Restaurants near Hale Ono Loa 212

This restaurant is the best value for your money. It's ocean side. Our table was right next to the ocean and the view was spectacular. The service is the best and the waiters are the friendliest. The food is outstanding. I am Vegan and they are always respectful of my requests and accommodate me. I love their Greek Pita Wrap - I get it with grilled tofu and mushrooms ... it's not on the menu, but they will do for you if you are a vegetarian. And the Lilikoi sorbet is the best ever!! We were celebrating a birthday and they even brought out the sorbet with a candle on it. And they gifted the birthday girl the dessert. We LOVE Mala Ocean Tavern and eat there frequently. I will always bring mainland friends here. The view can't be beat and it's one of the few restaurants right on the water. And if you're lucky, you might see a honu (sea turtle) or two!

My family of five adults and a one year-old granddaughter enjoyed our second meal at Leilani‘s on the beach during our one week vacation on Maui. The ambience was superb as it was a nice evening with a beautiful sunset. Our server was Derek, and he was wonderful. He was attentive, friendly, and helpful. All our requests were taken care of by Derek. The food was superb again as usual. We enjoyed the calamari and Korean pork ribs as starters, and the pork ribs are very flavorful! They had a children’s menu for our one year-old, and she devoured most of the chicken and green beans. Two of us enjoyed the superb sesame crusted tuna with a tasty shiitake soy butter. One daughter enjoyed the shrimp pasta, and the other enjoyed the Alaskan King crab legs. Even though the crab legs were expensive, there was a large amount of meat within the large crab legs, and the crab meat was so tender and succulent. It was worth the price! My wife enjoyed the ribs and chicken plate. The proportions of food was generous and the timing of service between the appetizers and entrées was spot on. It was a lovely evening with a great meal and wonderful service at Leilani‘s on the beach. We look forward to our next trip to Maui so we can have dinner at Leilani‘s on the beach.

Fabulously delicious dinner! Our server recommended the opaka paka special. Both my husband and I ordered it and we both fell in love with the dish. The flavors and textures were amazing. We usually have relaxed dinner conversation but we were so mesmerized by the dish that we could only eat.

Great location- beautiful views - excellent food - busy, busy! Only complaints would be 30" wait for a table AFTER confirmed reservation time. Not a great start to a Birthday celebration for my wife! Ushered to the outdoor bar for a drink while waiting for table; great views from the deck but ... why have a reservation (made 60 days ago and re-confirmed) if you're going to have to wait?? Food was delicious and while waiter was competent, we felt he was distracted by larger parties and catered to them while letting us wait. Instead of paying with a credit card, I paid cash just so we wouldn't have to wait.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Plantation, and it was an experience worth sharing. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was outstanding—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Each dish reflected a clear dedication to quality and detail, making every bite memorable. The setting was equally impressive. With a stunning view that added to the ambiance, it provided the perfect backdrop for a quiet, relaxing dinner. It’s rare to find a place where you can enjoy such tranquility while savoring great food. The service was excellent as well. The staff was attentive, friendly, and professional without being intrusive, which truly elevated the evening. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. If you’re looking for a spot with fantastic food, impeccable service, and a serene atmosphere, The Plantation is a must-visit.
