Volcano Grill And Bar

Really beautiful place with great service. The food was amazing and we really enjoyed our time. We arrived a little early (before they open), so had a chance to walk the property. Note that there's only valet parking, but they do validate. Also, the restaurant doesn't do cash. I'd recommend a table at the open kitchen if you're into that sort of thing. Update: came back exactly a year later, and everything remains true. This is probably the best fine dining experience on the island.

We really enjoyed the view and the apps. The tuna app with burrata and tomatoes was delicious. The table ended up ordering another of the steak app. We got mahi and tuna for dinner - neither were very good compared to the apps. Definitely liked the mahi better of the two. The tuna specifically didn’t have much flavor. The service was not very good. I’m assuming it’s because of staffing but you’d think a Restaurant would stop taking tables if they couldn’t handle it. Our waiter didn’t come by nearly enough and, on a few occasions, he walked away as we were trying to order something else. He always said he was going to put in an order or give us a minute when he did this. However, it felt like he was either totally unaware or just wanted a reason to go do something else. (We would give it 3 stars if this was always how the service was) We also were celebrating a dinner - which they asked about before seating us - and it wasn’t brought up again.

After eating at the pool bars, we did not know what to expect at Kahana Kitchen. We were pleasantly surprised to have a very good experience. We started by splitting the Walpoll mixed greens salad, which was very fresh and tasty. My wife, who normally dislikes salads, loved the salad; especially the pears and red wine mascarpone dressing. I also had the Ahi Tataki, it tasted as good as it looked. The fresh tomatoes and burrata are now my favorite accompaniment to Ahi. My wife had the mushroom risotto, which she loved despite not especially liking mushrooms. We like that the restaurant features local farms as ingredient suppliers and plates that are shareable. The service was very good, attentive but not intrusive.

Honestly I don’t ever leave reviews but I felt like I had to with this place; the food here is absolutely on another level. Wife and I split the striploin & the fresh catch which was Mongchong (never had it before), we had a lot of good food in Maui all week but this topped it off as an amazing last meal before our trip ends. Amazing amazing amazing. Nothing on the plate didn’t deserve to be there. The flavors were incredible. 10 stars if I could, 5 isn’t enough.

Dining here was an amazing experience. Despite deciding relatively last minute to book a table, they were able to accommodate us quite nicely, even providing an outside table with a decent view. The food itself was delicious, especially the rib eye steak. Topped with a satisfying dessert, it is hard to find a better way to celebrate Mother's Day.

Our meal was incredible. You can definitely taste how fresh everything was! Every interaction with the staff, from host to server, was very pleasant and you could definitely feel the staff really care about providing a great experience. I highly recommend the octopus salad and fresh catch of the day.
