KAPA Bar & Grill

I can’t give a lower review than this. Zero quality checks, zero attempt at hospitality, zero attempt to refill cocktails, the bartender Forced us to give a CC to “ensure we wouldn’t run out” - no thank you’s. Nothing. Bartender Brian and server Linda should be encouraged to find new work. Worst experience in Maui. Over 200 usd / do not waste your money and come here

KAPA was a great experience as we were staying at the resort. We were seated right away, and were and were served very quickly. We had both the Mahi Mahi (catch of the day) and the chicken and both were amazing!

Bryant was absolutely incredible. His energy was fun, welcoming, and genuinely inviting. You can tell right away that he takes pride in what he does. As a true local, he was not only knowledgeable about the island but also took the time to share thoughtful recommendations that we ended up trying, and every single one was spot on. We ordered a few items to share, including the Local Hawaiian Ceviche and the Wailea Sashimi Platter (we were so hungry we forgot to take photos!), and both were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, thanks to Bryant’s guidance. Oh and the delicious drinks! Can't forget those delicious yet refreshing drinks! What really stood out was how trustworthy and sincere he was. Sometimes you come across recommendations that feel like a gamble, but not with Bryant. Everything he suggested, delivered. No Ka ʻOi (truly the best). Mahalo, Bryant, for making our visit such a memorable one. Because of you, we’ll definitely be stopping by again the next time we’re back on Maui. He deserves recognition for his professionalism, his vibrant personality, and the genuine care he shows to his guests. (The view at sunset was 😍beautiful)

EAT here! They have a vegan menu and are super accommodating; more importantly the food is (a bit overpriced but) delicious!! This is honestly the best option I have found for nicer resort dining with a robust vegan/vegetarian friendly menu. They easily beat out most of the others. The Thai crunch noodles with tofu are awesome - I have come back like three times this vacation just to have them. Somehow it's light (ish) but really flavor-packed and fresh. They also have vegan chorizo tacos on their lunch menu and the spring rolls with added tofu are fab. Highly recommend for families with mixed dietary needs.

Kappa Signature top shelf Mai Tai did the job! 3pm lunch on Monday. Great music from the pool and great service. Food was quick and tasted great. Came the night before and staff was not as welcoming. Hand roll: 8/10 - great Catch of the day taco: 5/10 - would pass Top shelf Mai Tai: 10/10 Would recommend for a quick bite, not dinner or anything unless casual. Cynthia (server) was amazing.

Disclaimer before giving my review: This is resort/hotel food, so quality is not a fine dining place neither a specialty restaurant. Based on this, and with experience in “restaurant of the house” this was not bad. Quality is good, the food is small portions and high prices. But had very good taste. We went for appt and drinks before going to the beach. The drinks were good, great balance in alcohol and mixers. In general was a good surprise because the expectations were low. This was a lunch time, and pretty empty, probably majority people staying in the hotel, so nothing vibrant. The only thing for me is the plastic cups and glasses. That cheap any place. And for the price, please.

If you're in the hotel, you have to take an elevator and poke around to find this place. The view is amazing. Live music started while I was there. Staff is friendly and legitimately seem to enjoy their jobs and like their coworkers. Food was fine. The drinks were amazing, tho!

Went because of the ratings. Not always the experience you expect. We arranged our first day on the island to be here at sunset. Great view. Good ratings on Google Maps. Overpriced (even by resort standards). We sat at the bar to take in the sunset (which was gorgeous). But $23 for a signature cocktail is a little steep. We had a large late lunch, so settled on some appetizers for dinner. We got the coconut shrimp (three large shrimp) and the Korean Fried Chicken Bites. The shrimp was about average, but the chicken was interesting. A combination of sweet and spicy (which is always a hit in my book), and a larger portion than I was expecting. $150 for appetizers and cocktails? I'll let you be the judge.

We went here almost every day of our stay and we were really impressed by the ahi sandwich, ahi bowl and more. We didn't try everything on the menu. Also they have different menus for lunch and dinner. The lunch shrimp tacos is to die for. As we you can eat in the restaurant or enjoy their meals at the pool.

We had a great experience here. The waiters were extremely attentive, and came very often to refill drinks. The food was fine for the price point. I thought it was pretty creative how the restaurant stretches around the pool. I came twice and had a great experience both times.
