Best Casual Restaurants in Upcountry

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.

Amazing experience. Great service and unique variety of food choices. Will definitely be back.

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.

Super experience as usual. Excellent food, creative menu. Service also excellent. Wine list could be better.

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!
