To say our entire group was disappointed by our Lunch at the Hali'imaile General Store is a great understatement. We went with a friend who had been there several times in the past, and it was excellent. This time, however, the food was mediocre at...best, stingy in portions, but expensive in price. My fish tacos were bland, with very little fish and even less slaw. They seemed to have a shortage on tortilla chips, as there were around 6 on the plate, and a very small portion of sauce to accompany both the scant number of chips and the bland tacos. My husband fared worse. He ordered the Caesar salad, which was also bland, and made the mistake of ordering a blackened fish for the top. I would estimate the total size of this $18 addition was no more than 3 oz of rather over-cooked, dry fish. The only dish that was decent was the pulled pork sandwich. Additionally, I would highly recommend not ordering the Tai Mai. I love Mai Tais, and was advised that their version of that classic was superb. It wasn't. I left most of it behind. I don't know what white pieces were floating throughout the drink, but I really don't like chewing my cocktails. I support the restaurant's mission of local foods, but I would advise them to look at the quality of the food, as well as the portion sizes. I don't need an overwhelming amount, and appreciate that too large a portion leads to a) over eating and b) waste. But what was served overall was not acceptable for what we paid. We don't plan on returning in the future. We'll head down to Mama's Fish House, which was exceptional!More

My husband & I went here after our pineapple tour. This place is beautiful, and rich in history. Everything tasted great. They have lots of options, especially if you have dietary needs. The portion size is lacking, and the price point is $$$ even for...Maui standards. If you want a high end meal in upcountry country- this is for you! If you’re traveling on a budget, skip this place in front of the truck on our way back to the beach.More

Katie Rose was an excellent server as well as the host with thr cool mask. If that didn't make our first night great after a 10 hr flight.... the food was even better. We ordered the crab flatbread pizza appetizer... GREAT. Then the Coconut Seafood...Curry was to die for. OMG. I just had the leftover for breakfast, which I had been dreaming about all night. Outside seating was great. Everyone was great. I don't think it can be topped... but we will see. Will defintely put it on my list WHEN we come back. MAHALOMore

Overall, it was good experience. The patio is covered which is nice; however the seating area itself seemed a little underwhelming. Ie: some tables had table cloths, some didn’t. It’s pretty bare with no decorative touches. Just tables and chairs. The food presentation is incredible...and servings are large. We found the taste and seasoning a bit disappointing. We added salt to our catch of the day and the green curry was a bit bland for us. My companion loved his ribs and fries though.More

I wouldn’t rank this place amongst the top restaurants on Maui simply because it doesn’t hit all the marks. The food was very good. I ordered the bone in rib eye special medium rare and though it came out rare it was still good and...given the number of overcooked steaks I’ve had I’d rather they err on the undercooked side. The problem was the service. We showed up ten minutes early for our reservation and were told it would be just a few minutes. So we stood awkwardly by front expecting them to call our names soon. Meanwhile we saw other people from the outside porch area being seated and I realized they had been waiting too. By the time we were seated it had been 20-25 minutes of standing at the front. There was no acknowledgment or apology for the wait, and no communication while we were waiting . The wait is understandable. Sometimes people take longer to vacate their tables and they can’t control that. My issue is with how they handled it. Instead of telling us it would be just a few minutes and leaving us hanging they should have suggested we enjoy the view from the porch or have drinks at the bar and they would come get us. Once we were seated our server was friendly and showed up quickly but then went incognito after taking our drink orders. It must’ve been 20 minutes before we ordered. The dining room is large and too brightly lit. It lacks any ambiance. So to summarize this place has good food, but mediocre service and setting.More

My family and I enjoyed our meals here. The food choices were good and the service was great. I made reservations in advance and we were seated immediately.

Our best meal in Maui. Fun location in Up Country next to the Pineapple and Distillery tours. The food was amazing and very creative. I had the “Sushi Napoleon” for appetizer and it was the most striking and delicious plate I’ve ever had - a...combination of contrasting flavors and textures that was amazing. And the macadamia nut crusted Maui Maui was amazing too. Inside is very noisy, but they have a big tent outside where we sat and that was so fun. It was a circus-like tent with lights strung up and a cool breeze blowing thru. This is our favorite place on Maui, we’ll worth the drive (and the country up there is quite beautiful).More
