Best Brunch Restaurants in Maalaea

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.

This is our family’s favorite brunch spot on Maui! The variety of food options available for the local pallet can’t be beat!

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!

We had such a nice anniversary dinner last night! We live on Maui and this was a spot yet to try! Our table was beautiful, full ocean view reflecting off the pond surrounding the restaurant. We loved our little loveseat table, and the food was excellent. We loved the crab cake, the venison lumpia, the ube rolls with lilikoi butter in particular and the banana crème and malasada dessert is a must try too! And we really appreciated the Kamaaina discount. Our server was very attentive too! We will be back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Plantation, and it was an experience worth sharing. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was outstanding—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Each dish reflected a clear dedication to quality and detail, making every bite memorable. The setting was equally impressive. With a stunning view that added to the ambiance, it provided the perfect backdrop for a quiet, relaxing dinner. It’s rare to find a place where you can enjoy such tranquility while savoring great food. The service was excellent as well. The staff was attentive, friendly, and professional without being intrusive, which truly elevated the evening. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. If you’re looking for a spot with fantastic food, impeccable service, and a serene atmosphere, The Plantation is a must-visit.
