This restaurant was down by the harbor with open air dining and great views. The menu was interesting and the wait staff was very friendly. The food was great and serving portions were large.

We went to this place on Nov 13, 2021 after arriving at our condo late in the afternoon. Were lucky enough to catch Happy Hour which has some menu food items and several sweet island and well drinks on the Happy Hour menu. We were also lucky enough to hear some local talent playing easy listening music until 8:00PM. Typically, 70's, 80's & some 90's music. We enjoyed it.Service was prompt and excellent.The calamari, my bell weather for the chef, was marginally over cooked and some pieces were chewy (the ones with the tentacles). So I was cautious about the dinner. Had the fish sandwich and soft shell fish taco's which came with a side (french fries in our case). Both were cooked perfectly with the fish sandwich a little bland.Went again on Nov 24, 2021 for Happy Hour, dinner and the live music. Received the same great service and had the soft shell fish taco and sliders. The buns on the sliders were soft and made from sweet bread. Delicious!Will return here again for a great atmosphere, music and food.

After a morning of touring, we stopped by for lunch. Sat on the patio, with wonderful views of the marina and beyond. Enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich. The piece of chicken was cut into the shape of a fish. Very clever! Pineapple Cole slaw is to die for. Excellent service. Worth a stop when in the Maalaea area.

Loved this place a year ago, November 2020. So disappointed to see service and food quality had declined. Will try again, just to be fair.

My husband came here for breakfast and enjoyed. We came another day for Happy Hour, and the best things about it were our server and their musician, Kenny Roberts. The drinks and food were completely mediocre. Nice location.

I see lots of mixed reviews for this place, so management has some severe inconsistency issues to deal with. Ours was primarily on the wait staff the evening of 9/14/2021. Per the official website, they are open to 9pm. We arrived at 7:45pm, and were rudely told by the waiter the kitchen would only be open for 5 more minutes. He was the only waiter, and there were six tables occupied. He was running around between all the tables and if you weren't ready to give him your order quickly, he would excuse himself abruptly to attend to another table.One couple arrived shortly after we did, and ordered drinks. By the time he returned to them, it was too late to order food, so they left their untouched drinks, left enough cash to cover the cost, and walked out. We should have done this, but there were few other places open until 9pm. He told another table that they were closing at 8pm. When we ordered earlier, I asked if I could substitute onion rings instead of fries with a pulled pork sandwich.His retort was that they were out of pulled pork, and the onion rings were an appetizer. I changed my request to a chicken sandwich, and ordered the onion rings as an appetizer. Another member of our party ordered a full rack of ribs. Their menu says the BBQ is "outstanding" but that was not our experience. While the rack looked great, it was actually dry and tough as leather. It was quite difficult to eat.Coupled with the extremely rude service and generally sour attitude, we will not return, and will advise others to proceed with caution. There is nothing worse than an employee waiting on you who is just itching to get out of there ASAP. Except maybe the toughest ribs you can imagine. Save yourself, pick another restaurant.I rarely leave bad reviews, and this place may have some good moments, but one bad apple really can spoil your experience.

I had decent service, but I am compelled to write this review because my meal was atrocious. I can easily say that it is the worst meal I have ever been served at a restaurants. My lobster was as tough as leather and burnt on top. I was flabbergasted to be served a burnt lobster. I mean it was black! That is not a pretty site on a plate. I ordered my prime rib rare, knowing that it is impossible to be served a rare steak, from the way they have to prepare it. But my partners steak was far less done than mine. The chief did not even try. I will never go back after this place. I hope your visit works out. But do remember there are a lot of quality restaurants to choose from.

This place came highly recommended from a family member. We accidentally came in after close, and not only did they still take us every single person was SO nice. I would venture to say this is the best service i have ever had (by everyone the server, expo and manager) Food was amazing!! If you are in the area and even if you aren't this place is a must stop.

I’m sorry to report but this place is advertising as Maui’s best BBQ, unfortunately it was not. Brisket was over cooked and tough, pulled pork sandwich was dry, and ribs were so-so. Panko Onion rings are good but those probably came out of a frozen bag. On the plus side Service was really great! I’m willing to give it two stars to be kind but if you ask my family they’d have given it zero. Teenage boys ate because they’re hungry but both said their meals sucked. Maybe was just and off experience for us- But for the price I’d find somewhere else if your looking for BBQ.

Pretty chill atmosphere for a quick lunch or dinner. We managed to get street parking right outside the restaurant which was convenient but it looks to me that spots are limited if this place gets busy enough. Staff was friendly on the way in but we waited at the hostess stand for over 5 minutes before being confronted even though it did not seem busy. That being said - we were seated right away. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich - very dry and would not recommend. Side of spicy mac n cheese was also not great. Buff wings were okay but a bit too greasy. Onion rings were 10/10. Pretty average spot.

The atmosphere was great and the food was reasonably priced. The French fries were the best I have ever had. I highly recommend this for casual dining!!!
