    The hostess wasn’t the most accommodating. She put us in a very sunny in your eye small table for 4 and when asked for a different table it did not please her. The place had several open tables so it wasn’t like we were asking when they were extremely busy and crowded. Did get moved to a table that had more room for 4

    Excellent food and server was very attentive after a slow start (was occupied with several nearby tables so took a while to get to everyone). Live music was a bit too loud for a while but overall ambiance was pleasant.

    Went for Thanksgiving. Turkey was OK but sides were skimpy and bland. Way overpriced at $57.

    Put this restaurant on your list when in Maui! My wife and I had the special, pink snapper, along with the fish and lobster pasta, both were fantastic! The restaurant is open air, very casual, with live music, and to top it off service was great by our waitress!!

    We’ve been to Sonz steakhouse and plantation house. This was our 3rd meal of the trip and it was amazing. Get the lobster deviled eggs, cornbread, macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi and the pork tacos. Best restaurant of the trip so far.

    This places promised a lot with the location but unfortunately didn’t do its ratings justice. We ordered the noodles, soup and tacos and it pretty much tasted super stale. Service was good.
