The Gazebo

Great food, all the mac nut pancakes are delicious. The popeye omelette is amazing. Portion sizes are big. Only drawback is long waits, but it’s worth it for the view and experience. Beautiful location with beach view, staff is great as well. Some people recommend getting a takeout and sitting at the beach view chairs outside.

What can I say except “you’re welcome”? Be ye warned: the Gazebo is small, and not ideal for groups larger than four. It’s delicious, and popular, and therefore crowded. Arrive early, or be prepared to wait. We waited almost an hour in line, but the views were great and we saw multiple humpback 🐋 whales breaching and blowing. You could be lame and call for takeout, if you feel like cheating and cutting the line, but then you’re robbed of the Gazebo experience, and are simply seen as the selfish and entitled mainlander that you are. Once inside and seated, we were treated to excellent and friendly service, quickly prepared food, and excellent views. Not to mention the best macadamia nut and banana pancakes I’ve ever eaten. The locally made coconut syrup/topping was craaazy good. It’s worth the wait; and don’t skip the mac nut pancakes. You’re welcome.

Waited about fifty minutes to get in, which felt a little too drawn out for breakfast. But honestly, once seated, the food was solid—great portions, fresh ingredients, island-style cooking done right. Service was absolutely the best, but hey, it ended up being a decent morning. Worth it if you're not in a rush.

Worth the wait. I finally understand the hype. As soon as we sat down we were offered local fruit papaya and pineapple. Both were delicious but the papaya was unreal. We ordered the combo pancakes with pineapple and bananas and they were so good. For something savory we tried the Popeyes omelette and it did not disappoint. Overall the experience was excellent and I would definitely recommend it.

Found the Holy Grail of pancakes while watching the surf and whales - white chocolate chips, bananas, macadamia nuts and coconut syrup. On a busy Thursday we arrived at 7am and we're 45th in line. We barely missed the first seating, but a table cleared at 8:00. By 7:30am nearly 70 in line. Gorgeous view, very friendly staff. Well worth it! PRO TIP: Ordered Fried Rice dish to go. Brought it back to the room for more than two lunches for the two of us.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Worth Every Bit of the Hype We arrived at The Gazebo around 7:30 AM and there was already a long line, but it moved steadily and was absolutely worth the wait. The ocean view made the whole experience even more special. I ordered the macadamia nut pancakes and my husband had the ham and egg Benedict with potatoes — both were incredible. The pancakes were fluffy, loaded with mac nuts, and the coconut syrup was unbelievably good. The Benedict was perfectly cooked and the potatoes were deliciously crispy. Beautiful setting, friendly service, and food that truly lives up to its reputation. We’d happily wait in line again.

Wonderful place, there is a cult following for the gazebo for a reason! I recommend getting there about an hour before they open if you want to be in the first round of people seated. Have one person stand in line and go explore down on the rocky shore! look at the tide pools in the lava rocks and before you know it you’ll be getting seated for an amazing breakfast!

If you’re in Maui and don’t go to The Gazebo… well, you’re missing out. Their macadamia pancakes are legendary—seriously, probably the best on the entire island. Yes, you might have to wait in line for an hour, but think of it as building up your appetite for pancake heaven. Totally worth it. Bonus points: the little souvenir kiosk next door is super cute, affordable, and genuinely Maui—perfect for grabbing a small keepsake while you drool over your pancakes. They don’t serve loco moco anymore, so forget that and go all-in on pancakes, maybe with some sweet pineapple on the side. You’ll leave happy, full, and already dreaming about your next visit.

