Wow Wee Maui Kava Bar & Grill

Reviewed By brez00

Great lunch right after getting off airplane. Easily accessible Dairy Rd location.We loved the sushi roll special with tempura fried jalapeno slices. Scrumptious! Hubs loved his seafood stuffed fish. Great service at the bar. It's not a huge place, but they serve great food with good service. Simple and straightforward...not pricey or pretentious. Would stop here any time!

Da Shrimp Hale

Reviewed By travlingmama

Excellent choice in between a drug store and grocery store – several restaurants are tucked in between. It is casual and unusual in the presentation of some dishes. There are one or two beef choices, but lots on the seafood side………..We choose shrimp which arrived in a bag. You choose how you want it prepared and what sauces to put in. Be warned! They come with shells on, including the head. My husband, who doesn’t like to work for his food cleaned a couple and then I took over. Gloves and bib are provided. It’s BYOB so it makes it doubly affordable. Appetizer and two lbs of shrimp came to $40. The calamari was good and came with French fries, which seemed unusual but perhaps it's ordered as a main instead of appetizer more often.

We made reservations for this restaurant before we even arrived in Maui. Reading the reviews really made us want to try Mill House. The surroundings are beautiful and the restaurant is very nice inside with a large patio. We were seated inside along the back wall. Half of the seating was a banquette and very uncomfortable. I started out there but couldn't imagine sitting there for more than a short period, so swapped to a chair. That was also uncomfortable and cramped with the person sitting next to you. We ordered cocktails the Hi Life was one. I really didn't care for it, but I usually drink wine. For starters we had the Pate, Roasted Vegetables and Bone Marrow. The Pate was tasty, but the vegetables were awful. Extremely small portion and just a blob of swiss chard and broccolini. It was not seasoned well and looked extremely unappetizing on the plate. Our companion was disappointed with the portion size of the marrow.We had fish and ribeye for our entrees. The fish was overdone and not a lot of flavor. The ribeye was tasty. When we first sat down and the waiter discovered it was our wedding anniversary he offered us a complimentary dessert, which unfortunately never was served so can't comment on dessert. At that time we had been siting for an extremely long time and I was most uncomfortable so I left the table to sit in a more comfortable chain in the reception area.While the food wasn't really bad, it was just mediocre to us. I doubt we will ever try this restaurant again.We sincerely apologize the server neglected to follow through with your complimentary dessert, as we strive to make all celebrations extra special. Coupled with the inconsistencies in your meal and uncomfortable seating arrangements, we apologize for having fallen short of your expectations. Thank you for your detailed review, as it allows us to correct our mistakes and make improvements!

Reviewed By DS9MW

Our server was friendly and very efficient. Food was hot, tasty and priced well. Everything is pretty much in portion control, you pay extra for more items, example, one egg, one sausage, one slice of bread cut into two slices for the French toast, etc. Coffee was decent, not hot, but flavor was good and not burnt. Informing the staff you have a departing flight, they are very accommodating, we were able to eat breakfast casually and get out to return our car and get through security and still had 30 min to spare. Next time we visit Maui, we will dine here again. Out of our entire trip, this is one of the few restaurants that made the cut.

We had seen this place on a best breakfast places in Maui. It was great. It is a hole in the wall diner - does not look that nice from the outside or inside but great food and even better value. Got their banana hotcake (pancakes) and they were amazing. They are big, I ordered it and a side of eggs since I thought it wouldn't be enough. I barley finished the pancakes, but had to because they are amazing.Hi, we really appreciate your feedback and such kind words! We're looking forward to serving you again.

We are locals. It's definitely where the locals go. Typically we sit at the bar because we adore the staff there...Betsy, Ani, Alvin and others. They make ono licious Thai Lettuce Wraps, pork and beef burger is da bomb, all sandwiches w/fries...my sis gets chicken wings or their pizza. Portions are large; you won't go hungry. More than 30 mounted TV played a variety of sports venues. It can be loud if crowded. Air conditioned so great on a hot day which we usually have. Clean, parking, and well established.

This was an awesome place to stop at. My family of four had a great meal. The service was excellent. The price was decent. The only thing to note is that the restrooms are in an adjoining building and you must use a key. The key is first come, first served. It hangs in the wall by the door. Cool, creative menu.

Tante's Island Cuisine

Reviewed By robertdX4400QY

This great local and Filipino style restaurant serves up some good breakfast and lunch dishes and a decent price. They serve up classic breakfast offerings, local favorites, as well as some classic Filipino fares.The food was all prepared fresh and from time of order to serving came at a good speed. Everything was nicely plated and the coffee kept pouring. It was well staffed, so attentive service was of no issue. The grab a menu and self seating made for a quicker dinning experience and very desirable while on vacation and just wanting to get in and out for our site seeing on the island after we ate.Enjoyed 3 mornings of different dishes each day. Some unique dishes that we enjoyed were the Shrimp and Ahi Fried Poke Eggs Benedict which were basically a eggs benedict with a side of fried poke which was very good. I really enjoyed the Luau Omelette with the kalua pork filling and a side of lomi lomi salmon which I put on top of the omelette like salsa. One tip I have is pass on the country potatoes and ask for a fruit cup substitute. It balanced things out much better. If you want to try the Filipino dishes, don't worry, they are not weird and very tasty. The Longanisa Fried Rice with eggs on top was great and the a couple others that are different, but not all that strange, so take a change and enjoy the different flavors.However, if you need to play it safe, the Crabcake & Avocado Eggs Benedict and the Salmon Bagel Sandwich are good as well. They also offer the traditional griddle items as well such as pancakes.All the staff are very friendly and attentive. It isn't fine dinning, but a good restaurant that beats Denny's any day. This was our second experience at this restaurant after 5 years from our last vacation in Maui and it has held up which is nice to see as a lot small independent restaurants don't last over time.I do recommend this place and look forward to eating there again when ever we return to Maui next.

It was 4pm on a quiet Saturday afternoon. We were seated promptly by a nice hostess then...nothing. Other than my boyfriend and I, there were two singles and another two-top in the entire restaurant! I, unfortunately, am not able to rate anything other than the complete lack of service. Needless to say, we left at 4:15pm in search of an establishment that would, at the very least, take our order.

Reviewed By parisryan

What a fabulous dining experience. Jeremy’s food is as refined, creative and delicious as any we have ever eaten. We loved the setting and Paulina’s knowledge of food and service is perfect! Their attention to details and flavors are impeccable and we really appreciated their connection and explanation of sourcing and preparation. We discovered a new food, the Kiwi Berry from Oregon which was delicious and new it was served on a sampler plate Amuse Bouche that also had raw honey mixed with Chinese spicy mustard that was really interesting and good. I caught my wife wiping the last of the chocolate sauce from desert with her finger, which rarely happens. This was one of our favorite meals ever and we will be back for sure next time we are in Maui.
