    It has been a while since I have found a restaurant worth talking about. The food was delicious. Can’t wait to go again.

    Lots of misses. Has great potential. Food was just ok but way overpriced for the quality. Offer sauces with your steaks. Wine list we got was all international but they said they had domestic but no list when we asked.

    The view of the Golf Course and the mountains/volcanos was breathtaking. The food was pretty good and the drinks were refreshing.

    Good food and service. Yummy baked potato and rack of lamb. Great jazz entertainment. Limited outside seating. A little pricey!

    Do not snooze on the Mauka pork nachos! We went back during our vacation so that we could have them again.

    Great people, great food, and great ambience. Family friendly with a fine dining touch -(tough to pull off). Some hiccups, but the staff was all about making it perfect. We would not hesitate to recommend and come back.

    Very disappointed in this restaurant as there are not a lot of choices in our area for dining however I can't recommend this one. My husband, adult daughter, and myself visited on a Saturday evening and had a very bad experience. Our waiter person was completely incompetent and inattentive. When our entree's were delivered to us by the manger and not the waiter, he had gotten my fish order wrong so they offered to make it for me while I waited in the meantime my husband and daughter had finished their steak, which by the way was excellent. When I got my meal the fish was under cooked and very cold. I of course sent it back and we left without my having a meal. They were very sorry but what good does that do? To top it off I expected they would comp at least a part of the meal if not the whole thing but that didn't happen. The evening was ruined. Will NOT GO BACK!

    A very nice dinner & evening at Mauka. Everyone was so cordial making our anniversary celebration very special! Our servers were amazingly helpful & attentive. My dinner of Escargot, Macadamia Nut Crusted Ono & Mango Crème Brûlée for dessert were the best flavors I have tasted. For this incredible meal, we paired a bottle of French Medoc. I want to try their Rack of Lamb or Lobster next with a Tiramisu dessert. We are coming back!

    Really bummed I made a reservation for my boyfriends birthday even put a note in and they said happy birthday but was really hoping they would bring out a desert with a candle or something literally anything would have been nice as most restaurants do but nope not a thing. Also make sure you order a side because if you order any meat dish that’s all you get just a piece of meat on the plate. For the price really disappointed, for the service also disappointed.
