    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.

    We had a Filet Mignon cooked to perfection and the house made Pappardelle served in a wonderfully delicious ragu made beef and venison. Indescribably delicious. The double chocolate cake for dessert was heavenly. We will definitely plan to return soon to this up country gem.

    Amazing farm to table food made in house. Absolutely delicious. The potstickers and lobster deviled eggs for sure for appetizer and fresh fish of the day was stunning. Maria was also fabulous in her service and attentiveness. She made great recommendations and made our experience that much better! Highly recommend

    Really good food! Little warm for me but not unpleasant. The signature cocktail (Mai tai?) was delicious and they called it a different name and it definitely wasn’t a traditional Mai tai. $180 for 6 of us seemed like a lot but also not unreasonable for Maui. Awesome place to stop for lunch after a pineapple tour across the street.

    My previous experience was terrible! This was shortly after they opened and the food was horrible. Gave it a 2nd try and it was much improved. It's still very noisy but not as bad in the back! It is on the pricier side.
