For many years, the Kula Lodge has been a favorite for both visitors and Kama'aina alike for delicious cuisine and breathtaking views of Maui. Perched high on the slopes of Haleakala with a 180 degree view of Maui, the Kula Lodge and Restaurant is a comfortable and homey place to relax, especially on your way down from the sunrise or sunset at the crater. It is situated on 4 lovely acres and not only has a stunning botanical garden, it has the only full-service bar and live music in Kula. It's also the only place upcountry with dancing (on Friday and Saturday nights)!

The restaurant seats up to 160 guests, making it ideal for weddings and special events. The Kula Lodge outdoor Garden Terrace features a brick wood-burning pizza oven and an open view of south, central and the Maui mountains. The sunset views are absolutely phenomenal!

Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5-7 have live entertainment; Friday & Saturday evenings from 5-8pm have live entertainment AND dancing!

What a nice and pretty place! I really enjoyed having breakfast here. My only disappointment is that outdoor seating was not available when I came for breakfast. I specifically wanted outdoor seating and made reservation that way. If it was not available, advanced notice would be greatly appreciated. Other than that, the food was good for the price but not the best I’ve had. This would’ve been a five star experience if we could sit outside.

Setting was fantastic. Food was delicious. Great variety on the menu. Unfortunately we had multiple service issues. One drink never arrived and we had to remind the server to bring it. Two meals arrived WAY before the third so we were totally finished eating our entrées before our daughter’s pizza arrived (20-30 mins later). Plus, no refills offered (ice tea & lemonade) during our meal. Disappointing service this time but we’ve received great service in the past so we’ll probably try again in the future.

We came for the woodfired pizza after reading reviews that were positive. However, the crust they use is like a pastry crust. Not the chewy, tasty, crust you expect for pizza. It was really quite disappointing. Kind of dry and crumbly. But the service is excellent and the patio seating, with the views and the little waterfall, can’t be beat!

I’m so happy I finally got a chance to dine at Kula Lodge after hearing about it for many years, and it did not disappoint! Our pizzas and drinks were delicious. The views and gardens are like no other place on Maui—spectacular!

We had breakfast at Kula Lodge. Great atmosphere and service. Beth was our server and provided excellent care. We so enjoyed the view and even captured a double rainbow while eating. Definitely recommend stopping in when on Maui. Our only regret was not having time in our schedule to dine there for lunch and try out the pizza.
