    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.

    The Kapa Nachos were awesome! Not sure if $5 guacamole was worth it considering the portion size. Kapa Burger was awesome as well! flavorful patty, soft brioche bun and a healthy portion of fries!
