Mauka Makai is a culinary experience celebrating the farming and fishing culture of ancient Hawai"i. Ancient Hawaiians drew their sustenance-physical and spiritual- from the land and sea around them. Seafood provided the primary protein in the Hawaiian diet, complementing staples such as taro, sweet potato and breadfruit. This sets the stage for Mauka Makai - toward the mountain, toward the ocean.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Mauka Makai offers a stunning sunset view paired with delectable dishes like curry shrimp, scallop risotto, and seared ahi. Guests praise the "fantastic setting" and "attentive friendly service." Though slightly pricey, it's a perfect resort dining experience. Don't miss the dessert options, especially the "mudd pie," for a sweet ending.

    Great Sunset Dinner! Staying @ Nanea for first time and wanted to really enjoy the Nanea experience. After a day at the Pool and Beach it was so convenient to simply get ready, go downstairs and enjoy a great Dinner. The wedge Salad was so big that we were able to split it with friend’s. The main courses were great. Then Dessert! That Mudd Pie was so big and delicious that I actually asked for a box to take back to the room. We would definitely come back as well as recommend our waiter Shawn who was very attentive and gave us great service.

    Outstanding high quality meal. Wonderful flavors. I had the scallop risotto and my husband had the swordfish and both were excellent.

    It was prime rib night, they ran out and we were 1 of the 1st 10 guests. We had to eat what we were given, and it was not what we ordered. It was my friends birthday but our meals were served and eaten separately. The manager comped us the meal. But it was as certainly a memorable birthday for my friend. The waiter had a complete disinterest in the guests, like he was having a bad day and should have called in sick. It’s like he was spending our money in his head before we spent our money on our dinner. Everyone but him were exceptional in service and personality
    Mauka MakaiResponded on October 1, 2024
    Aloha annemarie, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the issues you faced on your friend's birthday, especially regarding the prime rib and the service you received. It's disappointing to hear that we fell short of our usual standards, and we appreciate your feedback. We're glad the manager on duty was able to address the situation, but we understand it was not the celebration you had hoped for. Please know that we take your comments seriously and will work to improve our service. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Mahalo, Ryan
