"A celebrated Maui restaurant helmed by a chef rooted in local, multigenerational foodways; it reflects island flavors and traditions such as freshly caught ahi poke, combination plates of kalua pig and laulau with house-made poi, shave ice around ice cream, and straightforward grilled and comfort dishes that inform the chef’s broader cookbook work. The restaurant’s ethos—drawing from family history, plantation-era realities, and contemporary techniques—shapes approachable recipes spanning breakfast fried rice to hibachi-style grilled mains." - Eater Staff