The Gazebo Restaurant in Maui offers an exceptional dining experience that combines delicious food, generous portions, and breathtaking oceanfront views. During our visit, we indulged in the renowned banana macadamia nut pancakes topped with coconut syrup, which were light, fluffy, and absolutely delightful. The fried rice, a unique breakfast option, was flavorful and served in a generous portion. The friendly and efficient staff enhanced our experience, ensuring we felt welcome throughout our meal. It's important to note that the restaurant's popularity often results in long lines; however, the wait is well worth it. Arriving early can help minimize wait times. The Gazebo's location overlooking Napili Bay provides stunning views, making it a perfect spot to enjoy breakfast or lunch while taking in the beauty of Maui. For those seeking a memorable meal with a view, The Gazebo Restaurant is a must-visit destination on the island.

This is a long overdue review. I came here around 10ish in the morning and waited in line for 2 hours to get in. TWO hours. And I have regretted it ever since. Let's just say, the experience was beyond disappointing. I understand the restaurant is an extremely popular place and is highly recommended by others. But I truly do not share the same point of view. I ordered the fried rice and macadamia nut pancakes. - With all due respect, I have to say that the fried rice was the worst I've ever had. The rice was noticeably wet and soggy. Instead of individual grains, the rice was clumped together, making it look unappealing. Additionally, toppings were incredibly sparse. The seasoning was inadequate, resulting in a bland dish that lacked any flavor or depth. I honestly didn't think fried rice could be this bad. - As for the macadamia nut pancakes, they too were a letdown. There was nothing remarkable about them. The coconut syrup, which I anticipated would add a nice touch, was overwhelmingly sweet--too much so, to the point where it overshadowed any other flavors. Service was decent. The staff was friendly and attentive, even though the place was crowded. Sorry to say but I'd suggest finding another spot instead of waiting in line for this place.

Gazebo is a charming little restaurant nestled by the beach with a laid-back atmosphere. I had heard quite a bit about its popularity, with many mentioning long lines during brunch and lunch hours. However, when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find a few tables still available, and we were seated right away. It also helps that they offer plenty of parking, which made the experience even more convenient. The service was quick and efficient--our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made sure our order was taken promptly. As we dined, we noticed a line of people starting to form outside, confirming that this spot is indeed a local favorite. By the time we left, the restaurant was buzzing with people waiting for a table. For our meal, we decided to try the much-recommended fried rice and the Monte Cristo sandwich, accompanied by Maui chips. The fried rice was excellent--despite ordering the half-plate portion, it was more than enough. It was packed with the perfect balance of savory meat, scrambled eggs, and a delicious blend of seasonings. The Monte Cristo sandwich was equally satisfying, with layers of tender meat and cheese, sandwiched between crisp, golden bread. The Maui chips on the side added a nice, crunchy contrast, making it a well-rounded meal. All in all, Gazebo lived up to its reputation as a popular dining spot. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the relaxed atmosphere by the beach made it an ideal spot for a nice meal. If you're planning to visit, I'd recommend arriving early to avoid the crowds!

Walked up to the "To Go orders" desk and ordered 3 entrees. Server said it would be 7-10, which i naturally assumed was not possible. To my pleasant surprise, all 3 were packed up and brought to us while taking pictures of the view... within 8 min. Spanish omelet ($19.75) comes with loads of ham, tons of cheese (practically fondue over here), onions, bell peppers, avocado, salsa. This was great. Filled with protein and yet stuffed with enough cheese to kill you. Shrimp omelet ($19.75) comes with shrimp, cheese (and unhealthy amount for sure), mushrooms, onions Fried rice ($19.75 full portion) has delicious little chunks of ham and bacon pieces that were 1 inches strewn about dish. The view is lovely but we didn't want to wait over an hour for a table. No bar area either.

It was a great breakfast spot for our last day in Maui. They open at 7:30 but the line starts around 6:45 so be there early! We got there at 7:10 and waited in line for about 1.5 hrs. We've asked the people in line with if it's worth the wait and they all said it is worth it. And we are glad we did! Very generous portion. We ordered veggies omelet, eggs Benedict, and banana macadamia nut pancake. We were just really hungry, don't order this much. The waitress was really nice and sweet. You can feel when someone truly cares and enjoys doing what he/she does. The restaurant is right by the beach, you eat with the sea breeze and a great scenery. Definitely try it out when you are in Maui! (Saw some people ordering online and picking up to eat outside, we didn't know how to do that but it might be something you guys want to do to save time!)

