庫拉小屋(Kula Lodge)

I have been a big fan of this restaurant for many years and have sent many Maui visitors due to the great experiences I’ve had there with my family. I went there solo today and was made to wait close to 30 minutes for my breakfast, which when it arrived, was greasy and non-appetizing. I had ordered my omelette with wheat toast, which came late and was white not wheat. I ordered decaf coffee which came late and then a refill was never delivered. Although I had to wait quite a while for my mail to be served, the server never came by to tell me what was going on and when to expect my breakfast. Very disappointed and I’m hoping this is not an indication of the direction in which this place is going.

Restaurant view was unbelievable! The food was delicious. I had the French Onion Soup and it was the best! I also had the Crab Cakes and enjoyed them, too. My cousin had the Ribs and I had one. They were tender and had a wonderful savory flavor! The service was excellent and again I can't say enough about the overall experience! It is the full package! We were so thankful someone recommended we eat here! (Thanks Ruby!)

Many years ago when we drive up Haleakala to see the sunrise, we stumbled upon Kula Lodge on the way back down. We were freezing from standing around waiting for the sun to appear so it was a lovely welcome to arrive at the Kula Lodge to friendly staff, a crackling fire and a good breakfast. Not to mention the spectacular view. So we decided to repeat the experience on our trip to Maui this year. After welcoming the sun at the top, we drove to Kula Lodge for breakfast. We were very disappointed. Apparently the restaurant has changed hands since we last visited and man has it deteriorated. The view remains the same but nothing else. We had a reservation for 5 and arrived a few minutes early. There was a bus load of tourists already there and the host told us that he was expecting another load. He said that he'd be able to seat us but we'd have to wait for all the bus passengers to be served. At least 45 minutes. Say what? That would have been nice to know before we showed up. Nevertheless, we all agreed to wait. The server did her best to keep our coffee cups full but even though we placed our food order right way, it was still almost 90 minutes before it came to the table. To top it off, it wasn't the same decent breakfast we'd had in the past. It was mediocre at best. If you're looking for a place to refuel after watching the sunrise on Haleakala, I'd suggest skipping this place. It seems they have shifted to catering to tour companies, leaving the rest of us irritated and hangry!

One of my most favorite spots on Maui. My late wife and I could never pass it by without stopping in for a bite. Great view looking down on the central Maui valley from about 3600 feet upslope on Haleakala.

Very good food with amazingly views. The staff was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. It's so nice being up country and enjoying the outdoor dining area. Also if your lucky you'll see a chameleon walking around the property!

We were on Maui for 10 days and this was probably one of, if not the best meal we had on the island. I booked our lunch spot for a Saturday since we were planning on being in Kula for a bit and then heading up to Haleakala. We were sat right away and just LOVED the views! They were breathtaking. We didn't realize that they were serving Brunch that Saturday so we were disappointed at first because my husband really wanted their Ramen (which was not available that day). He finally caved in and got the special that day, ginger crusted ahi tuna with a light salad. It was his favorite meal!! One of my daughters got the breakfast sampler, my other daughter got a pepperoni pizza and I got a white pizza. The pizzas were made in their outdoor pizza oven and were delicious. The drinks were great and served quickly from the bar. They also had a someone playing some live music and he heard our table guessing all the songs so he played us anything from Frozen, to Metallica to Jimmy Buffet. We really enjoyed this experience!

We had a great meal at the Kula Lodge Restaurant. I believe we had their new menu which had only been in place for a few weeks. Kula Lodge is a simple place trying to be a fine dining restaurant. That's a good thing. It meant the dishes were prepared with intent and care, and were comforting at the same time. We had a more expensive dinner at a fine dining restaurant in a more popular area of Maui that was a generic good meal, but we all agreed that Kula Lodge was better. Some people in my group drove out twice during our one week trip to eat there again. The head chef came out to speak to different tables and it gave a more personal experience to the meal. The waitstaff were on point and friendly. When I come back to Maui, I will definitely come back.

Had a wonderful happy hour here at the Kula Lodge and Restaurant. The views are great and the pizza was excellent. Had the garlic prawn pizza with the garlic cream sauce. Yum! Worth the drive up country to get it! Short trail outside for views and plants. Loved it.

We always stop at the Lodge for our trip to upcountry Maui. It is a rustic restaurant with huge pizza ovens out back and a beautiful garden you can walk around and take pictures of. The view is wonderful. The downside was it was packed and it seemed like there was only one server. I could be wrong about that, but I don't think I am. She was wonderful. She kept thanking us for our patience and there really wasn't much of a delay in getting our meal. I had the cheese omlet with potatoes and the most wonderful ham I have ever had for breakfast! It was really hot, too. We were not rushed at all, even though people kept coming in. We didn't have reservations...never needed them before, but, next time, I will make some. This was on a Sunday and I think alot of the people were staying at the Lodge or locals. We haven't had a dinner there, yet, so I can't soeak to that menu. Its always our first stop in the upcountry.
