Always a wonderful dining experience at Honu. Food quality and presentation are outstanding and our server, Gerry, made great recommendations. Gerry and the kitchen staff also created a relaxed flow of courses - which allowed us to fully enjoy our evening. Mahalo Honu!

Outstanding meal - probably the best food on Maui. Had the Upcountry Salad (so fresh!), fish of the day (Kampachi in a beautiful truffle sauce), lobster pasta (OMG), and the bread pudding for dessert. Would order the exact same but also try the chicken next time.

This place is an absolutely gorgeous setting on the water. The service was exceedingly exceptional. We had a delayed flight and were late to our reservation, but they held a table for us for my husband’s birthday, and they made it extra special with a complimentary toast and dessert. The food was so fresh and delicious; we had the Hummus and quesadilla to start, and the daily ocean special (red snapper) and the macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi. Everything from the view, the music, the service, the mai tai, and the food, was PERFECT!

About the restaurant

For many years, the Kula Lodge has been a favorite for both visitors and Kama'aina alike for delicious cuisine and breathtaking views of Maui. Perched high on the slopes of Haleakala with a 180 degree view of Maui, the Kula Lodge and Restaurant is a comfortable and homey place to relax, especially on your way down from the sunrise or sunset at the crater. It is situated on 4 lovely acres and not only has a stunning botanical garden, it has the only full-service bar and live music in Kula. It's also the only place upcountry with dancing (on Friday and Saturday nights)!

The restaurant seats up to 160 guests, making it ideal for weddings and special events. The Kula Lodge outdoor Garden Terrace features a brick wood-burning pizza oven and an open view of south, central and the Maui mountains. The sunset views are absolutely phenomenal!

Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5-7 have live entertainment; Friday & Saturday evenings from 5-8pm have live entertainment AND dancing!

We had a Filet Mignon cooked to perfection and the house made Pappardelle served in a wonderfully delicious ragu made beef and venison. Indescribably delicious. The double chocolate cake for dessert was heavenly. We will definitely plan to return soon to this up country gem.
