    We had a wonderful dinner last night. Starting with cocktails that were excellent, crab cake appetizers and salads and main dishes were all great. Their Coconut curry was so good and big portions so I took the rest home for lunch. Everyone else had either Monchpng or Ahi and were all happy with what they ordered. The new general manager dropped by to introduce herself so that was a plus. We were too full for dessert but the offerings were great.

    Since I grew up next door (White House) and the General store was where we got our mail and whatever, we come every time we come to Maui(home). The food never disappoints and the chef is phenomenal, I don’t think he gets enough credit because he makes it happen. The memories are priceless but the prices are over the top. We’re on vacay and you can’t put a price on memories! I told Jennifer, the manager about the history about Haliimaile General store and she was appreciative of the background since i lived next door. Experience the mouth savoring flavors and ambience of old Haliimaile.

Sharing your personal history with Jennifer must have added a special layer to your visit—what a lovely way to tie past and present together. Here's to many more trips home, delicious meals, and priceless memories! 🌺 Mahalo!
