We had the absolute best time at Monkeypod in Wailea. Our food was delicious. We had the iconic Mai Tai’s, lobster deviled eggs, the Saimin, and Bulgogi Pork Tacos. Everything came quickly and was phenomenal. Our server DJ was personable and gave wonderful recommendations. We will definitely stop by again before we head back home!

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.

Family out for midweek dinner. Sat outside on patio, comfortable breeze, attractive setting with barrier to parking lot. We chose the grilled chicken mole diner and burrito dinner. Both excellent. There mole sauce is outstanding and the chicken tender and tasty. Beers on tap with chilled mugs. Waitstaff very attentive.
