Patrick K., February 2026
“Probably one of the best meals in Maui. The macadamia nut crusted Mahi mahi with lemon butter mashed potatoes was amazing. Can’t even describe how good it was. My husband got the prime rib and fell in love lol. They also have a kids menu for our daughter. Service was impeccable and the atmosphere was beautiful. Highly highly recommend.”
Dana T., February 2025
“Fantastic ❤️ view and setting. All patio or open air seating. So special! Food and drinks were delicious and satisfying. Service was good, attentive and friendly.”
Linda C., November 2024
“Happy Hour doesn’t get much better than this! We came for a bite to eat and a drink a little before 5:00, and sat at a table in the courtyard with gorgeous views of the surrounding plantation. I had the chicken lettuce wraps, and since the salad greens are hyper local, each leaf was like a work of art. My husband enjoyed the fresh tasting Ahi Nachos. I had the drink special, which was a lilikoi lemonade that day, very refreshing. Great prices in a beautiful setting.”
Kristin D., June 2024
“Awesome food, reasonable prices, beautiful setting, and great service. Best meal we have have in Maui so far and would highly recommend. Most other decent restaurants are crazy expensive and this place is an amazing find. Mahi mahi, rib-eye, calamari, onion soup, and donuts were all stand out dishes.”
John M., July 2023
“Beautiful grounds tasty food and excellent drinks. Definitely worth a stop for happy hour.”

“Good food and great atmosphere. Really nice to sit outside. Not the same as the old Mill House but the new ownership is doing well with it!”
Kristy S., April 2022
“Dinner is apparently the best time to go but lunch wad quite good. Wait staff knowledgeable and friendly and food well prepared. The PLACE is amazing though. Go for the experience!”
Jonathan Z., April 2022
“Appetizer was delicious – Ahi Nachos. Did not particularly care for the main course – catch of the day. Lovely location though and attentive staff. Definitely would go back for those Nachos – Ahí was so fresh and delicious.”
Isabella M., April 2022
“I absolutely love Cafe O’Lei at the Mill House. First, the grounds are spacious, beautiful, tranquil, and well kept. There’s a path that surrounds a pond with ducks and an old rustic wheel and water features. We took a leisurely walk around the grounds before dinner and took lots of pics of the foliage. Reservations are highly recommended as it is a very busy place.
The service was on excellent. Dinner was amazing and delicious! Appetizers – the sautéed mushrooms with broccolini and the fried calamari were mouth wateringly delicious. Entrees – fish entree that was the special … it was the whole fish! Fried and placed atop this great sauce it was accompanied with jasmine rice. Our second entree was the lamb. It was a huge piece of lamb with the meat that fell off the bone and was very tender. The lamb was placed on polenta with a sauce that compliments the dish perfectly.
I would definitely come back every time I’m in Maui.”
Deena D., April 2022

The Happy Hour is weather dependent as it is only served on the side patio and inside the bar……are they now allowing reservations? We have been going here for years for Happy Hour, but recently no tables available. I would happily make a reservation if that meant we could enjoy the Happy Hour.
We have come here three times during our recent visit to Maui. Absolutely the best happy hour on the island! And the most delicious ahi tuna nachos I’ve ever tasted! The ambience is spectacular and so is the food and the service. This place is a real treasure.
Have been driving by this place for a long time, an today I decided to stop in. This will be my devour and explore restaurant for my next few trip to Maui over the next few months. I have business on all 4 Islands, but need a place to hang my hat when in town…
We are absolutely loving the new happy hour at Cafe O’Lei at The Mill House, located at the spectular Maui Tropical Plantation. Mahalo to Dylan, Connor, and all the staff for an amazing experience. We’ll be back for happy hour ASAP. Cheers!

Huge mahalo to Maui Happy Hours team member Kayla DeLong for visiting the Mill House in Waikapu to get us the updated happy hour menu. Great job, Kayla! ?
We just updated the happy hour specials at The Mill House in Waikapu, Maui. First of all, the entire Maui Tropical Plantation property (on which the Mill House is located) is phenomenally lush, green, and beautiful. The Mill House is well known by Maui locals, and was even voted Best Restaurant 2018. Definitely get up to the Mill House to try this happy hour, and mahalo to the Mill House staff for their excellent service.
