    Always a wonderful experience! Had a lovely backroad drive to get there. We’ve been there with local friends over the years, but we enjoyed being there on our own too! The Caesar salad was great and I enjoyed the Kauai shrimp pasta. My husband went with the pork chop — delicious as usual. But the finale of pineapple upside down cake with ice cream is what brings us back!! Pleasant atmosphere and good service. Fun people watching too.

    Thank you for sharing your delightful experience! We're so glad you enjoyed the scenic drive, delicious dishes, and pleasant atmosphere. It’s wonderful to hear that the Caesar salad, Kauai shrimp pasta, and pork chop hit the spot, and we couldn’t agree more—the pineapple upside-down cake with ice cream is truly a standout! We appreciate your continued visits and look forward to welcoming you back for more great food and fun moments. 🌺🍍 Mahalo!

    Hali’imaile General Store is our first stop once we arrive in Maui. Wendy our server was delightful! I requested the fish sandwich which isn’t on the menu anymore (it should be!) and Wendy was able to serve it. They no longer serve the macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi either. It’s my husbands favorite. Please bring it back as well. Overall, wonderful lunch!
    Haliimaile General StoreResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your experience! We're honored to be your first stop when you arrive on Maui. It's fantastic to hear that Wendy made your visit delightful and went above and beyond to accommodate your request for the fish sandwich. Your feedback about the macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi is greatly appreciated—we'll share it with the team! We look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful meal. 🌺🐟 Mahalo!

    We had a wonderful dinner last night. Starting with cocktails that were excellent, crab cake appetizers and salads and main dishes were all great. Their Coconut curry was so good and big portions so I took the rest home for lunch. Everyone else had either Monchpng or Ahi and were all happy with what they ordered. The new general manager dropped by to introduce herself so that was a plus. We were too full for dessert but the offerings were great.
    Haliimaile General StoreResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your wonderful dining experience! It sounds like an exceptional evening with excellent cocktails, delicious crab cakes, and flavorful main dishes. The Coconut Curry is a standout, and we're glad you got to enjoy it again for lunch! It’s also lovely to hear that the new general manager stopped by to connect—such a nice touch. We hope you’ll save room for dessert next time! 🍹🍴😊 Mahalo!
