    My boyfriend and I made it out to 808 Bistro just in time before they closed for the afternoon. They're located right across the street from the beach and have a nice, quiet patio area to enjoy your breakfast on. We had the banana bread French toast and curry omelet, which were both really good. The French toast was a bit soft, but tasty nonetheless. I liked the fact that there was no crazy line and the noise level wasn't loud at all. I'd come back again!

    Great breakfast for a great price! We've been paying an arm and a leg for not so great food on our trip to Maui, so we're happy to say this was one of the better places! We ordered the Two Egg breakfast with hash browns and the banana bread French toast. The French toast was a little soft, but decadent and yummy. The ambience is nice too. The bistro is tucked back behind a Mexican restaurant/bar but you can still see the ocean.

    Great food and good size portions. Excellent service. The curry omelet had a nice lite curry flavor. For those who like loco mocos, a must try is the whale pie. Brown gravy over a over medium egg, thick slice of ham, and a bed of hash browns. Banana bread lovers will enjoy the melt in your mouth french toast banana bread.

    I was fortunate enough to host my wedding reception dinner at 808 Bistro on Saturday, August 8th. Leading up to our wedding reception, I worked with Mitch via email and he was always so kind and responsive to my emails and requests. We had a "sit down" dinner for 22 guests and our menu started off with a choice of green salad with a Balsamic Vinaigrette or the Soup of the Day, Entrée choices of Panko Crusted Chicken Breast Stuffed with Herbed Goat Cheese, Beef Tenderloin Medallions with a Port Wine Demi Glaze or the Mahi Mahi with an Orange Vermouth Sauce. Dessert options were Brownie Sundae, Hawaiian Sweet Bread Pudding with Whiskey Cream or Ice Cream or Sorbet. Everything was AMAZING! The food, the service, the staff! All five stars! We were able to bring in our own wine, champagne, beer and hard alcohol which saved us tons of money. I can't wait to visit Maui again and dine here. 808 Bistro is as good as it gets and I highly recommend dining here!

    Great prices, and you can see a bit of the beach/ocean from your outdoor table. Cheap/fair prices, food was fine - the waitstaff were all very friendly. Recommend for a quick, cheap bite. Not super memorable but still quaint and cute.

    This was our 1st morning stop when we arrived and here we are 2 days later, back again. The ambiance is wonderful! Open air dining with a view of the Pacific. Cool breezes across the shaded complex. I had Eggs Benedict both days. It was excellent! Light, creamy, tasty Hollandaise, yummy. The Banana Nut Bread French Toast is to die for! The service is impeccable. Extremely friendly staff, very timely and never leave you wanting or waiting. It's not just an eating experience, the staff spent plenty of time interfacing with all guest, sharing experiences of the island and making suggestions. Very laid back and relaxing! We will be back. BTW, never turn your back to the ocean! Views are wonderful.

    I know, I know... banana bread french toast. But the show stopper for me was the veggie browns with egg whites. I'm not sure how you use Yelp, but I'm a photo stalker: rather than look at the menu, I'll just swipe through Yelp photos until I find what I need. And when I saw Jane H's photo, I knew it was the brekkie for me: veggies on top of potatoes underneath a layer of cheese and egg whites. Seriously, go look at the photo. I'll wait. And now that you're back, trust that it was even better (and larger) than it looks. With the time change, I was the only customer there, practically pouncing on a table when they opened at 7am. So while I might not be a great judge of their grace under pressure, I can say that the staff kept my coffee warm, my water filled, and let me have the best seat in the house. The super casual, unpretentious outdoor jungle atmosphere, plus the whole cheese on egg white on veggies on hash browns thing, definitely made 808 Bistro a winner in my book.

    I give 4 stars because the food wasn't as good or original as I expected. I had the crab cake eggs Benedict. My husband had the steak and eggs. The location is cool very relaxed and casual. We walked in grabbed a menu and sat ourselves. There was also a sign that says BOYB with a 3$ corking fee. Our waiter was super nice and attentative and gave us a discount for getting my husband the wrong kind of eggs. I would go here if you want a chill meowing with a Denny's island feel.

    We wanted to try Kihei Caffe but didn't have cash (didn't realize there was an ATM) so instead I made the poor choice of coming here (a few others in our group tried Kihei Caffe and enjoyed it but who knows maybe it would've been the same). By our last day, I've figured out that the tourists really set the bar for food in Maui which is to say most people vacationing here from the mainland have pretty terrible taste. The restaurant is attached to a dingy parking lot in the back of a Mexican restaurant. The deck itself has an obscured ocean view. The menu is dominated by eggs Benedict. I really want to commission a sociology study of why the eggs Benedict is such a universally in demand item because the appeal is never in the eggs and sauce for me (in theory the main ingredients). Among all the choices, I settled for the crab cake Benedict (lesser of the boring evils on the menu). The hash browns was pretty bland. The eggs were cooked perfect for a Benedict but the sauce was kinda thick and clumpy. Not into it. Boyfriend ordered pancakes off the kids menu (which we had to ask about because it wasn't listed anywhere on the menu) and a side of bacon which came in two sad strips. Lastly, just to comment on the "best coffee I've had in Maui" in an earlier review: that's probably more of a testament to the other coffee the reviewer had than a proper assessment of the coffee here.

    This place was awesome! Discovered 808 bistro on one of our last days in Maui and ate our last two consecutive meal here as well (dinner, then next day- brunch & dinner). Their brunch is delicious and dinner did not disappoint as well. Great prices and delicious food! Our favorite restaurant for the value on the island. Also- it's BYOB so if you're looking to drink (alcohol) don't forget to grab beverages nearby. I saw some people turn away from here when they realized they don't serve alcohol, but thought it was such a shame because their food was delicious.

    Don't bother looking at the menu and just order the banana bread french toast! If you've got a sweet tooth you are going to get your nom on the fluffiest banana bread you'll ever had the pleasure of devouring! Add some powdered sugar and syrup to the mix and BOOM, your mind has been blown. Other than the banana bread french toast I also ordered a standard American breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. It wasn't anything spectacular, although I'd like to note they have very good quality bacon. Service at 808 Bistro was excellent as well but the property itself is a bit rundown and that might take the romance out of your Maui experience.

  • Zhailah G.

    Excellent service. Excellent food. I had a basic egg and bacon breakfast but I also ordered the Banana bread French toast which was great!!!! The ambiance is very very nice. Located on the lower level of a local business plaza, which is just a short walk down and you are greeted with a spectacular site. The restaurant is nestled within tropical palms and plants and there is also a decent view of the ocean. Definitely a place to visit for good food and a good time with family &/or friends.

  • Amanda S.

    We came here for breakfast and enjoyed a delicious meal. The breakfast menu was limited but we ordered the banana bread French toast (SO good), crab Benedict, and veggie omelet. Our favorite was the banana bread French toast! The coffee was very delicious! Service was good but a bit slow. I am now understanding that island life is much more lax than the mainland so that may be it. The location is off the main road, so you need to follow the signs back so you don't miss it!

    Decided to try something new for breakfast before hitting the beach. Saw the good rating for 808 on yelp and as usual the masses did not lie. Great cafe tucked away and easy to miss but don't! I opted for the really non-heart healthy whale pie. Sweet baby Jesus was it good. My wife went the healthy route with fruit plate that was so fresh and good with incredible banana bread. We both loved 808

    Great breakfast in Kihei! Hidden in the back of a non-descript strip mall - different than 808 Deli. This is a sit down place with excellent breakfast choices at a reasonable price. 5 stars for the BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST ($4 for one slice, $7 for two, $9 for three slices). As amazing as it sounds! Delicious freshly made moist flavorful banana bread. Lightly dipped and French toast-ed. I gobbled both slices up - yum yum! My husband got the WHALE PIE which was their take on loco moco. Just the right size portion without being ridiculously too much. Will definitely be back. It's also open for dinner but BYOB. Parking : small private lot.

    In the beginning service was slow to be seated but we got seated and got our drinks right away We ordered and the food came in a good time The whale pie is to die for (bistro 808's version of the mock loco) also the focaccia egg sandwich is great if you aren't a sausage or bacon lover get it without meat. overall a great place to eat Waitresses are super friendly!

    I'm not sure if there's anything to say about this place that hasn't been said. It's a solid, no-nonsense restaurant that is an almost an unbeatable option for breakfast. I went in this morning with my husband and our toddler son. We were greeted immediately, and we didn't even have to ask for a kids' water-- the server just brought it. You'd think that that's how it would be everywhere-- but not so much! Anyway, this is one of those places where everyone is your server, it seems, which is nice. Everyone was equally friendly and accommodating! For breakfast, my husband had the standard eggs benedict, I had the crab cake benedict, and for our little one we got a slice of banana bread French toast and a scrambled egg. Everything was great. The poached eggs were PERFECT, by which I mean runny. The hollandaise sauce was good, on the lemony-spicy side, which is unique. My crab cakes were tasty and BIG! The hash browns were the shredded kind, which I really like. Our son's banana bread French toast was a generous slice, and the small bite I could steal was really good. The scrambled egg (which definitely seemed like more than one!) was fluffy and perfectly cooked-- rare for a restaurant! He completely demolished his entire breakfast, so that was great. The kicker? The French toast and the egg only came to $5.50-- way cheaper than a kids' meal ANYWHERE and a perfect portion. Finally, this place has amazing coffee. Just perfect, strong, and hot. Service was great, prices were good, everything was just awesome. I think we'll be making the drive from Wailuku a bit more often!

    We had our first Hawaiian breakfast here and the kids wanted to come back every other day. Banana bread French toast you will want at least three pieces of. Focaccia breakfast sandwich was delicious. My husband had the whale plate and not a drop was left. Waiter made a little game For our kids while We waited a short few Minutes for our meals. Waitress was helpful and pointed out that we needed to try the POG. Glad she did, it's now a Staple In our fridge at the house! Looking forward to returning for dessert after dinner Next week!

  • Rosie V.

    Service was great! I loved our waiter, he was very sociable, I hope this isn't the best breakfast place in Maui. The banana bread French toast is just hunks of banana bread with syrup. I was not impressed to say the least.

  • Lois S.

    Reasonably priced place for breakfast. Casual dining, food is tasty, service was great and food came out pretty quick. Famous for their banana bread french toast. They even sell the frozen banana bread. My son had a Big Wave,which was a large breafast ham served over hashbrown, with two eggs and gravy. He was hungry and I forgot so sorry, no picture. The best part was the waiter asked.if we were kama'aina and automatically applied an 18% discpunt without us askung for it. I live a great deal! Would definitely go back! :-)

  • Rohini M.

    5 stars for their French toast ! Must try when you visit this place. Place offers pretty decent seating along with good service. They keep refilling your coffee :) what more can you ask for during breakfast I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast if you are living in Kihei town or near by.

  • Haywood J.

    Lots of flies and other bugs. I was constantly fighting them off while eating. Birds pooping on the table. Drinking water wasn't refilled. Bathroom was nasty.

    This is a great breakfast place! It's rare for us to eat at the same place twice while on vacation, but we've eaten breakfast here twice already and are planning to come back again! The first day we had focaccia breakfast sandwiches. Today, we had the curry omelette, short rib omelette, and split a piece of banana bread French toast (on the waiter's recommendation). Everything we had was phenomenal and reasonably priced. The staff are very good and attentive and the owner even came out to help clear tables, take checks, etc. As an aside- we missed this place the first time we tried to eat here. It's not the 808 Deli ( which is also good for sandwiches). Go around the corner to the left and follow the black and white signs. If there's a wait, it shouldn't be long (like some other places) and it's well worth it (unlike some other places). This place is highly recommended!

  • Shauna L.

    Went here for breakfast. It's a nice relaxing place. Can sit back and just enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. I liked that it was shaded since it is an open air restaurant. I'm not sure why all the reviews rave about the banana bread French toast. All I can say is I would not get it again. For sure was nothing special. It was pretty much a thick slice of warmed up banana bread. I really could not tell why it would be called French toast. I can make better at home. The crab cake bennie was good but if you are a bennie snob like myself go down to street for a better bennie at chez meme. The short rib omelette was pretty good. Everything was tasty and satisfying but the menu doesn't have too many fun options to make me want to go back and try this place again.

  • Emily R.

    Great breakfast spot with a relaxed atmosphere and really tasty food. I ordered the crab cake benedict, my fella opted for the original benedict and we shared a slice of the banana nut bread french toast. I'm not the biggest fan of banana nut bread but this was a nice dish and not overly sweet. The crab cake benedict was great. It had a spicy kick and the hollandaise wasn't overly rich or runny. It is BYOB, so if you're craving mimosas with breakfast, that's an option. The servers were friendly and personable and generous with the refills.

    Great service and delicious breakfast! I had an enormo curry omelette with Portuguese sausage that was full of yummy flavor. Banana bread French toast is a must try! Great place!

    Really nice patio. Some seats have partial ocean view. The food came out fast and tasty. For adventurous eaters, try the short rib omelet. I really enjoyed the banana bread French toast. Really nice ambiance and reasonable prices for Maui. I would definitely return for breakfast or try their puff pastry short rib pot pie. Sounds yummy

  • Jaclyn P.

    Delicious breakfast that was filling and tasty! Prices and service were great too. I had the focaccia egg sandwich and it was delicious! The eggs were fluffy, and the focaccia bread was light and fluffy on the inside with a tiny bit of crunch on the outside. It also had lots of flavor. My husband had the crab cake Benedict and thought it was good, but the poached egg was a little over-cooked. The hollandaise sauce didn't have as much flavor as he expected. Banana bread French toast was ok. We ordered it because other Yelp reviewers raved about, it honestly it just tasted like banana bread and nothing special. I was expecting it to be a little more crunchy/crispy or flavorful. It was almost soggy on the outside. Our service was very friendly and attentive, and the outdoor seating was nice and airy. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could!

  • Chris H.

    We had several people recommend 808 Bistro to us. It is in kind of a different location. Behind a building and we entered through the parking lot. We were there for lunch and my wife loved her fish (I don't remember which one she ordered.) My entree was also very good. The only thing that wasn't up to par was the side salad. It was more of what I would have expected to get from a dinner than a nice restaurant. Also, they don't serve alcohol, so BYOB.

    (4)

  • Anna C.

    Service is very casual here. The waitress poured water and it splashed everywhere. But, they are friendly and food is good. I had banana bread french toast and curry omelet. Banana bread french toast is very moist and not overly sweet. (It's heavy on nutmeg. If you don't like nutmeg, you might want to skip it.) Curry omelet was good, nothing to complain.

  • Carrie C.

    Service: 5 stars Food: 4 stars We went for dinner at 7ish, no packed & sat inside. Excellent value kids menu. Son got fresh catch which came with an excellent portion of broiled fish for kids, some veggies & mashed potato. I loved it because the fish wasn't deep fried!! My son couldn't finish the mashed so I got to try some :) It seasoned well. He finished the fish so I had no idea what is it taste like. I guess it must be good because he finished the whole thing. Oh, I also loved their complimentary bread, it was rosemary bread so yummy; tasted even better with their herb butter. Chopped spinach salad with walnut lightly tossed with their vintage dressing... So refreshing after a hot day. Short ribs came with veggies & mashed potato. The meat was juicy & tender, we finished the sauce with the rest of mashed potato. They have high chairs but no change table in the washroom which was okay, we are not very far from our resort. We will go back & try their breakfast. Yum...

    What a welcome surprise. The food was fantastic. Had to start with the banana french toast which is made with quality bread. I got crab benedict and my husband got a curry omelet. The waitresses are fun and really made for an enjoyable morning conversation.

  • Jody C.

    Excellent food. A must in Maui! I came here for brunch and everything I tried was just phenomenal. This place blows Kihei Caffe out of the water. The whale pie is their version of the loco moco. It consists of a piece of thick ham, lightly browned and crunchy hash browns, eggs, with brown gravy on top. This was too good.. I was tempted to order another one to split with the hubby because one was just not enough! The banana bread french toast was also good. Definitely one of the better french toasts I've had & super unique take on french toast by using really good banana bread! Service was good & the ambiance is just amazing! Sit in the patio and you'll feel like you're eating In a tropical garden. I will definitely be back again.

