“ Went here for my 23rd birthday! I made a reservation same day and requested nicely if we could get a view of the beach and they did not disappoint! It felt so nice and special being on the 2nd floor and looking at the sunset. Food was fresh and delicious! Would definitely recommend, but would also say if you can, get a reservation ahead of time! Not too difficult and it guarantees you a time! ”
“ Had a lovely dinner for my partners birthday. We both had fish which was lovely and great and prepared well. They comped our desert for his birthday which was a lovely gesture. Great views of the ocean so if you can go for sunset it would be lovely. I’d say for the price they could work on the food presentation but a minor point really, it’s the taste that matters! ”
“ First time in Maui even first time in Hawaii. Decided to go to the Whalers Village as my only meal had been a Musubi Roll so wanted to experience the full Maui experience. Absolutely loved my time at Leilani's on the Beach, casual dining area (there's two different sections). My bento box of all things nice was delicious and the beer I had was the perfect brew to match it with. Had a coffee as well as the glorious sun began to set. The waitress I had, was an absolute star as well, friendly and charming. 100% satisfaction! ”
“ We made a reservation in advance so they sat us upstairs, very nice view! Very quick, everything was very nice especially our server lady forgot her name but she was awesome! This place is good as it can be here!! We had a Maui fresh salad, Cesar salad, hummus, steaks, calamari, sea food pot and some fish dish and a pie! Very good! ”
