Coastal Elegance Overlooking the Pacific

Perched along the rugged Wailea coastline, Olivine serves as a sophisticated gateway to Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. The space is defined by an open-air architecture that invites the salt-sprayed breeze inside, creating a seamless transition between the manicured resort grounds and the raw, volcanic backdrop of the Maui shore.

Signature Flavors of the Islands

The culinary philosophy here centers on fresh, locally sourced ingredients transformed through coastal European techniques. Guests often gravitate toward the house-made pastas and wood-fired pizzas, which arrive at the table with the smoky aroma of kiawe wood. The menu highlights sustainable seafood, with daily catches prepared to emphasize the clean, briny notes of the Pacific. Expect a refined wine list curated to balance the zesty profiles of their signature small plates.

The Atmosphere

This is a destination for those who prefer their sunset drinks with an unobstructed view of the horizon. As the sky shifts from gold to deep violet, the ambient noise of clinking wine glasses and distant waves creates a rhythmic, relaxed soundtrack. While the service remains attentive and professional, keep in mind that the popularity of the sunset hour can occasionally lead to a busy, high-energy environment. It is the ideal backdrop for a milestone dinner or a quiet evening soak in the quintessential Maui lifestyle. The layout ensures that no matter where you are seated, the expanse of the ocean remains the primary focus of your dining experience.

Had a great lunch here while we waited for our room. The spaghetti with the meatballs added were so good. Not pictured was the sausage pizza - amazing with really good crust. Thank you to April for taking care of us, she was awesome.

The Food: I stopped in for a quick bite specifically to try the Crab Pizza. It was excellent—you can tell they use a proper high-heat oven (likely wood-fired or brick), giving the crust a great texture and taste. ​The Experience: ​Seating: We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to walk in without an issue. ​Atmosphere: The restaurant has a really nice vibe, relaxing and open. Best of all, we enjoyed a good view toward the ocean while we ate. ​Verdict: Great food, great view, and easy access. Perfect for a casual meal in Wailea.

Went to Olivine for lunch during our stay at the Grand Wailea. Easily accessible from the resort grounds or the beachfront walkway. Handicap accessible through a ramp at the entrance. We were seated immediately (had a reservation though), but it wasn't very busy at noon. Nice, stylish atmosphere, warm colors in an airy space. Great views of the pool area and the ocean front. Beautiful. Welcoming, attentive and friendly waitress took our orders, dishes were served quickly at a perfect pace. Food was nicely plated, very tasty. Very good quality overall, but not at an exceptional level. Only disappointment was the limoncello dessert with dragon fruit jelly, bland taste, almost no lemon flavor and too sweet, hence only 4 star rating. Resort prices unsurprisingly, but well priced in general. The daily resort F&B credit can be used here. Recommended, would definitely return! Tip: the bill is coded as Grand Wailea Resort, choose wisely which credit card to use. Double tip by making a reservation via Open Table.