  • Jessica H.

    Came here for breakfast and boy was I glad I did!! Great place to eat breakfast/brunch in Maui for a reasonable price!! What we got: Whale Pie - this was SO GOOD!!! My favorite! Banana Bread French Toast - pretty good; kinda just tasted like warm banana bread (ain't nothing wrong with that!) Crab Cake Benedict - pretty good with a larger crab:breading ratio Curry Omelette - this sounds weird but was REALLY good Service: Staff was super friendly and service was great!

    My wife and I decided to have an early breakfast here after watching the sunrise at Haleakala summit and were in a hurry since we still needed to pack. Overall the place was great. We showed up and they told us it'd be a ten minute wait but we were seated in under five. The food was exquisite and had very generous portions for the price. I had the short rib omelette and a coffee and my wife had the basic breakfast (not sure what the name was but it was your standard eggs, breakfast meat, hash-browns, etc.) and we split a double order of banana bread French toast. My omelette was phenomenal, it was fresh and flavorful and the meet was extremely soft. The hash-browns were crispy and toast was good. I didn't taste my wife's plate but she said it was "good" and the banana bread French toast was as good as my omelette. The atmosphere was casual and the service was good with the exception of us just ordering one coffee and they brought us two, it wasn't a huge deal so we didn't mention it but I'm sure they would've taken care of it if we had. We'll definitely recommend this place to others and will visit it again when we come back to the island.

  • Cindy L.

    A lovely place for brunch! We came here on a Sunday and we were promptly seated on the patio. We tried the short rib omelette and 2 servings of the banana bread French toast (you can opt for 1-3 servings) - both dishes highly recommended by our waitress. The food was pretty good and they split our omelette without additional charges. I would definitely like up come back to try out other brunch goodies AND for their sunset dinner. $29.95 3 course prix fixe menu Sunday-Thursday with a view of the sunset....sounds heavenly!

  • Jen N.

    Banana bread frenchtoast was over rated. Too sweet even for me, & I have an awful sweet tooth. Omelette was mediocre. We went on a very rainy day and I know heavy rain is unusual but they were very ill equipped... the dining area floors were muddy, bathroom was flooded. Our server was wearing a filthy (like homeless filthy) shirt.

  • Jamie L.

    This place is a gem! The service here is a breath of fresh air, genuine hospitality. And their outdoor seating is really nice, open air and all. The food is just as good.. I had the banana bread FRENCH toast and it was so tasty! Everything on the menu seems really worth trying

  • Monica A.

    If I could I'd rate it 10 stars, two thumbs up and a smiley face...it's that good! My husband and I are from California and were here on vacation. We relied on Yelp to help us find the yummy spots. We took our own bottle of champaign and had some mimosas. We ordered the short rib omelet...a little spicy but amazing!! The eggs Benedict were super duper good!! I usually don't like runny eggs but was in the mood for something different and I'm glad I order it!! Ahhhhh-mazing!! Customer service was excellent! The chef (sorry forgot his name) is so passionate about what he makes. He came out to see if we were happy with what we ordered. If I were local I'd be a regular

    Great food!! Awesome, attentive and relaxed service. We went here several times during our visit to Maui and felt like regulars by the end. The breakfast staff worked so well together and we're just in great moods- such a positive way to start your day. Food came out super hot and fast! Try the banana bread French toast, eggs Benny and farmers omelet- you won't be disappointed!!

  • Alexia C.

    If the food was the only thing I was rating it would have gotten 5 stars, however the guy that was "training" our waitress made things very uncomfortable. Yelling, and correcting her in front of customers made breakfast very awkward and I felt horrible for the poor girl. Other than that the Banana Bread French Toast is worth the hype.

    I had the short rib omelet and my boyfriend had the banana bread French toast and both were very yummy! Great atmosphere and the servers were so nice and helpful. All around a great experience.

    really nice hidden cafe with a peek a boo of the ocean. ordered crab benedict which was decent (not my favorite hollandaise), the curry omelette (interesting but i wouldn't go back for it, the curry was pretty much inside a fold of scrambled eggs, and the banana bread french toast (delicious, but just as good if it weren't "french toasted" as it was just bread with butter and syrup).

  • Stacey C.

    The food was great, everyone was super nice, loved the restaurant environment, but a but expensive (but it's Maui, so I understand. It was just right next to my hotel so we just walked in with no expectations, but we walked out happily and full!

    Best meal I've had in a week in Hawaii. Banana French toast is available before noon and is beyond amazing. Pork tenderloin and mahi mahi are phenomenal. The owner is very kind and service is wonderful. Strongly recommend!!

    First off, it's BYOB, so if you're looking for a drink, bring your own. We came for breakfast, so that wasn't an issue for us. The place is open air & rather small, but busy. We met a couple at The Monkey Pod (another must try!) who told us about 808 Bistro & said we just HAD to come try the banana bread French toast. Our waiter was Chris, a hippie type guy, but sweet as anything with a great personality! When I perused the menu the "Whale Pie" sounded too interesting to pass up (sliced ham, egg over medium & cheese all served over hash browns with brown gravy) & our waiter said it was his favorite item on the menu, so I went with that, but ordered a slice of the banana bread French toast for my husband & I to try. The Whale Pie was delicious, but I wasn't a fan of the rind still on the slice of ham that was buried under the egg, cheese & gravy so I slid it out & put it on a plate to cut. The egg was over easy, which I love, but just an FYI. The gravy was dark & rich. The banana bread French toast was to die for, but there's no way I could have eaten more than 1 slice, even if I'd had nothing else to eat.

    Quaint little hideAway with exceptional food and exceptional staff. Love the laid back ambiance and views of the garden and ocean. Staff is super friendly and you can tell they enjoy their jobs as they groove to the sounds of bob Marley playing on the overhead. Food is delicious and I wish we could check them out for dinner but we'll have to try on our next trip. Also, 18% Kamaaina discount!! Cheehoo! Banana bread French toast, curry omelet, short rib omelet and the eggs with beef tenderloin medallions. Fruit & yogurt bowl for the kiddos and we all left with full and happy tummies. Love this little hidden gem. Go early though, space is limited but I think it opens up more seating for dinner.

    Yummy breakfast! Ambiance: It's like having breakfast in the middle of a jungle -- or at least, that's the feel. It's awesome! I had the whale pie which is like an American-style loco moco: hash browns on the bottom, ham and eggs over easy on top, with brown gravy. Add a touch of hot sauce and wow, this is a super delish dish! I also had a bite of the banana bread french toast and it was also very good, a lot lighter than I imagined and perfect with syrup and butter on top. The coffee is also very good. You can BYOB for a cheap cork fee, so if mimosas are on order, bring your own bubbly :)

  • Doug G.

    Nice quaint bistro we had breakfast at. Only a few customers which meant the service was excellent. Food was decent. The hash browns seemed to be the frozen type and so they were a little dry and lacked flavor. With fresh eggs it would have been nice to have country style potatoes. Nobody finished the hash browns. We got introduced to POG juice. It was an instant hit and seems to be a local phenomenon as we are now seeing the juice at many places including by the gallon at the local supermarket.

    Had breakfast only and it was good. One page breakfast menu with usual items. If you are adventurous try the Curry omelet, not too spicy and lots of veggies. Located at interior of strip mall so no view.

    My sister's family was staying in Lahaina but wanted to explore a bit of Kihei so they invited us out to check out 808 Bistro with them for some brunch before our cousin's wedding later in the day. It's a little tricky to find since it's tucked in back of a small shopping complex, but well worth the visit. I ordered their crab Benedict, which came with hashbrowns. I found a bit of shell in my crabcake, but I wasn't even mad because it was obvious that it was the real deal! They've got some really creative dishes on the menu that are all worth a try, and it was definitely a great breakfast spot for our little crew. Service, like most places we enjoyed in Maui, was outstanding. The staff was so friendly and personable, and very easy to chat with. Kihei is probably my favorite spot on the island for it's local feel and affordable food, and 808 Bistro comes highly recommended for me for any friends who are visiting. Food: 8/10 Service: 9/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 8/10

    My husband and I went to 808 Bistro for his birthday. When making the reservation, I asked for them to surprise him with dessert. The staff was extremely accommodating and when we got there, they had a special table set up. The food was AMAZING. We had the buffalo shrimp and the broccoli cheddar soup to start. My husband ordered the beef tips and I had the short rib pot pie. I love pot pies and this was by far, the best I have ever had!!!! I highly recommend ordering it at the bistro. After dinner, as requested, they surprised my husband with his favorite bananas fosters and the waitress even put a candle in it for him. Our experience was wonderful and we can't wait to go back to try the breakfast next time!!

    This is a great place to have breakfast. If it were not for MeMe's restaurant, it would be the best breakfast on Maui. Very unique offerings and a little bit of a view. We joked and said the worst part was the wobbly table. Fabulous Servers who keep your coffee very warm. Banana French toast is excellent. Definitely puts the hotel breakfast places on notice. Either hire these two restaurants or step it up:))) We really enjoyed 808 and will return!

    Very good breakfast. I had the veggie potatoes as suggested here on yelp and they didn't disappoint. I did add some sausage for a bit of protein with made it fantastic. Great view of the ocean through a garden.

    Whale pie was magnificent!! And the banana bread French toast was the perfect compliment. Sorry No picture was too good to wait and plenty of yummy ones posted! I will try to do this at home but not sure I can touch how fabulous that brown gravy is!!

    Cute little semi-outdoorsy brunch spot, tucked away in the corner of the building. Loved the: 1. Curry omelette - very unusual flavour but delicious just the same. Fresh tasting veggies, just wish they had been cooked a little further. 2. Banana bread french toast - One of the servers recommended this as a house favourite and he was quite right! I thought it was only okay until I tried it with the maple syrup - the combination was absolutely delectable! Not overly sweet like I'm used to. Only two servers during the breakfast shift but they were very efficient! I was certainly delighted with the way one of them refilled my coffee cup without me even having to ask him about it. Slightly on the expensive side ($12 - $15 per item).

    Just don't order the flat iron steak with Gorgonzola and grapes. Maybe that should go without saying... It was pretty dead on a Saturday night. Service was great and my husband had delicious short ribs. I think I'd try elsewhere for dinner but I would definitely check this place out again for brunch.

    We have been to the 808 deli on many trips to Maui so we thought we would try the restaurant since they have an early prix fix menu and BYOB policy. Had the short ribs, carrot ginger soup and brownie sundae for dessert. Soup was good, short ribs tender but had a weird brown BBQ sauce with too much vinegar. Brownie was overcooked and hard. Young lady serving us was attentive and friendly. Very average food .. We will stick with the deli and won't be back to restaurant.

    Great service and great food. I had the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict and a slice of Banana Bread French Toast. The French Toast was amazing. The Crab Cakes had too much cream cheese for my taste but were still good. The service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely visit again.

    A lovely hidden away location with decent coffee and wonderful banana bread french toast! My son showed up to surprise me from CA and the entire restaurant shared in my surprise. Service was warm and friendly, even when we added a couple more unexpected diners to our little table. Will make a return visit next time in Maui!

  • Alexandra Z.

    Just had dinner here and definitely exceeded my expectations. Service was great! I had ahi with white rice and veggies. Ahi was perfectly cooked with a hint of wasabi which brought it to another level. Hubby had tenderloin which was good too according to him. The bread was also warm and delicious. I would definitely recommend everyone to try the ahi for dinner!

    This place is a little hidden, off a plaza. there is a CAFE in front with the same name, so make sure you head around back to get to the right place. We got here for breakfast and i had their banana bread french toast and dave had their curry omelet. I really enjoyed my breakfast. Sweet but not too much. Dave liked his omelet, and it was tasty but a little too heavy for me. The server we had was very friendly and nice. it's laid back and there wasn't a lot of people, so I enjoyed the slower pace.

  • Andy M.

    Wow! This place is amazing! The food is reasonably priced, and the portions are what you'd expect. Also, the food.... is sex in food form. Okay, maybe I am overselling it, but it is damn good. They are closed during lunch hours, which is the only fault I can pin on them, which I have to do because there IS a gun to my head right now (help me). P.S. You have got to try the banana bread french toast or you will forever have a hole in your soul.

    Solid place for a delicious breakfast! This charming, patio-seating restaurant might be hidden, but worth a visit (follow the signs by 808 Deli next door to find it). Seating is outdoors with a nice view of the ocean, even though you're across the street from it. My family and I came here twice during our visit, and were pleased both times. The crab cakes Benedict are really good, as well as the french toast. Only con I have is the tap water tasted like a fish tank, so please don't drink it. The place is BYOB, so if you want a mimosa or a bloody Mary, you'll have to bring your own booze too. However, they do sell Bloody Mary mixes and orange juice for the table for those who do bring their own alcohol.

    Trying sunset dinner for the first time. Had the special mahi mahi with pesto and jasmine rice. Also had the buffalo shrimp appetizer with sunset special chicken alfredo, cesar salad and brownie sundae. Loved the bread and butter! Great customer service, very attentive! Good music playing in the background. Great sunset view! BYOB!

  • Haley S.

    My boyfriend and I went to the Bistro after eating at the Deli (also delicious) several times. We tried the banana french toast and thought it was good, but not necessarily out of this world. We did love our eggs, though. I got the traditional eggs benedict and he got the traditional egg breakfast. Both were fantastic and exactly what we were hoping for. We sat outside and enjoyed every moment. The coffee was also quite excellent. The orange juice was legit (not watered down and tasteless). Definitely a worth the visit -- and we'll probably come back.

  • Karana H.

    Very cute place, love the outdoor seating. We were skeptical about the curry omelet, but it actually worked pretty well and tasted great. Also had the eggs and bacon breakfast, nothing special but good nonetheless. But the star of the show was definitely the banana bread french toast. It's been over a week since we came back from Maui, but I still dream about that bread every day. It was sooo good!

  • Gabriella R.

    Loved the 808 bistro. Went there for breakfast and had the French toast, an omelette and the panini. My mom, sister and myself, we loved the food. And we had the best waiter, Chris, who was really on his game and hella cool! We will be back, guaranteed. Went back, this time for dinner, had the wedge salad (amazing) and my mom and sister split the pot pie. I tried it too. Unbelievably good, great in fact. This is by far the best place we have eaten in Maui (and we come here all the time). And, the owner and his staff are friendly and welcoming. Will be our go to from now on when we are on Maui.

  • Amanda A.

    Came here mid-morning while in Maui. The lower level was the only open area and we were seated right away where we could see the ocean. It was semi-outdoor, but very comfortable (we usually prefer inside). The eggs benedict of phenomenal. The banana bread french toast was lovely. Even if you order savory entrees, go ahead and get at least 1 slice to share of the banana bread french toast. It's totally worth it. The staff was very friendly. It was quite romantic for couples, but everyone needs to try 808 if they're in the area.

  • Peter N.

    Went here for breakfast and it was great! I was skeptical at first - I came at 9am on a Monday and it was completely empty. The fare is nothing too crazy - wife had the eggs, bacon, hash browns while I had the crab Benedict. The crab Benedict was excellent and I would definitely recommend for anyone who's a fan of both. The portions were quite generous, as was our server. As someone previously mentioned, the coffee was amazing and was continuously being topped off (which was nice, as I find this island quite pricey for coffee, even though the bean is from here?) The food was good, but I think it's because of the excessive use of butter. Something I can definitely taste (especially in the hash browns), but that made it oh so good. Food came out quick as well. I would return for the Benedict but my heart would hate me. I would come back for the coffee alone.

    We ended up here by accident. The restaurant we wanted to go to hadn't opened yet and this was the closest to where we were. I really am glad the other place was closed! The service was excellent, great ambiance and equally great food. Next time we will come here on purpose and not by accident!!

  • Ramsha B.

