I would have come to Monkeypod every day of this vacation if I could have. The food and drinks are all such high quality and the service was amazing! Our favorites were the chicken wings, fish and chips, and the Monkeypod Mai Tai (the virgin Mai Tai was also great). Will definitely return our next time in Maui!

Always a lovely experience at The Plantation House! My husband and I had a delicious brunch the morning after Christmas. The dining room overlooks the golf course and ocean with beautiful views and quiet ambiance. The food and service are always top-notch. It was fun to see them setting up the course for the Sentry PGA Tour starting on January 2nd. Treat yourself for a special or regular occasion. You won’t be disappointed!

What needs to be said about Monkeypod - everyone knows it’s the best. Incredible food, unbeatable vibe and top notch service. We went for Christmas Eve - made our reservation a week prior. It was packed, but they got us seated just a few minutes after our reservation time. I had the Ahi tuna steak - still dreaming about the jalapeño mashed potatoes. My husband had the macadamia nut crusted mahi and we both had the legendary Mai Tai’s. There was live music, which was so fun - especially for our 2-year old who loves to dance. 10/10 - couldn’t have had a better experience.
