Best service you can find on Maui is at this hotel and the restaurants within it! We had such a wonderful time coming here for breakfast every day - the food was amazing, view was fantastic, and the staff kept us coming back! We can't wait to have another vacation so we can come back here and enjoy it all again!
I was staying at the Wailea Beach Resort where this restaurant is located. On my last night there, I did not want to venture off property so I made an Open Table reservation. They were very busy so I did have to wait a few minutes past my reservation time but it was fine. With them being busy, it took awhile for my waiter to come by but after that he was pretty attentive. The additional staff brought me Edamame, water and my order. To start, I had the CRISPY IKA-KATSU (CALAMARI) Yuzu Kosho Tartar Sauce | Wasabi Nori Cocktail. This was very good. They cut the calamari in strips vs rings. Very tasty. Both sauces had a kick to them but I liked them both. For my entree, I had the HONEY MUSTARD BONELESS BEEF SHORTRIBS: Potatoes Au Gratin | Roasted Mushroom Medley | Pickled Pohole Fern Chimichurri. I actually like the potatoes and veggies better than the beef. The beef was good but not a super strong flavor. And it was a huge portion. It would have been good to share it with someone. Overall I liked it. For dessert, I had the Lappert's sorbet. It was a mix of flavors that I enjoyed. I think coconut and mango. Very tasty! Overall, I decent dinner. Service could have been a bit better but I enjoyed it and the food was good.
The pele sushi was the perfect balance of flavors with an exciting kick of spice from the chili string. I got the herb-crusted monchong which was decent and the lava cake dessert was heavenly
Background: Brought kids with us to Maui to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Reservations were easy to make, made rez for 4 people 6 days prior and still openings so it is easy. The restaurant is in the Marriot, you can go even if you're not staying at the hotel. Parking was free. The hotel is beautiful and there are spots to take photos. The restaurant: we got seated close by the patio but still in the restaurant. We had a great view. Food: food was amazing- we loved everything. Adults got the butterfish Bass and Boneless short rib. Kids got the Buttered pasta and kids Boneless short rib. No complaints! Service: Here was the issue. We got seated and we waited a while for someone to greet us. The server (forgot his name) acknowledged it and as soon as he came up he apologized for the wait. Cool- no prob you're probably busy. We gave the drink order and app order. The adult beverages came and we all took time to really decide on our meals. The app came out and we ate it all.... Then waited.... And waited... He came and apologized again but tried to make a joke and said "oh wow you really didn't like the Calamri! " since we are all the appetizer. It would be funny but my thought was- no we ate it all because it's been some time.... Again- trying to lighten the mood. He's trying. I'm giving him the credit but the service just needed to get better at this point. He got our orders and left. The food came out about 20-25 minutes later... cool... But- we looked and realized the kids never got their drinks. I kind of wanted another glass of wine but we waited for the server to check on us so we can tell him but he never came. Then I started looking for him... then we all were looking for him. Someone else saw us and came over and helped. But after we got the kids drinks time had passed and he didn't pass by or come by to check on us. Finally he came and apologize AGAIN for the wait and would give us desserts on him/the house. The waiter again is trying but either the restaurant staff didn't help and failed him or he just keep falling short on servicing us. The dinner was our "nice dinner" of our vacay and were a little bummed. I give him some credit for trying but it got to a point where we thought, stop apologizing, just please tend to us. We felt like we were the table he got in a different section that he 'had to' check in on and I say that because other than coming directly to us we really didn't see him much. One random thing my husband took from the waiters comments was that every time he was at our table he tried to make a joke, "whatever you don't finish, I'll eat it!". Cool- up sell the food! We like jokes, we take jokes well... but he said it EVERY TIME he came to our table. I know the awkwardness that comes with the job- do I make convos? some people want conversations, some don't... but this was a little weird. My husband even said, if he really is hungry I'll purposely leave food for him. Because it was said so much. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was great. But being a very classy, high end restaurant with prices to match the food the service just needs to tighten up.
This restaurant is at the Wailea Beach Resort by Marriott and for being a hotel restaurant it exceeded expectations! Great ambiance, service, and delicious quality food! We celebrated our honeymoon and had the best time. The team even brought us out a little congratulatory cake which made us feel even more special! Highly recommend to visitors and locals alike and will come again on our next visit to Maui!
Celebrated my sister in laws pre wedding dinner. We were sat off the private dining room which was superb. The staff was super amazing and loved loved loved all the mixtures of food. My sister in law had a prefix menu which included apps, salad, entree and the trio dessert. That braised short ribs. Ohhhh mama!!! This restaurant is located inside the Wailea Marriott. We were given complimentary valet parking. What a beautiful space and amazing view. Everything was delicious. I grew up in Maui and I haven't experienced this type of service in a long time. I will come back for sure and have HH. Thanks you Humble Kitchen Team.
Staff was very friendly, view was gorgeous, and the food came out super fast. They have a fixed price kids menu for dinner that looked quite good and was a significant amount of food. I think the kids menu is actually very reasonably priced for what you get. The adult menu prices, on the other hand, are what you expect from flagship resort restaurants. For the flavor of the food, I find the dishes overpriced. However, you are paying for more than just the food at restaurants like this. And that's why I want to call out how great the view and staff were. Ambience is probably not at the level of some of the other flagships around the area (e.g. humuhumunukunukuapua'a at Grand Wailea), but still nice. Really loved the variety of vegetables present in the dishes. The kitchen really shows a love for vegetables in the preparation and presentation. Sauces were also very unique and tasty. Overall, the food is prepared very well. I enjoyed my dinner here. I wouldn't make this a regular visit, but nice to do every now and then.
