As a local it's always nice to have an opportunity to take my out of town guest for an unexpected dining experience on Maui. It's sometimes not just about beaches, but serenity, calmness, quiet and good conversations over consistently great food.

Set in beautiful “Old Hawaii” sitting on the porch, listening to the wind, looking at the gorgeous foliage and beautiful skies, we enjoyed a delicious 3-course prix fix meal. If you want a quiet, unique food experience, this is the place.

I really wanted to love this experience. I went with my significant other to celebrate my birthday, expecting uber fresh ingredients and beautiful vegetarian options highlighting the bounties that Maui has to offer. The menu changes often, based upon what's available. Maybe we went on an "off" night but the menu we choose from felt pretty dated and certainly nothing particularly special. For instance, our starter options were Ceasar Salad and Tomato Soup. We chose one of each. The salad was fine. Not great, certainly nothing special. The soup was oddly sweet and luke warm. It sort of went on from there. The table decor was a typical small glass vase with dried Statice flowers. Really? Common dried flowers when that side of the island is literally chock full of lush green options? I have to also mention that the restroom was absolutely filthy. Surfaces were grimy, stained and just gross. It's not that hard to deep clean a small bathroom space. The lack of effort here played out throughout the rest of the experience. Was the food terrible? No. Was it great? absolutely not.

The Wooden Crate is set in a beautiful and lush upcountry venue that truly embraces Maui’s natural charm. The surroundings are serene and make for a peaceful escape, but while the ambiance is stunning, the food itself was just okay. The dishes were good, but nothing really stood out or left a lasting impression. It’s the kind of place where the experience is more about the setting than the cuisine. That said, it’s still a great place to visit, especially if you’re looking for a relaxing atmosphere and a change of pace from the busier parts of the island. While the food might not steal the show, the venue makes it worth the trip.

excellent food and service, however large group table next to us made it almost impossible to have a conversation.

Out of the ordinary and a wonderful calm atmosphere for fine dining. A place you can count on for great creative menu and has something for everybody. Our biggest complaint is that it's across island otherwise we would be there more often.

A very special event for our visitors, something they wouldn't expect of Maui. We always take our guest for an evening!

The food was very good. The service was average. The price Overpriced! We live in Maui and started gong there a few years ago and the price with tax was about $120 total but for two now $175. Unfortunately they will loose our business since their prices are now comparable to Mama's Fish House which we have never been to because of the price. That's too bad because we really enjoyed going there : (
