    We come back to this restaurant every time that we visit Maui. We love the Sashimi Napoleon. The food and the service is excellent. Wonderful historic building adds to the special feel of the restaurant.

    We enjoyed the food and ambience. If you have never joined the "InKind" dining network of restaurants, consider joining and perhaps, like us, you will receive a $25 credit on a $75 purchase when you pay using the InKjnd app. Simple! We made a reservation via InKind. We planned lunch to follow a tour of the Maui Gold Pineapple Farm, which was informative.

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you enjoyed both the food and the ambiance—and what a great idea to pair your lunch with the Maui Gold Pineapple Farm tour! Mahalo!

    We have been serval years before for the Easter brunch. This year it was nice. We enjoyed the not rushed atmosphere and service was great. I just remember there seemed to be more of a variety, from tropical fruit, salads, meats and salad dishes offered. In years past we were wowed by the whole experience….not so much by this year for the price. It was a nice brunch but did not scream “Easter Brunch”.
    Haliimaile General StoreResponded 5 days ago

    Love going there. Forgot it was Easter Sunday brunch. Food was really good but a bit pricy for the selection and the amount of food I can eat. Will be going back, just not for brunch.
    Haliimaile General StoreResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your experience! We completely understand about the brunch pricing and portion sizes—it can be a bit more on holidays. We’ll look forward to welcoming you back anytime, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy our regular menu just as much! Mahalo!

    What a great find this was as suggested by friends of ours who live here. It's understandable that it's their favorite go-to place for food, cocktails, and desert. We are certain to come back again on this visit.

    Our first time eating at the General Store and we were thrilled to enjoy Easter Brunch. The food was good but unexciting except for the salads and beef. We'll try dinner next time.
