   Our favourite spot for a special occasion. Can’t go wrong with the sunset experience booking, best views, I like the option to ensure a good table for an important occasion. Service is always very good but this time it was about 20 min until our waiter came over. After that everything was perfect service wise, really great, but that was not a great way to start. I assume it was a timing issue. It was not acknowledged, Food has changed quite dramatically and not for the better, this chef seems to be heavy handed with cinnamon and sugar unfortunately.The prawns are like a dessert they were so so overly sweet. As were other components in the dishes. macadamia nut Mahi Mahi is off the menu which is truly a shame. It was a classic for a reason. Would go back for the views and ambiance but used to go for the amazing food! Wish it was still both.

   when we first walked in, I was worried it would be a little bit hokey, but it turned out to be a great night and everything was amazing!

   Lovely setting, nice service, but crazy expensive and for those prices they should know how to not overcook steak and fish.

   This restaurant is just not what it used to be. I miss the fish that are swimming around the outside and the food could’ve been a touch better. Overall, it was good, but just not as I remembered

   Had an unbeatable sunset view. The service from Larry and Volt was top notch. We loved the macadamia prawns— a perfect combo of sweet and spicy. The Pacific Snapper was also quite good. The coconut ceviche was a disappointing and surprising fail for such a vaunted restaurant — no flavor. Perhaps we’re spoiled coming from fabulous restaurants in NYC but the food didn’t measure up to the prices. Would go back but not for the food, perhaps better to sit at the bar.

   It was amazing 👏 the filet and hawaiian sweet potato mashed was so good. The bread with lilikoi butter was yummy and the farmers salad was so fresh, it tasted like it was just picked from the ground! The server was exceptional. Diane was so wonderful ❤️

   Very expensive. Beautiful location. Great MaiTai. Uncomfortable seating. To low and low backs.

   This was a magical place in terms of ambiance and setting. The prices were out of control though. I would probably skip this next time in Maui and go somewhere else less outrageously priced. Or maybe swing by for happy hour instead.
