Food: Had their Taco Tuesday dinner menu. Highlights were their Parker rolls with miso butter, tako taco, and birria tacos. Sommelier Chuck Furuya, was walking around talking to tables and provided our party with a wine offering that we really enjoyed. Their axis deer pasta comes with trofie pasta, a very short twisted noodle that was a hit or miss with our group.

We danced until we sadly had to take our ride back to the 4Seasons Lanai at 9:00. We heard the party went on for hours and eventually back to someone's house. The food was to die for. Local venison sausage in a bed of perfectly cooked polenta with a rim of sautéed roasted peppers. Then can you believe hanger steak cooked perfectly medium rare towards rare. Butter basted and sliced against the grain. Great red wine from the souther Rhone valley in France. One of those total experiences we will always remember. This is the way the world should be but alas no way. Thank you Lanai.

We sat inside though bc we had four in our party. Only twofers were seated outside. Definitely healthy and not large portions so you don't feel gross after stuffing your face. Service was lovely and solicitous albeit the food takes a while. Breakfast has healthy options. The hub had oatmeal and I had avo toast. I don't wanna be basic but it was a sensei recommended healthy choice. And it was different from the usual avocado toast. Had beets and radishes and egg whites. Lunch I had the mushroom soup which was really flavorful and mushroom forward. Also had the broccolini which was fine. It was a late lunch and so I ate light but honestly I was hungry an hour later. The hub had ahi donburi which was good but had only three tbsp of rice. Definitely healthy Dinner was excellent. Fish is prepared well both the catch of the day and salmon. But no side dishes come with so gotta order separately. MIL got the mushroom tobanyaki which was delicious but it's a lotta mushrooms so make sure you LOVE mushrooms if you're gonna get this. And order a side of rice to eat with it. The hamachi app was fine pretty much exactly what you expect. The shiitake salad was excellent. Green beans and cauliflower sides fine. Got mushrooms too. Guess we love mushrooms. The best was the dessert - some kind of melon balls and semifreddo balls and rice tuile. Super light and refreshing and delicious! Overall a really nice restaurant visually full of light, great service and healthy thoughtfully prepared foods.

The setting is of course lovely and the service was very solicitous as befitting a resort…read more Ultimately though a restaurant comes down to the door and the food was average. Had kale salad and smoked salmon flatbread for apps. Was fine. Had fish tacos as my main - a bit bland. The hub had catch of the day which was fine. His fried rice was good for a couple bites but heavy on the sesame oil. The best was the chocolate ganache cake - the pics don't do it justice. It was rich and delicious but prolly can't eat more than 3 bites bc so rich. I'd say overall fine but don't need to go back.

I'm pretty sure I was there when the Yelper Melanie C was there with I'm assuming her other half…read moreand their daughter. Melanie was waiting outside and sent her daughter and other half to pick up their drinks when finished. The little girl said thank you and the worker smiled at her. I overheard Melanie ask her daughter if the worker said "you're welcome" to which the daughter responded no. Melanie could be heard saying "some people are just awkward." Then I heard Melanie ask her other half "What's the name of this place?" I already knew she was going to write a negative review. Just a rude customer trying to find something to complain about. Service for me was good. The drinks did take a while to make, but the worker apologized for the wait and thanked me. To the yelper Melanie, learn some patience and have some grace.

They're located inside the Donquijote Food Court and have ample seating inside as well as outside. I went with the Wagyu burger, fries, and tossed salad, and all three were very tasty. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the fries were salty and crispy on the outside, and the tossed salad was light and the dressing paired perfectly with it. One thing to keep in mind: they make everything fresh to order, so the wait can be a little longer than your typical quick-service spot. I actually think the freshness is worth the extra time, but it's something to be aware of if you're in a hurry. Also tried the Apple Mint Mojito, which was delicious--light, refreshing, and a great complement to the burger. One tip: If you prefer your burger more well-done, definitely let them know when you order. The burger can come out on the rarer/juicier side, so communicate your preferred doneness upfront. Overall, a tasty meal with quality ingredients and a nice made-to-order feel. 5/5 stars and I'd definitely come back.

My fiancé had a mixed green salad with goat cheese, bacon bits , and house vinaigrette. Excellent. I had a fresh Ono fish sandwich with homemade kimchi on the side and an order of sweet potato fries. Started off with a beer from their rather extensive list. Oceanfront restaurants are notoriously expensive and not tasty. In this case, we had ambience, a view, excellent service and delicious food. We intend to return before we go home next week.

We tried the banana cream pie and Olawalu lime pie (not pictured) to-go on two separate instances. The banana cream pie is fantastic. I'm usually not one for bananas or pies, but the delicate flavor of the banana and airy cream won me over. The lime pie was a little less outstanding. The lime flavor was delicate, but the texture of the filling was neither airy nor custard-y enough. The restaurant is cozy and inviting, and I'm sure you could take in the vibe if dining in. Even if not dining in, definitely do try at least once during your trip to Maui.

TIKI DAVE and family loves TIN ROOF MAUI!…read more While our cruise ship was in port, we stopped in after I did some serious research to settle upom Tin Roof and boy were we glad! Holy smokes, that Mochicko Chicken [Hawaiian-style fried chicken made by marinating bite-sized chicken pieces in a sweet and savory soy-garlic batter featuring mochiko (sweet rice flour) before deep-frying] is the bomb! Super crispy bits, amazing flavor, served over garlic noodles...man alive, if you are in Maui and don't grab takeout here, you may as well not go to Maui. It is takeout only and my wife didn't want fried food so she ordered something from the Mexican joint across the parking lot. Since she ordered food there, we figured it'd be ok to eat our heavenly chicken dishes there....NOPE; we were asked to leave. BOO. So we finished, well, the kids finished on the way to nearby Kanaha Beach Park and I finished mine there under the airport and within sight of our ship. It really is a lovely beach.

Luckily I was able to order a third on the spot! Oh, also, I did preorder, but if I hadn't... I suppose another con would be that the line would have been crazy long!
