    Came to Maui on a trip and visited here with my mom, and it ended up being one of our favorite dining experiences. The view was absolutely stunning, overlooking the golf course! We arrived right around sunset, and honestly wished we had come a little earlier to fully take it in. Such a gorgeous setting. The service was amazing. Our server was incredibly kind and kept offering us more bread (which I happily accepted because it was that good). The bread came with chive butter that was so flavorful, and the bread itself was warm and delicious. There was also live music, which made the ambience even better--just an all-around beautiful place to relax and enjoy a meal. Bonus points for free valet, which made parking super easy. For food, we got the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi, which was really good, slightly on the sweeter side, but still flavorful. The Hawaiian short ribs were a standout for me: super tender, perfectly cooked, and just packed with flavor. We also ordered the panko crusted calamari, which I loved. The pieces were thick, juicy, and had a light, crispy coating that wasn't greasy at all, really easy to eat. Portions were also very decent. I also saw their breakfast menu and now I definitely want to come back to try it soon!

    Caesar Salad!

    The Plantation House was spectacular! Located in Kapalua, Hawaii, this popular restaurant is known for its island-inspired cuisine, stunning ocean and golf course views, and upscale, yet casual atmosphere! My wife booked us a table for weekend brunch! I love a hearty breakfast, so I ordered the portuguese sausage, bacon and cheddar omelette! Omg, fire!!! My wife ordered the chicken wings with extra cilantro sauce- AMAZING! The chicken was super tender and delicious! My daughters ordered the caesar salad with protein, and an egg scrambled with a side of portuguese sausage- because why the hell not?! It's that delish! Drinks were on point and refreshing! Service was absolutely superb! Our waiter was super friendly and chatty (it's that Aloha spirit). But the real highlight of our dining experience were the spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and Plantation golf course. What a view! Totally worth it!

    Came here on a local recommendation fro brunch...we came mid-week...although not the buffet tha my son would have wanted, I was pleasantly surprised at the very good food! I don't often go for French toast when dining out...but that was my choice...and I chose well! Some of the best I've ever had...my son had the bananas foster pancakes...whipped cream not ice cream for these...he seemed to enjoy them very much...he has a big appetite (6'5" & 250-ish) and didn't finish these...not my thing so I didn't try them...very happy...and yes, great staff/service and terrific views! There are two ultimate questions...would you go back and would you recommend this...both answers would be a resounding YES!!

    Our food was awesome and the drinks were great! The dining area is open and airy with lots of rainbows over the golf course. Our waiter was super friendly and accommodating!

    Celebrated my birthday here and the service was fantastic! Our server was very helpful and helped us navigate the menu. I tried the two fish special and although I wasn't fan of the noodles that came with it, the fish was delicious and the sauce on the mixed veggies was one of the best I've ever had. The birthday desserts were also delicious! It was a chocolate bomb along with a chocolate cupcake in a glass with cream. I recommend eating them together if available on the menu (I don't know what they're called because we didn't order it, they just presented it to us since we were celebrating). We came for a second time for brunch and the crab cake benedict was just okay. Regardless, it's always such a beautiful and relaxing time here.

    The view from our table.

    T view was amazing even though it's not directly on the ocean the rolling green hills with the ocean in the background is beautiful. Our waitress was funny and very honest about the wait times and what was good on the menu. I had the catch of the day which was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. I would definitely go back even just for the views. A side note would be they sever bread and butter before for those curious.

    Fish tacos
    Susan S.

    Incredible setting and Kapalua located on a golf course. Fish tacos or so perfect season perfectly there's three in an order with chips, cilantro, fresh tomatoes. Great breakfast menu at lunch menu with something for everybody. Incredible views of the Mountains and ocean! Incredible setting. I have been coming for many years and I recommend this restaurant highly. It will not disappoint. .

    Mark K.

