Staff snobbishly turned us away and lied about their reservations, even though we could see multiple tables open throughout the establishment that never got filled up. read more

Reservation system is apparently not real, we were turned away. Waste of a trip so be warned and don't waste your time :/.

Tried this fairly new spot - excellent food service and ambiance - close attention to detail - very gracious staff - creative menu - highly recommend read more

Koast - Steak and mushrooms - Seafood Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Koast restaurant in Wailea, Maui was flipping amazing! The ambience was stunning and the food surpassed it (great creativity and even better execution)! Not just the best restaurant that we've been to in 10 years on Maui, but one of the most memorable dining experiences I can recall (including the likes of NorCal, SoCal, Paris, London, Barcelona and Florence) read more

The absolute best meal we had in Maui!!! Service was top tier, food was on another level!!! Cannot wait to come back!!!!!

spent a week in Maui with fam. We ate everywhere and this was the best food and drink I had while one the island. well done.

Excellent service staff, very attentive to details and friendly. Used plates are taken away thru out, replaced with new immediately. The decor is amazing here, inside and out. The outdoor ocean view to die for while dining. Large menu that our server described in detail, appetizers, salads, the side dishes s d especially the Fresh Fish special and Tomahawk for two was delicious, served hot and fresh. Pricey but what is expected in Wailea. Definitely returning here. read more

Yum! The vibe is fun and chill. Dress up or down. Always lots of good specials--and I LOVE the Caesar, it's unique in the best way! Lovely staff as well. read more

The overall experience was mixed. The food was good, but the waiter and receptionist were not very good. First, they tried to put us at a table facing the parking lot. There were numerous tables at the window, but they decided to put us in the back by the parking lot. Second, our waiter was not very good. He seemed like he had better things to do, and that he was too good for this job. I order a glass of wine, and it had turned bad. I sent it back and he was confrontational and put out. Third, it was my birthday and they did nothing. Lastly, I live right down the street from this place and have been here half a dozen times. It's always mixed ad I'll just go to the nicer restaurants that treat you better. read more

One of My FAVORITE meals i Have ever had in My Life‼ The Food Taste so ʻono (Good) it is like a party in Your mouth! Mahalo and Hoʻomaikaʻi (congrats) To the sweet owners!! Will be back. It's only been seven days and I can't wait in back going back today read more

Right off the bat, if you are reading this, trust me, this is the place you want to eat today, without a doubt. Absolutely one of the best meals that I have ever had, hands down. The service was exceptional, every member of the staff is warm and welcoming, and obviously cares about your experience. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful location with an incredible view of the surrounding coastline, and the decor and ambiance enhance the feeling of being somewhere that cares about the details. This is a restaurant review, so you probably want to hear about the food: the food at Koast is exceptional in every possible measure, from the unique treatment of local ingredients, to the flawless technical execution on the preparation, to the combination of different flavors coming together to become something that you've never thought of before, but you absolutely cannot wait to take your next bite. I don't often take the time to write reviews for restaurants, but Koast did such an amazing job going above and beyond to make this a truly memorable dining experience, I wanted to encourage you to treat yourself to an incredible dining experience. A sampling of the food we enjoyed included clam fritters which were perfectly fried, and exceptionally light, a sashimi served with an avocado cream and bone marrow, served on the bone itself, which was such a complex variety of flavors and textures, it was like nothing I have ever eaten. The hangar steak with lilikoi au poivre was seasoned and cooked to perfection, and balanced nicely with the sauteed garlic and spinach, a dish that I would absolutely recommend over any famous steakhouse. The seared ahi was also cooked with care, and delivered incredible flavor along side the well thought out sides. The accompanying photo shows our dessert, which was such a hit that our entire table was left speechless. A tart lilikoi curd, coconut ice cream, and a torched tropical meringue inside of a frozen pineapple, with the flesh of the pineapple warmed in the plate with a light caramel sauce. You have hot and cold, sweet and tart, creamy and chewy all playing together to finish off your remarkable meal in a remarkable fashion. My hat is off to everyone at Koast who is obviously putting in the incredible hard work to deliver a meal that I will be dreaming about for a very long time. read more

Amazing restaurant and amazing service. The food is fantastic and so are the views, the vibes and the energy. This place is so much better than the resort restaurants like Duo, Nobu or Morimoto. If you want a great 5-star dining experience then this is your spot! read more

We come every year for a month to Maui. Generally hit all the hot spot restaurants. This was by far the best meal we had this visit. Lovely table with a water view. Outstanding service. We ordered the calamari and the whole fish entree. Delicious and the fish was cooked to perfection. Wonderful experience. read more

Wow! This place is a gem. Welcome to Wailea Koast. We needed you here. Get a reservation before it becomes one of those places that you need to reserve months in advance. Priced appropriately for their offerings. Food and service were both exceptional. They have options for kids too which is always a bonus for families and parents who want to enjoy something delicious and need to bring their kids along. Can't wait to go back! read more