Beautiful place, fun stop for breakfast! Of course there is a wait as others mention. We arrived at 6:30 to be second in line on a Thursday. Depends on how many people in front of you and how many in their party. Probably not worth waiting more than an hour for. But you can have someone wait in line while you wander the beach. There was some parking in the condo lot, it seemed like it filled up after we arrived. You have to walk towards the beach, around the condos (to the right) , then the restaurant is around the right corner (across from the condo pool) Staff and service are extremely efficient, to help move tables in and out. We had the Mac but pancakes, a side of Portuguese sausage, and kahuna hash. Pancakes were amazing! I liked them without the coconut syrup, otherwise it was a little sweet. Kahuna hash and Portuguese sausage were good also. Watch out for the birds while you're eating! They're not afraid to steal food.

Go early, before opening because there is always a line! Or go later in the morning because the opening rush is crazy! We were seated within 1 hour on a Saturday morning. Mixed pancakes with banana, pineapple, and macadamia nut were so amazing!!! Honestly, the portion size was so large, 2 could have split it. There were so many macadamia nuts, in real chunks! Veggies omelette was so generous with the vegetables in large chunks. Maybe chopping the veggies down more could have made it better! Pretty beach views! Parking is free!

This place is located right next to the ocean because of that we get to see a beautiful scenery while you are dining here! It's quite amazing how many people line up even before the restaurant opens up! 7:30 AM is the door open time and we came like 7:05AM and already 40+ people lined up and waiting for it!!! (That tells how good place it is) Since today is the last day for us we were thinking whether we should wait or not but the people behind us told us to stay so we waited for 1 hr 40 mins!!! I've never waited that long for my breakfast! But it was worth the wait tho! They have whole bunch of vegetarian options! We got mixed combo pancake (banana and macadamia nuts), eggs Benedict and veggie omelette! Omg, they stuffed us up so much!! Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs! For the eggs Benedict's, it was with eggs, spinach, mushroom, sliced tomatoes and melted cheese beautifully synchronizing each other and it came with steamed rice, the veggie omelette came with two slices of sour dough bread and baked fried potatoes and mixed veggies omelette which was massive! Lastly, the pancake was very fluffy and whole bunch of crushed macadamia nuts and sliced banana and whipped cream on top of it, I used the homemade coconut syrup and it was delicious! :) Oh and yes we got POG (Passion fruits, orange, guava) drink as well and it was very refreshing! Overall, it was definitely worth the experience and our seats were just next to the ocean and it was beautiful! Highly recommended! And the staff was very friendly and nice! Great service indeed! Keep up the great work! Cheers

I woke definitely come back and have their delicious coconut pancakes. They were fluffy and to die for. The coconut the syrup is one of a kind in an awesome way, and I am not a coconut fan so this says a lot! I ordered the eggs Benedict, and I had enough for 2.5 people. Super flavorful too. My friends ordered the fried rice and it was plentiful. The space a small so if you're in a larger group than 4 it may be a bit challenging, but I'm sure they will accommodate you if you call ahead because they are super friendly and accommodating. The spot is bustling and I can see why.

We really love this place. The staff are all so friendly. They explain the menu and give recommendations. The cooks in the kitchen are ready to go as soon as it opens. They are able to manufacture the food very quickly and the servers get it out just as fast. It's worth the wait. Everyone who eats there knows that there is a line so they're very mindful to eat and leave and that linger. The ambience is perfect, as it is seaside, and it is worth every penny. My husband said that it was the best bacon he had ever had. The macadamia nut pancakes with the coconut syrup are a definite hit. You will definitely leave full and likely with leftovers . This spot is a must eat.

