    The food was excellent as usual. The drinks were a little disappointing, especially for the price. And they have no blender so you can’t get blended drinks. The service is always very wonderful and the food is amazing. Highly recommend❤️

    We were celebrating a friend’s birthday and this was the perfect restaurant. The food was outstanding! It was a busy Friday night, but service was awesome! My Coconut Girl and Watermelon HI Ball cocktails were on point! Steak was perfectly cooked and tender. Coming back to try other dishes on the menu!

    Celebrated our anniversary with our first visit to Makawao Public House. It was busy. It was loud. It was sometimes difficult to hear each other across our table. But that means everyone was having fun and enjoying themselves. We tried a bunch of appetizers then had main courses and a dessert. Everything was excellent! The chowder was sooo ‘ono and I can’t wait to have the ahi bites again! Food was amazing! The servers were busy but still attentive. We will definitely be returning again.
