We made dinner reservations through Open Table and were seated immediately when we arrived. Everyone was very friendly and happy to be there. That positive attitude goes far and really makes the dining experience a more pleasant one. I ordered the lamb chops and split them. I'm glad we did because it was such a generous portion. For $8 more they will give you the same amount of sides per split plate. It was a good idea and then we had room for the pineapple upside down cake, which was a nice way to end our meal. Our guest had the noodles and they had a wonderful flavor and were cooked perfectly. The menu had several great options and specials for each night. The dinner at HGS was the perfect place to enjoy a nice meal out. We were visiting with family and we felt as though we were at our own kitchen table. We were well cared for and not rushed at all. I hope you enjoy your time here!

We got a pleasant seat at the window and our server brought water and menus immediately. We both ordered the mahi mahi fish tacos. Considering that these are a restaurant staple around the Island, there is plenty of competition. Additionally, the price point at Hali'imaile is, significantly, above the standard so our expectations were pretty high. The two tacos (@$27/plate) were ample and the grilled fish was flavorful and moist. The pico and lime cream were decent relishes but sounded more exotic than they actually tasted. We both thought the purple, soft tortilla shells (flour?) were doughy and unappealing. We really enjoyed the mixture of tortilla and taro chips served on the side though. Overall, the dining experience was pleasant and the service was attentive enough to warrant a good tip. I'm not sure we'd go out of our way to eat there again but if we happen to be in the area, we'd definitely give it another try.

Even when there was a table available and the previous guest decided not to show up for their reservation. We patiently waited and was finally seated. The noodle were delicious but you didn't get very much protein/veg with your noodle. The broth matched well with the noodle. The cold noodle was ok! The amount of soup was lacking and didn't cover all the noodles. The hot soba noodles were both delicious. However, I felt like it's was over priced for what you get for your meal. I would hesitate to come back when I'm in Paia after my road to Hana trip. This was recommended by a blog. Overall, I would consider it ok!

At Satori, the farm‑to‑table, veg‑forward idea means lots of rough greens, nuts, and fruit mixed into poke and handrolls that look like local favorites but taste nothing like the classics we grew up loving. We had poke bowls, a spicy handroll, and ramen, and even though we showed up genuinely hungry, my family could barely finish their food. And honestly, the food was only half the problem. The outdoor seating felt less like a laid‑back Maui spot and more like a neglected picnic table next to uncovered trash cans, with ants and other insects on the table and a swarm of flies so aggressive it was hard to relax or enjoy the meal at all. I really don't like leaving bad reviews, but in this case it feels deserved. Sorry, but we won't be coming back.

We decided to dine family style so we could try a bunch of dishes. The oysters, pork buns, lechon, roasted vegetables, and steak were so delicious. We finished off the night with the chocolate tort and cheesecake. I'm not a big dessert eater but these were amazing. I'll definitely be back again. Make a reservation on OpenTable and be ready to find street parking. It's definitely worth it.
