    O'o Farms delivered a truly, unique and interactive experience with their Farm Tour and Farm to…read moreTable Lunch. I took my parents for their 44th Anniversary and we all love outdoorsy activities so I knew we'd all enjoy this! We were asked to arrive at 10:30 am for the tour and it lasted until 1-1:30 pm. Arrive with good walking shoes, SPF, light sweater and hat (it can get either a little chilly or hot from the direct sunlight), and well hydrated if possible. We were greeted by our friendly and knowledgeable tourguide, Kate from Maryland! She shared with us so many facts about the locally grown produce from herbs, vegetables, fruits, to the friendly worms, to compost and facts about the Farm and the hardworking staff! It was interactive because we got to sniff the herbs, taste the locally grown lettuce, carry a chicken (as seen in the photo with my mom), and even pick the Cherry coffee! After the 2 hour tour, the last hour takes you back to this beautiful seating area in a garden like setting for your 4 course lunch! Each course, the chef comes out and shares details of each course. First course was a Medley of Greens grown on the farm with Tangerine vinaigrette. It was a generous portion for our party of 3 and tried to eat it throughout. There was spiraled carrots and radish with julienned snap peas. Second course was Pan Seared Ono (their proteins are all locally sourced) with Mamaki Tea and Lemongrass Rice with Bok Choy, Collared Greens and Cabbage. Third course was my favorite! I'm usually a big fan of fish but the chicken was so savory and that rub was delish! It was an Organic, Cage Free Chicken with Coffee Cherry Citrus rub with Caramelized Coffee Honey Hash of Carrots, Parsnips, Rutabaga and Celery Root. The spread was a Turmeric and Parsnip puree. Last course of dessert was the O'o Freshly Brewed Coffee with Milk and Simple Syrup with a Dessert Platter of Fresh sliced Pineapple, Tangerine and Apple with Homemade Chocolate Truffles. The meal left us full and nourished! What a wonderful anniversary gift to give my parents. We truly enjoyed it and even made some new friends, both local and visiting.

    The best meal that I had in Maui! Everything was fresh and I loved knowing exactly where our food…read morecame from. My son enjoyed the mahi mahi tremendously, which for a kiddo who only eats chicken normally, is a huge compliment! I thought the tour was very informative and interactive as well. Our guide Molly let us pick, smell, and explore a lot of the plants they have growing on the grounds. She also very nicely picked a tangerine for my son because he really wanted one. Overall, worthwhile experience, despite the long drive from Lahaina. I would do this again, whether it is the brunch + coffee tour or the lunch tour!

    Came here as part of our tour after going to the Haleakala National Park for sunrise…read more It was a preset breakfast among a few options so husband and I ended up choosing Toast with purple sweet potatoes, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs. Honestlt those sweet potatoes took me by surprise! really lovely flavor there. Even the bacon and sausage were yummy. Fresh juice that they served was really delicious. It was a blend of three different juices (I don't remember which exactly they were) but quite nice. They also had a nice store there with local coffee and food and produce and what not. Husband and I got some fresh pineapple and also a salad for later in the day which came in handy! Overall also a beautiful place to walk around! So peaceful and scenic with birds around too.

    I hate to leave this review, because I do have many positive things to say, but the issues we…read moreencountered force me to give it 2 stars. The positives: the grounds have a lot to offer, between ziplining, shopping, and food! We ate at the restaurant and the food was clean and tasty, plus the views are lovely! The issues: upon being seated, a server accidentally dropped the water tray all over us, shattering glassware and drenching us. This in itself is not the issue, as clearly it was an accident. Our issue came with how the management handled it. The server was apologetic and then was not seen again; we were worried he got fired! Other than the initial apology, no concessions were offered, even after we discovered my husband had a bit of glass in his arm. Management never came out to address what had happened and when we asked to speak to manager, he mentioned he had heard water was spilled on a customer. You'd think he would check in on us or maybe comp something small, like the dessert we ordered. Ultimately the customer service is the reason I would not eat here again.