    Went here for breakfast without really checking their menu and when I saw the menu all I saw were eggs and their banana bread but then I saw the crab cakes. They sounded really good and so I ordered those. The hostess was kind enough to skip the poached eggs for my order. They were delicious. Especially the jalapeño cream sauce,so delectable. It went really well with the crab cakes. The service was very nice too.

  • Dustin M.

    Like no other. My significant other and I were deceived by the many recent positive reviews. Woke up expecting a nice breakfast, but 808 soon revealed their qualities of lackluster service, food quality, and cleanliness. Overpriced, tasteless, disgust. One of those places that does not deserve a toilet flush.

  • Meghan M.

    My husband and I went here for breakfast one morning. It was fantastic! They have a great covered patio with a view of the ocean (there is a street between you and the ocean though, just fyi), and the waiter told us that they had even seen some whales earlier that morning. On the menu they had a crab cake benedict that looked amazing, but I wasn't really feeling it that morning so I went with the focaccia egg sandwich, which did not disappoint. The focaccia was amazing, and if you put bacon and avocado on pretty much anything I will love it. My husband ordered a basic breakfast with eggs, toast and some kind of spicy sausage that he really liked. The waiter also suggested that we order a slice of the banana bread french toast to share because that is what they are famous for. It was really quite good, and I'm not normally a fan of banana bread. The coffee was locally grown right on Maui, and was very good. I also noticed that they offered orange juice and bloody mary mix and that you can BYOB to make bloody marys and mimosas - pretty cool if you know about it ahead of time! I would definitely recommend 808 bistro for breakfast.

  • Anthony R.

    Absolutely fantastic dinner!! Great food, wonderful service and pleasant atmosphere. To top it off, absolutely reasonable prices - same I'd expect on the mainland and a medium priced restaurant. We pledged to eat dinner somewhere different every night in Maui, but we'll probably have to double up on 808! I had the braised short rib and it was succulent and perfect. The creamed spinach was a delicious side the I swaped the potatoes out for. Awesome dinner, you can't go wrong here!

  • Shaunice C.

    Everything I had was nothing short of unbelievably amazing!! This is a BYOB (bring your own bottle) establishment, so don't forget the booze. I decided to follow suit with what others suggested in their reviews and I definitely wasn't let down! The eggs Benedict was awesome and I also had a slice of banana bread french toast with a glass of POG (Passion orange guava juice).

    As the cool kids say (even if they shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition), 808 Bistro is WHERE IT'S AT. Adored the atmosphere: Casual, classy, laid back, and just right for this Maui girl. There's something exceptional and serene about its location across from Kam II; the decor is classy without being ostentatious (yes I'm talking to you, Duo). Service was fast, friendly, and efficient; our breakfast, which was admittedly on the safe side (scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, Portugese sausage, banana bread French toast) was delicious and perfectly proportioned. Will I be back? No doubt.

    We celebrated our wedding at 808 bistro with 23 of our family members. Mitch was very helpful, quick to respond, and attentive in our needs. The menu was amazing and personal, the food was great, and the atmosphere was exactly what we wanted. We are so happy we chose to celebrate our wedding here! We will be back every time we visit Maui and highly recommend that everyone visit here also!

  • Jack S.

    We met some friends here for breakfast, and enjoyed our meal. Two of us had the omelets, my wife had a papaya with fruit yogurt and granola, and my friends wife had a traditional 2 egg breakfast. Very good service, and all of us enjoyed our meals. On our way in a gal leaving handed us a coupon for a cup of coffee and banana bread, so we gave that a try too, and it was also good.

  • Kiri K.

    This place has everything: charm, affordability, BYOB, great service and above all great food. My husband and I came for dinner our first evening on the island. We asked for a seat on the patio and enjoyed the sunset over the bottle of wine we grabbed on the way here. Food (in order of deliciousness): The clams. Order them. You won't regret it. The tomato basil wine sauce is delicious! Seriously, you will need extra bread for dipping. The wedge salad (we split a large. It was huge. Very generous with the bleu cheese etc) The brownie sundae. It's a brownie sundae, how do you mess that up. The mahi was great but just a little bland. Service: Terrific. The chef and two waiters tag teamed our table. No need was overlooked but I also never felt like I was being rushed. Atmosphere: Gorgeous view (although somewhat more obstructed than those you'll find at the wailea resorts). Open air patio is the best spot. Ask for a table up by the front railing. Don't miss this place. It's truly a gem.

  • Jimmy B.

    Quite possibly one of the best places to go for dinner on Maui. EXCEPTIONAL food at a great value, with great friendly service. NO ALCOHOL SEVERD, so BYOB. Minimal corkage fee. 5:00 to 6:00 pm offers an exceptional value "Sunset Dinner" that features a selection of starters, entree's, and desserts. As noted by others, it's tucked away off the main drag in the back of a complex, but has very nice ambiance as well as a pleasant "garden view". 808 Bistro....what a gem!

  • Anwen B.

    Incredible dinner place in Kihei We went for the prefix 5-6 sunset menu, which is $30 for an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Normally with these prefix menus the portions are a bit smaller but these portions were huge, almost a bit too much. The carrot coconut ginger soup was mouth water and the ribs were juicy and fell off the bone, not a big fan of the brownie sundae though. The environment is great, the seating is all semi-outside with spacious room between the tables so it isn't too noisy. A must go in Kihei

  • Ken F.

    Staying at the Grand Wailea, we got pretty used to bad, expensive food. That was fine with all the positives of the resort, but as for the food, this is the antidote. For the price of breakfast for one at the hotel and a five minute drive, our family of four had banana french toast (unbelievably good), eggs, bacon, hash browns, etc. it's definitely worth the escape!

  • Tash M.

    Okay, yelpers! I am slowly learning to trust y'alls reviews--you used lo lead me astray, but so far so good! *knocks on wood* You led me here, to 808 Bistro, for breakfast... ...And, so far so good! 808 Bistro serves breakfast until 12, which was great because we woke up late but still wanted breakfast foods. As others have stated, hard to find, but if you can find 808 Deli, there are a ton of signs that lead you directly behind it. You meet a hostess table with a stack of menus next to a sign that motions to seat yourself. There's a fork next to that hostess table; to the left is a bar (assuming for the servers?) and the right is the seating area. There are about 10 tables max. It's small. And hot. It's open, and there is some wind, but absolutely no ceiling fans or a cross breeze. There is a nice little view of the water in the distance, but it's still hot. Breakfast menu is simple--great! Sometime I like not having so many options. The fiancée got the short rib omelette ($12) and I got the banana bread french toast ($9) the food came out super quick, and the ladies kept our glasses full/questions light. They were both pretty tasty! The banana bread french toast was really lightly battered and not too heavy, as a typical banana bread would be. Comes with syrup but you really don't need it! The short rob omelet was also yummy, but I felt it was "confused" ; it had carrots and cabbage like a pot roast would, but also jalapeños and sour cream, like a Mexican burrito. All in all, Good brekkie joint!

  • Brianna T.

    Breakfast is pretty much the same everywhere (eggs, toast, ham or bacon, couple varieties of pancakes and omelets) so I never expect amazing when I go out to breakfast. But the SERVICE at this place was beyond expectation. Our waiter (manager?) brought me his jacket to wear bcuz it was chilly outside, but we wanted to sit on the patio. He overheard is talking about Jaws Beach and he came over to show us videos of the waves there yesterday and gave us directions. I didn't finish my meal so he packed it all up with utensils and a box and bag for our day trip. Friendly, helpful, attentive but not hovering. Perfect. Oh, and the food was great. Had a veggie omelet, short rib omelet and, of course, their incredible (!) banana bread french toast. Yum.

  • Ryna D.

    Finally Yelp delivered! This was a great brunch spot. And the open air patio setting was lovely as you can see the ocean while you eat. Their omelettes all sounded great and I decided on the curry omelette which was fantastic. My bf had the crab cake eggs Benedict and he enjoyed it. The hash browns are done properly and while they don't have an espresso machine their coffee is really good. Everyone seems to love the banana bread French toast so we tried a piece and it was in fact yummy! Over all, good food, friendly staff, and nice atmosphere.

  • Lauri H.

    Great service. A rarity during our stay on Maui. The food was excellent. We shared a bowl of corn chowder that got everything right: fresh corn, not heavy and delicious bacon on top. I had the pinko crusted seared ahi which was cooked perfectly. I could have had a tiny bit more sauce, but that's quibbling. The rice was perfect and the broccoli had a pleasant amount of garlic on it. hubs had the boneless short ribs. They were melt in your mouth great. I found the sauce a little heavy, a little too close to a bbq taste for me, but good nonetheless. Delicious mashed potatoes and garlic broccoli. We finished with the Hawaiian sweetbread bread pudding which was custards and delish, but not too sweet....which I prefer. Would definitely return.

    You know how sometimes you're watching tv and an ad comes on for some movie that looks absolutely terrible, but in super small print at superfast speed you see a whole bunch of "reviews" that would lead you to believe somebody found the movie "Astounding!" or "Life Changing!" so you go, and you watch the same movie, and at the end you want to punch whatever fourteen year old boy called the movie "Awesome" on Facebook because it totally Jedi Mind Tricked you out of your $8? This is not that experience. The 808 Bistro has, as of this writing, a 4.5 star rating here on Yelp with nearly 400 reviews. How did it pull off this magic trick? By being magical no doubt. The dining area is tucked away outside, next to other buildings, but because of some sparse but strategically placed plants and trees, it gives the illusion you're on some primitive rain forest floor. I felt isolated from the world in a good way and was surprised to take in the surrounding only to see other buildings so close. Weird, but pleasant optical illusion. Our server gave us just enough time to look over the breakfast menu before approaching the table. The Awesome Girlfriend and I split eggs, toast, hash browns, bacon, Portuguese sausage, Hawaiian sweet bread toast, and a house specialty--banana bread French toast. We also ordered coffee. Usually you can mix in a detail like, "we ordered coffee" and nobody cares or should care because coffee is pretty much the same wherever, except when it's not. The coffee at 808 is Maui local and one of the better cups of restaurant coffee either of us has had on the island (more impressive in her case, as she has spent decades on Maui). Breakfast was off to a promising start. The food arrived in a timely manner and was served at the right temperature (we'd had a poor experience elsewhere earlier in the day, so this was important). Everything tasted the way it should when done well. Picture one of your more positive breakfast experiences in life, be it in a restaurant or at home, and you'll know what we got at 808 Bistro. It's worth calling attention to the banana bread French toast. This breakfast item was a little bit more exotic compared to the other fare and our server mentioned it was a house specialty. There's a good reason for that. It's awesome. It paired well with the bacon and the sausage and the syrup. It maintained a pleasing texture throughout and was the perfect cap to an already great meal. If I wasn't disciplined and if calories made you smarter, I'd probably hang out all day at 808 Bistro and become a genius on the banana bread French toast, pushing myself to learn more, propelling myself on the coffee. So, even though the 14 year old kid on Facebook who is trying to tell you that the new Will Smith movie is "Paradigm Shifting" or "Medulla Oblongata Meltingly Electric!" and he's full of shit, when I tell you that 808 Bistro is a great way for you to get awesome food at reasonable prices (even if you only drink coffee and grind the banana bread French toast), I am not.

    We loved our visit here after a day on the road to Hana. Our server was great, very accommodating. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we left full and happy. The pork was a little sweet for my taste, but still delicious-- so moist and tender. The beef roast and ahi were great too, everyone cooed over their meals all evening. Will definitely be back.

    This review is based on their breakfast only. This was the first place we went to when we were in Maui. Heard a radio ad and when we found out it was so close to where we were staying we decided to check it out. I'm so glad we did! We got there about 10:30 am and there was no wait. We sat in the shade outside and it was a great view! We split a piece of the banana bread French toast and it was so good!!! I got the egg sandwich which was huge and my husband got an omelet. The portion sizes were great for the price we paid, I actually had to take half of my sandwich home. I would absolutely recommend this place!

    I went to 808 for breakfast and had a very pleasant experience. The service was good, and the menu had a variety of dishes that would meet most tastes. I had the banana bread French toast, which was delicious! They don't have a printed kids menu, but just ask and they will accommodate. Their outdoor deck is relaxing, with lush greenery and a view of the ocean.

    My only complaint about 808 bistro is that we ate there the last day of our trip. Had we known, we would have had breakfast there at least 3 days out of our 7 day trip. I had the curry omelette, sounds weird, and Im not a big curry guy, but it was really good! My wife had the Short Rib omelette and she really dug it. The flavors were big and bold, the hash browns were crispy and the coffee was always full. Our server was a very cool dude, very attentive, happy and seemingly proud of the food they serve. I really liked this little place, and would go back in a heartbeat!

  • Mike L.

    It's behind Fred's and Moose McGillycuddy's. I went for breakfast at about 7:30 on a Sunday morning. Hardly anyone there but there should be. Friendly service, nice atmosphere and a simple but tasty menu. The Eggs Benedict were cooked as I requested (yolks firm) which seems to be a tall order for some chefs. Hollandaise sauce was slightly spicy, a bit of local flavor I guess. Hash browns were the burring shredded kind but well cooked. I hate a big slab if undercooked hash browns. I tried the banana bread French toast just because. It's good but I think if rather just have the banana bread and skip the syrup and egg. Next time I'm trying Fred's because they have a big omelette selection, but for a shady, cool, quiet spot for a snack 808 seems to fit the bill.

    20 min after we ordered we are informed they ran out of hollandaise sauce so we need to order something else. We order the another item with poached eggs....25 minutes later they come back to tell us their eggs aren't poaching today. I mean really? And no booze to at least make you forget you are starving for breakfast. What a shame. Had high hopes from all of the positive reviews. Our server was very nice. That's why it gets a star.

  • Liane R.

    Our breakfast was fantastic! We split the recommended crab cake benedict and the banana bread French toast. Our waiter was very personable and attentive. He suggested we might not want to cover the French toast in syrup so that we could take it with us for later. On the suggestion we decided it didn't need any syrup it was so good. The view, food and staff we top notch. One suggestion, if you are interested in having a Bloody Mary or mimosa, take your own liquor. They are BYOB so they have only carafes of bloody mix and orange juice for you to mix with.

    We ordered their poke tacos and it was really expensive what what they served. You get 3 small tacos with about 5 ahi poke in each for $20. We also ordered their tuna melt and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't as awesome as the waiter claimed to be. We also ordered fish and chips. You get 3 thin fish with fries that were soaked with oil for $20. All and all, I had expected more food for the price you're paying.

    Was pretty underwhelmed with this place. The breakfast options were limited. Our eggs were undercooked and the coffee was not so great. The service was abrupt and the place is pretty run down. It was nice sitting outside though and we had a peak of the ocean during our meal.

    Pretty standard brunch fare here at 808 Bistro. I loved the banana bread French toast. The other egg dishes were pretty standard, but nothing really stood out. Good little meal, but wouldn't seek it out again.

    Fantastic breakfast. Hidden, but worth the find. The banana bread French toast and whaler's pie were both phenomenal.

    Legalized addiction. What a great place! After two weeks on Maui it's an easy decision that this is our favourite breakfast spot, and the ONLY place that could honestly claim the best banana bread in Maui. What brought us here was the search for crabcake Benedict, which are fabulous and what brought us back 5 or 6 times during our stay......but then we tried the banana bread French toast and WOAH........it's not really French toast and it's not really banana bread, but it's legalized addiction for sure. I would call it "the best coffee cake" I've ever tasted. My kids wanted it non stop. Good service, tremendous ocean view yet shaded with lots of trees a shrubs and jungle paradise feel. Not a fancy place - shorts and sandals are fine. We went once to Kihei Cafe, and every chance we could to 808 bistro. Hope that helps your choice!!

    Went to this place on our last morning in Maui. Nice little spot, kind of hidden bit good food. The place is casual and right by the beach. I had the banana bread french toast. They were great! My husband had the eggs Benedict and thought they were ok. Rest of the food we had was the basic eggs, bacon etc. And that was good. I would recommend this place.

