    Had a fantastic dinner last night with my husband and toddler at a cozy upcountry Maui spot. The vibe was intimate yet casual, perfect for our family. The drinks were amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection, and our server, Ben, was attentive and kind. Can’t wait to return!

    Lighting is too bright. It would be great if they could dim the recessed lights.

    I recently visited Makawao Public House and was thoroughly impressed! The highlight of my meal was definitely the Fish of the Day, a perfectly crusted Mahi that was fresh and flavorful. I also tried the Makawao Steak House plate, and it did not disappoint. The steak was cooked to perfection and came with delicious sides that complemented the dish beautifully. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Makawao Public House for a delightful dining experience!

    Our first time eating here, had heard good things from friends. Food was great! The fish special was the best mahi my husband has had - and he’s had a lot! I had the pan seared chicken with mashed potatoes, and it was excellent! Service was good, family atmosphere. Will be back!
