Despite being tucked away in the corner of a hotel, Tante's gives real local Maui vibes. The food…read morehas homecooked warmth and friendly Auntie service. We've been coming here for years and I've always enjoyed my experiences here, but last night I had a dish that compelled me to write a review. The oxtail soup which is listed as a favorite is a dish I've been eyeing for a while, but it's usually been too warm for me to crave it. But last night was the night. I'm getting over a cold and it's been raining off and on for weeks. The bowl arrived at the table with a plate underneath - smart move because it takes some work to eat oxtail soup. Armed with my fork and spoon, I went at it. The first taste floored me. It was perfectly seasoned and I could taste the fresh ginger, the broth was a beautiful brown color, there was plenty of napa cabbage and it came with a dish of a scoop of glossy steamed rice and steamed carrots, zucchini and broccoli. Our waitress offered to bring over condiments so I went for the soy sauce - sprinkled on the rice and veggies, I noticed that the veggies might have had a little sesame oil flavor on them so that made me happy. A spoonful of rice dunked into the broth with some of the tender fall of the bone oxtail meat, and a little crunch of the napa cabbage and I was in absolute heaven. I tasted my husband's pork adobo and that was equally as delicious as always. But that soup - that's what really did it for me last night and stays with me today. I walked out of Tante's with a swollen and happy belly and a fresh, tiny piece of ginger stuck between my teeth...a treat for later.

So, We picked up food to take out for a picnic ahead of our drive to Hāna. The line was very long and was disrupting traffic flow in the parking lot. The food was very good. The chicken noodle platters were hearty and delicious. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. This place is a must try if you are in Maui. Just plan and order ahead. This place is by the airport in a shopping center, not near the beach area!

I really wanted to love this place because I loved Sheldon on Top Chef…read more but...unfortunately...everything I tried was terrible. I tried teh Kau Kau Tin with pork belly and garlic noodles, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and a small mac salad. Generally, the Kau Kau Tin and the mac salad were utterly bland. The mac salad tasted of nothing. The garlic noodles in the Kau Kau tin also lacked flavor. The garlic noodle had the slightest of garlic taste. The pork belly was perfectly cooked and was the best part of the Kau Kau tin and I made sure to make each every piece of that. The Spicy Chicken sandwich was the most disappointing item I tried. The chicken patty was just a VERY FATTY piece of fried chicken. It was terrible. The texture shock alone from biting through crispy crust to gelatinous fat was shocking. But then, the chicken was not seasoned. It was a textural monstrosity that had no flavor. All in all, I'm glad I tried it. I will definitely try it again when back on the island in hopes that this was just a bad day.

Second time at Tiffany's, and somehow it was even better than the first! At this point, I think…read morethis place is becoming a required stop every time I come to the island. The food? Let's just say there wasn't a single thing on the table I regretted ordering. Everything looked amazing and tasted even better. Honestly, if calories don't count on vacation, I was doing great. Huge shout out to Joe! He kept checking on us to make sure everything was perfect. I told him to surprise me with a drink, and he came back with the Island Magic...and wow, he wasn't kidding. That drink was dangerously good. If I didn't have a flight to catch in an hour, Joe probably would've had me missing my plane! Great food, great drinks, great service, and a clean, welcoming place. What more could you ask for? Tiffany's is officially my #1 must visit spot in Maui. Do yourself a favor come hungry, order the Island Magic, and maybe don't schedule a flight right after......just in case.

Sheldon Simeon is the owner/chef of the restaurant, who also has another restaurant Tin Roof. I had…read morepretty high expectations for this restaurant and those expectations weren't quite met on some of the dishes. There is a parking lot available, and another lot across the street. Food: We ordered the honey walnut shrimp, miso butterfish, garlic furikake fries, hamachi sashimi, garlic noodles, and crispy chicken. My favorite was the hamachi sashimi. What I enjoyed about this dish was the diced maui onion that offset the citrus from the ponzu. The flavors are light, and refreshing. The most disappointing was the crispy chicken. I thought it was too salty, but that's my preference and salt tolerance. The miso butterfish was also a great dish. The fish was buttery and flavored well. Not too saucy but the perfect amount of sauce. Service: Service is friendly, like most of the restaurants on Maui. The food was served in a timely manner. The ambiance is casual and felt like a bar restaurant. Overall, I'm not sure if I would return. After ordering 6-7 dishes, I wanted to be blown away by at least 4-5 of them, but that wasn't the case. Do yourself a service and try it out at least once if you are curious!

We grabbed a table and some menus as none were brought over after a few minutes of sitting.

She returned with the glasses and took our orders, still not very friendly. I ordered the chow fun with vegetables and realized after it came I should gave just gotten the chow fun because there were hardly any noodles to be found. I gave our visit 4 stars only because of the local vibes.

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!

I've been here twice, trust me after the first time I had it I had to come back. They do serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner; but I had to do their breakfast cause I was kind of tired of McDonald's. The service was excellent, the staff gives you great suggestions if you're indecisive (that's me ‍and I have no shame about it lol). They also have excellent coffee, very smooth and make my coffee heart so happy. The overall feel of the restaurant is great! It's clean and gives off a high class diner feel. Reminds me of Anna millers on Oahu but with a fine dining feel to it with reasonable prices. So again if you're on Maui consider coming down!

It was my first time trying the chocolate cake. I spotted it in the case and immediately knew that was the one. Then the server asked, "would you like it warmed up with vanilla ice cream?" You don't need to ask me twice. That was a hands-down yes. And their tiramisu? Delicioso! But be warned, it's definitely a "pick me up." If you have a slice after 5pm, the espresso may have you up till 2am trying to solve world hunger with ChatGPT, ha ha. No dessert spread is complete without their waffle fries, either. So crispy and yummy, that salty-sweet combo never misses. Marco's is such a nice afternoon treat when you've had a rough week.

Named after a fav surf spot on Oahu, Velzyland delivers really good burgers and fries (if not The…read moreBest). No extra frills needed -- just quality meat, fresh baked buns and cheese. Really easy menu too so youre not thinking for too long. The flavors speak for themselves. We got the Velzy Burger and the Pattie Melts. Both were excellent. Cant say I could recommend one over the other as they were different. Just get both! We also got large fries to share and it was just right. It's definitely small inside. Limited seating so dont expect large tables. You can always find a spot outside or on the lawns. Better yet just pop the trunk and tailgate with your meal and good stories.

Went here in the mood for a burger…read more The staff and customer service was very friendly and polite. We let them know it was our first time and the young lady at the counter explained the specials. They share a space with a shaved ice company so inside seating is about 4 tables. Lots of outdoor tables. We had the burger on the Japanese milk bread and a double burger on their home made buns. Both were delicious, albeit a bit smaller than I anticipated for an a la cart burger for $18. Fries or tots are extra. $10 for a half and half combo. The pork and beans were absolutely amazing. Lots of pork sausage, bacon, a hot dog maybe and sweet beans. Fantastic. The bottle of coke was $5, but if you want water, you'll have to pour it into the smallest of paper cups from an igloo jug. For two people we were in it for $50. A little more than I expected for a burger lunch. Excellent flavors tho.
