    Our Server was snarky uncaring and generally didn't care. However the GM Renee was gracious and willing to listen to suggestions. Renee is the reason we will return.

    Wonderful food and ambiance. Two favorite entrees, Pulled pork and enchilada pie, seem to be off the menu. Service was extremely slow due to a staffing shortage. Our server did the best she could under the circumstances.

    We always enjoy eating at the general store. Unfortunately they took our favorite item off the menu. Open table has not updated their menu. Kaluha pork enchilada pie is no longer offered. The Tai Mai is the best Mai tai on the island. Also the banana cheesecake is fantastic.
    Haliimaile General StoreResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear you’ve always enjoyed dining with us. We truly appreciate your loyalty. We’re sorry to hear that your favorite item, the Kahlua pork enchilada pie, is no longer on the menu, and we apologize for any confusion with the OpenTable menu. We’ll make sure to update our listings to reflect the current options. It’s wonderful to hear that you still love our Mai Tai and banana cheesecake—we’re so glad those continue to impress! We hope to welcome you back soon and provide you with another excellent dining experience. Mahalo!

    We all had a great lunch. I had the grilled mahi with rice and lemon grass sauce. Dan had poke and Linda had a sashimi dish. All very good. The soup of the day (potato leek) was outstanding.
