   This place had by far the most amazing food we’ve ever had on a vacation. The Wagyu entree was out of this world. Moist, juicy and delicious. Drinks, ambience and service were outstanding. Finding the restaurant in the vastness of Grand Wailea was a completely different thing altogether…

   Only restaurant at the Grand Wailea worth going to unless you’re staying there. Bar is very cool.

   Excellent food, but overpriced like many things at a Maui resort. Server was friendly and knowledgeable but very very very slow.

   It’s a gorgeous restaurant built like a tiki hut on top of water. Ambience was great, but service lacks luster. We were seated right away with our reservation time but no one attended us for at least 15mins. The food was great just not service and given the price point it’s disappointing.

   Amazing experience, delicious Grande seafood tower with enough to share between 6. Nice view of the sunset over the water, and friendly quick service.

   We went for the Christmas Brunch. For $175 per person I expected much more. The quality of food was poor and most items had been sitting for a long time and not fresh. I almost never right a poor review but I would not return even if it was half the price. There are too many other options on the island that have great food and service.

   This is a poor review for both Open Table & The Grand Wailea’s Humuhumunukunukuāpua’a. I made reservations on Open Table at Humuhumu for lunch on Christmas Day. There was nothing that said this was a fixed-price Christmas brunch buffet (the standard menu was showing) nor did it give a price, I chose this restaurant for its Hawaiian-style food for visiting guests for the day, I requested standard seating. At this point, in choosing a restaurant I was familiar with who was having Christmas buffets & showing costs, so I knew what I was looking for. Arriving at the Grand Wailea it was difficult to find someone to help direct us to Humuhumunukunukuāpua’a, the concierge gave poor instructions. I went down to Humuhumu, quite a walk. The restaurant was not open, not a soul was there. I saw a single small paper sign on my way back up the path, 30 or so feet away from the restaurant guiding me to a Christmas brunch buffet which I followed in hopes of finding someone to tell me what I was to do about my reservation. I make it to the brunch, which is outside in a mediocre location & ask about my reservations. I am told that my lunch was merged into the brunch. They put us at a table and tell us to join the brunch and do not mention a cost, It’s buffet style, and the food is mediocre at best and we each get charged $175 (!!!) per person for mediocre food, locale, aesthetic, and no communication from either Open Table or Humuhumunukunukuāpua’a. Appalling. Could we have left had we known the price? Sure, but where would we have gone? Everything was closed or booked. Where was the info that should be on Humuhumu's page with fixed price and that it's a standard brunch? Is that on Open Table or is it on the restaurant for not updating their own page? The appalling service all around, and meh food quality from Grand Wailea, which I have not even described here, is on them and I will be complaining directly to them. I would love to talk to Open Table but they are impossible to talk to.

    Went understanding it is expensive but felt very poor value for money. Staff courteous but “not on the job”…. Dessert offerings (two tables located distant from each other) very limited and did not include basics such as fruit salad and whipping cream. Similarly the food locations were also distant from each other. I understand it is a temporary location while a Reno is going on but it is def. not an experience I (or our guests) would recommend.
