We have eaten at Ka’Ana Kitchen many times over the years, but this was our first experience doing the Chef’s Table. The two of us had a seat right at the end of the main counter where we had clear views of the Grill Chef, who blew us away with his organization & preparations, & we had a birds-eye view of the finishing counter where we sat overlooking every dish that came out of the various stations - plus, we caught a head-on sunset. The entire staff catered to us & many in the Chef’s circle engaged with us - it was super fun! AND the FOOD was GREAT!!

Whenever we are on island, we make it a point to eat here. My husband always orders the Rouladin and I enjoy trying something different every time. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is nice, and Brigit and the other lady helping are always very friendly.

About the restaurant
At Marlow we specialize in artisan style, neapolitan sourdough pizza, as well as locally sourced meats and vegetables. Our menu, space, and offerings change seasonally. We aim to bring you modern yet rustic meals to be shared. Chef/Owner Jeff Scheer and wife Kaili, have always loved to entertain at their home in Kula. The concept for the restaurant is an extension of that warm hospitality felt while sharing good food and wine around a table of family and friends. When the restaurant industry shut down in March of 2020, the pair began making sourdough pizza out of their outdoor oven at home. Milling whole wheat berries from a farm in Arizona, hand stretching mozzarella, whole-animal butchery, growing artichokes and summer squash for toppings - it was a true labor of love. What began as a ritual has grown into a restaurant. We look forward to seeing you at Marlow soon.
