Meh. It’s there, but there could be sooo much more!

Jawz started out as a taco stand just outside of Makena’s Big Beach, and that’s still our favorite place to get their food. If you go to their sit-down restaurant in North Kihei, you’ll find a slightly more refined grill on their fish and a huge salsa bar with salsas ranging from sweet to heat, […]

Chef Bev Gannon has reversed the typical Wailea equation (great views, but less than great food) to give us home-style comfort food in a setting that — while quirky — still provides a lovely vista. Joe’s is perched on stilts over the tennis courts at the Wailea Tennis Center. There’s a clear view over the […]

Teppanyaki is just plain fun, dontcha think? (James does — he begs Molly to visit Kobe at least once a quarter.) Japanese chefs juggle knives and throw fire while they prep, sear, and serve your meal tableside … it is Food Theater (and everyone gets a front row seat at the U-shaped tables). Kobe is […]

L&L is a Hawaii-based chain that serves plate lunch up as fast food: they scoop two scoops of rice and a mountain of macaroni salad onto a plate, and then you tell them what meats you want. We like the barbecue chicken and the beef short ribs with spicy and sweet sauce. The katsu chicken […]