Our waitress was really friendly, and chatted with us a bit in between service. The food was good, but oh my the portion sizes. We could have split a plate of pancakes. They're incredible, but decadent. I didn't even finish half my plate. They don't serve alcohol, which I didn't know. I would have loved a pog-mosa with my view! I totally get the hype of this place, right on the water where the whales are. They don't take reservations, it's first come first served. And this place is tinyyyy, so if you have a big group it might not work. Even 5 of us seemed like a lot.

What a hidden gem!!! This restaurant is nested behind some condos by the beach. You have to drive into the parking lot and then walk toward the beach before you will see it. This restaurant is small, but almost every table has a good view of the ocean. There will be a wait for tables. It's first come first serve. Our server was amazing, very helpful. This place has a take back and cool vibes to it. We ordered their infamous Macadamia Nut, and pineapple pancake with Coconut syrup. It was so good!! And we also ordered a Lahaina Omelets, it was good size and it was delicious as well. Definitely will come back.

We've been coming to Gazebo for many years for nostalgia reasons. Also the quality ingredients elevate dishes common to the island. Service is always aloha friendly. They get the food out quickly and always with a smile. But the real reason we come here is for the Mac Nut Pancakes. So bomb. Fresh made coconut syrup (non dairy). I think the syrup really makes the pancakes so addictive. I also learned that the creamy stuff on top of the pancakes is also freshly made and non dairy. Makes for super delicious bite after bite. We also split the Country Bennedict (sub in sausage instead of ham). The bernaise sauce made the whole dish sing. The eggs used are so fresh and tasty. And the potatoes just a nice compliment of salty crunch. I will be having this again. Pro Tip: Come earlier than 7:30 opening as seating is limited. Gazebo seats maybe 40 at most. Otherwise be prepared to wait. Parking near Gazebo is not great. They have some stalls at the very end of the lot but Gazebo is a restaurant tied to a resort so parking is super limited. I ended up parked in the neighborhood. Nice walk back when you wanna burn some calories. LOL.

My oh my oh my. Go there at least twice every time we stay on Maui. Be patient tip well and order leftovers

Came here at 7:30 AM and we waited in line for about one hour before getting sat on a Sunday morning before our flight. This was perfect timing because our flight was at 1 pm. Honestly the line was long but once you get sat and server takes your order, the food comes out in like 5 minutes. Literally 5 minutes. We were out in less than an hour. Ordered the papaya fruit so delicious! Could've done more. It's served as a half fruit w a spoon. I ordered the vegetarian Benedict and my date ordered some type of shrimp omelette - also very good The server recommended one order of pancake bc that is what they're known for so we got the macadamia nut with the coconut syrup. 'Twas perfection. I ordered their fried rice to go because that is also what they're known for and I ate this in the flight back to LA. I highly recommend trying! Just be patient with the line

The best breakfast on Maui. Their fried rice for breakfast is dynamite. The best thing is the banana Mac pancakes. The service is quick and kind and the outdoor open air gazebo looks out on the bay and whale sightings are a regular occurrence during whales season Mid December through April.

The line took about 1 hour but it was well worth it in my opinion. There is a beautiful view and the food is delicious. The fried rice was a huge portion and drizzled with their coconut sauce was a wonderful mix. The pancakes were also very fluffy and the omelettes were filled with toppings. Our waitress was an older lady who was extremely thoughtful and was very entertaining as well. This was our second time and such a good experience once again.

I thought the food tasted just ok but the views made it so much better. I've read about the long lines online, so my husband and I made a plan to call ahead to get takeout. This was much quicker than waiting for a table. We ate the food just a couple of steps away from the restaurant at a tiny table. It was facing the ocean, so it was a wonderful experience. I got the 1/2 portion of fried rice since people said the full portion is really big. Im glad I did because the 1/2 portion was still too big for me!

