Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Upcountry

Walk in and Dawn at the front desk; recognizes up (full time residents). She is such a professional..and at the same time eases those coming in with no reservations. Miriam is a quiet front desk person…such a professional. She recognizes us and our table preference. She is a quiet TB Gem. Jacob, Kali, Kim, Kate, Tim (bartender) …no words. This is our core wait staff at TB. Complement each other and work in sync. Jaden..food runner. Always on the go..great smile and acknowledges from her time at the Hostest Desk. Last recognition is to Daniel. Clears tables..quiet man who we respect. He has an incredible smile which we have been honored to experience. Daniel is just a special part of TB. Shift Managers are great. TB Wailea works like a well oiled machine. Staff is top-notch..food. None better. No matter how many years…”Howard/Richards” and his music is not doing TB any favors. Find a musician that plays quiet Hawaiian music background. This musician always play Eagles and David Bowie…not good.

It was so great being back with Star Noodle! I've been visiting them from the days up in the industrial area, to the Aloha Plate location, next door, to this location now (former Freidas spot)! The food was excellent, as always! The service is always consistently good! I love the new location! It has been transformed from the cute Mexican restaurant, to the classic Star Noodle ambiance! Always love dinning on the water during sunset, paired with Star Noodles experience made it for a perfect evening! I can't wait to go again! And again! Aloha!

Amazing farm to table food made in house. Absolutely delicious. The potstickers and lobster deviled eggs for sure for appetizer and fresh fish of the day was stunning. Maria was also fabulous in her service and attentiveness. She made great recommendations and made our experience that much better! Highly recommend

Outstanding experience. The food was delicious and well presented. The portions were plenty and the service was outstanding. The location next to the beach was awesome and seeing the sunset was special. The humas, wedge salad and chicken and ribs were fabulous. A perfect setting for a Hawaiian dinner. Long live Duke K.

Great location- beautiful views - excellent food - busy, busy! Only complaints would be 30" wait for a table AFTER confirmed reservation time. Not a great start to a Birthday celebration for my wife! Ushered to the outdoor bar for a drink while waiting for table; great views from the deck but ... why have a reservation (made 60 days ago and re-confirmed) if you're going to have to wait?? Food was delicious and while waiter was competent, we felt he was distracted by larger parties and catered to them while letting us wait. Instead of paying with a credit card, I paid cash just so we wouldn't have to wait.
