My salmon salad was excellent! The freshness of the produce, the juicy salmon with crisp skin, the spicy dressing... all craveable. It was also beautifully plated. My partner's chicken parm was just so so (ok tomato sauce, slightly overcooked pasta). I don't think chicken parm is ever really a standout dish, so I'm not putting a lot of weight on that dish. Bread basket with whipped garlic butter was very good. Coconut cream pie sparked drool. Great service. Cute restaurant. We went for lunch. Will definitely go back to try some of the more upscale mains for dinner.

Super delicious house salad with up country greens! The creamy pomodoro with scallops and shrimp was excellent! A must stop if you are up country!

Mahi Mahi sandwich on foccaccia bread was delicious. Great upcountry stop!

We found this little gem on our way out from a visit to Haleakala National Park. I had the prime rib sandwich, which was delicious. My wife opted for the Cajun mahi mahi sandwich, and she loved it. Their pies and cakes are also super tasty. The staff is super friendly and the service was great! There is ample parking in the rear. I highly recommend this location.

Excellent food flavor, presentation, texture, large portions. Needed a trip next door to pick up wine, but that meant that the wine was cheaper than usual. Lots of dessert choices too.

Quite possibly my favourite restaurant on the island! The food is incredible - fresh, good portions, unique flavours! Love their sauces. Sitting outside is wonderful, enjoyed BYOB, truly amazing warm service from Liz! Will be back next time we’re visiting, and hopefully soon!

After a number of disappointing restaurants in Maui, Kula Bistro knocks it out of the park. It is on-par with the Michelin chef restaurants on Oahu. Generous portions and fair prices. They have vegan dishes, and a variety of deserts as well. Do not miss. I had the Ahi special (wow), and pictured is my companions half eaten Wagyu Meatballs (also excellent).

I used to love love love the Rueben. But somehow after they reopened from the Kula fires it was nowhere near as good. I tried it twice after they reopened and the second time it was just as NOT good. The bread was hard and dry and there was hardly any cheese or sauce so the sourness from the kraut dominated. Plus the meat was dry and there was less of it. They increased the price as well, which I definitely would pay if it was as good as it used to be. My other meal of choice was the fish and chips which is now off the menu for some reason. Needless to say I have not been back. It was truly one of my favorite places to eat especially since I live in Kula.
We stopped here after we visited the Ali'i Lavender Farm as we saw it had great reviews and we are so happy we did! Great service and delicious local food!

We went to our usual, go to spot when in Maui, only to find it is closed. Searched out this place and was extremely pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing, the atmosphere light, great variety on the menu. We had the coconut shrimp, Caesar salad and mahi-mahi. All three were done to perfection. Will definitely recommend and return.