    Very delicious The wedge had the best lettuce to non-lettuce ratio - tons of tomatoes and onions and a bit of balsamic. Might be the best wedge I've had if it had more blue cheese crumbles. Actually it probably is the best wedge I've had. I'm pretty picky so half of the menu was out of the question for me (fish or veggie-heavy dishes, gross). I ordered the flat iron steak which was legit. It had a Gorgonzola cream and balsamic glaze. Oh and grapes. The grapes were surprisingly perfect topping. Fiancée ordered the clam linguine and enjoyed it. Coming back for breakfast.

    First time yelp has let me down. First the good. The short ribs. They were good, a tiny portion but good. The salad just ok. We had started our salads when literally 3 minutes later out came out entrees. Apparently on Wednesday they had a wedding and the service was atrocious. The waitress apologized and gave us a free dessert but frankly it just wasn't an enjoyable relaxed dinner so we took a brownie to go. I felt like this was our one bomb of a meal on Maui Also a bunch of little kids whining... Not the pricey relaxed night I hoped for

    Well Yelpers, I trusted your advice and you have yet to steer me wrong!! My girlfriend and I came here to conclude our one week stay in Maui paradise. We had a flight to catch at 9:40pm and wanted to have one last meal to remember our trip. We called at 4pm to make reservations at 6pm (they don't open until 5 but you can call ahead of time) and were promptly seated when we arrived. The ambiance is really nice- we were seated outside, the light was dim and they had a pandora Norah jones playlist going (I asked lol). The food was really good- we ordered the linguini with clams (they give you an extra little bowl for your shells) and the daily special which was mahi mahi with a green curry sauce, jasmine rice and mixed vegetables. I also got a small Caesar salad (skip- nothing special). The portions were very generous and it came with focaccia bread. Our server was very sweet and attentive. She told us about the quirky bird who stops by on a daily basis, and asked us about our trip. We also got the bread pudding and ice cream to go (portion was super small so probably would skip that next time) and the coffee was ok. Overall a really special, romantic and cozy little place, and the customer service was great!! Definitely one of my favorites in Maui. Can't wait to return!!!

  • Nate M.

    Had the sunset menu with soup and short ribs and bread pudding for dessert. Soup had good flavor and was perfect paired with their faccacia bread. Short ribs were tender and juicy and marinade was amazing. Bread pudding was good. The Hawaiian bread and alcohol made it a little different then we've had. Service was great and we watched the sunset while we ate. Definitely best place we've eaten so far in Maui and we've been here for 8 days now.

  • Sean K.

    Great staff! Normally I say something about the food first but the staff here was excellent. Super friendly and quick. The Banana Bread French toast is as awesome as everyone says. Two slices is almost too filling but worth having to take an early morning nap for. Will come again before vacation is over.

  • Beth K.

    Recommended by my parents, was all that they described. Nice location with partial ocean view, owner/chef is ON SITE, and great service. We ordered the Ahi and Pork tenderloin. Both were great and priced well for the excellent quality. It was an easy walk for us, but parking did not seem to be an issue. Having patronized the other restauranteurs in the center, this is easily the best. Absolutely would return on a regular basis and would love to try their breakfast. No wine or beer service so remember BYOB Enjoy!!

  • Gina B.

    Amazing atmosphere. Friendly staff and delicious food. Best decision on a place to eat since we've been here. If you want it island style this is your spot. We ordered one of everything and nothing disappointed. A not to miss spot. The crab cakes and the whale pie were to die for.

  • Tommy M.

    Prompt sincere greeting, Excellent, attentive service. I had a flat iron steak glazed in a balsamic, red wine, onion and mushroom reduction with a side of Gorgonzola potato au gratin and broccoli florets sautéed in butter and garlic. Food was top notch. Place is byob and there is a corkage fee. We will definitely return when on Maui.

  • Gabby M.

    Service was great, the food was amazing, we got the short rib pot pie and the gorgonzola pasta mmm really good. Other restaurants take note: this is the way a kid's menu should be! We got the beef roast for our 2 year old...wow every restaurant kid's menu item should be this way...a big hunk of soft stewed beef with sauce, carrots, broccoli and mashed potatoes. My little one couldn't get enough! A great meal was had by all, we will be back!

    BYOB if you didn't know. Best meal I had in Maui. They have a special between 5-6pm. Had soup, chicken pasta, and dessert. It was all super yummy. Also went for breakfast and that's was just as amazing. Banana bread french toast Yikes! I could have eaten more if I was full Service both times was great. Will def come back here whenever in Maui

  • CJ R.

    After reading all the great reviews we decided to try this place for breakfast. I'm not sure what the hoopla is all about the food was average at best. There are far better places in Kihei for sure, such as Sarento's or the 5 Palms.

    Nice quiet quaint place. Partial View of ocean across the street. We had Veggie Brown and bacon and eggs and fruit with banana bread! Coffee was strong and good. Reasonably priced. Will definitely come back again.

  • Celeste T.

    It's nice to sit outside, but walking up to the 808 bistro is walking through a really sketchy, dirty mini-mall with crooked, mismatched benches for bums to sit on and broken newspaper boxes. After that relatively surprising walk up, the restaurant itself is a nice change, but only a bit better cared-for. The floors were different heights in different sections of the restaurant, a tripping hazard and a bit ratty looking. Service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing, and with helpful descriptions of different dishes. The food itself was good, solid breakfast fare (we were there early) but not too exciting, and my benedict sauce didn't taste of lemon at all. Coffee was refilled regularly and quickly. Little birds come and pick food up from under the table, which I thought was cute, though I don't know if I would go back, honestly.

  • Stephen S.

    The Sunset menu of appetizer, entree and dessert for $27 is a great deal. But, we would have eaten there without it. The carrot coconut ginger soup was very good. The BBQ short rids and pasta good and the Hawaiian Bread Pudding with Whisky Sauce and vanilla ice cream was a perfect ending. We also ate breakfast and the Whale Pie and Focaccia Egg Sandwich were unique and tasty.

    (4)

  • Marley R.

    Enjoyed a very great breakfast on our second day here in Maui. Fluffy pancakes. Also got the 2 eggs, hash browns and 2 bacon strips along with toast. Everything tasted great. Waiters are nice & kind. Seating is great it's covered outdoor tables. Will def be returning.

    Crab cake Benedict is a must! And you must definitely order the banana bread french toast, it's moist and one of the best we've ever had!!

    (5)

  • Robbie Y.

    the open patio is awesome, but the food was just ok. We had the farmers omlet, short rib omlet, and banana bread french toast. The Omlets were just regular to me, and although the B.bread french toast was something tasty, I still only give it 3 stars...

    (3)

  • Stephanie M.

    Tucked away behind the main road, you might miss it. Don't make that mistake. Good service, no frills, BYOB. I had the banana bread French toast and eggs and Portuguese sausage. Very good. I do think the banana bread could be sliced thinner so it has more of the classic French toast egg crust but it was delicious. Husband had the crab cake eggs Benedict. Also good. We'll be back for Their sunset menu. :)

    Five star service, staff is very attentive. Food was good--wasn't mind blowing, but it was tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Short Ribs, good flavor but a bit dry. Minus one star. The mashed potatoes and broccoli were tasty. I ordered the Gorgonzola Alfredo, the flavor was right on, but I wish there were more mushrooms and onion. Minus another star. Maybe I should have added shrimp or chicken. Overall a good experience, and nice ambiance.

    Hubby and I were on the search for breakfast (at 11am) lol. Searched yelp and found this place. Very casual vibe, lots of locals come in here. The prices are AWESOME (don't let the two $$ trick ya). My hubby and I orders panini breakfast sandwiches and honestly... By the size of the sandwiches, we could have shared one! We were pleasantly surprised when the food came out and there was a nice side of fruit salad (fresh)! The hubby and I both agree, best breakfast sandwiches in all of Hawaii! Love the local vibe too! Not a lot of room to sit and eat, but you can if you find space... Or just take it to go!

  • Joel B.

    Wow, all i can say is that their pancakes are great! I was very surprised on how consistent their food is. Me and my wife ate here 3 times during our trip. The turkey bacon is just as good. All the best to the chef.

    Delicious banana bread French toast. Portion is big I suggest two French toast. The sausage is delicious as well. We also had the short rib omelette which was amazing over all great experience and great food.

  • Sean W.

    We've been here a few times before and it was always good, but today I may have had the best eggs Benedict of my entire life. They were crabcakes Benny on a grilled focaccia disc, with what was without a doubt an excellent handmade hollandaise!! Do try....

    (5)

  • Paul V.

    We have eaten here at least 6 times during our visits to Maui. The food is always fresh a delicious. You bring your own wine or beer as they don't have a liquor license but this just saves you a lot on the markup. We have our next trip to Maui in 2016 and will definitely visit 808 a couple of times.

    I just returned from a fabulous vacation with my best friend, her daughter, my daughter and my parents. Needless to say it was hard to find places to eat that made everyone in our party happy, but 808 Bistro was a hands down favorite with us! I loved the atmosphere, food and the staff and owners were so nice. We went there for breakfast and dinner a number of times and were never disappointed. We loved the banana bread french toast so much that I purchased a loaf of the bread to bring home to enjoy. Definitely don't miss this gem of a restaurant!

  • Kayan H.

    Great brunch spot. Service was very chill, food was really good. Banana bread French toast - I'm not a huge fan of french toast so this was just okay to me. It was still very banana bread tasting, so if you like that then you'd probably enjoy this. Curry omelet - super delicious! Just the right amount of curry flavor with veggies and meat wrapped up in a 3 egg omelet. If you like curry I'd recommend this.

    We visited this place for dinner- service was great! Our waitress and the staff was great !The ambiance was beautiful- best clam chowder I have ever had- do not be fooled by the 808 deli which is parking lot facing & closed at the dinner hour - follow the gray walkway to the bistro- you will not be disappointed- it is a hidden gem! Enjoy!! We will definitely return to dine again on our next trip to Maui!!

  • Dennis R.

    Found this little hideaway on our last day in Maui. Do yourself a favor and don't make the same mistake we did and check out 808 early as we would have eaten here every morning. Crab Eggs Benedict were delicious but the banana bread French toast is to die for. Don't leave the island without trying.

  • Julia W.

    My husband and I chose this restaurant since it was BYOB and we wanted to try something different. We heard it was a good place to celebrate and so I booked a reservation for the night of our 1 year wedding anniversary. The parking lot was really bad as the stalls were very small and compact. The restaurant is located in the rear so you have to make sure you find the right entrance. It is located in a strip mall with other restaurants nearby so it's good to know if you end up wanting to eat something else. Our waitress was great and we brought our own wine which she kept chilled at our table. The restaurant wasn't too busy and there really was no view so that was disappointing. I ordered the spaghetti with clams thinking it would be like how most restaurants are but instead it was diced up and the spaghetti was pretty spicy. It wasn't my fave meal of the entire trip and my husband's meal was just average. They offer a early dinner special but nothing on there was to our taste. Not a bad place but not our favorite either.

  • Norm G.

    We had breakfast twice here on our recent mini vacation to Maui and I ordered the short rib omelet both times. You will rarely hear me gush (check out my other reviews for a glaring absence of "gushiness"), but folks, I have to tell you, the omelet was to die for! It was so tasty and so unique; my fellow Yelpers hailing from all over the country steered me in the absolute right direction on this one. My kids had the banana bread French toast, and they said it was great, too. The nice man who served us was friendly to all of us, including the kids, joked around with us, and made us feel real welcome. The restaurant is open-air, but under a roof, so if it rains, you'll be fine and dry. It's set back from the main road running through Kihei, and is nice and quiet. 808 Deli is in the front of the building and the restaurant is around the back. Obviously, I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast!

    (5)

  • Lauren T.

    I heard good things from Yelp so I wanted to see what 808 Bistro was about. Our party of 8 showed up to this place at 11 am for breakfast and it was absolutely empty. I was a little weirded out because there were no customers at the restaurant but the reviews don't lie so I stayed optimistic. I got the banana bread french toast along with my plate of eggs, bacon, and fruit. The banana bread is no joke. SO DELICIOUS. Come here just for the banana bread french toast. It is a must. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. Orange juice is freshly squeezed. The service was alright (a little confusing/miscommunication) but nothing to deter me from coming back.

    Best meal we had in hawaii. The short rib was outstanding. BYOB and very reasonable prices. We will be back.

    (5)

  • Regina C.

    I came here for breakfast and had a decent experience. after eating loads of rice and meat for days straight i sort of wanted a typical American breakfast. I got the two eggs, hash browns, toast and Portuguese sausage (go figure I went more Hawaiian with the meat option anyway...). the food was not bad but I wouldn't say there was anything great about it either. we ran into my cousins and they complained that the scrambled eggs were clearly the powdered kind. I later went to foodland and saw their precooked bento...the eggs looked like they were of the powdered variety as well. so i pose the question, is this just something they do in Hawaii to cut cost (eggs were definitely more expensive here than on the mainland)?

    (3)

  • Robert M.

    Been here before and had great service but felt it needed a bit more time to develop. This time they hit out of the park with everything so I'm ready to give my seal of approval. The soup was a special, carrot with ginger in coconut milk - fantastic, and the panco crusted stuffed chicken, a regular item I had not tried thus far, was absolutely delicious. The above, and the fact that it's BYOB with a $5 corkage, on an island famed for having the highest prices for just about everything, makes it a must do for anybody who likes a good wine with dinner but hates paying a 300% markup and hates drinking lesser wines as a result even more. Kristen was my server on this particular visit and she couldn't have acquitted herself better if she'd been in a competition judging all the best attributes to be found in a server. Scott, a principal in the operation, only let that fact be known after I complimented the place thinking he was a busboy - can you imagine a better way of keeping a finger on the pulse of your place? I dine out a lot and 808 Bistro is now on my top 3 list of places to dine on Maui when I want to enjoy wine with my meal without choking on the tab.

  • geoff D.

    Went for breakfast. Got there early and had some omelets. I recommend the curry one super bomb, so good in fact that I forgot to take a picture. Better prices than the other places around. We had Chris as a server and after we ate he gave us directions for a whole days worth of activities and places with the best prices for rentals. Great food and service.

    (5)

  • TJ C.

    Went there for breakfast. It has the trifecta: Great food, great service, great location. If you want a good ol' American breakfast: They have that. If you want to go off the beaten path: They have that too. (I had the "Veggie Browns." They were awesome. People next to us raved about the curry omelette. We had the famous banana bread French Toast as a side dish. Also delish.) This is a fantastic and close alternative to those who want a break from resort breakfasts. Highly recommended!

  • kristen n.

    This place rocks! Had the best breakfast ever here. I ordered one piece of the banana bread French toast. It was the perfect size to fill me up and not feel gross the rest of the day. Only $4! Kids split the traditional eggs Benedict and they ate every last bite. Best thing was what hubby ordered - Whale Pie. It didn't event sound that great but it was phenomenal - hash browns, ham, cheese, egg and smothered in a dark brown gravy. To die for! We were all sad when our food was gone. This place was way better than our breakfast at Kihei Caffe and it was nearly half the price.

    (5)

  • Sarah L.

    It was good food and good atmosphere but I think you can get something more authentically Hawaiian, if you are traveling and that's what you are looking for. If I went back to Maui it wouldn't be one of those places I just have to see again. My three-star review is because the eggs benedict have a strange sauce on them that remind me less of hollandaise and more of mustard egg salad. The banana bread french toast was really good. Coffee is decent.

    (3)

  • Dana M.

    Horrible customer service. We were a party of 5 and when we arrived the server told us he did not have room for us. Granted it was raining and they have a limited amount of seating but a friendly good morning would have been nice. He did not even offer us a wait time and turned down the party of two behind us as well. I live here and work at a nearby hotel and will no longer be sending guests to this establishment. If you are looking for a great breakfast with great service try Kihei Cafe just a little further down the road.

    Right off the bat we knew we were in for a treat at 808 Bistro. We were seated close to the patio railing and really enjoyed the scenic view to the beach and surrounding garden area. The service was fantastic. We kicked off our breakfast with some of the best coffee we have had since coming to Maui. The food was well prepared with great ingredients. The eggs were cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed their Portuguese sausage. We topped off our breakfast with the banana bread French toast... which was an excellent way to satisfy my sweet tooth. 808 Bistro looks like it will be our local regular breakfast place!

