    Staycation at Wailea Beach Resort. Excellent friendly service as always by Carlos, with support from Malani. Quality local produce in the tasty Kula greens salad with a crunch of almonds, granola, honey. Beef gyoza were yummy. Loved the surf/turf combo on the Prix Fixe: salmon and short rib. The best mashed potato! Baby vegetables cooked al dente. And of course, classic Roy's hot chocolate souffle with vanilla ice cream (we've been enjoying this dessert for 30 years). A great evening with a great service and kitchen team! Mahalo!

    We had an amazing dinner last night at Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. Our server Jonathan was very attentive and made some great drink suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed our venison and ahi carpaccio appetizers. Our main meals included the catch of the day, snapper and filet- all very good. Finished our meal with the delightful mud pie and espresso martinis. Wonderful meal and we were very happy with our entire experience.