The Gazebo Restaurant is a super popular breakfast/brunch restaurant in Maui. We waited in line for close to an hour in the scorching sun and sadly, it wasn't worth it. The ambience was good as it was close to the waters and in a gazebo setting. The waitresses were all efficient and friendly. The food however was mediocre. One could probably get similar quality food at I-Hop or Denny's. We had the Combo Pancake(Macadamia Nut, Pineapple & Banana) and the Big Kahuna Omelette. Both dishes, although big portions were average tasting. I don't get why this place is so popular. I wouldn't mind going there if the line's not that long but in my humble opinion, not worth a long wait. Definitely, not a must-visit in view of the abundant good food in Maui.

Always a must when visiting Maui! This is a cute little spot where the food always hits. For a party of three we split the top items, White Chocolate, Bananna Macadamia Nut pancakes, Corned Beef Hash and eggs, and a half order of the fried rice. The pancakes are so popular and once you try them you'll understand why. You get two very large pancakes in each order. The fried rice is also amazing with portugués sausage, we get the half order because the full order is a ton for a small group. Lastly, this is the first time we tried the corned beef hash and eggs, and wow was that tasty! Again you can never go wrong but highly recommend the staples above. Be prepared for a little wait and possibly sprinkles. The restaurant provides umbrellas while you wait which is great. Also be sure to check out the cute souvenir store, I was able to find some rings which were great gifts! We arrive around 10:30 am on a Sunday and probably waited 30 mins, which is pretty good. Staff is always so pleasant and happy!

A beautiful restaurant by the beach. A short wait to get the table and a wonderful service. Had different options for pancake which I enjoyed.

Love this spot all the food is delicious and the staff is so friendly. It's worth the wait but it's also to cool to pick up to go!! We spent all week on Napili beach and would walk up to grab lunch and eat on the beach!!! Mahalo

This place is amazing! The food was so delicious and I fell in love with the coconut syrup! Also, the view is so relaxing and having breakfast right next to the beach is pure happiness! This places holds some of the best memories of my life!

Good, but not great. There was indeed a line when we showed up on a Thursday morning, but it moved quickly. We ordered the combo pancakes and half order of the fried rice. As the other reviews say, the portions are huge!!! I actually couldn't believe the fried rice we got was a half portion. It was hard to fathom what a full portion would look like. The fried rice was.. interesting. It wasn't bad, but the pepper flavor profile in a fried rice threw me off. It was enjoyable with hot sauce. The pancakes were good as well, with the coconut syrup. However, they didn't blow me away the way the pancakes at Ulu kitchen did, for example. Overall, very homey meal with large portions but nothing that necessarily blew me away. I was a little surprised by such a high rating, tbh. They're quick with the coffee refills but are definitely trying to move the tables along, given the line. There are a lot of birds that you must be vigilantly shooing away from your pancakes. Honestly, they kinda killed the vibe as it just feels unsanitary. Simple place for breakfast but I wouldn't wait too long for it. Much preferred Ulu Kitchen for breakfast.

Excellent service. Amazing views - no bad tables - get there early (7:00) if you want first seating. Food was good, loved their hollandaise!

Always just perfect. I never mind the wait on line. Love love love the macadamia nut pancakes. My daughter and I always split an order. They are heaven on a plate. Service is fast, friendly and efficient. Location is a little slice of paradise. I'd like to recommend some other items but I never get past those pancakes!!! My daughter loves their coffee and my sister loves the fried rice. Great little place and well deserving of being called Maui's best breakfast. I try not to eat those pancakes everyday I'm on the island, but generally, they lure me in at least three times in a week. EPIC!!

