    Merriman’s has never let us down. We had meatless entrees and we both ate every bite. B ordered pasta from the Starters/Apps menu and I had a mushroom pot pie special. I struggle finding words to adequately describe the flavors, textures, and beauty of the pot pie. A blend of mushrooms and each flavor stood out. The crust was brilliant; absolutely perfect. The dough was stretched over a cast iron pie plate and it had risen probably 4” over the mushrooms inside. And the pastry was delicious. Honestly, a top 5 dining experience of a lifetime of fine food. But salads, yes. Off of the menu, but perfect. Generous portion of very fresh everything. I had the blue cheese crumbles on mine and B went without dairy. Mango, avocado, tomato, greens dressed with subtle citrus dressing. Perfect.

    Always a lovely experience at The Plantation House! My husband and I had a delicious brunch the morning after Christmas. The dining room overlooks the golf course and ocean with beautiful views and quiet ambiance. The food and service are always top-notch. It was fun to see them setting up the course for the Sentry PGA Tour starting on January 2nd. Treat yourself for a special or regular occasion. You won’t be disappointed!

    Sansei doesn’t disappoint. We have been coming here since it opened back in the 1990’s. This was our first time back since 2019. There’s an outdoor patio now which is a great addition. Megan was a fabulous server. Definitely make it a choice when in Kapalua or other places in Hawaii!

    Taverna’s holiday menu was excellent! There were still so many choices and all five of us thoroughly enjoyed our 3-course meal selections. Our waiter was personable and attentive. The price point was very reasonable. Love the location. Taverna remains on our favorites list and we’ll definitely be back.
