   Food was very good, a bit pricey. Noise level was very bad, bar in the dining room, disco club type of music. Made reservation on this site, and was asked if it was a special occasion, which it was. My wife's 70th BD but no mention of it by anyone. Service was standard but very generic, no interaction at all. One and done for us at the Makawao public house.

   We loved this place. The drive from Kalului at 7pm was dark and a little scary, but well worth it. The restaurant seemed like a place for all and where all were welcome. There was a family of about 14 celebrating a 16th bday, a group of men in the corner toasting and eating steak, various culled and numerous people at the bar. We immediately felt welcome by the hostess and our waiter, Davide. We started with the banana old fashions, recommended by Davide. They were smooth with a hint of banana. Delicious! We also shared their dynamite shrimp and a smash burger with the best truffle fries which was equally as good. A local woman at the resort we stayed at had suggested Public House for the best burger on the island. Im not sure if it was the best, but it was definitely wonderful and one that I’d return for. The best time in Maui, we may not make the drive to Hana, but definitely to Makawao Public House.

   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!

   Lighting is too bright. It would be great if they could dim the recessed lights.
