One plate was enough to probably feed two or three people. I ordered the lau lau plate, which is pork (and a small amount of preserved fish for flavor) wrapped in taro leaves. If you hadn't tried lau lau before, you must try it! The waitress was so nice and offered shoyu and sriracha, which took the flavors to a whole new level. The poi and salad accompaniments also tasted fresh. It's a small restaurant tucked away in a strip mall. You can choose either full service or take-out to sit outside.

I had to try the fresh fish just to erase the bad airplane fish plate and their mahi mahi delivered! Nicely done with lemon and taken off the heat before it was overdone, I was relieved to have my first taste of fish on the island be so fresh and delicious. Also tried the completely filling pork centric breakfast plate which would have fed 2 people or a very hungry linebacker! Loved the ambiance with wild chickens roaming the dining area and a huge canoe overhead. They make their own special sauce which goes with everything! Go early if you are eating during weekends or prime dining times, the line wraps around the entire patio during the popular eating times.

Gorgeous restaurant, very friendly and efficient service (highly recommend making a reservation during popular mealtimes), very well made and clean locally sourced ingredients for their menu items. They are one of the few places open a bit later and with all day service that is not in a hotel. Plenty of parking and an elevator for ease of access. They also offer live music and happy hour. They made my favorite salad of my trip... it was a very simple green salad made with local sweet onions and greens that was a must order with every meal. The deviled eggs with lobster was another favorite. The fish and chips, tuna melt, burger, and mahi sandwich were all good. I would pass on the happy hour pizza and fried dumplings - both were more dough than topping or filling.

They surprised us with complimentary champagne for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. Every part of the service was excellent -- from the host to our server to the food runners. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and very on top of making sure we had everything we needed. Plates were cleared promptly, our table was kept tidy, and we never had to ask for anything twice. The drinks were also excellent. My husband had an Old Fashioned, and I had a dirty gin martini, and both were superb. The food recommendations were great, and everything we ordered was delicious. We started with the Caesar salad and shrimp cocktail. My husband had the surf and turf, and I had the macadamia nut-crusted fish. We finished with cheesecake and crème brûlée for dessert, and both were amazing. The location is beautiful as well. It's an incredible spot to watch the sunset with a gorgeous ocean view right next to the golf course, which made our anniversary dinner feel even more special. Between the food, cocktails, service, views, and thoughtful anniversary touches, we had such a memorable evening. We will definitely be coming back the next time we're in Maui.

We enjoyed the food so much we ordered another garlic Szechuan noodles to take back to the hotel with us for tomorrow's lunch and to go with our leftover chicken!

As many do I spent an exorbitant amount of time researching accommodations, excursions, and…read morerestaurants. We were spending 8 days on Maui, and Lineage was to be the capstone meal on the stay. Reservations were made 6 weeks in advance, and were arrived at promptly. The party consisted of my wife, 2 daughters (10 and 12), and I. We were seated, and told whom our waiter would be. At which point our waiter and another member of the staff come from the kitchen. The waiter 'greets us', takes our drink menu, and leaves. He calls back to the other member of the staff, and says "you were right". His demeanor was cold, smug, and condescending. He was PUSHING a $185 8oz Wagyu steak like there was a prize for selling it. The menu is limited, but we made our selections outside of his "recommendations". The only bright spot in the meal was the assistant that helped our waiter throughout the meal. He was warm, engaging, funny, and all around a great human. He took his time, and asked us where we were from etc. The meal was good, but not great. The experience with the waiter aside. We ordered the chicken (2), noodles, and the up country salad. The food was fresh and flavorful, but not earth shattering. I still tipped the waiter over 20%, but I also made a point to find the assistant and tip him separately. He salvaged the meal, and should be a lead waiter!

Food The Caesar Salad had good flavor, though the dressing was a bit heavy. The croutons were excellent. The Fish Tacos Pupu were a standout happy hour deal. The fish was fresh and fried to a crispy golden brown. The Pork Sliders on the happy hour menu were also very tasty. Overall, it's a great spot to take advantage of a solid happy hour.

We had the ahi on the rock, honey lavender shrimp, and seafood laulau. Everything was delicious, and I loved that the honey lavender shrimp can be ordered either as an appetizer or an entrée. One of the cutest touches was the little shot of sugar cane juice that tied into the restaurant's name and story. I also really appreciated hearing from the staff about the cultural and historical considerations surrounding Hawaiʻi's plantation era. It added another layer to the experience beyond just having a great meal. Our server, Cass, made the evening even better. Cass was attentive, friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. Overall, an extremely positive experience from beginning to end.

Their main selling point is the fresh fish and the different ways they're prepared. You can choose between different fish options from ahi to mahi mahi to snapper. You can also choose the cooking preparation such as charbroiled, sautéed, cajun, or blackened. Then you can choose your sides. They give you a number and you find a table to sit. We got the ahi sautéed with cajun rice ($28), the mahi mahi blackened with french fries ($27), and the clam chowder ($7). I liked the sautéed flavors with the butter and garlic. I loved the flavor of the blackened char flavor, and we loved that the fries were thin. The clam chowder was standard. One of the surprising stars of our meal was their house magic sauce. It was one of the condiments table-side and we found that it was so good with everything. We drenched it in the fish and even dipped it in the fries. I thought the flavor of the blackened mahi mahi was better, but the magic sauce went better with the sautéed ahi.