    Nice people! Banana Bread: DELICIOUS; still craving more Whale Pie: Too heavy for my taste..and the melted cheese just looked fake for some reason, but still about a 5.5/10 Short Rib Omelette: Jalapenos wooo watch out for those, very tender short rib, but lacked a little in flavor

    Great little spot. Open air seating. It's down a hallway from the parking lot past the deli. I had the curry omelette. Great taste, not spicy hot. Came with hasbrowns and toast. Coffee is good too. Enjoy.

    We just finished a tasty little meal. We took it all to go, because of prior plans, but.... We almost stayed because the atmosphere and staff were so peaceful and inviting. We just had a couple Cesar salads, so kinda hard to screw up. Nether the less, they were tasty Cesar salads and we left wanting more. We do plan on going back with the rest of our family before leaving this magical island. Only gave 4 stars because we just got a small small taste of this hard to find bistro.

  • Melissa V.

    808 Bistro is truly a "hidden gem" in Kihei. Tucked back behind the super-overrated Fred's & Moose's restaurants, you wouldn't even notice it from the street but the atmosphere is open, tropical & very relaxing. My ohana just loves the fact that it's BYOB with no corkage fee! From start to finish, the service was excellent! Hostess was super efficient & friendly. Server was quick & very nice as well. Loved the gentleman doing all the food running, explaining each dish as he served it with a great attitude. Even the owner came over to check on us & was just genuinely concerned with how we were doing (rare these days). We were a party of six celebrating my Auntie's birthday, and the restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night. The appetizers were all fantastic! We ordered the Humboldt Fog Goat Cheese Platter, Warm Crab Dip & the Johnny Wellington lamb bites (amazing!) Good portions, too. Everyone ordered different entrees & I have to say that each one was just to die for! We all loved the menu, with different choices of foods you don't really see being served everywhere on Maui...refreshing. My husband & I both had the trio of Mahi with ratatouille & jasmine rice. All 3 preparations were fabulous with the fish cooked to perfection. My Auntie had the Alfredo pasta which was just wonderful, Mom had the pork and beans and we were all impressed with that dish. The cannelini beans with spinach & spice level of the pork was divine! My Dad had the Short Rib Pot Pie.....wow! You gotta wait a few minutes before digging into that one because it comes out HOT! Tons of flavor & a huge portions on all dishes. Since it was a birthday party we got a free Brownie Sundae that was delicious! We also ordered the Bananas Foster which we all loved as well. All the other diners in the restaurant joined us in singing "Happy Birthday" which was unexpected & fun! Seemed like the whole place was enjoying themselves, truly a great vibe all the way around. We have lived on Maui for 12 years, are foodies & always looking for new & exciting places to dine. 808 Bistro is now always in the front of my mind to recommend to anyone living on or visiting Maui! 5 stars! Mahalo for a great evening & can't wait to come back again sooner than later!

    Had my first dinner and it was a great experience. The staff is super friendly. I started with the "small" version of the chopped salad, which was great and also not very small. Decided to go off of fish for a day, so I tried the stuffed chicken breast. Quite tasty. Cozy place although the walk through the building to find the restaurant is not super pleasant. Will definitely return.

    Friendly service, tucked away with great view of greenery and beach, tasty basic breakfast food, plus banana bread French toast was an extra treat. Very reasonable prices. Quiet setting. A great way to start the day for husband's birthday. We wanted something more down to earth and homey than the big resort breakfasts or buffets.

    This is one our favourite restaurants in Maui. Food is consistently excellent and flavourful and the service is friendly, casual and attentive. It is BYOB with a nominal corkage. The short ribs and short ribs pot pie are favourites, but everything on the menu is great. Access it from behind Fred's Mexican, but situated with a lovely courtyard and garden with ocean views at certain tables.

    Still providing a consistently great meal! This review is for their breakfast, which is served from 7am-noon daily. I tried the much-lauded banana bread French toast this time, and wasn't sure what to expect. What I found was a dense slice (I only ordered one slice, though you can get as many as you'd like) only partially coated in the egg mixture. It was more banana bread than typical French toast, but was still good. I'm glad I only ordered the single slice, because that meant I could get the bagel and lox. Not typical island food, I know, but still well done. I was offered a plain or everything bagel (I went with the latter) which arrived lightly toasted and served with diced (!) onions and diced (!) tomatoes, capers and three slices of lox, as well as a healthy serving of cream cheese. For both, the total came to $12.50, which isn't unreasonable given usual island pricing.

    I eat at the 808 Deli quite often as it's one of my favorite places to grab lunch! I hadn't paid much attention to the bistro until a co worker told me about it....simply amazing!!! My fiancé and I will be making dinner their a regular routine!! The atmosphere is serene and tucked away in the back covered in trees!! Food was wonderful, staff was efficient, a don't miss kinda place!!

    This was the Highlight of my trip to Maui!!! (food-wise anyway) BYOB!! i didnt know so we didnt have anything. :/ This place is kind of small, and people tend to stay a long time because its BYOB. So when we got there I thought we wouldn't have to wait very long because we were the only ones there waiting for a table!. BUT i was wrong.. we waited like half an hour? but the hostess was always updating us. There were 6 of us and they asked if it was okay to squeeze a little and we didn't care. Got to our table, and our server was really nice. They brought us bread with this butter spread that all of us found amazing! I dont know what was in there but it was good. We even had a 2nd basket! (shouldn't have though, we were sooo stuffed) anyways, the server took our order, and the host came to us with complementary crab dip because we had to wait so long for our table and that a big order went into the kitchen before ours so our entrees will take a while too. OMGG! the crab dip was REALLY GOOD. I wanted to order it but I figure it would be too much food. but WOW. so good, you really taste the crab and its not too cheesy. Entrees: Pork chop- pork was tender and really juicy, stuffing was amazing (it had some macadamia nuts in it) Mahi mahi ginger sauce- perfectly grilled, very fresh Boneless short ribs - very tender and saucy Afterwards we really wanted to try some dessert but we were totally stuffed! :/ I loved this place so much that I wanted to come back a 2nd time during our short 5 day trip to Maui!. And I usually want to try as many different things as i can while I'm visiting. Everyone says to go to Mama's fish house or whatever, I went there too but i say go to 808 BISTRO!

    We dined here on a Thursday morning and it was pretty dead but we were there pretty early. It was nice having almost the entire place to ourselves though. I had the crab cake Benedict and I had never had anything like that before and it was perfect and exactly what I was hoping it would be. My wife had the focaccia and enjoyed it. We ordered our son the banana french toast and that was amazing and oh so good.

  • Heather B.

    We went here so that we could eat and watch the ocean, but we got a seat where we couldn't see it. That was my own fault, though, for not asking. There are probably only 3-4 seats where the ocean would be visible. We both ordered off of the sunset menu, which was $25 for a 3 course meal. I got: clam chowder, good, and quite different than normal. Gorgonzola chicken Alfredo, pretty good. And a brownie sundae, which was also very good, a little rich for me, but hubby loved it. Hubby got the garden salad, and pork tenderloin which were both good. I'm used to eating cheaper fare, so the price was a bit much, but it was good food, and there was more than I could eat.

    Because I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I am accustomed to eating excellent casual cuisine made from fresh ingredients. My visit to Bistro 808 was consistent with that experience and what I was hoping I could find on Maui. The bistro does not look like much from the outside. Don't be put off. The food is excellent, and you can tell that the restaurant puts a great deal of care into the eating experience. The coffee, for example, is the best I've ever had in Hawaii. So many restaurants in the islands serve poor coffee of even Starbucks. Why? You have some of the best coffee in the world here, local. Bistro 808 seems to understand that as they served us multiple cups of freshly brewed Hawaiian coffee. Also, while the restaurant itself is not very impressive to look at, one look at their line kitchen will tell you that they're not fooling around. I had the Portuguese omelet and shared the Banana French Toast. This made for what was easily the best meal I've had at least in the last six months and really a wonderful, laid back experience. I've been to Maui four times, and I consider this among the top 5 restaurants on the island.

    Love this place, great outside setting, friendly staff. The Curry omelette is amazing. I'm not a huge curry fan, but I thought I'd give it a try. That's all I get now whenever we are in town.

    They do food really well. Mashed potatoes are sooo good and I normally only like my own. I had the iron steak with balsamic reduction. Wow! Perfectly cooked. If you get there before 6 they have a great $25 3-course option.

    I know that the standards are different in Maui. With that in mind, I still don't see what was to like here. Both the food and service were quite unremarkable. We found better choices elsewhere in Kihei for breakfast.

  • Christina L.

    This place is tucked away in a little shopping center. I ate at Kihei cafe twice and was drawn here by all the Yelp reviews for the banana bread french toast and short rib omelette. Those 2 items are by far the best things on their menu. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable - my family of 4 (adults) shared 3 plates: Whale Pie, Short-rib Omelette, and 3 pieces of Banana Bread French Toast. Short Rib Omelette - I think this was the star of the meal, like everyone else's opinion here. The omelette was large, the short rib was spicy and flavorful, not salty, and the veggies and cheese were perfectly balanced. The hashbrowns were crispy and delicious. The flavor was unique and not like many other omelettes I have had in the past. Banana Bread French Toast - Pretty much just like you think it would be - banana bread slices, dipped in batter and fried on each side. Probably not the healthiest for you, but tasted great with some maple syrup. I don't think I'd claim this to be the "best french toast in the world", but it was certainly unique, different, and tasty. It's probably wise to split it with other people since eating 1/3 of a loaf of banana bread is probably not the best for you. Whale Pie - Just like it sounds: hashbrowns, ham, and eggs with gravy. We got the gravy on the side, which was nice because we could control how much we put on. Nothing to really write home about, I could make this by myself at home too. They did have great hashbrowns though - just the right amount of crispiness. We all loved this place and it was a nice change from Kihei Cafe, which is right down the street. The ambiance is nice and relaxed. Definitely get the short rib omelette and banana bread toast if you come!

    This place is a little hidden, in the back of the plaza downstairs, you will find it by looking for the black and white checkered tile floor. The sign is easy to spot on the street side, so park in the far back and follow the signs to 808 bistro! Whale pie, and banana bread french toast with a nice cold glass of POG juice does the trick and will leave you full and satisfied. The service here is great! Sit by the side for the beach view and enjoy!

    If I could rate this 3 1/2 I would. We were staying at the andaz in Wailea and came across this place through yelp. We went after Mass on a Sunday. It's a small place with an outside patio. We came for breakfast. The food was good, nothing crazy great, but a good satisfying breakfast. It gives your wallet a break which is nice. They do need to work on cleanliness, the floors were dirty and the grounds need to cleaned and maintained which is why I rated it a 3. The place is a bit hidden, it's not the deli, you walk through a path to get to the restaurant. They do not serve alcohol fyi. Service was excellent. I highly recommend the Whales Pie for breakfast.

  • Aurora D.

    We showed up just after 7am on a weekday and were unsure the place was open. We had it completely to ourselves. But Chris (the owner's brother) took excellent care of us, got us seated, waited on us himself, and gave us some good conversation, to boot. My husband had the banana bread French toast and proclaimed it excellent. I had the curry omelet, something I'd never heard of before: it was delicious and unusual, two of my favorite things. The coffee was VERY good, even on an island known for such, and was topped off so frequently I had to cut myself off before I got the jitters. The nicest surprise was my son's breakfast. He's three and tends to stick to the known quantities even when given wide choices. He ordered the granola, yogurt, fruit plate: required for all breakfast menus. But when it arrived, it contained some of the sweetest, freshest cantaloupe, pineapple, and strawberries I've ever had. Even with my delicious omelet, I was still picking fruit off his plate. I highly recommend this spot for breakfast. Good food, good service, and a fantastic outdoor dining room with an ocean view across South Kihei Road.

  • Kim D.

    This place is totally underrated. Excellent food & service. Cool outdoor garden seating. Nice night lighting. Their Pot pie is amazing. So is the crab dip, lettuce wedge salad and seared ahi.. Everything we've tried has been awesome. They are getting their liquor license soon, (the bar area looks really nice and has lots of fresh air) so that should improve business! However right now it is still BYOB, so bring your favorite bottle(s)! Only $5 corkage fee. Great option when you want to go out for a great dinner and not spend tons of $$. If you are thinking of going to Fred's you should definitely try this place instead!!

    I'm hesitant to give 808 Bistro 3 stars, since I definitely do not consider it "A-OK." But two stars would be a bit harsh. Boring breakfast food. I've never had a "Belgian waffle" that was as thin as a normal waffle. When I asked why they call it a Belgian waffle, the answer was "Because that's what the waffle batter bag says it is." OK, and then when you put that batter in a normal waffle iron, you get this tasteless flat dough-ball. Banana French toast was tasty, coffee was good, Portuguese sausage was fine. And service was good, aided no doubt by the fact the place was only 1/4 full. Much better alternatives for breakfast in Kihei.

  • Sara S.

    This place has GREAT coffee. Rumor has it the owner loves coffee and it shows in his choice of brew. This place is tucked away with a lovely patio, surrounded by greenery and a view of the ocean. The service was good and the food was delicious. If you are looking for a good place to get a good breakfast -- bacon, eggs, etc. -- go here. It's the best *Just Breakfast* we found in the Kihei/Wailea area. Plus, the banana bread french toast was amazing. And it's reasonably priced! Two adults, two kids for under $40 with tip.

    Much nicer, more relaxed atmosphere than tourist magnet, Kihei Cafe. Got a seat overlooking their garden set back off South Kihei Road. We appreciated not feeling like cattle ordering your breakfast in line at Kihei Cafe: 'folks could you please scoot up to the person in front of you, no need to hold hands, but just trying to maximize space for everybody', ah really?!! We were so outta there! At 808 Bistro, I ordered their Lox & Everything bagel (4 stars) that was huge and delicious. No chincy slices of salmon here. My Friend ordered their Veggie Brown or herb omelet with hash browns (4 stars). This portion was also huge & probably best split between two people, seriously. Service was not rushed and friendly. Waiter mentioned we should stop in for drinks at the 5 Palms as he also works there. Twist my arm, don't mind if I do.

    Breakfast in Maui~ Had a nice relaxing breakfast here on our first day in Maui. The wait staff was very friendly. We sat ourselves in the patio where we can get a glimpse of the beach. the husband ordered short rib omelet and I had my usually breakfast plate with Portuguese sausage. and we also ordered french toast banana bread. It wasn't out of the ordinary. Coffee was just ordinary also.

  • R C.

    We came here from Kaanapali which took about 30mins in what I assume might have been rush hour considering it was a weekday before 9am. There was easy street parking & it is located in the backside of this not so great looking building. just follow the signs to the actual restaurant entrance. I gave it four stars * for maui. It is good, decent, normal. A few things could turn this into a really nice joint. Like raw sugar, table cloths, freshly squeezed juice, some garden renovation, better entrance, serve alcohol, maybe some hawaiian music etc. Would go back.

    We wanted to have a breakfast somewhere other than our hotel buffet. Yelp took us to 808 bistro and we weren't disappointed. Good restaurant coffee and fast friendly service! The Portuguese sausage was great, the hash-browns were good and the breakfast sandwich on focaccia with avocado was fresh and huge. Oh and it was inexpensive!!

  • Michael S.

    808 Bistro is a winner. The service we received from here was probably the best we got on the entire island during our honeymoon, and that includes much pricier establishments like Mama's Fish House. The short rib pot pie was very good - it was a nice change from the fish that we ordered almost every other night. Usually these types of dishes suffer a bit because they're prepped far in advance and heated to order... but I was really happy with mine. My wife was also happy with the ahi. I love that they do BYOB - the $5 corkage fee got us an ice bucket for beer as well as fresh chilled glasses with each new drink. We had four Mana Wheats between us - that would have cost more than $20 in most other restaurants but here it was the $1.50 per can we spent at Safeway plus the $5 corkage. A great way to save money and get the exact beverage you want. An added bonus was the great view of the sunset as well as watching a bunch of feral cats playing around in the grassy courtyard right by the seating area! The next time we come to Maui, we will definitely be back.

