    Walk in and Dawn at the front desk; recognizes up (full time residents). She is such a professional..and at the same time eases those coming in with no reservations. Miriam is a quiet front desk person…such a professional. She recognizes us and our table preference. She is a quiet TB Gem. Jacob, Kali, Kim, Kate, Tim (bartender) …no words. This is our core wait staff at TB. Complement each other and work in sync. Jaden..food runner. Always on the go..great smile and acknowledges from her time at the Hostest Desk. Last recognition is to Daniel. Clears tables..quiet man who we respect. He has an incredible smile which we have been honored to experience. Daniel is just a special part of TB. Shift Managers are great. TB Wailea works like a well oiled machine. Staff is top-notch..food. None better. No matter how many years…”Howard/Richards” and his music is not doing TB any favors. Find a musician that plays quiet Hawaiian music background. This musician always play Eagles and David Bowie…not good.

    You can’t go wrong at Ruth Chris. We had the classic steak and shrimp and steak and lobster meals and they were amazing. Make sure to make reservations soon. They fill up quickly. The wait staff are always on top of their game and full of ALOHA. We look forward to going there again soon and it’s a great place to celebrate the holidays and special occasions.

    Amazing farm to table food made in house. Absolutely delicious. The potstickers and lobster deviled eggs for sure for appetizer and fresh fish of the day was stunning. Maria was also fabulous in her service and attentiveness. She made great recommendations and made our experience that much better! Highly recommend

    Creative well-prepared cocktails, excellent food which indicates great competence in the kitchen. Menu covers some very savory ground with lots of cuisine options from sushi to fish & chips with a great pub burger and more, most likely something for everyone. Will go again anytime we’re in central Kihei. Thumbs-up.
