This place is an absolutely gorgeous setting on the water. The service was exceedingly exceptional. We had a delayed flight and were late to our reservation, but they held a table for us for my husband’s birthday, and they made it extra special with a complimentary toast and dessert. The food was so fresh and delicious; we had the Hummus and quesadilla to start, and the daily ocean special (red snapper) and the macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi. Everything from the view, the music, the service, the mai tai, and the food, was PERFECT!

Outstanding meal - probably the best food on Maui. Had the Upcountry Salad (so fresh!), fish of the day (Kampachi in a beautiful truffle sauce), lobster pasta (OMG), and the bread pudding for dessert. Would order the exact same but also try the chicken next time.
