We went to Twin Falls and then dinner here. Our waiter was so nice with our large group. Food was just okay, given the price and expectations. But we’re finding that most restaurants on Maui are pricey.

Terrible. Took 45 minutes to get seated from a reservation. They put us in some corner away from any ambience. Waitress took another 15 to come to table. Drinks came 15 after. Appetizer arrived with main meals. Food was bland & over priced. They charged $23 for a tiny piece of fish to go on a $18 salad. This is a complete skip for anyone even considering it. We’ve come for 20 years & it’s progressively gotten worse. Never coming back or recommending!

The food was awful. From a lazy buffet display to poor taste and quality. Nothing like their regular menu. What a disappointing Christmas dinner.
