We came into this restaurant at the Westin in Maui pretty late--about an hour before closing--and…read morethe place was very quiet. We were seated quickly, which was appreciated after a long day. It did take a little while for our server to initially come over and acknowledge us, but once they did, the service was excellent. They were engaging, helpful, and made us feel very welcome despite the late hour. For food, two of us ordered the chicken and waffles and the other two had the shrimp curry. Both dishes were really good. The chicken and waffles were especially memorable--very good with a unique preparation that made it stand out from the typical version. The shrimp curry was also flavorful and well done. We paired everything with a local beer from Maui Brewing Company, which was a great choice and tasted fantastic. Overall, a very solid experience: good food, friendly service once things got going, and a relaxed late-night vibe. Definitely worth stopping in if you're staying at the Westin or nearby.

We order a coffee and a pog Mimosa. We were waiting for our food for a while abs our drinks. We had to tell the guy our waiter about the drinks he said he forgot..HEY! THAT'S OKAY. No problem. We got our food before the drinks. I ordered white toast abs a side order of bacon. The toast looked like it wasn't toasted! I was bummed i was looking forward to a nice breakfast. I don't like breakfast so that's why I chose toast and bacon. We'll be back if we ever stay at the Westin Nanea again.

Service is also okay, the wait staff is nice but a bit scattered. The food here is a bit disappointing and expensive for what's being served. The banana bread french toast sounded amazing but was a very small portion for $20, and to add bananas + macadamia nuts to pancakes cost an extra $3 each. Coffee was also watery and not good :( I ordered the chocolate smoothie bowl, which was good but the smoothie to topping ratio was a bit unbalanced. The disclaimer for an extra 20% added to the bills of international travelers was also a bit odd to me, saying this as someone that's from the states.

They often have live music, you're so close to the ocean you can hear the waves crash, at night the tiki torches surround the venue and add beautiful charm. The staff is very attentive. Without me even asking, they slightly repositioned my table and chair so that I had an unobstructed view of the sunset..... talk about attention to detail! Now for the food... I've tried multiple things at the restaurant and they've all been very good. Tonight I had the fish tacos and they were excellent! Significantly better than what I've had in Whalers Village and much cheaper. This place is a hidden gem! The restaurant is located inside Kaanapali Shores resort. Parking is very easy. The best part though is how close you are to the ocean. It's really lovely! I highly recommend giving this place a try!

I feel bad giving this place such a low rating because the staff at the grill seemed genuinely…read morenice, and the food was pretty good. It was a bit pricey, but that's fairly typical for Maui. What brought the rating down for me was the service. My wife and I waited about 8-9 minutes before receiving menus, and eventually I got up and grabbed them myself. After that, we got our drinks, and the food came out relatively quickly, which was appreciated. The view of the ocean is beautiful, and the food was enjoyable. However, throughout the meal I felt like I had to take the initiative for almost everything. I had to ask for napkins and silverware, and after waiting 15-20 minutes at the end of our meal, I finally had to ask for the check as well. Overall, it's not a bad place if you're in a pinch, and the location is great. However, in Maui I expected a higher level of service. Unfortunately, it felt like my wife and I were largely overlooked by the waitstaff.

We went here for the sunset and cliff dive performance. The sunset, as always in Maui, was fantastic. The dive performance was a bit lackluster, if not obviously (cringingly so) commercialized. We stayed just as long as we had to, as the birds there were more than pests... I'd not want to eat there for that reason, and I'd just as soon grab a 6pk and head to the beach for a better view and less birds.

Their lunch options sounded great too. Definitely worth a visit when driving through the area!

The drive to the restaurant along curvy roads and tall, shady trees was enchanting. I'd heard the views from the restaurant were spectacular, and the unique outdoor canvas-covered "gazebos" added to its charm. Our party of four chose to eat under one of the outdoor gazebos. We ordered four morning cocktails: a Bloody Mary, $12, 2 Maui Mosas, $18, and a Kona Longboard, $9. Our entrees were the Upcountry Quiche, $27, Roasted Kabocha Squash, $28, Mochiko Chicken & Waffles, $30, and the Garlic Prawn Pizza, $30. While we waited for our food, we took the time to wander the beautiful botanical garden grounds and pathways. When our food did arrive, there was only one glitch. Instead of the Garlic Prawn Pizza, we received a different shrimp entree, which looked fantastic...but it wasn't what we ordered. They apologized and went to prepare the pizza. The food was delicious, and portions were big, so we definitely had leftovers. Overall, I am so glad we finally made it to Kula Lodge. Unfortunately, just 3 weeks after our visit, Kula Lodge suffered from a restaurant fire. I am absolutely positive they will re-open again. In the meantime, come support their Kula Marketplace, which is a wonderful gift shop, adjacent to the restaurant, and untouched by the fire. They need your support!!! I will definitely return!

The concept is great: a cluster of food trucks offering a variety of cuisines. And yes, if you're someone who's feeling a bit fatigued from island food, this could be a spot where you'll find more familiar, everyday options. That said, the overall experience was underwhelming. When you're in a place like Maui, you expect bold, fresh, and memorable flavors--but this felt more like food you'd find back home on a regular day, without anything particularly special to justify going out of your way. As a food lover, I always look for places that give you a sense of the destination through their food--and this just didn't deliver that for me. With so many incredible local restaurants and authentic island spots around, I'd definitely recommend prioritizing those instead. Overall, this is a place you can skip--you're better off exploring Maui's local food scene for a much more memorable experience.
