Paniolo Lounge

Sometimes there aren't a lot of options. This restaurant is fine, but I didn't love it. I appreciated it was open and serving acceptable food. It just wasn't "great" in any dimension. The lighting was a little harsh, there were a lot of TVs on, and everything was pretty mundane. I thought the Hana ranch restaurant would be a good place to try Hana beef. So we ordered a burger and asked for it rare. But that's more an option, because it's a "smash burger". I have had good smash burgers but this wasn't one. Overcooked was the only option. Quite disappointing. If we are there again I'd try something else so I may yet fine their strength for me. But I wouldn't eat there unless it was the only option, which sometimes it is, I guess :)

It's a great place to stop and eat when visiting Hana. The outdoor patio is covered and offers stunning views while dining. The food is good although a bit on the pricey side for what it is, probably due to the remote nature of this community. Service at front counter was prompt and friendly. They ask for a phone number even though there was no wait. I hope that my number isn't used for marketing texts or being sold for marketing since it wasn't being used to alert when a table was ready. Our waiter was a little less than attentive when a food preparation request was acknowledged but not written down for the kitchen staff. Waiter was not as warm and friendly as hoped for.

The service and ambience is good. We were disappointed with Brussels sprouts. It’s supposed to be crispy and not charred. The chicken and fries were good.

The view is awesomefrom the patio and food is very fresh. The poke from lunch appetizer is amazing. The chicken sandwich even had a piece of pineapple in it which made it very flavorful with a tropical twist. The ahi sandwich is cooked right.

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was incredibly delicious, every dish was fresh and full of flavor. The ocean view from the patio was breathtaking — the perfect place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. On top of that, the staff was genuinely warm, attentive, and friendly. One of those places you never want to leave. Highly recommend!

If you want excellent food, this is a great place for it. Their Ahi Tuna sandwich was wonderful. I would highly recommend it. They have an outdoor patio seating with a wonderful view.

Delicious food - we had the burger w/ fries and pork sandwich w/ salad. Highly recommend both! Great service. Clean. Beautiful view of the ocean. Perfect spot for food and relaxation on the road to Hana. All staff were very friendly and sweet! Highly recommend!!

The shortribs were the best, being absolutely delicious. But the catch of the day and poke was also very good. Super nice staff.

I stopped by this restaurant recently and was seriously impressed. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, the staff attentive without being overbearing, and the food came out quick and fresh. The highlight for me was definitely the pulled pork burger—it was packed with flavor, perfectly tender, and had just the right balance of smoky and savory. The portion was generous without being overwhelming, and every bite was delicious. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone, especially if you’re craving a pulled pork burger done right.

A beautiful stop for lunch after driving 3 hours from Kihei. The service was excellent and the food was amazing with very generous portions. We each got a delicious non-alcoholic cocktail and shared their best dessert, the cookie dough sundae! We will be dreaming of that dessert for a long time!
