Best Brunch Restaurants in Kaanapali

Very beautiful atmosphere for a romantic or casual dinner. Food is excellent, however very pricey. It seemed empty for a Saturday @ 7pm seating. Service was great in celebrating our Anniversary with a complimentary dessert of our choice and a 25% discount.

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!

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.

Outstanding experience. The food was delicious and well presented. The portions were plenty and the service was outstanding. The location next to the beach was awesome and seeing the sunset was special. The humas, wedge salad and chicken and ribs were fabulous. A perfect setting for a Hawaiian dinner. Long live Duke K.

We dined twice for dinner at Mauka Makai and thoroughly enjoyed both times. One would not expect a restaurant at a time share to be anything special. We were very pleasantly surprised and returned for a second visit because it was so good. The food is excellent and rivals anything at top restaurants in the Kaanapali area, and with good prices. Our server James was top notch - he knew what he was doing (no problem opening older bottles of wine, which we had brought with us) - he was engaged and pleasant - we enjoyed his service very much. The view at Mauka Makai is beautiful. The combination of everything made for a wonderful evening and we'll definitely be back during our next visit to Nanea.