Absolutely killer breakfast spot! Beware that the line forms before it opens! We opted to get there 30 min early and felt like that was just about right - maybe could have gotten away with 20 min. We went on a Saturday so probably extra busy. It's located right on the water which is so lovely ! The restaurant itself is somewhat small, hence the line. There are a lot of little sparrows flicking around - don't feed them! Okay the FOOD!! So yummy. Let me save you the time - these portions are HUGE. If you get the breakfast fried rice you only need a half serving. My husband and I got the full serving as well as pancakes and it was insane the amount of rice leftover. We took it home and had plenty of leftovers for dinner that night - yummy too when reheated! So def get the fried rice and we also liked the banana mac nut pancakes as the sweet contrast to the savory rice. The servers were super nice and helpful and the food comes out quick. While things move fast, they are never rushing you. Would love to come back here again!

Delicious pancakes and super filling omelettes with a great view. The wait is pretty long, waited about an hour but it was worth it. They also have a small boutique store you can check out while you wait. Staff was nice expect the last that took us to our table, she was very rude.

One of the very few places on Maui where you can get some vegan options for breakfast is the Gazebo restaurant. The food was freshly made and tasted good. The burger could've tasted better but the omelette was pretty tasty and delicious. The service was quick and the location is cute!

This restaurant was super close to Napili beach so we decided to try them for lunch. We were very pleased! The portions are large so get half orders or plan on sharing. The four of us tried to eat a half order of their signature fried rice and we could not finish it. The fried rice had onions , eggs, and ham and was outstanding. We also shared the macadamia nut pancakes which were delicious. Our service was fast and helpful! We will be back!

Food, especially the potato's and pancakes. The ambiance is awesome as it is classic Hawaii. Kevin's and Karen's stay away as there is a line in the hot sun, but couples will be seated quicker than groups. definitely a do again. get the fried rice dish and don't complain about the calories.

Let me preface this by saying that this is not the best breakfast place I've ever been to but it might be the best breakfast place on Maui. So we came on a Wednesday morning, thinking it might not be that busy. Wrong. This place is busy every morning! We got there at 7am and there were already 4 groups ahead of us. Note the restaurant only has maybe 10-12 tables fitting only 2-4 people so if you have a big group, come early. It rained a little while we were waiting but they had umbrellas there for use so that was nice. By the time it opened, the line was around the corner to the grassy area. The nice thing is that the wait staff is real nice and they're very quick. My kids got the breakfast burrito and the mac nut pancakes. We got a small portion of the fried rice with an egg over easy and the combo pancakes. Like I said, the food came out quickly but not because it was poorly cooked. It was all great. First, the fried rice. Super flavorful, well cooked with a cornucopia of meats. Maybe a little salty but very tasty. I didn't try the burrito but it was huge and my kid did as much damage to it as he could. The pancakes were fluffy and not too sweet which was good. The syrup they had was a little too sweet so it's a little extreme one way or another. All in all, we all loved it and would definitely come back again.

The Gazebo is definitely a hot spot for breakfast. Sure, you may have to wait in line, but look at the spectacular oceanview-- priceless. The staff is well aware of the chaos and high traffic of customers and handle it like bosses. Big smiles, positive energy, answer any/all questions like the back of their hand. They run a tight ship and deliver 100%.

We arrived within an hour after opening and there was already a line. But it did move fairly quickly and we were able to be seated with it and a half hour I'd say. We ordered family style so we can try a little bit of everything including the famous pancakes (banana and white chocolate Mac nut), the big kahuna omelette, and fried rice. I didn't care much for the coconut syrup but the whipped cream complimented the pancakes very well. As for portions, they're massive! We got a half order of the fried rice and it looked like a regular size. The service is quick, but could be more attentive. Perhaps it was because we sat in the corner by the bathroom but even when we asked for a coffee refill, they forgot. That aside, I'd recommend getting here bright and early to secure parking and avoid a long line.

This was our first time and we were so glad we came here. So many people give positive praise about this restaurant so I'm glad we made it here. We were told there's always a wait. It was not a problem for us because I got to shop at the little kiosk next to the restaurant. The prices were so much better than stores! I got a cute dog collar and wind chime. Back to the restaurant...we were able to sit right by the window and saw MANY whales. The food was delicious and the service was great. I would love to come back to try their fried rice. It's definitely worth the wait!

