This is a charming and well-run neighborhood bistrobin Maui's Up Country in Kula (about 40 minutes…read moresouthwest of the Kahalui airport, off of State Route 37). The food is excellent, and they serve HUGE portions at prices that aren't "cheap", but are fair for what you get! Even the Kula Salad was huge, colorful and delicious, with locally sourced vegetables that are so fresh, it tastes like they were just picked! One of the many great desserts was a POG Tropical cake, with not only the classic POG juice flavors, but coconut and whipped cream, to book! The place was hopping (and also includes a popular outdoor patio), but service was fairly good, attentive and efficient! We would return in a heartbeat if we got up to that area again! And the view on the drive there is breathtakingly beautiful!

We had a great night at Marlow in Upcountry Maui--this place is absolutely worth the drive…read more First tip: bring a jacket or sweater. It's cool up there, and it adds to the cozy, Upcountry vibe. Marlow is a lively spot with an open kitchen that makes the whole experience feel energetic and welcoming. Definitely make a reservation. We ran into a delay getting up the hill due to a downed utility pole and messaged through the OpenTable app. Eden, who was hosting that night (and we later learned also serves), immediately called us, walked us through the menu, and even got our order started so we wouldn't hold up service. She was incredibly knowledgeable and set the tone for the evening with genuine hospitality. At the bar, Jesse, our bartender, took great care of us. From the drink menu, he made an excellent Black Cherry Manhattan with Burning Chair bourbon, Cocchi di Torino, cherry, and Angostura bitters--smooth, balanced, and delivered tableside. We also enjoyed a bottle of Gamay wine, which paired beautifully with the food and rounded out the meal. For dinner: * Mafaldine Bolognese (Lopes Farm beef, gremolata, parm - dinner only) was rich and comforting. My wife loved it. * Steak Tagliata (horseradish crème fraîche, herb verde - dinner only) was cooked perfectly and full of flavor--my dad cleaned his plate. * I had the Funghi white pie with local mushrooms, mozzarella, garlic confit, and parmigiano, and it was outstanding--earthy, balanced, and satisfying. Dessert capped things off nicely, and by the end of the night we were happily full. A special shoutout to Kira, our server--kind, fun, and professional. It was neat finding out she's also a Maui High grad, from a different generation, but with that same local pride and warmth that makes dining in Hawaiʻi special. Big mahalo to the kitchen crew--you can feel the care and teamwork in every dish. Payment was easy using Toast, which we appreciated. All around, Marlow delivers thoughtful food, great cocktails, and genuine hospitality. It's wonderful to have a fun, lively, open-kitchen restaurant in Upcountry Maui. We'll absolutely be back.

Makawao, HI. I really liked this restaurant . We were…read moreseated without a reservation and the place was very busy. All the staff ladies were exceptionally friendly and helpful. This was about 6:00 pm for dinner. The vibe is casual but trendy. A buzz of activity was going on. Everything we tried was just bursting with flavors! We started out with the meatballs which were as good as grandma's, who made the best, of course. I would categorize them as "Memorable Meatballs". The sauce that came with them (2 of them) was perfect in every way. The chopped salad was large enough for three people and was fresh and delicious. The dressing was a great complimentary addition to the greens. The braised pork pizza was over the top good. Just the right amount of char on a sourdough crust and a sauce that was just full of flavor. The Lilikoi butter provided a bright spot on the tomato palate. This I believe, helps make this pizza unique. The prawns were large and you get six. They tasted great , soaked in chimichurri . They would be perfect with just a little less salt and a bit more garlic. Mushrooms in crème fraiche, just outstanding. Note that the emphasis is on the sauce, not the mushrooms. For dessert was the gelato with fennel pollen, honey, olive oil, and sea salt. This is an absolute must to try, it's divine. The Panna cotta is rich and silky, nicely done. There is a decorative crumble on top that adds a little crunch and gives the dish a good presentation. There are some sweet floral notes in the custard, most likely cardamom. The ginger fizz drink is very good with a nice ginger kick without tasting like ginger ale. A well constructed mocktail. The vibe in the morning is about a 180 degree turn about. There is no table service, not busy enough. Order at the counter. The cheerful night time ladies have been replaced by a solitary glum teen who is not happy and maybe don't even like the people she has to deal with in the morning. She is efficient though. Nevertheless, the quiche was great. Great flavor, great crust, interesting top glaze that was different from any I've seen. The latte featured the same topping of fennel pollen, etc. that was on the gelato last night. Pretty amazing version of a latte. My suggestion, to make it perfect, is to order it with an extra shot in a large ceramic cup. The bathroom here is clean and I never encountered a line.

We went in the market, and the sweet woman working told us about it, but said the food truck was really good. We went over to the food truck. The staff there was very warm and welcoming as well.

The coffee was nice and hot for the cool morning as well. The grounds were very peaceful and had beautiful views. Everyone's food that was coming out looked and smelled amazing. Their lunch options sounded great too. Definitely worth a visit when driving through the area!

Everyone raved about their food (burgers, salad, fish sandwich, chicken, ribs). My wife had the Huli Huli Chicken plate and I had the Combo plate (Huli Huli Chicket with Ribs) and the food was amazing. The chicken was perfect, probably the best chicken we have had on the island. The ribs were so tender that the meat just fell off the bone. While the restaurant had a fire several months ago, the food truck served us perfectly and we sat at the big wooden circular tables under the oversized canvas umbrellas. I will be coming back here again.

I love how Hawaii Sea Spirits has expanded their operation with the opening of Cafe at the Point!…read moreCasual, open-air dining with stellar views? Don't mind if I do! The cafe can be found beyond their distillery in the large grassy lawn area. This space open, pretty expansive, and features bicoastal ocean views which makes it perfect for watching the sunset if you time your visit right. There are a number of chairs spread out over the lawn and some covered and uncovered picnic tables. We came here during the late afternoon and were able to find seats right away. They offer a food and cocktail menu that incorporates locally sourced ingredients, including organic vegetables and herbs from their garden. They have salads, poke, farmbreads (pizza), sandwiches, desserts, and more! Their signature cocktails are made with with their very own Ocean Vodka, Kula Rum, Fy Gin, and Brum spirits. They have waiters walking around to take your order, but can get busy if there's a lot of guests. You can also head into the little building overlooking the lawn and put in your order at the register, which is what we opted to do. There was a long line and it took quite a bit to order so I think the workflow could be more efficient, but the staff were friendly. We sipped on our cocktails while we waited for our farmbread and enjoyed the views while listening to the live music which is available daily starting at 4:30 pm. We ordered the Tree Pua'a and Uncle's Favorite farmbreads and both were delicious! My favorite was the Tree Pua'a and the dough to topping ratio was just right. They make their doughs in-house daily and you can upgrade to a cauliflower crust as a gluten free option. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit here and look forward to coming again the future. It's a short drive from town and makes for a great place to bring out of town guests and I love that it's not surrounded by homes or buildings and feels quite secluded and serene.

Also, the waiter asked if we wanted bread but didn't let us know there was a charge for that as well. Minor, but they should mention it. We sat in the bar area on a high top and it was fine.