    Absolutely amazing! The food is incredible and the views are even better, overlooking The Plantation golf course. You literally can't find a better place to view a Maui sunset. Just stunning! We had the local fish specials and they were really good as well as the chocolate bomb dessert. Highly recommend this place for a more formal dinner night (kids are totally fine finding something as well). And if you get a chance to golf The Plantation, do it!

    Veggie Omelette
    Peter N.

    The Plantation House is a must-visit! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible views -- lush green fairways rolling into endless ocean horizons. It's easily one of the most beautiful dining settings in Maui. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, delivering top-notch service with genuine aloha. The food matched the scenery in every way. The Loco Moco was rich and flavorful, the veggie omelette was perfectly cooked and fresh, and the Kula greens salad was crisp, vibrant, and beautifully dressed. Everything tasted high quality and made with care. A perfect combination of amazing food, exceptional service, and unforgettable views -- The Plantation House truly captures the spirit of Maui dining at its best! The Plantation House is a must-visit!

    Pineapple Upside Down Cake
    Ryan M.

    We went to the plantation house for dinner. It was a dark drive up there and couldn't see much of the green views, but that's OK since it was at night. The bread was surprisingly good. It was soft on the inside and nicely toasted on the outside. We ordered the lobster ravioli, and braised short rib plate. The lobster ravioli was really good. Whatever sauce they had on there complemented the dish really nicely. The breed short plate was good. The meat was tender and soft and the sauce on it was sweet almost like a teriyaki for dessert. We had the upside down pineapple cake that came with coconut ice cream. Definitely give that a try that was a good pick. Our waitee was really nice and attentive, and these places really make effort to make your dining experience a memorable one .

    Even though we had an unfortunate birthday experience here in Jan 24 we decided to give it another go and this time it was excellent. Hubby was celebrating another year older and we love the food here so we booked online and were seated at a front row table for 2 with an outstanding view of the golf course and Molokai. We arrived at 12.30pm with breakfast and lunch being served simultaneously so I plumped for my fave crab cake benny and Hubbs chose the chimichurri steak and wedge. We drank Pain in the Coconut (a fruity concoction of orange and pineapple juice, bitters and rum) and a non alcoholic version of it too. Both were sublime on a warm sunny day looking at the blue, blue ocean. Hubby's sweet tooth was delighted by the pineapple upside down pud served a la mode, and the chocolate bomb which was served with creme anglaise was delish! Even I ate a spoon or two and I normally don't like dessert as it is too sweet Hubby received a birthday card from the staff and Melissa M was fantastic, attentive and chatty, and excellent at keeping us topped up with drinks and bringing everything we needed. We didn't even realise it was her first day until we tried to pay with a gift voucher and she asked another server to show her how to process it. They also showed us how to sign up for a special offer using a QR that we can use at Plantation House and Castaways in Kaanapali which gave us $10 off our meal! The lady with the cute pink hair at the entrance desk made sure we got a great table for 2 too. All in all we had a fantastic birthday lunch, food was fantastic, and we enjoyed every bite and every minute. Mahalo to Melissa and the other staff who went out of their way to make Hubby's special day one to remember :)

    I have been dining here for years, this is my first visit in 7 years! The views are still amazing. The service was impeccable throughout our visit. We had the best table sitting at the window for the three of us. We had a couple of food glitches from the kitchen but they were so gracious and took amazing care of us. The food is pretty good. This visit we had the veggie omelet plate and steak and wedge salad plate. Plenty of food, brought leftovers home too and they were fantastic reheated! It's a beautiful experience here and I will always return!