    We came back to 808 Bistro after discovering this place 2 years ago the last time we were in Maui. We had to come back after eating here for breakfast multiple times. We fell in love with there Short Rib Omelet dish. 5 Stars!!!! I would salivate just thinking about how good it was. On our most recent trip to the island we looked forward to our spot and when we came back to 808 it was just like before beautiful shaded outdoor seating and we were greeted by the staff and our server was super friendly. Guess what I ordered when we came back? Yep the Short Rib Omelet. But sadly I felt it wasn't the same like last time. I felt like the Short Ribs I had before were more seasoned and had an herb sour cream topping. It was still a very good omelet for sure, but just not the same. : ( I went again a couple of days later just try it again but again still missing that flavor. I would still highly recommend this place. My wife and I were staying at the Grand Wailea which is about a 5 minute drive and it beats there way overpriced Denny's caliber buffet breakfast they offer for ($70) for 2. A great option for breakfast. I'm a fan. I will definitely come back to 808 Bistro anytime I'm in Maui for Breakfast.

  • Sam M.

    Came here for brunch with a few friends. Two of the egg dishes we had were solid, nothing too special. The curry omelette however was really interesting and quite delicious; something I've never had before. Additionally, we all shared a piece of the banana bread French toast--simply divine. Forget exploring the menu. Stick with those two items and you won't be disappointed.

  • Tricia S.

    Went here for breakfast and it was excellent! Portions are large, food had lots of flavor, and we enjoyed the open air ambiance. I had the short rib omelet which had jalapeños, sour cream, cabbage and carrots. It had just enough spice! It was accompanied by a nice hash and Hawaiian sweet bread toast. Definitely recommend this place!

  • Michelle-Joyce N.

    3.5 stars because: Pros: - Friendly customer service - Banana nut bread French toast - Unpretentious setting and ambiance Cons: - Although friendly, workers can be more attentive to guests - While dishes in the menu tasted fine, nothing stood out too much (except banana nut bread French toast) to warrant a top brunch place in my book.

  • Kathi K.

    Wonderful find. Were looking for something outside the resort area with great food. This was it!!! Outside breeze and a selection that means we will be back. It's BYOB which was an attraction as my wine loving spouse found some on his bucket list in the area. So much better than the 50% plus mark up at the resort restaurants on wine. We are going back for breakfast too.

  • M T.

    Went for dinner: Saw the good reviews and gave it a try. TOTAL LET DOWN! Server was very friendly but absent most of the time. Long periods of time between appetizer and entrees and desert. Not a bad thing of the food is good, but it is NOT. Server said braised short ribs were their specialty so I ordered them on her suggestion. Beef had absolutely no flavor and no seasoning. Only the BBQ sauce poured over it gave it the only added flavor, and it was just ok BBQ sauce. Veggies were only broccoli and it was steamed with absolutely no other flavor, no butter, no seasoning. Other entree was the flat iron steak--also a very mediocre steak and not very enjoyable meal. I truly think a 3rd grader can cook better then this!!! I don't mind spending maui prices on a good meal but this was truly a waste of money.

    Went here for breakfast on a Wednesday. It was an adventure following the signs from the parking lot to the restaurant. We were greeted with a "grab a menu and sit anywhere you like." I got the short rib omelet. It was good. I would come again.

    **CREATIVE FUSION BRUNCH MENU - TRY THE FRENCH TOAST** BYOB. We should have thought of that when we asked for a Bloody Mary. They have a Bloody Mary Bar, but it would have been better if you bought your own vodka bottle. MUST ORDER: *BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST (2 slices $7) - Whoa. It was insanely delicious. Moist, sweet, and flavorful with every bite. Ryan ordered the short rib omelet, but he preferred the French Toast. The short rib tasted like taco seasonings. Service was a bit slow and sporadic, but the staff was friendly regardless. RECOMMEND the French Toast and BYOB.

    My husband and I were staying right across the street so we decided to give it a try for dinner. This place is BYOB. The service was great! Very friendly staff. However, the food offered nothing special. We were disappointed that many of the menu choices were things we could find back home in Texas. The one "local" item we saw was Maui Maui. If you like short ribs or pork tenderloin this place is worth a try. Very limited seafood options. The breakfast menu looked pretty good.

    Yelp'ed 'breakfast' while staying in Wailea and this place popped up. It was one of the higher rating eateries at a reasonable price. Although the seating is open and outdoorsy, the food was good. They had unique dishes, such as short ribs omelet and Whaler's pie (hash browns topped with ham, eggs, cheese, and gravy - a twist on loco moco?). On the dinner menu, they had a short ribs pot pie which sounded interesting too. Service 5-stars, ambiance casual, food decent, no wait...oh, and don't forget to BYOB!

    Showed up for the Sunset Menu between 5-6 pm...we were seated at a little table with a partial ocean view.Limited 3 course menu, soup or salad, my entree was the short ribs ( best I've ever had ) choice of 3 desserts , I had the brownie sundae, yum! My husband opted off the regular menu, had the best flat iron steak he'd ever had! The owner/chef checked on us and visited for quite a while. Our server Kristen, was fantastic. We are so glad we found this hidden gem in a great little setting. Looking forward to going back soon. P.S. Very reasonable $$

    My family and I went here for breakfast. It was really, really good. I'd recommend the "unusual" omelets: the Short-rib and the Curry. Both were excellent and off-the-beaten-path. My daughter had the Banana Bread French Toast. Oh man, indulgent and delicious. My wife and I were totally stealing bites from her. We were completely happy with what we ordered. Great breakfast place with a small view of the ocean. The service was pretty good and the staff very friendly. I'd recommend this place for a relaxing late morning breakfast.

    Best food I've had on my trip here. Its my last day wish I'd found it earlier! Atmosphere is fantastic, the garden is beautiful wind blowing through the trees, ocean crashing in the backround. Wish I could bring all my buddies here to kick it (plus you can BYOB). Staff super chill and friendly and don't hate on you if you come in with your surfboard and suit straight from the beach. This would be my go to spot if I lived here (if only) Banana bread french toast is no joke. Needs no syrup or butter. Fruit was fresh and delish it included honeydew, cantalope, strawberries, pineapple and watermelon.

    My friends from Wailea meet us at 808 Bistro for dinner every month or so. The food has alwys been good, although I often order the same thing, Chicken Cordon Bleu. They also allowed us to bring our own wine and charged a minimal corking fee. What really impresses us is that the owner has been there every time and greets all the guests and helps the wait staff.The owner is dedicated and makes the customers feel special. The decor is OK and the location is tucked in the back and feels a bit like you are in a wooded environment, even thought you're right off S. Kihei Rd.

  • Michelle K.

    This is a byob place with a $5 corking fee so be prepared and bring your own wine. I really liked being able to bring a bottle of wine I know I like and can buy for a better price even with the corking fee. The fresh baked bread with tropical butter was my absolute favorite part of the dinner it was unlike any bread and butter I have been served before. We also ordered the crab dip which was good. For a main dish we had the short ribs and the flat iron steak both good and reasonably priced no matter where you are. The only thing we ordered that I did not like was the bananas foster the macadamia nut were burned not toasted.

    Location/view is amazing! Views to the beach and a very lush garden. Background music were perfect for a nice comfortable and romantic breakfast. The service met our expectations. The food in itself was good. But the banana bread French toast was mind blowing.

    Came here on a Saturday morning at 10am. No wait, barely anyone there actually. I think we beat the old folks rush and was way early for the brunch folks. Excellent service. The girl who helped us memorized our orders and recited it back to us. Love it when they can do that. I ordered the Portuguese sausage plate with scrambled eggs and Hawaiian bread. Everyone on yelp were raging about the banana bread french toast, so I ordered one slice of it on the side to share. You *have* to get it. It was so moist and delicious! I thought I'd only want a bite, but just one bite wasn't enough.

    We celebrated our 40th anniversary in Maui, have eaten at 6 other restaurants all week, and are very happy we are ending the week here with the best food and service at the 808 Bistro. From the appetizers through dessert, with seven of us pretty much sampling the whole menu, everything we had was great, from the excellent service to the final desserts. Kudos to the 808 Bistro and thanks! Rick & Debbie from Florida

    OMG. Banana Bread French Toast is a must try at Bistro 808. All other food were good, but the French Toast is all you need to know. Money well spent here. In addition, you seat yourself.

    Amazing food, excellent service, and beautiful views of the ocean. I had the focaccia breakfast sandwich (yum), my husband had eggs Benedict which was creamy and delicious, and we shared the banana bread french toast with our son which is to die for! Will definitely return!

    Great breakfast. Large portions. Very fast and attentive service. Setting is nice too. Whale pie is good as is the egg sandwich. Would come again. Good prices compared to resorts.

    I really want to give it another try because the other reviews are really promising and seem to have had a very different experience than our's. Service was great, coffee was delicious. The location is super beautiful and unique. It reminds me of a secret clubhouse. It's BYOB so they offer carafes of OJ and bloody mary mix to accompany the bottle of vodka in your purse. A nearby table brought a bottle of champagne to make mimosas. How darling! Crab-cake benedict, that sounded great! But it had fallen apart and the bread it was on was soaked by the time you got 1/4 into it. They need to use some sort of binding agent in the cake (breadcrumbs) and a bread crustier than foccacia. It had no structure or crunch. Would love the opportunity to re-review but we're not dying to go back. I think our visit was a fluke though.

    This review is long overdue. The food is delicious, the service is great, the location and view are fantastic, the prices are good, and the owner is awesome. On a visit to Maui a few years ago my boyfriend (now husband) and I went to 808 Bistro a few times and liked everything about it so much that we decided to have our wedding reception there - all of our guests loved it and we had a great experience working with everybody at 808 Bistro. My husband, family, and I have tried multiple menu items and have enjoyed everything. I recommend this restaurant to anybody eating in the Kihei area - I can't wait to go back and eat there again!

  • Young K.

    Kinda nice neat place. But my husband and I were disappointed for food. We ordered banana bread french toast and I can't remember exact name for the other. That was beef and rice with gravy sauce. Food was not too too special. Maybe I expected too much.

  • Annie C.

    Wow wow!!! Best banana bread I have ever had! And it was made into French toast! So moist and flavorful I didn't put anything on it except butter. My husband got the Whales Pie and liked that too. Love the patio atmosphere. Yummy!

  • Ange B.

    Delicious! Just came for breakfast this morning and everyone loved what they had and want to come back again soon. The banana bread french toast is delicious and you must try it, you can order it by the slice which is great.

  • Russ S.

    Ok. I was in Maui for four days and ate here every morning for breakfast. The best thing about the place was our server Chris. He was funny, friendly and laid back. People like that make me want to move to Maui. The food - I had the Veggie Hash Browns with eggs three of the days with one slice of the Banana Bread French Toast. The veggie has browns were simple and the veggies were not over cooked. They were not greasy at all. With a little hot sauce they were the perfect hangover breakfast. The banana bread french toast was so light and fluffy. Fantastic! With coconut syrup this would have been the bomb. I also tried the curry omelet. This too was really good and different. The coffee was prefect, the earthy kind you only get in Hawaii. One of my favorite things was the fact that you can bring your own alcohol to accompany your meal. I brought vodka for breakfast for which Chris gave us some bloody marry mix. That set me right for more cocktails later in the day. The outdoor seating is quaint and peaceful with a peak-a-boo view of the ocean. We saw many of the same guests there on each visit, so we were not alone in digging this place.

    Breakfast: we were early at around 8:30am so got the seats right away. Everything was great. but our favorite was the Amazing Focaccia bread egg sandwich... Must try. The Mahi Mahi for breakfast was fresh. We also got the banana bread French toast to go, which turned out good too. Must try place of you around this area :)

  • Lulu T.

    Short Rib Omelet was very unique and tasty. The marinated pulled pork and vegetables are a great combination. Banana bread french toast was unfortunately only OK. We read a lot about it on Yelp but were a bit disappointed. It was too sweet and didn't have enough texture. I guess we are more accustomed to the texture and flavors or Brioche french toast. Bagel & Lox were good. The bagel had good texture and density as is expected from a yummy bagel. Service is friendly and dining area on the patio is clean and comfortable.

    I should have listened to the reviews and had breakfast here instead. Despite its fantastic location, nice atmosphere (if you ignore the fact that 50% of the strung up twinkle lights were burned out) and being BOYB (love this), dinner was just "okay." My husband and I split the Caribbean Mahi Mahi. Presentation was lacking, but it was cooked well and seasoned in a jerk rub, and covered in a tasty pineapple and tomato salsa. The owner came by to say hello and make sure we were enjoying ourselves. We complemented him on his jerk rub - my husband asked, "is that cinnamon I taste?" The owner admitted that he wasn't sure what was in the rub, but he could bring us the bottle it came from to see... My heart sank. Even I make my own jerk seasoning. Service overall was great. Our waitress was kind and knowledgeable. I'm really glad we made reservations. The place filed up fast, and when we left, there were at least 3 parties waiting to be seated. I definitely plan to return the next time I'm in Maui... To try their breakfast.

    Excellent place for breakfast! The service was friendly and attentive and the food was great. We shared a short rib omelette with hash browns and banana bread french roast. Make sure to get Cholula sauce for the omelette. Both items were excellent and we finished our plates. Free refills on coffee or tea! Prices are reasonable for the quality and amount of food that you get. Highly recommended!!

  • Kim W.

    This place is a little hidden in the complex and you'll need to walk to the back to find it. The breakfast is quite a delicious option here and it's not overly crowded. I had the banana bread french toast which was literally banana bread with egg on it. What a different way to eat banana bread and I really enjoyed it. We also ordered the crab cake benedict which was equally delicious and the side of hash especially so. Highly recommend this for a good brunch in Kihei!

  • Dusty B.

    I went back for dinner. And, it was pretty good. I had a salad with a side of shrimps. The shrimps were kind of cold. But, overall, it was acceptable. There menu is very limited. And, if you don't eat red meat, you'll have very few choices. Oh, we also had a smoked salmon tart. And, it was really tasty.

    Best sandwiches on the island! Actually best sandwiches anywhere. The two owners used to be head chefs in one of the fancy hotels on the island but left to open the sandwich shop where they now make wonderful food.

    As much as I want love everything in Maui, there were a few experiences that were subpar. This place is not all out terrible, but there's probably a reason why there was one couple before my wife and I, who left as we entered, and then a family who arrived after we left. Compared to the other busy breakfast places we went to, this place was dead. I ordered the whale pie while my wife got the fresh fruit plate. As is with most fruit plates, anything in season is delicious and anything out of season was tart. Nothing bad or amazing there. My whale pie was actually really disappointing. They start with some pretty good hash browns, and add a huge slice of ham on it, and then drown it all in a super salty gravy. The salt content of this dish was just overpowering to me, and this is from a guy who likes spam and eggs in the morning. The gravy on the ham was too much for me, and I ended up mostly just eating the hash browns. Service was actually friendly and decent, and the food came out quickly. No negative marks there. It's just that the whale pie was THAT bad.

    Great food. Great service. Mahi mahi was perfect. We also had breakfast while we were in Maui. The crab cake benedict is fabulous. The breakfast is why we came with 6 friends and everyone had a great time. Ribs, pork tenderloin, mahi mahi. What a lovely end to a Maui vacation

    This was the best breakfast we had during our stay in Maui. The short rib omelet was perfect and the banana bread french toast was delicious! Laid back, friendly service in a lovely setting. We will be going back on our next trip!

  • Alyssa M.

