Restaurants near Makena Beach & Golf Resort

Our return visit to Monkey Pod was a wonderful experience. Our server was attentive and kept our water glasses full. The mahi mahi was excellent as were the lobster deviled eggs. One member of our party had the steak and he was impressed with the flavor and seasonings. We had one member of our party allergic to fish and they were out of the only non fish dishes, but enjoyed the pizza. Highly recommend this restaurant—although it was noisy for our sensitive grandson.

Jacob & Travis are amazing. The food is phenomenal! You can’t go wrong with anything you order from the Mahi tacos, Wagyu Ribeye, Bungalow Salad, Filet Mignon, Coconut Cloud Martini, Blood Orange Margarita and so much more! Jacob is awesome and his service is amazing while being friendly & attentive. Travis is awesome and makes your overall experience even better. Patrick in the store is awesome! He is amazing at finding the perfect sunglasses to fit your face shape and style. He’s got a great personality and makes the shopping experience so much fun! The hostesses at the front are always so friendly and welcoming. They have a huge smile on their faces and are very accommodating and helpful. Best Tommy Bahama restaurant & store in the United States!!

I’ve lived on Maui for 12 years and this restaurant has always been one of my top three but it has risen to number one with this past experience. The food was outstanding and I think the best on the island. The service was wonderful and of course the location is beautiful. If you can only go out once, this is the restaurant you should go to. Love love it!! Mahalo to everyone who was top notch!

Wonderful! Julie our server was warm and personable—and honest in her menu suggestions. The food was all fantastic—hummus plate was full of unusual and tasty offerings (pickled star fruit—beet hummus with tandoori spices …). Bread service (warm focaccia with basil butter) was so good we ordered a second. Sides of Brussels and sautéed carrots were both just great. And everyone enjoyed their meals—ahi dashi, tom kha with fresh catch, smash burger, Caesar with added shrimp. Another with added blackened ahi. Plus some very interesting and well crafted cocktails. (The only small miss was the root beer float dessert which was a bit too sweet —not enough soda?) All this with a backdrop of great friends, family, and fabulous Maui sunset views at 530 seating. Thanks for a memorable night.

All of our food was amazing. We sampled pretty much most of the appetizers some of the sushi rolls, the sashimi, the wagyu steak and the desserts were fabulous as well. Our coffee martinis put it over the top. our waiter Mikey was awesome. Enjoyed our evening tremendously
