The beginning did not start well when we asked the server about Happy Hour that we saw on the entrance sign. She said “No Happy Hour is only from 5-6”. When mentioned we just read it she said No and rudely repeated herself (see the lies on the entrance sign in photo). We ordered the calamari appetizer. When it came out it only had 8 superthin rings and a few tentacles, barely anything on a huge bed of lettuce. We ordered two of their bistro burgers. They asked what temp. We ordered one medium rare and one medium. Both came out well done with zero pink. The final worst part was my wife slipping on the slippiest wet steps with zero grip or signs warning how slippery. We left disappointed and injured.
Update: Aloha, after reading the reply I added a star. For the most part we enjoyed our time there until the injury. But the food was overpriced, not prepared well, and small portions. One of the reasons we went was because of the brag of longest Happy Hour. Please update your sign for actual Happy Hour times. It literally states “Happy Hour 11am 6pm & 9pm to 12am”. If the 9 to 12 happy hour does exist erase it off of your sign. Also acknowledge that it says that. Maybe do not ask “how you would like your burger cooked” if it will be cooked well-done anyways. That was also the smallest appetizer order of Calamari we had ever seen. I understand it does not rain often. But some grippy tape would be very beneficial. We slipped coming up the stairs and one drink later, sober, slipped leaving. Our only person of contact was our waitress that was obviously having a bad night and was not gracious or welcoming. I do not leave bad reviews often but this experience left a bad taste in our mouths. Please make an effort to provide a safe establishment no matter the weather.

Went to this place 2x for Happy Hour during my stay in Maui.
They have a special Happy Hour Drink Menu with a small choice of beer, wine and Cocktails.
Since Hawaii is an expensive place in general happy hour prices seem to be fair 🙂

service was good and staff was attentive.
We had no food, so I cannot provide feedback here.

Als very nice, the live music they have. We enjoyed this very much.

What a night to remember! Wonderful, friendly service, delicious (like, seriously Yummy) food, and plenty of laughs & great entertainment courtesy of Tripp Wilson! Our party got the half plate of Huli Huli chicken & the island burger. The food was delicious, portions were more than enough, and the drinks were delicious! Mahalo for a fantastic evening – one to remember for sure!

So excited to finally have a steak dinner that was affordable. Boy was i disappointed, not once but twice. First night, sat down and ordered blackened steak dinner. After about 10 minutes, the waitress returns to tell me that the steak is not quality and the cook is not happy to serve it. Bummer, but appreciate the honesty. I asked if they will have tomorrow, she said yes. Return second evening, but asked first if they had steak available before seating. She went and talked to the cook, only to return to tell me they are out for few days now. So not only did they not have steak in stock both evenings but then lied about the reason for not having it. I’ve had some great food and service on Maui, but would recommend stearing clear of Ohana’ Island.

If you want amazing food, filled with friendly locals, and phenomenal music, you need to come here. Tripp Wilson, the owner, is so kind and hospitable, anyone that tells you different is the one with the bad attitude. We had the pleasure of meeting Lori as well, you may see her up singing with Tripp or busing tables on a busy Saturday night. It is right on the main strip in Kīhei and just all around a total vibe. It really turned our trip from feeling like tourists, to feeling right at home. 10000000000000000000000/10!!!

Stopped in to enjoy a few cocktails and live music. We were so disappointed in our experience. Our server took 10-15 minutes to take our drink order and it was another 10-15 before we actually received our drinks. Meanwhile folks around us were receiving equally terribly service with many walking out and/or not eating their food and drinks altogether because it was bad. The redeeming part was the outdoor atmosphere and live music. The mojito was too sweet and the old fashion was fine but wasn’t what we ordered. For the price of the cocktails we had higher expectations.

The yummiest and most fun place to eat in Maui! The food is delicious, specially Chef Dianne’s Opakapaka’s fish dish!! The servers are lovely and attentive, even on busy hours! Our waters were always filled! And you won’t ever be failed by the great singer and entertainer Tripp Wilson! Definitely a must-go place during your Hawaiian holidays!

Our experience at Ohana’s Island Bistro & Music was unfortunately disappointing overall.

The food felt like typical bar food and was significantly overpriced for the quality and portion size. While we understand that prices across the island tend to be higher, this particular meal did not justify the cost. To make matters worse, our food came out cold, which further took away from the experience.

That said, the live music was enjoyable and created a fun atmosphere, and the service was friendly and attentive. Those were definitely the highlights of the evening and the main reasons for the two-star rating.

For us, it seemed to cater more to an older crowd, and in hindsight, we likely would have preferred trying the food trucks across the street or heading back to Paia for dinner. If we were to return, it would probably be for drinks and live music rather than the food.

It pains me to say this because we have always eaten at Ohana’s multiple times per visit to Maui and loved it, but it has changed, and not for the better. Turns out, there are new owners as of the end(ish) of 2024 and it shows. The service was not good, which in defense of the staff, I suspect was due to the insufficient number of servers. I’m sure they’re doing their best and I get the whole island time situation, but waiting 20ish minutes just to order is not a good look. Finally ordered only to be told that they were out of multiple items we ordered. Mind you, it’s 6:30 on a Wednesday night, not late, and not a Friday or Saturday. We adapted. One meal was delivered, followed up by our server asking if everything was ok. Well, I’m missing my meal, so…

The food is fine, but the vibe is not, and ultimately that’s a management issue. I’m bummed because we always recommend Ohana’s, in fact I recommended it twice at the airport for newcomers.

So disappointed.
