Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Upcountry

We were initially seated at a table right in front of the musician. I asked to be moved and was accommodated with a table on their lower patio. It was quiet and lovely with sparkling little white lights around the canopy poles. Our server, Robert, was excellent. He was very personable and helpful but never intrusive. His menu suggestions were terrific. The filet and mahi-mahi were perfectly cooked and served with yummy potatoes or rice and veggies. Salads are crisp and delicious as our their other starters. If you have room for dessert, they are decadent. My husband says their Mai tais are the best and the no Kai oi martini is my favorite. Merriman’s is pricey but worth it for the great drinks, food, and service. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time.

Amazing experience! So many good choices. My husband and I’s favorites are eggplant appetizer, and butterfish! Adobo ribs are delicious, of course the star garlic noodle is definitely the signature. Only suggestion for the restaurant is I wish they could use a scissor to cut into the noddles somewhat when serving it so people can easily separate and share. This is definitely a must visit in Maui.

Stumbled upon this on OT and it was meant to be! Perfect sunset view, great live music & delicious sushi. We went on a Wednesday for the sushi night. Servers were very attentive. the bread pudding was also amazing. must go!

Monkeypod Kitchen was amazing. It surpassed my expectations, we had an amazing dinner. We ordered the seabass special and the ahi steak. Both were phenomenal. Mai tais and espresso martinis were delicious. Strawberry pie was to die for. We would definitely go back again. Also props to our amazing server, Ryan. He was attentive and gave great suggestions!

Great atmosphere. Food (burgers & fries) very good. Service very good. Loved flight options & other non-beer beverage options. Really enjoyed the two young ladies performing last night. Glad this was on our “must do” visit to Maui.