What a gem! Koast is a new restaurant and I am so glad we came for dinner. The interior is modern and open and has neutral views of the sunset. Having dined at all the top resorts in Wailea--Four Seasons, Kea Lani, and Grand Wailea--we can confidently say that Koast is the best restaurant in the area by a wide margin. The food is so tasty and a better value than any of the hotel restaurants in Wailea. The management is next level too. They made sure we had an amazing experience. The menu is interesting and fun. This is a restaurant that we can go to every day of the week. Thanks again Dave! read more

Alicia crushed it with amazing service and hospitality, but her drinks stole the show! Her volcanic foam on the spicy margarita is something I will come back for again and again. The food was exceptional in flavor as well as presentation, something that can only be experienced in house and only a fool would miss the amazing view by asking for it togo. read more

The food was amazing. We started with the tomato and watermelon salad. We shared the fresh catch opakapaka and the sweet potato entrees along with the bbq carrots. It was all excellent in terms of spices, preparation and presentation. The desert was out of this world. We shared the chocolate cake which was enough for four people so we ended up taking half of it home and having it the next day. Our server Dave was knowledgeable about the food preparation and extremely accommodating with all of our requests. He was able to serve the oil on the side if our salad and leave the yogurt off of the sweet potato. Overall I think this is one of the top restaurants in Maui and we will be returning next week for another excellent dinner. My only criticism is that the restaurant is a little bit difficult to locate since there is no signage that is visible from the parking lot. It is a relatively new space and the restaurant has only been open since January 2025. But it is definitely worth hunting for. read more

I love Koast!!! The food is always so amazing, very unique and a must when in Maui. Everything is made locally and from scratch, perfect for a happy hour or a date night dinner. read more

It was our first time at this new restaurant, and we celebrated a special occasion. The food and ambiance are phenomenal. Their front check-in ladies are excellent and friendly. However, the server that we had was suck! We ordered fish and a small portion of beef, and he kept saying, "That's a lot of food." The fish was big when we received the food, but their "Koast Steak- hanger steak" was a small portion. We didn't feel good when he commented that our order was a lot. We hesitated to order extra steak because my kids didn't want to share, but I ordered anyway. Again, he said," It's a lot of food." We left the restaurant questioning whether we could order as much food, but we felt there was a limit. I felt sad because we celebrated our anniversary there, and we were dismayed with the service we received. The food was terrific, but the service needs improvement. read more

Went here on our visit to Maui. We were looking for something with local fish and produce , but not local flavors if that makes sense. DON'T GET ME WRONG, WE LOVE HAWAIIAN FOOD, but needed to mix it up. We loved the menu options so went in to give it a try. So glad we did. Service was amazing, our server was so knowledgeable and explained each dish to a tee. We got the grilled collar as a starter and the crab ravioli (special of the day). The collar was excellent, delicate, with fried dried chilies and peppercorn. The ravioli was out of this world. The crab, wrapped inside a perfectly al dente pasta was topped with a luxurious lobster and brown butter sauce. For the entree, we shared the local line caught special. Dry aged Opakapaka with macadamia nuts and agrodulce. The fish, baked in the oven on high heat leaving the outside charred but the inside lightly cooked and so amazing. Sautéed mustard greens, golden raisins and capers for a salty acidity. Fantastic. Finished off with the Spanish basque cheesecake with a pistachio brittle(my fav) and strawberry sauce. Writing this review because we are still talking about the food, it was that good. Will go back before trips end. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

What can I say? When you want to go out to a fine dining and you don't want to spend all your money looking at a hotel, come to koast. This place is amazing in every aspect. From the friendly host to the wonderful wait staff And the extremely talented kitchen staff. This place is a must-see when you're in Maui. No matter what side of the island on koast is a destination restaurant that is showcasing local fresh ingredients with a modern twist. The flavor combinations are amazing and I haven't had a bad dish yet. The wine list and cocktails are very imaginative and delicious and I can think of no place. I'd rather dine than koast. Thanks to Dave for the wonderful food recommendations and for accommodating our large guest list on her past visit. We will continue to bring our family and friends here whether we want a celebration, dinner, birthday anniversary or just want to have a good meal. I love this place. Keep up the great work! read more

Fantastic food & service. Felt like a great deal price-wise, especially compared to the other pricey but basic resort restaurants.

Ambiance is pretty good, restaurant is way over priced and highly focused on upselling food and wine. I ordered the fish special at $65 - it was very salty and quite small. We also ordered the octopus which was okay. No bread. Would not return read more

From the beginning with our salad to the fish entree and corn and broccolini to the pineapple dessert this was a top 10 meal in my life. Went to Mama's as well which was outstanding but the meal I had here was another level. Must try if you're in Maui. read more

This is a new Wailea restaurant in Wailea Village. I think it's been open about three weeks. We loved it and have eaten there twice. To date they don't have a liquor license so it's BYOB. With four we had a whole fish. Opah. Another time we had Surf and Turf. Both were simply outstanding. Service was outstanding. A beautiful young woman from South America. read more
