"Pineapple Grill Kapalua, PACIFIC ISLAND. If you only had one night to eat on the island of Maui - this is the place to eat. Executive Chef Joey Macadangdang (a protégé of Roy Yamaguchih of Roy's Restaurant is a genius with combining Asian/Filipino ingredients into culinary masterpieces. In fact, eat here at the beginning of your Maui trip, you are definitely going to want to come back!"

"The first time I visited The Pineapple Grill with Tom Bell our Managing Director, I was hooked! What I look for in a great restaurant is great food, great service, great ambiance and most of all consistency. I have been back many times and I have always had a great dining experience."

What a pleasure to share with you my continued anticipation & excitement of coming to the pineapple Grill many times over. The setting is outrageous…views to the West Maui Mountains and Bay Golf Course….to the ocean and sunsets. How nice to share a great place to enjoy with friends and family, right here in Kapalua, Maui. Lucky me!

Breathtaking views of The Bay Golf Course, the West Maui Mountains and the blue Pacific provides the ambiance for this restaurant. Add an incredible menu that caters to many as well as top notch service, and you have The Pineapple Grill at kapalua. From appetizers to dessert, the menu will keep you coming back for more. I recommend The Pineapple Grill as one of the unique restaurants on Maui not only for individual guests but also for corporate group events.

Winemakers dine out all the time and can be pretty picky. We recently dined with winemaker Steve Beckman of Beckman Winery of Los Olivos at The Pineapple Grill at Kapalua. Every dish was exceptional! We all tried a number of Chef Joey’s Pacific Island Cuisine appetizers and entrée selections. Outstanding! The wine list was well designed to compliment Chef Joey’s complex and creative menu. The wines by the glass selections was also well thought out and a great compliment. Managing Partner Chris Kaiwi & Executive Chef/Partner Joey Macadangdang have a great thing going and the location is hard to beat.

Managing Partner Chris Kaiwi & Executive Chef/Partner Joey Macadangdang have combined their considerable talents to deliver a fresh and imaginative twist to elegant island dining in a lively tropical setting. I consider this West Maui’s best spot to celebrate great food, smart wines and the good fortune of being in Hawaii.

The Pineapple Grill is an amazing “must visit” restaurant, an incredible addition to the Islands. Great fresh tastes, a diverse tempting menu, super ambiance and setting combined with warm welcoming attention and service, made us return night after night. This is a “Not to be missed!”

As a restarauntuer in California, I am probably more aware of, and focused on, our dining experience. In a prominent vacation spot such as Maui, it can be challenging to find a restaurant that lives up to elevated expectations. The Pineapple Grill did just that! Warm service, delicious and creative food, tasteful décor, a beautiful location…The Pineapple Grill presents all the elements necessary to assure that guests leave happy and smiling…just as we did.

The crisp, spacious atmosphere exudes a simple, understated elegance which compliments the superb cuisine. And, of course, the service lucidly mirrors the level of attention to detail and courtesy which is always manifested by the professional management staff. On behalf of all who visit Kapalua on a regular basis, I want to proffer my congratulations and gratitude to all who have been instrumental in creating The Pineapple Grill.

Our family, who loves food & wine, have been visiting Maui for over 28 years and have never enjoyed such a fantastic dining experience in the islands as we did with the staff of the Pineapple Grill at Kapalua. The professionalism and experience of the kitchen and service staff is impeccable, and every table in the restaurant looks out onto paradise! We look forward to returning again as soon as possible.

The Pineapple Grill under the management of owner/manager Chris Kaiwi has brought back the glory days of the Kapalua Resort where every employee is gracious and full of Aloha and where no request is too small and no request is too big. Chef Joey’s creativity is represented in every aspect of the menu and food presentation and will keep us coming back and back again. Casual Elegance-Maui Style! At the Pineapple Grill, everyone knows your name and you’re really glad you came…