    Yay! Found my new breakfast spot in Maui :-) Leave it to me and my sis to spot the "byob" under the restaurant's sign as we were about to drive into the parking lot. In true brunch lush fashion, we continuing driving to the nearby ABC store to cop a bottle of bubbly. Yay, Mimosas! When we arrive we are greeted by a very friendly hostess. We were seated promptly and brought an ice bucket and mimosa glasses. I ordered the short rib omelette and my sis ordered the banana bread french toast. The omelet was pretty good-eggs were cooked perfectly! I'm only knocking a star off because I thought the beef could be more flavorful and moist. The hash browns and sweet hawaiian bread were delicious! The banana bread french toast was off the chain!--and I don't even like bananas, but this bread was so flavorful and moist--it's a must try! 4 stars for great service, byob, chill setting, and that banana bread french toast! This place is definitely better than the Kihei cafe next door.

    This was highly rated on Yelp and it wasn't too far from the hotel in Wailea that we were staying at, so my friends and I decided to check it out. It has outdoor seating with covering overhead. It seemed like a clean place and we had very friendly service. We ordered one piece of the banana french toast to try it out. No joke, best french toast combo I've had! The ham and egg with hash brown plate I ordered was not bad, but I seriously wish I had ordered a few more pieces of the banana french toast instead!

  • John M.

    My family and I had breakfast here a couple times during our recent trip to Maui and our experience was great. It's open, patio type seating with a garden feel and ocean view off in the distance. Both times we ate there, we walked right in and were quickly greeted by nice, friendly servers. We tried the Whale Pie, Crab Cakes, Banana Bread French Toast, Parfait, and the Foccacia Breakfast Sandwich. All were good, but especially awesome was the Whale Pie. That was the hands-down favorite of my entire family and we all highly recommend it. It's simple and hearty, but has great flavor. We liked it so much, our whole family was talking about how to duplicate it so we can make it for ourselves when we get back home. The crab cakes were also very good. The BB French Toast had good flavor but it is very sweet especially with syrup. If we get back to Maui, we will definitely visit the 805 Bistro again for breakfast.

    Nice little gem. It's a little hard to find - hurried in the back of a complex - but well worth it. My wife and I had the egg sandwich and banana bread french toast for breakfast, and both were fantastic. Our server was nice and quick. The patio is really fun - lots of birds chirping nearby. Food is great. Service is great. Atmosphere is great. Prices are great. 5 stars!

    This place is amazing! We came here three times during our 4 night stay in the Wailea area. Every meal was delish and I couldn't stop saying to my family that my dish was so good! This is what we had~ Dinner: Short rib Pot Pie Pork and Beans Kids shared Short Ribs Breakfast: Whaler's Pie Banana Bread French Toast Curry Omelette and Crispy Hash Bagel and Lox Breakfast: Eggs, Portugese Sausage and Hash Veggie Hash with Herb Scrambled Eggs Kids had Yogurt with Fruit and Granola Cute hidden, outdoor restaurant with view of the sunset and great service. I highly recommend dining here.

    Came here for dinner tonight and was VERY impressed! We arrived and were quoted a 15 min wait. They offered to open out bottle of wine while we waited which I thought was nice. (BYOB place) We were seated shortly after and attended to by every staff member on the floor. The bread and butter was delish! Followed by a caesar salad, stuffed chicken with garlic mash for me and a steak with blue cheese crust for my date. It was AMAZING! And at $20 a plate i wasn't upset because the food was quality and the portions were large. We left with a smile and will enjoy the leftovers in our breakfast tomorrow :)

    Review is on dinner. My husband and I ate here on day 6 of our Maui trip after checking out Yelp reviews. We arrived half an hour before they closed so it was dark and didn't get to see the view from their outdoor seating. It's a cute smaller restaurant located off the main street in Kihei. NOTE: they do not sell alcohol but do offer BYOB and do not charge corkage fees. Entrees: Good quality and tasty with decent prices. I had the Flat Iron Steak ($22) with the balsamic reduction preparation (balsamic cooked with onions and mushrooms-sweet and savory flavor) and husband had Boneless short ribs ($19). Steak arrived perfectly medium rare as I ordered which came with a side of blue cheese au gratin potatoes and veggies, the short ribs came with garlic mashed potatoes and veggies. Both tender, delicious and meat portions were larger. Dessert: MUST try the Lava Bar. Warm brownie topped with coconut flakes, toasted macadamia nuts drizzled with caramel and chocolate fudge with a scoop of chocolate ice cream and whipped cream-what's not to like..it was amazing! Service: Good. Very attentive and food came out quickly. Great place to try out if you want a break from hawaiian food. Best part is that they gave us a coupon for free banana bread french toast. I def want to be back for breakfast.

  • Tyler V.

    The great reviews proved right! Banana Nut French toast was amazing! My wife ordered the short rib omelette and I ordered the whales pie. Both great dishes and was amazed at the size portion. Great meal to start the day to fill you up and start on your daily activities in Maui. Fast and friendly service and I will be back again!

  • Jim H.

    This place is great for breakfast. With all the overpriced options in Maui this place was a welcomed treat. Outdoor seating and BYOB exceeded my expectations (There is something very fulfilling about bring your own alcohol to a restaurant in Maui) . Two words "WHALE PIE". You wont regret it.

  • Mark B.

    My wife and I are in Maui for our honeymoon. Looked up Yelp and checked out 808 Bistro. Called ahead for reservations. Ordered the short rib pot pie and the flat iron steak. Now I've been to a lot of steak houses including some 5star ones in Las Vegas, this by far has the best steak I have EVER had. Ohhh and the "bring your own beverage" ByOb was definitely a plus!!! We even exchanged wines with some of the other guests who came with their own beverages.

  • Lori B.

    Came here for breakfast. Sat on the patio which has a slight view of the ocean. Ordered banana bread French toast and focaccia bread egg sandwich with ham and extra crispy hash browns. Both were delicious!!! Tasted better than the hotel food and much less expensive.

    (5)

  • Nathan M.

    Simply wonderful! I had the pork and beans and it had an explosion of taste in my mouth. I also tried the braised short ribs with mash potatoes which were super moist and tender with a great taste. If your feeling like you need more go for the Brownie Sunday because it's just the right size! The environment was quite, quaint and was across the street from the ocean thus you could see/hear the waves crashing while you enjoyed your meal. Everyone that worked here was super friendly and helpful!

  • Doreen B.

    I think if I had a heart attack while eating that heavenly rich crab dip, it would've been ok with me on that lanai facing the Kihei sunset. I only say that because that's how decadent that dip was. There had to have been 1/2 lb. of crab meat in that ramekin. Mostly crab, so I think they should call it shelled crab with a light sauce on top. Truly decadent - so heavenly. I had the short ribs and hubby had the flat iron steak. Both were cooked to perfection with meat so tender, I'm unsure of why they even had knives on the table. The keiki had the roast butternut squash soup (which she wouldn't share a bite of so we know it was really good), and pasta from the keiki menu. The view and ambiance were gorgeous. The chef also has a small herb garden for fresh garnish etc, surrounding the lanai. Few tips for coming here: $25 - 3 course Sunset Dinners by reservation between 430-630 BYOB as most places are You can't go wrong with anything short ribs here. pot pie or entree. Call ahead for a reservation! Build your own Blood Mary Bar!!! You provide the alcohol of course.

  • Jane A.

    It was pricey and the food was only ok. for what we ordered, i could have been cheaper. my penne fettuccine alfredo was $15 to begin with, additional $5 for chicken, $8 for shrimp and $4 for veggies??? yes, you can see a bit of the sunset if that's what you're looking for. but the view from the restaurant really didn't blow my skirt up.

  • Dayle T.

    Had a nice dinner here with my wife. I had the short ribs, which was part of the 5-6pm earlybird special ($25) which included mashed potatoes and sauted veggies (but I opted for all vegies). For my wife, she had mahi smothered in garlic (special order which the chef gladly fulfilled), jasmine rice, and sauted veggies. For a starter, we had the crab dip with pieces of fancy toast. For dessert, we opted for rasberry sorbet. A filling, wonderful meal with friendly service in a quaint, rustic setting. 808 Bistro takes a bit of perseverance to find, for its roadfront sign is overshadowed a bit by Fred's Mexican Cafe sign but you can find it by turning into the parking lot, and heading mauka (inland) until the lot curves to the right. At that point, look for a sign pointing to 808 Bistro, take the stairs down, turn left at the bottom, and you're there.

  • Sara M.

    Food was awesome. I had basic breakfast (eggs, hash browns, etc), but it was still great. Get the banana bread french toast if you go - one piece will do just fine. Four stars would've been five, but the service was a bit slow.'

    (4)

  • Caroline L.

    Great service- waitress very attentive and accommodating. I found the food mediocre. My short rib pot pie was very salty though my dining partner enjoyed the fish entree. So salty that I was not able to finish my entree. I told the waitress and it was taken off the bill and we were also offered free dessert. No real view here either since the beach is past the grass patch and across the street.

  • Olivia D.

    We wanted to try someplace different for breakfast on our last day on Maui, so we searched Yelp and came up with 808 Bistro. Nowhere on Yelp did I read about the great atmosphere. From the outside, it just looks like another building in a strip mall, but we were seated on a lanai overlooking a garden with birds chirping and the works. It was great. My sweetie and I shared the banana bread French toast and the curry omelette. We both have to have something savory to offset sweet items at breakfast. The curry omelette did the trick. The omelette, filled with Portuguese sausage, onions and peppers, was very tasty, but excessively oily. As soon as I cut into it with my fork, yellow, curry-scented oil started oozing out. I was glad we were sharing it and therefore ruining our cholesterol levels together. The banana bread French toast was decadent and tasty, but not very French-toasty. I didn't eat much of it (on purpose, since he seemed to really be enjoying it and I felt like he should bear the brunt of the caloric burden ;-P) but it was more like a slice of banana bread that was pan fried in butter and lightly glazed. It was good because it wasn't too sweet. My honey loved how the middle of the bread was so moist and soft. The breakfast menu here is small, but it has the basics and does the trick. We thought it was a hidden gem for the relaxing outdoorsy atmosphere and good food.

    I never would have known this place existed! We were planning on going to Fred's for tacos with my family (2 adults/3 keikis) and my brother and his wife. Hour and a half wait at Freds for Tacos so we walked down the hall to this little gem. It was totally empty (it was 5pm after all). We were seated and ordered crab dip (so ono!) and hubby got the flat iron steak, I got the short ribs, and kids got something off the kids menu. They got it right by sending the kids food out first (bonus points!) - I am always thrilled when restaurants do that. Everything was REALLY GOOD. My short ribs were totally amazing. Hubby said his steak was really good too. Service was good, food was great - glad we ran into this spot!

    I'm glad I found this place. We had the banana bread french toast and whale pie. The french toast was great. I hate bananas and I loved the banana bread. The whale pie was excellent also. The hash browns were nice and crispy. Our server was also friendly and attentive. When I am back in Maui, I'm going to 808 again.

    Delicious breakfast spot. The banana bread French toast was to die for. Had the focaccia sandwich which was unique and great...tho i'd request an extra egg. Put the hash browns ON the sandwich for good measure! My husband had the short rib omelet. A strange combination but it works. Was generous on the short rib!

    WAITRESS: "Here's some water...did you have any questions about the menu?" CHUN P: "Yes, I'm starving! Which is heartier and bigger...the $18 Short Ribs or the $16 Short Rib Pot Pie?" WAITRESS: "Definitely the Pot Pie...NO ONE ever finishes it! CHUN P: "Well, then I'll have the Pot Pie and tip you the extra $2 for being honest." About 20 minutes, several pieces of foccacia, and a delicious cup of Cream of Califlower Soup later... OWNER: "Here is your Pot Pie...good luck with that!" CHUN P: "I'm up for a challenge!" 20 more minutes and many NOM! NOM! NOM!s later... OWNER, staring at the empty bowl: "Sweet Jesus! We've never seen anyone do that before..." CHUN P: "Do I get a prize? Also I'd like to see any dessert menu please." Warning kids, don't try this at home. Your Uncle CHUN P is gifted with a magical high speed metabolism...95% of you will probably be constipated for the rest of your Maui vacation. **************************************************­**************************************************­******************* Due to an unforseen $1457 vet bill a month before our vacation, the wife and I had to be conservative with our spending in Maui, so this is the only fancy schmancy dinner we did, and we were both glad it was here! Several restaurants in Kihei, Maui are BOYB with NO CORKERAGE FEE! Yeah, its pretty fucking awesome. Well, we didn't know what we were ordering tonight, so I brought two $6 wine bottles with us, a red and a white, from the nearby ABC Store. The staff was so friendly about it and even brought out a free standing ice bucket for the white. Great service, lovely ambiance, and delicious food without emptying your wallet. If you can do only one nice dinner in Maui...try 808 Bistro :)

    The restaurant is located behind the 808 bistro sandwich shop out front. Make sure you walk around to the back, because they have outside seating where you can watch people wake board and water ski. This was close to our condo, so it was a great brunch stop before we went on our journey for the day. Had the Whale Pie, short rib omelet and banana bread french toast. The whale pie was a bit over hyped, it was just a large bed of hash brown with a piece of ham on top. The omelet was just a regular egg omelet that I can get back in Cali, so this was my least favorite. Best part , was the banana bread french toast. 808 Bistro actually served the best toast I've had on the island. Def recommend coming for that.

  • Patricia K.

    Not sure what all the hype is about this place. The breakfast menu was ok - very limited selection (don't come here expecting pancakes and waffles - there aren't any), and food wasn't 4 star blow me away as the reviews would suggest. It's better than a $30 hotel breakfast buffet, but nothing to write home about. Meh.

    What a great place. We came to this place because one of my friends recommended. The entrance is kind of hidden and limited parking. There is not much ambience. The food was fantastic...just like homemade and fresh. The Orange juice was fresh and delightful. We loved Portugese Suasage and their Egg sandwich was tasty. Banana bread french tast was decent. All this good food for a very reasonable price which is like an icing on the cake. Will highly recommend this place.

    After snorkeling Palauea Beach (White Point), checking out the Baldwin Home, the Wotting Museum, shopping and sightseeing in Lahaina, and an impromptu Power 1 Vinyasa on the beach, Chun P. and I were starving! We cleaned up into our island chic clothes and headed out to 808 Bistro (like the other reviews note, not to be mixed up with 808 Deli). The service and quality of food were absolutely fantastic. Hubby loved the cream of cauliflower soup, I had the mixed greens to start. When Chun P. asked the waitress if the short rib pot pie was hearty, she said it was the heartiest item on the menu and very rarely did people ever even finish it. So of course he ordered it. At this point I was pretty weighed down from meaty lunches at Da Kitchen so I opted for the vegetarian polenta lasagna, ordered light on the cheese. Both entrees were scrumptious! Chun P. ate every last delicious morsel of the short rib pot pie, and the owner and waiters all had to come over to check out the empty serving bowl. All were impressed when he asked, "can I see a dessert menu?" and promptly ordered a homemade brownie with vanilla gelato. Another big plus of this restaurant is that it features BYOB with no corkage charge. Wait staff were more than happy to grab a champagne bucket topped off with ice for a nice bottle of chilled white and Chun P. also brought a red for a tasting pairing to complement the short rib pot pie. All around a delightful experience. Excellent fine dining with a cool breeze and gorgeous ocean view!

    Staff and ambiance was nice. Chris was our waiter, very personable and likable. Had their breakfast, curry omelette and banana bread french toast. Both were OK. Good portions. Nothing spectacular, but tasty. Didn't realize that it was a bring your own alcohol. Kinda bummed when I couldn't get a mimosa, but I now realize that it says BYOB on the signage.

    Now that I've gotten the bad food out of the way, I can start reminisce the good food that made my vacation pleasurable. 808 was one of such restaurant. I only wish I had come here more often instead of the other bad ones! We came here for breakfast on our second day. Our sever was very friendly. I don't think I met anyone on the island that wasn't. Everyone greeted us with 'Aloha' everywhere; strangers on the street, in the store, etc! The menu wasn't very big. My son ordered the usual 2 Eggs with Ham and Hash Brown. My fiance and I ordered the Curry Omelet. OMG, I never even thought to use curry in omelet! It was sooooo good! (I will try this when I make my own omelet next time). yelp.com/biz_photos/xBij… . The curry wasn't over powering, but gave it so much flavor! You must try this if you visit here! We also ordered 2 pieces of Banana Bread French Toast. Who would have thought to make french toast with banana bread? Once again, it was delicious! yelp.com/biz_photos/xBij… I highly recommend this place if you're visiting Kihei and Wailea area of Maui. Excellent food at very reasonable price. They also offer early sunset dinner special if you can make it. If I ever return to Maui, I will definitely dine here again!

