it was all outstanding. Notable standouts were the grilled fish tacos, calamari. The Loco Moco with Portuguese sausage was off the hook! *Fresh Fish Taco grilled fresh fish, corn tortillas, cheese, bacon aioli, cabbage, pico de gallo. *Nachos tortilla chips, black beans, cheddar & jack cheese, jalapenos, cheese sauce, pico de gallo, avocado crema, salsa, sour cream and cilantro.

We went during happy hour (2:30 - 5pm) where their hand crafted cocktails were $4 off. Prior to this, I haven't had a Mai Tai before so was unsure how they should taste but the Monkeypod version contained honey-lilikoi foam which made them bright, inviting, and iconic. Well everyone in the family loved these. They were simply delicious. From their happy hour food menu (appetizers were half off except anything containing seafood), the Roasted Chicken Wings were a hit with my sons. The Poke Tacos which were beautifully presented were fresh and tasty. One order comes with 3 so we ordered an extra taco which turned out to be the right move as they are on the small side. And I wanted to point out since the Tacos contained seafood, it was not eligible for the discount. Pizzas were priced at $16 (except for the Bourgeois) so we opted for the Margherita and Kahlua Pork and Pineapple. The latter was our family favorite. The pork was tender and flavorful which contrasted nicely with the sweet pineapple. We did order the Fish and chips from their regular menu. Mahi mahi was the fish of the day and it was good, but nothing exceptional. The fish came out nice and hot but the temperature of the fries were not so was a little disappointed. We ended our meal with the Banana Cream Pie. We all agreed that it was hands down the best Banana cream pie that we have had. The bananas were so fresh and flavorful, so much umami. The restaurant was open/airy and the view was amazing. Our server was friendly and the service went without a hitch. We will definitely be back.