We decided to come on a Sunday morning to celebrate my husband's birthday. The line was quite long because EVERYONE loves this place. The great thing is they get your food out to you quickly so turnover is pretty quick. Be patient if you want to eat here. Our server Sherry remembered us from our previous visit 2 years ago This made us truly feel like we're part of the Gazebo Ohana! When she heard me say it was hubby's birthday, she was sure to make it a special breakfast! Our food was delicious, served up hot and we only waited at max 10 minutes for our food. You can BYOB if you'd like to have champagne with breakfast. My Lahaina eggs were delicious and hubby loved the macadamia nut and banana pancakes. With such sweet hospitality and great food, we will definitely be back!

Located at one of the most picturesque spots in kaanapali, this restaurant doesn't have plenty of seating and the wait can get long. Which was the case when we showed up at famished at 10:30am and decided to place a takeout order and eat in our car. I have never had a fluffier tastier pancake, an absolute must try! It comes with coconut whipped cream and sprinkle of macadamia nuts. The humble chicken burger was also one of the most delicious i've had. Will be returning when in Maui next time.

This place is a hidden food gem. There is a line all of the time. I'm told there is no line from 12-2p. If you're looking to get away from the typical resort breakfast, this is your place. The food is delicious! My sister & I shared the Big Kahuna omelette, the half order of fried rice (which can easily be shared amongst a table of 4), and a "mixed" pancake which is banana, pineapple, and macadamia nut. Be sure to try the coconut syrup! Sherry (waitress) has been with the Gazebo for years and is an absolute doll. She makes you feel welcome and made us laugh by some of the practical jokes she played on the surrounding tables. Would absolutely return to this place. Don't let the location fool you. It's located in an odd place, behind an old hotel yet it's right next to the ocean and has a lovely view. There are no cocktails or alcohol of any type served here however you come for the food, Sherry, & to support this historical small business. Great job, Gazebo!

Let me start by saying we've been here before and the food was good. We are not really breakfast fans but lunch was great. The place is packed as always. We only waited about 5 minutes so that was fine. The service was stellar. The food not so much. I had a tuna melt on rye. It was dry and yet so greasy at the same time. Hubs had the shrimp melt which he said was underwhelming. The potato salad was good. I realize an open air restaurant can't do anything about the plethora of little birds in the restaurant. I like birds, just not landing on the table and crapping. Overall, there's so many place around, we probably won't be back for a while. It was just meh.

Favorite place to eat breakfast in Maui!! The Mac nut banana pancakes are a must!!! Don't be afraid of the line! It moves quickly and it worth the wait:)

Came here early, right at 7:30 when they open and were seated in about 10-15 minutes. You will see signs for restaurant parking in the resort area and signs leading down to the restaurant. It's tiny inside - so I could see how they would have a long wait. Service was exceptional! They had 4-5 people working the tables - water, coffee refills, taking orders, etc. View/setting is amazing! Beautiful beach views and oh so peaceful! Food was good. We had the big kahuna omelette, the pancake sampler, and the fried rice. Food is fine, but the service and view are the real stars here.

What a classic Maui restaurant with all the funky decorations The food is so good! I highly recommend the Shrimp stir fry rice It is a big order so consider the half order. The absolute best part of my dining experience was my server, Lily Perez!! WOW What an incredible young lady and Maui built! I would go again just to sit in her section.

