Wailea Kitchen - Farm to Table Organic Menu with Vegan & Vegetarian Options - Kihei, Hawaii

We made reservations for 5, very nice server but we waited for our dinner for an hour and a half.
The food was delicious but so long in coming with so many apologies that we were ready to walk out. Not sure what happened but the server was constantly apologizing for the kitchen. Very disappointing.
We will try again and hopefully all will be excellent because the food was great.
We ordered onion rings, veggie’s, eggplant parmigiana, mushroom caps, portobello, tacos, all very delicious.
If you struggle with managing stairs, this is not the place to go. Difficult walk from the parking lot.

Let me begin by sharing the passionate Mission of Wailea Kitchen: "Everything on earth survives off of another living thing but it is not good to imprison or torture animals. We vote with every dollar we spend. Therefore we choose to vote locally with hunters, fishermen and farmers."

The food is so thoughtfully prepared & delicious!!!! We started with the Dakine Brussel Sprouts, $16 (omg!) & the WK Nachos, $24 (OMG!!!!). We couldn't wait for dinner... but wait we did. Over an hour for our food to arrive & it was not busy when we ordered.

I ordered the WK Tacos w/ jackfruit ($22 + $6) & they were the BEST tacos I've ever had. I have to mention that this price was for 2 tacos... no sides, just 2 tacos. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the WK Enchiladas with Miso Soy Curls ($33 + $6). My daughter, being a purist, ordered the keiki vegan alfredo (a double portion, $14 x 2) that they forgot to add the cashew cream to so it was ultimately onion/garlic noodles with olive oil. Average at best.

OVERALL: The staff was VERY friendly. The drink/food service was slow... had the server come back after the meals were delivered we could've possibly corrected the alfredo-less pasta.
The prices were VERY high however we felt good supporting a restaurant like this. Also note that 22% gratuity is automatically added ~ which may be reason for the slower service.

A few suggestions: If the menu is vegan/vegetarian by design present it should be as such. List "suggested proteins" (meats/fish etc...) opposed to featuring them.

If a menu item is vegan or can easily be made vegan it should be indicated with a V. It was very confusing having only a few items listed that way & then needing to clarify with the server.

Absolutely 200% worth it. Amazing and informative tour of the farm and the food was outstanding. You can tell the staff is passionate about what they do. They sit you at this long table along with the other guests. Great opportunity to meet new and interesting people.

Love love LOVED it. Amazing views and ambiance. Our waitress was so kind and helpful. She helped us choose dishes that suited our vegan diet. There are so many options here for vegans, vegetarians with the option to add animal based protein if you wish. Everything was cooked to perfection. Properly seasoned without too much spice or salt. The chocolate dessert is to die for....a must have. I have eaten at so many restaurants and this is by far one of the best ever. We will be back!

Even though this menu is a majority vegetarian and vegan friendly there are still some dishes with fish and meat, so don’t be deterred from dining here. This restaurant is a must to visit while in Wailea. The location is a bit hidden by the tennis courts, but it’s well worth the dining experience.

We ordered the following dragon fruit Margarita, Aiko's Onion Rings, Manu's Roaster, Vegan Spicy Chipotle Nachos, Jackfruit Tacos, and Toffee Espresso Cheesecake. All items were delicious. My margarita tasted so fresh and love how they don’t used simple syrup in their drinks. I’m not a vegetarian or vegan, but I like all foods, and this was a pleasant surprise for us. We definitely will be dining here next time.

Kelsey was an awesome server for us! Thank you for an amazing dinner.

Amazing for dietary restrictions such as vegetarian, vegan, dairy free, or gluten free. However it doesn't have to be! I got amazing vegan enchiladas and they tasted better than normal enchiladas. Really delicious food and gorgeous view, great customer service as well.

Absolutely blown away. Every food item was out of this world. The drinks exceptional. I am a vegetarian and my friends kindly accompanied me, even for the meat eaters were raving. They have locally sourced, organic meat and fish for the carnivores. The sunset view, open air atmosphere was the impressive cherry on top. Outstanding establishment. Highly recommend!

The food at this unassuming bar is excellent. The wait staff was very attentive and it’s a casual place you can unwind. The margaritas were made with fresh ingredients (no mixers) and were exceptional. Our kids enjoyed Maui Root Beer and they serve it in a frosted mug which was a really nice touch. We came back several times during our stay for casual meals and the food was excellent. Their ahi poke bowl was fresh and delicious — I highly recommend it along with the Sunset Fries — spicy and flavorful.
