Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"It's a golf course restaurant that's probably a nice "19th" hole but as far as dinner goes it's over priced for the quality of food. Might not be bad for a burger between "9-s""

Review 6 for Pineapple Grill at Kapalua

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"Great food, great service, to bad our window overlooked the lighted tennis courts, this kind of lost our romantic dinner. Also the noise level was very energetic we had a hard time hearing our waiter explain some of the dishes. (and we are in our 40's)
For dinner we had the Wabsis encrusted Ahi which was great. We also had the Pork Chops they were fantastic. We are not Pineapple Upside down cake fans, but upon the recommendation of the waiter, we tried it. It was gone in a split second--fantastic!! This is not your mothers pineapple upside down cake--not even close. This is pure bliss."

"The food was extraordinarily good, and the service was attentive and the waiter was helpful in selecting courses and wine. We dined at several upscale restaurants while on Maui and the Pineapple Grill was the best. We dined at the Pineapple Grill twice because the other restaurants had deficits ranging from being too noisy to surprisingly poor food."

Review 16 for Pineapple Grill at Kapalua

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"When you are in Kapalua, Maui, the best place to dine is Pineapple Grill. Best because the food quality, preparation and service match that of the finest restaurants in any major US city, and best because the happy staff makes dining a pleasure. Truly an exceptional restaurant, Pineapple Grill is fortunate to have Chef Ryan Luckey, who is a master of culinary skills. My wife and I have dined at all of the major Maui restaurants, and while Gerard's in Lahaina is an outstanding French dining experience, the food is just as excellent, and occasionally even better, at Pineapple grill, and the prices more reasonable."

Review 19 for Pineapple Grill at Kapalua

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"Food at a golf clubhouse was never so good. Whether you come for lunch, dinner or drinks and snacks, you'll be happy in this casual-but-nice ambiance. It overlooks the tennis courts more than the sea, but there are views of Lanai'i in the distance. Pretty good cheese plate to finish up. I was disapointed in the Surfing Goat on the assorted cheese plate, but assume that there are other varieties from this supplier that may be more impressive."

Review 21 for Pineapple Grill at Kapalua

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"From the moment we arrived, we were attentively greeted by smiling staff eager to fulfill our requests. The bar service, our server, along with the after dinner follow up was outstanding. We were even personally greeted by the owner of the restaurant to open our bottle of wine AND greeted again on our way out to assure we were headed in the right direction on our way home.

The food was hands down the best we had on Maui (and most anywhere really) and I would highly recommend this establishment to any of my friends and family.

The Pineapple grill made our New Year's Eve special and I am so happy we made it out to that side of the island. We will definitely be back.

"Soup was too cool, wide bowl and lots of fans overhead - needed more zip in flavor
Maui is very expensive and competitive in trying to capture diners
Special fish dish was good
Overlooked tennis court - not the most interesting view
Don't miss the pineapple upside down cake- highlight of dinner
Incredible wine specials on Wed nights
Treana viog blend didn't hit the mark with me"
