Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Kahului

Kula Lodge has one of the best views on Maui and even though we live here, we will never tire of it. This was a destination I always made sure was on my list when I would visit Maui before we moved here We typically go for brunch so we can enjoy the garden and scenery. Native plants and flowers overflowing. Beth was our wonderful server, and she always has a warm smile and kind words for every guest. Along with other long-time server, Meghan, you’ll always be treated like ohana. The menu is diverse and delicious. There’s definitely something for everyone, and the hollandaise on the Benedict is some of the best I’ve had. (I always shamelessly ask for extra) Brunch isn’t brunch without a mimosa or two, but don’t miss the espresso martini. The flavor is unlike any I’ve ever had. I always love to chat with pizza chef Jeff who’s operating the kiawe-wood-fired pizza oven if he’s in town for the winter. Just the nicest person. I love the Kula Lodge and I will return as long as it exists.

We had a wonderful dinner last night at Matteo’s Osteria in Wailea. The hostess escorted us to a nice table. Our server quickly discussed the special dinners not on the menus. We’re not alcohol drinkers, so we ordered soft drinks. We decided on our diners the server was very cordial and helpful. Off the menu I ordered the Turkey Meatball appetizer. It was delicious and it was eaten with pleasure. Our meals came and they were excellent and well prepared. It was an excellent diner and a very enjoyable experience. This was at least our 3rd dinner here. ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️

The food was excellent, the staff friendly, professional and efficient. It was a birthday celebration and couldn’t have been happier! The server made sure to take extra special care of the birthday girl and the musician even gave her a complimentary copy of his CD and played requests for her. We have been here a few times over the past year and highly recommend it.

Fabulous as always. The food was delicious. Large dinner salads were shareable so we could save room for dessert which is not to be missed! Service was impeccable—both our table server, beverage refill Wed, table clearers, and a manager check-in. We came after sunset, so didn’t get the view this time which is spectacular. The outdoor lanai area was quieter than the main room and delightful.

Awesome food and beer even the Swiss “Schnapps” was a delight.
