Best Casual Restaurants in Kula

We had the absolute best time at Monkeypod in Wailea. Our food was delicious. We had the iconic Mai Tai’s, lobster deviled eggs, the Saimin, and Bulgogi Pork Tacos. Everything came quickly and was phenomenal. Our server DJ was personable and gave wonderful recommendations. We will definitely stop by again before we head back home!

We tried a variety of foods and everything from the surf to the turf to the sushi bar was all amazing quality and reasonable portions. Even our kids loved the chicken tenders, which were perfectly prepared. Good beer selection and solid cocktails. The service was low-key and knowledgeable, atmosphere was casual and comfortable. Probably only once the trip destination for our budget, but definitely enjoyed everything about it. 

For our last minute reservations at Cassanova’s and a table for five. Great service here from entire staff, our server Chris is friendly and attentive. Cold drinks came right away. Salads were fresh and cold. Our pasta dishes were plentiful and delicious. Meatball dish was tasty, hot and well portioned.

If you’re looking for outdoor seating in a friendly atmosphere and a setting to beat the band, look no further than Maui Ocean Vodka. From the wide array of tropical drinks, made with their own smooth brand of gluten free vodka, as well as other spirits, to delectable appetizers and main offerings, loved by both carnivores and herbivores alike, as well as delicious gluten free pizza, there’s something to tickle the taste buds of just about everyone. Most evenings offer talented local musicians to add to the ambience. Reservations aren’t necessary, but are recommended.

Had a fantastic dinner last night with my husband and toddler at a cozy upcountry Maui spot. The vibe was intimate yet casual, perfect for our family. The drinks were amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection, and our server, Ben, was attentive and kind. Can’t wait to return!
