    The food was awful. From a lazy buffet display to poor taste and quality. Nothing like their regular menu. What a disappointing Christmas dinner.

    Our best food experience on Maui. Lovely comfortable atmosphere, great service and delicious food! We had the crab pizza, Caesar salad and pork buns for appetizers to share and all were awesome and came out in a flash. Then the special fish of the day(manjang?), curry(panang style with fish and big prawns annd yummy vegetables) and the bbq ribs. Everybody loved their dish and we shared bites because it was so tasty. Wine was good and reasonable. The Banana cheesecake and vanilla ice cream were great. Service was fast and friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant.
