    Where to start? The service was impeccable! Attentive and kind lady who took such good care of us. The food, 10/10. Every flavor was perfectly balanced and kept me excited for the next bite. The overall vibe of this place is warm, inviting and fillled with Aloha. Chef Scotty is a hero. Can’t wait to go back.

    Monkeypod is definitely one of my most favorite restaurants on Maui. I go to both locations frequently, but Whalers Village is my favorite. The food is outstanding and the staff is amazing and the view is spectacular. I recommend this as a destination for all occasions.

    Our best food experience on Maui. Lovely comfortable atmosphere, great service and delicious food! We had the crab pizza, Caesar salad and pork buns for appetizers to share and all were awesome and came out in a flash. Then the special fish of the day(manjang?), curry(panang style with fish and big prawns annd yummy vegetables) and the bbq ribs. Everybody loved their dish and we shared bites because it was so tasty. Wine was good and reasonable. The Banana cheesecake and vanilla ice cream were great. Service was fast and friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant.

    Had an incredible experience for Christmas Eve. The wait staff made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Different staff stopped by to check on us and even asked if we liked the bottle of wine, then gave us some insight. Very attentive. Our server was Jessica and she chatted with us like we were friends. Amazing time!
