This eatery has captured the fullness of the Aloha vibe! Welcoming staff, courteous and prompt service, charming and original ambiance, live guitar music and song! Excellent.The ribs and corn bread were yummy and my hubby's Italian dish, he loved. Prices were reasonable, too. Recommend it for casual dining where your patronage is appreciated. Sunshine, the greeter, will brighten your day and the manager was gracious and charming. It was a true blessing.

We had heard about Ekolu for a long time and finally tried it out. We were not disappointed. Loved the gnocchi carbonara and the adobo chicken, the risotto was amazing... Caesar salad was over the top generous and great. Loved the assortment of drinks, a virgin Kula Mist was lovely.Highly recommend

So I brought my little one here for a Mini Prom date night since his older brothers both had their high school proms today. The staff made my 8yr old feel so amazing. He felt like a celebrity he said. And OH MY WORD. THE FOOD WAS SO DELICIOUS. EKOLU'S I am so grateful to y'all for an awesome Prom night. Will definitely be back.Foh and Boh give yourselves a pat on the back guys. Amazing. Thank you.

Armando made sure we had plenty of water and bread, very service oriented.
You MUST eat here at least once while in Kihei! A great atmosphere and warm welcome starts off the experience. Followed by excellent, attentive service from Hoku and the team. House made bread and butter and plenty of ice water with lemon arrive immediately. Then comes the incredible food. You can taste the love in every bite! Inspired dishes with fresh ingredients and amazing flavors. We ate it all up before I took any pictures but it was the best dinner we’ve had on Maui during our stay. We started with the fire roasted Brussels sprouts and then shared the chicken adobo. It was heaven on a plate. It arrived on 2 plates already split without us having to ask which was great for me because my husband eats faster so I still got my share! Happy Hour is from 3-5 and they also have an “Early Iwa Bird special” from 5-5:30 with dinner options at 50% off. Cant wait to come back to try more dishes.BONUS points for LIVE music EVERY night from 7-9pm. So happy, so full and filled with Aloha spirit.

Fine dining level service and amazing food. The short rib appetizer is excellent. All of our entrees were perfect. This place is clearly VERY well run and I know from experience. Our cocktails were very good and the dessert we shared was great once we let the flames go out (cool presentation). This is our third trip to Maui and this is the best meal we have ever had by a mile.
