   Holy moly! This place used to be a sad poolside restaurant like Chili’s. No more! It was absolutely amazing! I’m so glad they made this a fine dining (ish) restaurant with excellent food. Meatballs and charcoal pizza were phenomenal and the grilled salad was excellent. Yes, it’s touristy Maui prices but that’s what you expect. Lori was the best waitress!!!

   We recently had the chance to dine at Olivine restaurant, and unfortunately, the experience was far from pleasant. The service was incredibly poor — I didn’t even receive a plate at first and had to track down a waitress to bring one. Shortly after, she forgot about our drinks entirely. We waited another 20 minutes for her to return, only to realize she hadn’t even passed our order along to the bartender. When the food finally arrived, it was a letdown. The “hot homemade bread” had clearly been reheated in the microwave, turning stale and firm quickly, like leftover bread from the day before. As for the rest of the food, it was mediocre at best — nothing memorable or worth the price. To top it all off, we had to search for the waitress yet again just to get our check. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and the food was vastly overpriced for what we received. Definitely not a place we’d return to.

   Service was excellent. The bread and squash blossom appetizer were excellent. However the 2 pasta dishes were overpriced for what you got. The spaghetti pomodoro was better than the cacio e pepe which tasted more like flour than anything else. Just a very disappointing meal considering the price point.

   I ordered the grilled Italian salad, which essentially - meh. The vinaigrette dressing was overwhelming. It was a little too much for the portion that was served, and it really killed the entire plate. I could have easily ordered another. However, the server "Bri" was not quite attentive, and we just wanted to get out as soon as possible. Our dissatisfaction was reflected in her tip, which was 15%. The spaghetti pomodoro was good morning, tasty and hot. As the restaurant was near the ocean, the setting sun made for a spectacular view. I hope others will have a more pleasant dining experience.

   Our first dinner was at Olivine. The staff were warm and promptly sat us to our table. The food was great and good portions for sharing — we ordered the waygu bolognese, fennel pizza, keiki pomodoro and keiki cheese pizza. The service was attentive throughout, At the end of dinner, they surprised me with a delicious ice cream with chocolate because it was my birthday. Very thoughtful. Highly recommend.

   Great food for a hotel anchor. Service was excellent. View probably nice during the day; dark at night, however.

   Would recommend a reservation time ahead of the sunset and a table on the glass railing. We'll be back - great service.

    Restaurant has Maui vibe. Chill relaxed. Staff attentive More signage needed how to find it on the property. a few dishes salty and not accurately described. Focaccia was actual a small bread loaf, not flat and airy with evoo. The meatball sauce definitely salty. Not sure if salt and too much cheese. Squash blossoms were good but didn’t care for the spicy sauce and fresh honeycomb - salty savory sweet spicy was not a good combo for this dish. The grilled salad was just a roman and few pieces of radicchio. Grilled should actually have grill marks and wilted. this was a green salad. Chicken piccata was too salty as well. Chef and staff need to sit and try each dish and adjust.
