From the younger generation to the older aunties and uncles, the vibe feels so welcoming and cool. Located in one of Maui's older neighborhoods, this spot is also a great excuse to venture out and explore the charm of the town. It feels authentic and full of character. I ordered the garlic fried shrimp Caesar salad and it was amazing. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with a crispy, flavorful coating, and every bite had the perfect crunch from the fresh lettuce and fried shrimp together. The zesty dressing was drizzled just right, making every bite balanced and delicious. Definitely a memorable meal!

Imagine finding excellent German/Swiss cuisine on Maui?…read moreBrigit & Bernard's Garden Cafe is just that place. Tucked in a quiet industrial area of Kahului, it is an oasis of delectable treats. The outside lanai is so comfortable and covered from the elements. We have gone there for years, and have always been warmly greeted by the owners. Tonight was no exception when we joined some good friends. The sausage appetizer is superb with your choice of pork or veal bratwursts served with red cabbage and tasty mustard. The Schweinsfilet (Hunter's cutlet) with its flavorful mushroom sauce was delicious. I always get the Wienerschnitzel which is huge, pan fried to perfect crispness yet tender and juicy inside. I ordered extra mushroom sauce to enhance the flavor. For sides, we love the red cabbage, sauerkraut, au gratin potato and spaetzle. Their beer and wine selection goes so well with their dishes. I've had their tasty strudel for dessert in the past. We look forward to dining again for dinner or lunch. Ausgezeichnet!

My husband and I both happened to off on random Monday and decided to visit for lunch. Arrived shortly after opening and not too crowded. We got to sit outside on a nice day breezy day with lots of shade from the trees. I ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu with potatoes au gratin and veggies and the husband got the carbonara with chicken and bread. We washed everything down with an iced tea and a beer. The portion sizes were heberous and the food was fresh, warm and filling. The flavors were amazing and we savored each bite. Really had a leisurely meal. Didn't get a chance to make it back for Oktoberfest, but will happily dine here again to try their other dishes.

This review is for the Pa'ina Cafe which is on the campus of the University of Hawaii Maui College…read moreand is part of the Maui Culinary Academy program. You don't have to be a student to eat here. ATMOSPHERE: This is the cafeteria of the school so don't expect any restaurant cues. The main cafeteria is on the first floor. It's bright and airy with communal tables of all sizes, with big windows for great outdoor views. The kitchen is divided into stations boasting specific names and cuisines. You order direct and pay for everything at the cashier line. Utensils, napkins, and condiments are last. I've been here a few times and it's never overly crowded. STATIONS (SEASONAL:) Farm To Table - Sandwiches. World Plate - Entrees. Paniolo Grill - Entrees. Raw Fish Camp - Sushi. Name comes from an old section of town on Maui. Campus Cafe - Burgers & quesadillas. Patisserie - Cookies & scones. Ramen X - Ramen! Yes!! FOOD: French Dip - O M G. This has to be THE best sandwich I have ever eaten! The meat was super soft and loaded with flavor. The cheese and horseradish (yuck, I'm so not a fan but could handle it in this sandwich) was gooey goodness. The bread which could've been toasted a bit more was fresh & soft. And the au jus - wow, this was super salty deliciousness! Came with a side of either pasta salad, which I had and tasted okay, or a green salad. Got some sour cream & onion chips which went perfect with it. Cheeseburger - Pretty good taste. They use Big Island cattle for the hamburger. Came with crinkle cut fries in a light seasoned salt. Penne Alfredo - Penne pasta, grilled chicken, and bits of zucchini, asparagus, onions, and mushrooms in an alfredo sauce. The flavor was a bit mild but still enjoyable. House Special Ramen - The broth had a nice shoyu based flavor and not overly salty. The noodles were fresh and cooked perfect. Toppings included bean sprouts, char siu, a poached egg, bacon (odd,) a big square of nori seaweed, fishcake, spinach, green onions and bamboo shoots. Pretty good portion size for $9.50. Edo Ya Special - Available in shoyu, shio, or tonkotsu broths. I chose the latter because no one that I know of makes this on Maui. The broth is smooth and creamy, the noodles are homemade and soft. It was drizzled with a chili oil for added flavor and topped with a soft boiled egg, spinach, bamboo, char siu, green onions, and nori. The char siu was the only disappointment of the dish as it had zero flavor and was too lean and tough with no fat - better for your health but not great as a topping. The portion was just right. SERVICE: The majority of the staff working in the kitchen are students. Some very eager, some timid but generally good service. OVERALL: Great food, great prices and good sized portions = a definite return! TIP: Hours are Monday - Friday 11am to 2pm, but a word of caution, sometimes one or more of the food stations may be closed due to unforeseen events schedules, class time, presentations, or even a lack of enrollment.

Guava Tree Bar & Grill had amazing local-style food at reasonable prices and pleasant service. I can see this place becoming a solid, local establishment like Tiffanyʻs or Marcoʻs. Folks, this place should be party of the ʻServing Maui for 30 yearsʻ club! I was here for a private event. The place is cute. Small, charming and loads of potential. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Alrhough their wine selection was limited and a bit uneven (Sutter Home but then a J. Lohr for chardonnay), their ginger ale selection was delicious! The food was incredible! Tender, fall apart pork slices, covered with savory, brown gravy; crisp, yet juicy, chicken katsu with a bite of ginger; toothsome chopped steak, tender mushrooms and flavorful pepper slices. Perfectly cooked rice. Yummmmmmm. The mac salad is better than many, but lacked a little tang. Overall, the food was so good that I looked up their hours. Iʻd definitely return.

The waitress said I wasn't her only upset guest. She suggested a modified Ciopino but I noticed a new seafood item: MAKAI For Two that included a Lobster tail, fresh fish fillet, shrimp, scallops for $56. I was celebrating so I wasn't going to have an UNhappy birthday so I ordered it and was NOT disappointed. The portions were pretty big, barely enough for two people but enough for 1 large appetite. The 4oz. Ahi was seared, the medium sized lobster tail, 5 scallops, and 3 large shrimp were all grilled and came with a butter/sage dip. Excellent sides included saffron rice and fresh asparagus! The restaurant wasn't too busy and was quiet enough to talk, pleasant as usual. The service was good, the waitress pleasant and the food arrived promptly. The champagne complimented the meal. Although initially saddened by the menu change, I was pleasantly surprised with something new that was very good. Had a satisfying meal for my bday. Enjoy Foodies!

I was bum they were out of acai bowl the morning I wanted breakfast. I settled for their banana bread french toast and avocado toast. Both items were missing something and not quite right. The avocado toast was not toasted, it was just bread. The banana bread french toast was mostly bread and not french toast. You get what I mean? They do serve Starbucks coffee so that was a savior. At dinner I had the chicken pot pie and the brussels sprouts. The top layer of the pot pie was burnt and so was most of the brussels sprouts.
