    The service was quick, the waiter was very efficient. The menu is a little limited and the prices are a little high but everything in Maui is expensive.

    Solid list of Italian wines (order off the list, glass pours are the usual boring types and names). Food was a bit Americanized in portion size, sauciness, and composition, but an Italian would happily eat here. Ingredients were top notch and super fresh. Very accommodating for gluten intolerance. Service was really great.

    We didn’t know what to expect, however we were pleasantly surprised. From the moment we arrived we knew it was going to be different. We were greeted by a gracious host and offered the opportunity to don traditional Moroccan attire over our street clothes. The decor appeared very authentic and comfortable. The food comes as Prix Fixe 6 course menu. Each dish brought more unique ingredients and flavors to the table. We were allowed a choice of four proteins and we chose the lamb. It was tender and delicious with a plum sauce. Many vegetables were served in the various dishes. In all this was a wonderful food experience. We will be back the next time in Maui
