Best Hawaii Regional Cuisine Restaurants in Upcountry

One of our fave spots over the years .. very accommodating for special diet requests (GF) & the food was outstanding!! Coconut shrimp & the hula pie are a must .. Magical sunsets that never disappoint & a great guitarist to entertain .. Mahalo for another wonderful Maui memory!

If you’re looking for outdoor seating in a friendly atmosphere and a setting to beat the band, look no further than Maui Ocean Vodka. From the wide array of tropical drinks, made with their own smooth brand of gluten free vodka, as well as other spirits, to delectable appetizers and main offerings, loved by both carnivores and herbivores alike, as well as delicious gluten free pizza, there’s something to tickle the taste buds of just about everyone. Most evenings offer talented local musicians to add to the ambience. Reservations aren’t necessary, but are recommended.

Love the ambiance, (we could have sat there all day) the live music and food! We went for a late lunch and had tacos and saiman. My daughter loved the tacos.. Korean bbq (?), definitely some spice there, the saiman was not what I expected however my bias should not deter anyone from trying it! The texture of the noodles was lovely, I just wasn’t sure about the broth- not quite pho and not quite ramen, the herb mixture had me confused. We definitely highly recommend the sorbet ♥️. Yum. Our waiter James was amazing, super attentive and friendly, made the lunch even better! Thank you!

Service was amazing. My waiter, Randall gave me honest recommendations that turned out to be spot on. He took pics for me too! The view and ambiance were delightful, especially seeing the sunset over the ocean. The food was delicious! Eating here was an amazing experience. There was a couple dining at the next table who came from the Four Seasons and commented that it was the best meal they’d had all week. I recommend dining here if you’re in the area.

Wonderful old building with a delicious menu and nice beverages on offer. Our waiter, Joe, was exceptional as were the rest of the staff. Well worth it and a perfect spot to eat prior to our red-eye flight back to North America!
