Octoberfest at Bridget and Bernards was wonderful, well organized, properly staffed and very energetic. Yes it was buffet style dining, to many choices to list, and replenished quickly has trays were emptied by hungry foodies enjoying Bernards dishes prepared by him and his staff. If you came in costume you received a discount, and a Oompah band playing in the background while folks were dining and enjoying cold beer and outstanding dishes. Something different for island folks who enjoy a variety of food normally not found on island. Mahalo fir a wonderful evening, even if it did sprinkle at times…

Food and service were excellent. If you order the scampi and risotto one order is big enough for two people as long as you have something else.

We read some mixed reviews prior to booking a reservation, but our experience was excellent. The covered parking garage and very short walk through the manicured water filled garden to the restaurant were nice. A friendly hostess and an attentive and knowledgeable waiter seated us at one of many tables with an amazing view of the Maui sunset. We were served warm artisan bread with butter and enjoyed a new favorite artichoke appetizer. We ordered chicken Marsala with mushrooms and chicken piccata. Both were cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed our evening!!Thank you Longhi’s!!
