For many years, the Kula Lodge has been a favorite for both visitors and Kama'aina alike for delicious cuisine and breathtaking views of Maui. Perched high on the slopes of Haleakala with a 180 degree view of Maui, the Kula Lodge and Restaurant is a comfortable and homey place to relax, especially on your way down from the sunrise or sunset at the crater. It is situated on 4 lovely acres and not only has a stunning botanical garden, it has the only full-service bar and live music in Kula. It's also the only place upcountry with dancing (on Friday and Saturday nights)!The restaurant seats up to 160 guests, making it ideal for weddings and special events. The Kula Lodge outdoor Garden Terrace features a brick wood-burning pizza oven and an open view of south, central and the Maui mountains. The sunset views are absolutely phenomenal! Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5-7 have live entertainment; Friday & Saturday evenings from 5-8pm have live entertainment AND dancing!

Food was great, super personalized experience. Belly dancer performance isn’t truly that, mostly a 2-3 min dance.

D.J. was OUTSTANDING in his Customer Service ‼️So accommodating and kind. Very knowledgeable about the menu and what is offered. We will be back because of his aloha spirit and sweet attitude towards us Tutu’s❣️Also, Shea is terrific too‼️ PLEASE go back to offering the Squash Ravioli the new one is not at all flavorful and doesn’t NOT compare and the Pot Stickers are okay but not as good as the ones before. The Deviled Eggs, New Shrimp 🍤 Appetizer, Fish n Chips, Lamb, etc…are wonderful! If you could make a Day After Pork Belly Ramen as you do at your other Merriman Restaurant that would be great‼️ Mahalo Nui Loa for an enjoyable mealtime and beautiful music 🎶. Suszi🌺

Amazing experience! Excellent service. The waitstaff are all so kind and helpful. They gave us a notice that they were very busy, which was nice to give us a heads up. We thought food and drinks came out at a reasonable pace. It was windy for lunch service so we went under their private event area. Management and multiple team members checked in on us. We had a great time! The Wild Mushroom Farmbread and the Burger was a table favorite. My partner loved their Kula Tai, I had a Flight 4051 with their FY gin and it was so delicious. Will be returning!
