Best Fun Restaurants in Upcountry

We had the best time tonight, can’t stop shaking my head in awe. From the beginning, being greeted, with the floor to ceiling drapes opening, showing us to our table. The beautiful sofas, chairs, artwork were impressive. Then our experience truly began with our hands washed in warm water, being given Moroccan kaftan and fez to dress into (which our friends, boyfriend and I gladly got into!) to the delicious, affordable 6-course meal and the outstanding belly dancer just made our evening to remember. We felt like we were in another country! Tonight is my boyfriend’s birthday and we are so glad that we went to Le Bazaar! We would and we will go there again. Everyone has to go! Cannot say enough great things about our evening! Thank you for the impressive service and memorable evening!

Unfussy restaurant next to the retail shops and market. Don’t let the look fool you - the flavors and service are excellent. We were grateful that the server explained the most efficient way to order. Family style ordering - pick a protein and a few sides. Where we landed: - we ordered the poke bowl appetizer. More bites of flavor, less poke bowl. Flavors are like tiny explosions, and the texture is divine. Could’ve eaten four more, easily. - crab cakes. Four small delicious cakes crafted from scallops and shrimp with a dusting of some delicious and easily-tolerated spice. Again, Lineage nails not only flavors but masters of texture. - broccolini. Well presented plate. Delicious. - Szechuan noodles. Flavor. Texture. Generous portion. Give it a toss before you dive in. My mouth is still watering. This will absolutely be a regular spot when we return to Maui. They are a farm to fork restaurant with fresh, intentional flavors with a nod to their farm partners. New favorite spot.

If you’re looking for outdoor seating in a friendly atmosphere and a setting to beat the band, look no further than Maui Ocean Vodka. From the wide array of tropical drinks, made with their own smooth brand of gluten free vodka, as well as other spirits, to delectable appetizers and main offerings, loved by both carnivores and herbivores alike, as well as delicious gluten free pizza, there’s something to tickle the taste buds of just about everyone. Most evenings offer talented local musicians to add to the ambience. Reservations aren’t necessary, but are recommended.

Service was amazing. My waiter, Randall gave me honest recommendations that turned out to be spot on. He took pics for me too! The view and ambiance were delightful, especially seeing the sunset over the ocean. The food was delicious! Eating here was an amazing experience. There was a couple dining at the next table who came from the Four Seasons and commented that it was the best meal they’d had all week. I recommend dining here if you’re in the area.

Loves every minute of our visit to MonkeyPod. Seated immediately on the side patio. Jess greeted us and brought us 3 Mai tais and a whiskey sour - delicious! Then we shared a Gem Salad and a Brocli Salad - both delicious but the Brocli was so unique we all agreed it was the best. Fish Tacos, Fish and Chops and Macademia Nut encrusted Mahi Mahi we all excellent but my Rib Eye was over the top. Cooked to perfection. We had a bottle of Tempranillo which paired well with everything and topped it all off with Banana Cream pie. Would recommend the entire meal all over again. Jess was an excellent waitress!