    To say that we were disappointed is an understatement. I made a reservation at The Plantation House right after I made the reservation to go to Maui. I made it for the date of my husband's birthday. The week before we flew in, I received a phone call saying that they needed to close the restaurant for 2 days to fix something. I do understand that these types of things happen and need to be addressed. We were able to reschedule for a few days later, I mentioned the celebration of my husband's birthday and was told that they would have a grand celebration for him. That didn't happen. When we walked into the restaurant, the maitre'd mentioned that when it was time for dessert, that they would take care of us. We were given a choice of tables and chose one with a magnificent view. We ordered wine and reviewed the menu. Since my husband is a big fan of escargot, he ordered that as a starter. It was very good and the typical service for the dish. I ordered the Kula Farms Greens. We normally split a salad. Although the salad with the papaya seed dressing was very good, it was certainly not big enough for 2 people to split. As an entree, I ordered the Seafood Chow Fun. It was mostly the char siu pork with 2 scallops and 2 shrimp. I did not detect any crab in the dish, although it is in the description of the dish. It was very good and I did enjoy it. My husband ordered the Brown Sugar Togarashi Seared Ahi. He did enjoy this dish. We were asked if we wanted dessert and because we were celebrating, we ordered the sorbet to share. The promises that were made about our trip to the Plantation house were promises unkept. I expected to have a candle or something to indicate that it was a special occasion. I don't understand why the maitre'd said anything about taking care of us at dessert time. The service was very good. The scenery was amazing. The respect for rescheduling our visit and the celebration of a special occasion was severely lacking. We have been to Maui many times for my husband's birthday and The Plantation House always took care of us. For us, it is not a special place any longer.

I made a reservation but wanted to get there way early to walk around and grab a cocktail before we sat down. What a great location overlooking the beach and a small bay. The staff was friendly, helpful and very accommodating and because we were way early for our reservation they gave us the option of sitting at the bar and dining. What a fabulous idea because the view was incredible, with open air surrounding the bar. Victor our server and the bartender was very friendly and took great care of us. We were able to enjoy our meal and take in another spectacular Maui sunset from where we sat. Cocktails were their own spin on some regulars and very refreshing. The Sashimi was so fresh it could literally melt in your mouth, wedge salad was Perfect to share and very good. The onion soup had a unique flavor and I wasn't sure if it was the local Maui onions that gave it that uniqueness but it was delicious. My entree was incredible, I am pretty sure this was the first time I have had Monchong fish, but it was so moist and flaky and then to put a pesto crusting on it just made it "Ono" served on a bed of risotto. Crazy good-well done Chef you knocked this one out of the park. Coconut shrimp was cooked perfectly and made with the larger count shrimp, served with the perfect Chili Tai sauce. We really wanted to dine at a place that had that old school charm, and we found it here at Sea House. Live Hawaiian style music in the background by a solo artist completed our dining experience. A "fantabulous" evening done with class set in a beautiful natural theatre. Bravissimo Sea House you made the evening special. When on the Kaanapali coast and you want that classic dining experience this is your place, BUT make a reservation.

    Best meal in Maui by far!…read more Tonight we experienced the most incredible dinner since we have been in Maui. Our amazing server Nick recommended we get the whole fish; he said to trust him as it is cooked over a charcoal oven. Well, Nick was right... we have had cooked fish from all over the world and nothing was as exceptional in flavor and size as this fish! It came with two sides; we ordered the mashed potatoes and corn and let me just say the corn was phenomenal and award winning! We topped our meal with the banana cream pie and it blew us away! Also, the cocktail menu and wine menu is exceptional. We started with the Ua Kapalua (jalapeño cucumber tequila) and it's better than any drink at any Los Angeles hot spot. The wine we ordered after was a Spanish wine that paired perfect with our meal. Coming back on this trip and asking for Nick as our server again! 5 star service and 5 star food

My entree was the ahi tuna slightly seared. This restaurant is one of the only places I know that can cook an ahi tuna right. Other places we've been too tends to overcook it. Hula grill got it right. It was delicious. My husband got the Mac nut fish, and he said it was ok. He said it needed a better beurre Blanc sauce. Maybe with some citrus. It lacked flavor. But the best thing here was the kids menu. When we went they had a $20 petite filet with mash potatoes. It was perfectly cooked. My 2 year old ate ALL 4oz of the filet! It was that good. I tried a little piece and hot damn, what a deal. The best kids menu deal when they have it available! Get it. It was our anniversary, so the server gave us a celebratory hula pie. So good. It's nice they recognize your celebratory moment too!
