"Really delicious food, relaxing yet swanky vibe and chill service. We loved everything we ordered and are excited to eat here again!!! Tried a lot of dishes, from sushi to king salmon cooked on a hot stone - did not leave a morsel behind! Keiki menu has lots of tasty options as well."
Elena
"Amazing views and amazing sushi! Literally some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. We enjoyed the sushi boat experience presented by Chef Mark. Absolutely incredible - beautiful presentation and incredibly fresh fish. If you want the perfect sunset experience on Maui, this is one of the best ones. Service was excellent, too."
Alex Masterson
"Best “hidden gem” in Wailea. Food, drinks, atmosphere, and especially the service are incredible. Pilina is probably the best hotel “lobby bar” I have ever been to. There’s an area to sit for more formal dining, but the open views to the Pacific from the bar are unmatched. Couldn’t recommend this spot more. We were able to walk in at peak hours without a reservation which was great. We canceled multiple dinner reservations over our stay to re-visit this spot."
