    Onion soup and Mac crusted Mahi was good as was the basque chocolate cheese cake. Shrimp with pasta (dry) came with a totally different pasta than was listed on the menu, so disappointing as that menu pasta was why it was ordered. The service was great, and the cocktails were outstanding, will I return, probably not.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. While we’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the onion soup, macadamia-crusted mahi, Basque chocolate cheesecake, and cocktails, we’re sorry to learn the shrimp pasta didn’t meet your expectations and differed from the menu description. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll review this with our kitchen team to ensure better consistency. We're grateful for your kind words about the service and hope you'll reconsider and visit us again in the future. Mahalo.

    Glad to see the resurgence and attention to detail under new leadership. Only gripes: crab pizza wasn't crabby and their food deserves better than crappy frozen French fries. Otherwise, the meal was delightful.

    It was very expensive for very little food. Not a ton of choice either.

    Another wonderful experience at Haliimaile — one of our ‘must go’ restaurants on Maui. Usually we go for dinner, but it was windy at the beach today so we had lunch instead — flank steak tacos with ube tortillas, yum, and Paniolo ribs with slaw and fries, yummm. The star of our lunch was the banana, apple cheesecake which was delicious and so light, and we wished we had ordered another one to take with us. Service was impeccable and friendly. It’s always a warm, welcome home kind of vibe at Haliimaile General Store.

    We went to Twin Falls and then dinner here. Our waiter was so nice with our large group. Food was just okay, given the price and expectations. But we’re finding that most restaurants on Maui are pricey.

We understand that dining on Maui can be on the pricier side, but we always aim to provide great value with our food. We appreciate your visit and hope you'll give us another try next time! Mahalo!

    Lovely place and nice service. Delicious and creative FOOD!! Loved the poke, bun mi, and chocolate hazelnut cake with crema! Be patient, as when it’s busy, servers are really hustling to cover all tables. My only complaint is that open table confirmed our 5:15 reservation a week in advance, but then on the day of, sent an incorrect reminder for 3:15! This was alarming, as it was my husband’s birthday and we were coming to HI from mainland to celebrate. The restaurant seated us without issue, though.

We're also thrilled that Hezekiah made your husband's birthday extra special. We apologize for the mix-up with your reservation time, and we appreciate your understanding. It was a pleasure having you celebrate with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Mahalo!
