The Eggs Benedict at Cane and Canoe are no doubt the best in Maui, we often come for their amazing Spa at Montage, but always have breakfast here. I would like to mention just one thing that is not great, the coffee. We have great coffee in Hawaii, and they should get a better cup of local Maui coffee from our local coffee Roaster. Service is always very attentive here, and is a beautiful setting.

For starters, the lady at the front desk was super nice to both my wife and I. It was my wife’s birthday so we wasted no time and started with drinks (drinks hit the spot). The food was magnificent, the ambience was perfect especially for both me and wife being that we haven’t had a date night in quite a while. Everything was perfect and couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Ka’ana Kitchen staff!

Humuhumunukunumuapua'a (I hope autocorrect remembers this so I won't have to type it again) was a very lovely place to eat. The open air ambience and cuisine were both exactly what we hoped for. Our server, Michael, was incredibly helpful in guiding our selections and we were both very happy with the quality and presentation of the food.
