    We had the Valentine's Day special. The food was excellent, maybe a bit too much food for us. It seemed a bit pricey, but overall, it was very good. Fortunately, we sat outside, so noise level was great for us, inside was quite noisy.

    We had reservations for 4 on Valentine's Day (dinner). We arrived a bit early but they seated us right away. The service was friendly and relatively quick for how busy they were. Our waitress Toby was terrific. 2 of us had the Jambalaya, 1 had the spicy Chicken Katsu Sandwich and 1 had the Coconut Crusted Fish Sandwich. Everything was hot and delicious. We'll be back!

    Everytime we come to Maui one of our meals is definitely at Honu. Love sitting by the water listening to the sound of gentle waves. The food is delicious! Spanish octopus, Ahi Tuna toast are so yummy. Fish is always cooked to perfection. Just wonderful!

    If you can't find joy dining in this open-air cafe, there are bigger problems. This beautiful, sunny courtyard just puts a smile on your face. Surrounded by pretty flowers, trees and a light breeze...it is quintessential "Hawaii" at its best. The food was good. Fresh ingredients, made to order. I had the banana bread french toast. It was outstanding. My guests had everything from an omelet to the breakfast wrap. All of it was good. The service left very little to be desired. Food from other tables was being brough to our table, drinks took a very long time, waitstaff seemed preoccupied and confused. We received food at our table several times that wasn't ours. No big deal, it got rerouted just fine...but it all seemed a little clunky. And when you would try to solicit some assistance, it fell on deaf ears. Does the medicore service kick this location out of contention for further breakfast visits? Absolutely not. Go enjoy this beautiful little spot...just bring a little more patience than you usually do.