Local breakfast food hidden within a hotel. This gazebo is literally a gazebo with limited seating. They open at 7:30 but if you don't wait in line at 7:00, you won't be seated in the first round. It is all outdoor seating under the gazebo, so be aware of brave birds that come to your table for crumbs and bread. We shared family style banana pancakes, white chocolate chip Mac nut pancakes, fried rice, and the big kakuna omelette. The side order of Portuguese sauce it's extremely over priced for 4 pieces, $6!!! Corn beef hash was also $6 for a side order. I personally enjoyed the fried rice and banana pancakes. There is a coconut pancake sauce at the table but I think their whipped cream was enough and made the pancakes taste delicious. The coconut sauce was too sweet for my liking. Overall, great family spot for local breakfast food. Come early though and wait 30 minutes to avoid waiting 60+ minutes!

Alright folks, here's the lowdown on The Gazebo--a tiny adventure off the beaten path. To get there, you've got to park in a hotel/motel lot, walk through an apartment complex, and voilà, it's right by the water next to a swimming pool. Talk about a hidden gem with a twist! We found this spot on Yelp with glowing reviews and decided to give it a shot after a swim at Kapalua Bay. We showed up around 1 p.m., an hour before closing, and only had two parties ahead of us. You have to wait outside, but they do give you umbrellas to shield you from the sun. No seating though, unless you fancy lounging by the pool away from the line. Now, the big question: is it worth the wait? If you're staring down a long line, I'd say no. If the line's short and options are slim, maybe. The location is cute, like a gazebo with an open-air feel, ocean breeze, and views of snorkeling folks and fancy condos. Instagram gold, but the food? Meh. I ordered the chicken plate. Bland chicken, a side of mushrooms and grilled onions, a huge salad, and some white rice. Nothing to write home about. My wife's corned beef hash and eggs? Equally unimpressive. Basic, basic, basic. The saving grace? The macadamia nut pancake with coconut syrup. The syrup was delicious, though the pancake itself wasn't anything special. There are probably other items on the menu that might be better. We saw some ladies with a giant plate of fried rice that looked good, and they had leftovers! But, here's the big whammy: the little birds. These feathered fiends fly all over the dining area, swooping in on plates, stealing food while people are eating, and generally being a nuisance. One even left a "gift" on our table after strutting around. It's a health hazard and seriously annoying to have to shoo birds away while trying to enjoy your meal. So, is The Gazebo a must-visit? For us, not really. Free parking is a plus, but the wait and the birds? Not worth it for what we ordered. Maybe give it a shot if you're craving that fried rice or want a scenic Instagram post. Otherwise, you can probably find a better spot. Just keep an eye on your food and watch out for those pesky birds!

The wait was so long so I was very excited thinking it was going to be so delicious! Food was NOT good. Felt like I was in an 80's diner. Tourism feeds into too many of these meh places - don't fall into this tourist trap. The rainbow outside was the only nice thing.

We came here again for brunch after so many years and we got seated right away . We ordered the tuna melt and shrimp omelette . Tuna was cold. Staff were friendly.

The long line is worth the wait. I've been eating there, every time I go to maui, for the last 30 years. Best macadamia nut pancakes and pog!

Got in line around 10:21 and waited about a hour! The line formed where the lounge chairs and the wall met. They don't take names down so they'll seat whoever is at the front of the line first. We were lucky that a table with a view opened right when it was our turn- truly beautiful to overlook the ocean with breakfast! The waitresses were so kind and sweet and very attentive. They told us the specials - macadamia banana pancake and the fried rice. We weren't too hungry and opted to share the macadamia banana pancake, corned beef hash and pineapple spears. The food came out quick and I love how they split the pancakes for us. Boy oh boy the pancakes do live up to the hype! They're so fluffy, soft, and the coconut syrup that comes with it is the perfect sweet touch. I'm glad I got to try gazebo and the pancakes although I probably wouldn't want to do the line again.

Really cute place with awesome views and a friendly efficient staff. We split the big kahuna Omlet and macadamia nut pancakes. The pancakes were nice and light. The big kahuna was the star (including the name). The onions were sautéed just enough without being slimy, bacon wasn't greasy and the Portuguese sausage was chopped to the perfect size. Lots of other tables were getting the fried rice which also looks tasty.
