While waiting for this restaurant to open, we sat in the car during a quick downpour and then surfaced as the sun and rainbow appeared. This experience was complimented by a lovely meal of innovative appetizers, cocktails, and then knock-your-socks-off desserts. It was a perfect early supper for two best friends on a Hawaiian adventure. Am returning to Maui this... More

I would fly to Maui, drive just to Haliimale General store(not really a store) for this dessert...WOW! I love dessert but not a fan of creme brulee but this is one exception I would make again...the organic fruit the wafer base and the creme was superb beyond superb! It is more upscale than I thought in the middle of no... More

Bev Gannon's upcountry restaurant is well known and deservedly so. She has inventive island dishes and good drinks. The service is good. Naturally, the prices are not cheap. Also, the restaurant is isolated up country. But it's worth the trip.

We had a great lunch in a charming place with excellent service. I highly recommend it. So why the very good instead of excellent? The fries. I'm an adventurous eater. If there's fruit bat curry or palm beetle larvae on the menu I'll try it pretty much every time. That said, there are things that oughtn't to be messed with,... More

We stopped here at the recommendation of some friends and after a day on the volcano. The food was fantastic and service was excellent. A must stop if in Maui.

Our second time at the General Store in Upcountry and it did not disappoint. Wonderful preparations of seafood (the onaga was outstanding) along with the kalua pork enchilada pie with mole. Very unusual creations from the chefs. Don't miss it. Check out the artwork around the restaurant. Well worth the drive and away from the tourist traps on Maui.

We learned of the restaurant from some local residents in Makawho. Excellent meal with wine and festive atmosphere. Service was spot on and the entire experience was awesome. Definitely will return during our future annual visits to Maui!

You can't go wrong here. Fish, meats, salads all robustly satisfying, yet with subtle flavor accents. Leave room for dessert!

We had seen the hype for this restaurant but considered it to be too expensive. When they offered the Mondays in May, half off entrees promotion, we decided to give it a try. The service was not very smooth at the start, since our salad arrived ahead of the wine. The HGS salad was ok, but not the greatest, as... More

On our first visit, this still felt like a general store. It's gotten corporate and professional, and is now a part of a Hawaiian food empire. The servers are well-trained and excellent. The food isn't quite as inventive as it was ... the onset of corporatism? Still, it's a gem in the middle of a sugar plantation, and unexpectedly good.... More
