Drinks were cold as was the Kale Caesar. Chicken Parmesan with pasta was fresh and hot. Child’s butter pasta was delicious. Server is the best here.

If you’re looking for outdoor seating in a friendly atmosphere and a setting to beat the band, look no further than Maui Ocean Vodka. From the wide array of tropical drinks, made with their own smooth brand of gluten free vodka, as well as other spirits, to delectable appetizers and main offerings, loved by both carnivores and herbivores alike, as well as delicious gluten free pizza, there’s something to tickle the taste buds of just about everyone. Most evenings offer talented local musicians to add to the ambience. Reservations aren’t necessary, but are recommended.

Had a fantastic dinner last night with my husband and toddler at a cozy upcountry Maui spot. The vibe was intimate yet casual, perfect for our family. The drinks were amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection, and our server, Ben, was attentive and kind. Can’t wait to return!
