Bistro Casanova is smooth, elegant, exquisite and fun. A tropical landscaping refreshes the air surrounding the outside al fresco tables. Bistro Casanova offers Mediterranean fare, its roots coming from the Cinque Terre in Italy where the owner comes from. Its menu reaches some classic of the European cuisine: Paella for two, Cioppino, Focaccias, Grigliata plates of grilled meat or fish large enough to share, prime cuts of steaks are between the favorites, next to an excellent selection of pastas and fresh salads. Locally grown ingredients are used extensively, as well as the freshest fish from Maui's ocean. Bistro Casanova is a favorite for Happy Hour relaxation, watered by specialty martinis and carafes of mojito and margaritas.Tapas (available after 4pm) can be a tasty complement to your drinks, an opening line for your dinner, or dinner itself. At dinner, Bistro Casanova is a romantic destination for meals before a show or the perfect stop before flying out of Maui.

Chef Bernardo “JR” Oao devoted years to mastering the art of sushi, learning every detail of kitchen work, and steadily climbing the ranks through discipline, curiosity, and determination.In January 2022, JR opened his own food truck and in just a few short months, that dream expanded into his first brick-and-mortar restaurant in Wailea, which opened its doors in November 2022. Building on this momentum, Chef JR continued to grow. He launched his second restaurant, Oao Sushi Go, in Kahului—bringing fast, high-quality sushi to the heart of Maui and expanding his vision for accessible, elevated Japanese cuisine.Now, with the opening of Hachi By Oao, JR marks the next evolution of his culinary journey. Hachi represents his deepest commitment to the craft: a return to traditional Japanese sushi with a focus on pristine ingredients, and refined technique. Here, guests experience sushi as Chef JR believes it should be—intentional, elegant, and crafted with heart.

    We stop at least once per annual trip to Maui! Been wonderful watching OV grow adding dining and concerts from 5-7pm. If you have not done so take the distillery and tasting tour at least once.

    This was the first time at Monkeypod in Maui (we ate multiple times at the one in Oahu; we love all the Merriman restaurants). The restaurant has an amazing view. Food was delicious! The fish and chips batter seemed a bit thicker/bready compared to the one in Oahu. We devoured the pork tacos, they were incredible! The lemonade was delicious. Waitress was super nice. Just the right amount of noise. Overall always a pleasure and very satisfying to eat at Monkeypod. Good value for the quality of the food. Would absolutely return here in the future!

    Our server (cannot remember his name) was the best server I have ever had. We just got married 2 hours before our dinner. The experience was the most important dinner of our life. The food was amazing. Our 9 year old was happy the entire time. He took time to speak to all of us on a personal level. 5 stars