    I love going t 808 Bistro for both Breakfast and Dinner. There is a small view of the ocean, and it is cute inside, with terrace seating. However it is all about the food. The Pot Pies are really good. Their reputation is good food at great prices!

    2.5 stars. Banana Bread French Toast was good and the outdoor seating was pretty like most reviews have said. But the bf and I just weren't that impressed. We also ordered the Short Rib Omelet, which was really not as great as everyone raves. As the review by Betty N. says, it tasted exactly like taco seasoning. Not a good thing in this case. It was also topped with herb sour cream which was really watery. I tried scraping it off but I wasn't very successful since it had already seeped into the creases of my omelet, so I ended up not finishing my dish. Nothing was very memorable in my opinion. I could see why this place might be nice for dinner, given the nice view and BYOB option. However, we don't plan on coming back based on our first experience.

    After all the wonderful reviews on Yelp, I was a little disappointed with my dinner experience at 808 Bistro. It wasn't bad, it just doesn't deserve 4.5 stars. I had the 808 pork chops; they were tasty, but not spectacular. For a better dinner in the Kihei/Wailea area, try MonkeyPod. Pricier, but well worth it.

    Omg, Ahi trio = amazing! Hard to find the first time and don't be fooled by the 808 deli, the short walk down the corridor is quite rewarding ( a la no Kihei Rd traffic noise and some decent views of Kamale Beach II). Great place for people with whole food / non-process dietary considerations. Yummy veggie sides + great fish / protein entrees. Hot Tip: Restaurant is BYOB and ABC Store (2 blocks away) carries phenomenal 90+ point wine spectator wines (i.e. Silver Oak, Molly Dooker, Ed Wright, etc). Superb for date night!

    Came here on our first trip to Maui for some breakfast. The atmosphere and ambience are great--we were seated at a table with an awesome view of Kamaole beach. It's behind Fred's Mexican Cafe and Moose McGillycuddy's so there isn't a lot of noise from the foot and vehicular traffic which is great when you're just waking up :). Service was also great--the waiters were really friendly. The biggest downside was the food, actually. While it was good--the portions were so small for the prize. My hubby got the mango chutney pork chops and his chop could be consumed in three bites. For those that don't like a heavy breakfast that works but I think even in that situation $15 for something so small is just ridiculous. It was the same situation for our friend's Mahi Mahi--the fish looked more like a sardine filet! Plus, their drink options are pretty limited and it's BYOB--while it's nice that you can do that, it would be great to have alcoholic beverage options (i.e.: mimosas) for those who are going there for the first time and don't necessarily know. That said, the banana bread French toast was heavenly. I liked the food well enough but I'd definitely think twice about visiting again. Perhaps just to get the French toast--to go!

    Their breakfast egg sandwiches really hit the spot. Good portion size and piping hot. Would've liked coffee drinks on the menu, though. Don't be confused by the conflicting signs: one says 808 Bistro, the other says 808 Deli.

  • Nancy Y.

    808 Bistro may be hard to find since it's kind of tucked away behind the sandwich shop, but once you see 808 Deli you know you're close! Parking: Free in the parking lot!! Food: You MUST and I mean MUST!!!!!!!!!!! get the Banana Bread French Toast. Seriously, one of the best french toasts I've had on the planet. I am a hard core french toast fan. Breakfast is my favorite meal of all time and every time I go out, I ALWAYS order the french toast, so I've eaten alot of french toast in my 27 years of existence and I can pretty much claim I am an expert. 808's french toast is extremely soft, moist and perfectly sweetened. You can literally taste the aroma of the banana's lifting itself up from the actual bread and onto the taste buds. It doesn't even need syrup to be honest. It was fresh and just insanely good. MUST TRY!!! $$: Easy on the wallet

    This was really, really good - probably deserving of 4.5 stars Best part, they have no liquor licence (yet), so as of now, its not just an option to BYOB - its the ONLY way to get a beer, or wine! We brought two bottles each of the three times we went there - obviously this saves you a LOT of money right off the bat! A $20 bottle of wine would be $40-$50 at any restaurant. You feel like a bit of a nut carrying your own wine to the check in stand, but EVERYBODY is doing it! Secondly, the food. We ate there three times in 2 weeks - Nuff Said? LOL Have the soup - whatever it is - it was AWESOME - best I've ever had. Mushroom, and Clam Chowder - waitress was over the moon about curried carrot and ginger - but its different every day. I'm a big fish fan - loved the Mahi Mahi - had the spicy one, another diner had the orange one - we both loved it. Next time had the Pork Chops - twice - not the pork and beans thing or the pork pot pie - just the pork chops, with stuffing, great sauce - REALLY good maybe 4.75 stars? Lastly, the sunset - if you're there early - they open around 5:30 and get busy about 7ish - and you get a table near the railing, or facing the ocean edge of the restaurant - I'll have to dig up the pics we took - absolutely gorgeous! Service, mangement, everyone was great. Did I mention that the prices for main courses were in the $17-$20 range? If you're in Kihei, pop in NOW, before they jack up the prices and make you pay for the wine and drinks!

    Good spot for breakfast. We really like their banana bread French toast, as many have noted. Other food is pretty good too and their service is friendly and pretty quick. They are pretty laid back there but come off as slow to me. We have been in Maui for a week now and we have been here two times for breakfast. It will be a regular stop for us any time we return to Maui.

  • Yeelin T.

    We stopped by on our first evening in Maui based on a friend's recommendation and Yelp's reviews. We got the short ribs and the trio of fish sampler. The short ribs were tender, falling apart (exactly how we liked it), and it had a great sauce drizzled on top. The sauce was sometimes a bit overpowering, so you have to be careful how much you had with the short ribs. The trio of fish was good. We enjoyed the Caribbean-spiced one the best. It had an excellent salsa to go with it. On our last day, we decided to check out the breakfast menu here. We ordered two slices of the banana bread french toast and the curry omelet. The french toast was definitely unusual. The banana bread was very heavy and it didn't soak up the egg very well, so it wasn't very frenchtoast-like in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, it was good banana bread, just not very good french toast. The curry omelet consisted primarily of Portugese sausage and onions. The onions were excellent. There's just something really good about Maui onions. They are very sweet and aromatic. The omelet as a whole though was just OK. Nothing to write home about. Dinner: 4 stars Breakfast: 3 stars

    This place is a hidden gem. 5 stars for food, service, atmosphere, and if I could add an additional star for the BYOB, I would! Me and the wife grabbed a bottle of champagne and headed over for breakfast. A super-friendly southern gentleman greeted and seated us on the lovely shaded patio, which was adorned with plentiful tropical plants and trees. Through the foliage was a good view of the water. It's a wonderful, quiet casual setting, but with a smidge of elegance. He promptly scored a nice ice-bucket for the champagne, and mixed our first round of mimosas. He spoiled us by mixing our refills several times. I had the short-rib omelette, which was fresh and delicious. The rib meat was super-tender. My wife had the eggs and bacon-she said they were mucho tasty. The plate sizes are substantial. The manager and the waiter provided excellent, friendly service. So, two full-size plates of fresh-made breakfast, $2.75 for the o.j. to make our endless mimosas, ZERO corking fee, equals a breakfast bill of.........$25.50! We've payed substantially more than that for a substantially less pleasing experience at several places in Kihei. This place is a GEM!

    This place is a totally tucked away with awesome awesome service and the food just rocks. I had ribs and it was so soft it melted in my mouth...My salad and the dressing was sooo good I practically licked my plate. It was a casual setting and you can bring your own bottles of wine/ champagne, etc., etc. Just great food, and just around the corner located in Kihei.

    Right after stepping off the plane and getting lei'd at the airport, we began our honeymoon here at 808 Bistro with whale pie. Whale pie is hash browns, ham, egg, and cheese smothered in brown gravy. This is where I discovered that (A) Hawaii puts gravy on lots of stuff and (B) gravy makes everything automatically delicious. The restaurant is, unfortunately, not on the beach, but we got to eat outside. The menu was kind of limiting, but my *new word alert* husband had the short rib omelette and it was tasty. It was a nice time, but wasn't exciting enough for me to want to come back on my vacation.

  • Scott R.

    I recently visited 808 Bistro as part of a group of 11 for dinner. We were seated right away (had reservation) and servers/staff were extremely nice and accommodating. We brought our own wine as recommended by other reviews, but am not sure if corkage fee was applied or not. I had a Ceasar salad start, and spareribs/mashed potatoes entré which was excellent. Others in our group enjoyed their food as well, though one or two dishes were perhaps a small bit lacking in flavor -- nothing major that I heard. The only reason for 1 star less than 5 is one diner had to return a shrimp salad as the shrimp was undercooked, but the staff was happy to accommodate. If I could apply an extra 3/4 star to 808, it would be because of the following. Our large party had come on a Sunday night, near closing, so it might be expected that our group would be rushed to finish. Not only did we receive no pressure to leave, but the proprietor came to our table when we were deciding whether or not to order dessert, and generously offered some plates on the house. We were happily shocked when the staff came out with MULTIPLE SERVINGS of their most popular treats! There was enough that everyone in our group received a generous sampling of their dessert dishes, which were fantastic. Big kudos to the staff and owner for giving us such an enjoyable experience. When we find ourselves back in our Maui, we will DEFINITELY visit 808 again.

  • Ping P.

    Why anyone would not give this place five stars is beyond me. We stumbled upon this place on yelp and after reading the reviews I called Spago and cancelled our reservations and we came here instead. We were so happy we made that decision! One of the main reasons is the menu sounded great AND BYOB! We travel with our wines and having never been to Maui didn't realize that places here cannot charge corkage - so guess what? They won't let you bring in your own wine! What a disappointment for us. Enter Bistro 808 - as others have noted - BYOB...or not and get sodas there. The folks here are super friendly and helpful. The food is outstanding: DO NOT MISS THE LAMB WELLINGTON...OMG. good. no... Great... yes... great. We got to meet the owner, Mitch, a really nice guy! He really cares about his patrons and makes sure to ask if everything is good etc. So great to know we are supporting local folks who care. We will be back when in Maui! We love this place. Note: they just started serving breakfast and they have a "make your own bloody mary bar" BYOB of course! :)

    Charming bistro on the main strip in Kihei. Known for breakfast but we went for dinner. One of the best things about this place: BYOB and no corkage fee. Fantastic. Second: service is very good. We had a couple of friends in the dinner party who had to leave early to catch an evening flight and the staff seamlessly worked to get those orders out first. Third: the food is really good! The cordon bleu was tasty but the short ribs and steak were even better. Wish I could have checked this place out for its famous banana french toast but I'm sure this will be at the top of my list if I ever return to Maui.

  • Michael D.

    The banana bread french toast was fun and tasty. Wife got the fruit which looked like all rind - not sure if this was intentional, but wasn't well received. Very fun menu, there are several other things that I wish I could have ordered. Remember to BYOB, that definitely makes the experience!

    We took some friends with us to your establishment tonight and it was great! The Staff were friendly and attentive, we didn't have to wait for anything. The food was fantastic the Ahi melted in my mouth. The only thing for myself was the duck entre was a bit over cooked...other than that... what a lovely evening...thank you I will come again with my family next time!

  • Michelle S.

    What an absolute find! Hidden away in a little corner of a building, this open and tropical beauty unveils herself. We were greeted with a beautifully smiling hostess and seated at a table that had an enchanting view of the sunset. The menu offered an array of descriptive foods....I chose the penne with gorgonzola cream sauce topped with a broiled mahi mahi filet. It was sinfully delicious. This meal is certainly one of those dishes where ignorance is bliss~ I'm sure I covered my calorie count for the week with that one but the flavors were amazing. They do not serve alcohol but you are welcome to BYOB, which, IMO, is just perfect. You drink exactly what you like. I can't wait to go back and try another dish!

    We found the 808 Bistro on our last trip and decided we'd come back on out next trip. Since it is walking distance for where we were staying it made for a very easy final dinner in Maui. Nice local place, decent food and we all had a good time. Great to find a place that isn't a sports bar! Portions were certainly big enough for us. Brought our own wine as recommended when we called. I had the ahi tuna which was great although I could have stood a little more wasabi on it. Nothing fancy here. Just one vegetable with the meal but all was prepared well. We came back on our final morning to try the banana bread French toast and it was great! We'll be back.

  • Sara B.

    I would give a 4.5 Breakfast was excellent! We split the flat iron steak and eggs and banana bread French toast. French toast was awesome! Steak was cooked exactly as ordered and so were the eggs. Really great flavor. Waitstaff were attentive. Pleasant atmosphere. Things that could be better: sweet bread was ok not good. They provide a little packet of strawberry or grape jam. Since everything else was so good they could have stepped up on the jam. How about a fresh lilikoi or other Hawaiian spread?

    We have been to Maui a couple times since it opened and we always end up coming here multiple nights. Everything on the menu is wonderful and we love the BYOB with no corkage fee. We've been for breakfast as well but dinner is the most memorable for us. Our biggest challenge is deciding what to have. The short ribs, pot pie, cordon bleu and pork chops are all favourites, though we loved the gorgonzola alfredo and flat iron steak too. Seriously, just go.

    I had a chance to check out this place for breakfast on my last day in Maui. Found this on yelp and decided to check it out due to the good reviews. We ordered one slice of the banana bread French Toast which I really liked along with the curry omelette. Both entrees were very tasty. I love yellow curry which was the type of curry found inside the omelette. We went early because we were on a time crunch but it worked out well because we were the first ones there and had a magnificent view of the ocean. I will definitely make this a pit stop on my next trip back.

    Had a great dinner here. Beat the pants off of sarentos on the beach for much less money! My fish was perfect with tropical salsa and ginger glaze. Hubby's chic cordon bleu was great too. Location is quaint. Reminded me off a bistro in Italy. Garden setting. Nice wait staff. Wish we had time to go back. Highly recommend.

  • Suzanne B.

    We went here for breakfast. I ordered the bagel with lox, 1 slice of banana bread pudding french toast, and my husband had the curry omelet. I was kind of bummed that I had to assemble my lox bagel myself. All the ingredients were laid out on the plate, and I had to do all the work. I was kinda disappointed by the french toast because I love banana bread pudding. It was just banana bread used to make french toast. The word "pudding" put a different expectation in my head. My husband did really enjoy the curry omelet. We like different to try different foods, and this was just that. Unfortunately, I didn't try it, so I can't really tell you what I think. The waitress was a little out of it, I think. I asked for a side of hashbrowns, and she came back a couple minutes later asking if we needed anything else. I thought she meant anything in addition to the hashbrowns, but the hashbrowns never came, so I think she forgot what I asked for. Anyway, it was fine. Nothing spectacular, but I would be willing to come back and try other things on the menu.

    Had dinner here with my family, the view was great, the ambience was great, even the bread was great, my fish was great but the general consensus from the rest of the group was that their food was just okay....The location would have been great except I had stepped on a bee that morning, my foot swelled up like a balloon and I could not walk. I had crutches...We had to park across the street, (this was a very busy area). The cars whizzed by as my family kept saying, "OOOK GO!" I Hobbled and tripped over myself and my crutches to the other side of the street, and finally made it.....to a set of stairs...-___- of course. I'm sure they had an elevator somewhere for wheelchair and disabled accessibility, but I didn't feel like looking for it and was determined to take the stairs...I made it to the top, to the hostess, thankfully we had a reservation...and crutched over to our table, where at least I had a great view of the setting sun....SOOO! I had the Mahi Mahi with the Orange Vermouth Sauce, Jasmine rice, and broccoli. I really liked my fish, it was cooked well and had great flavor. The rice was a bit bland, and the broccoli was nice and crisp. The rest of the family however thought their food was just average. I really liked the fact that it was BYOW (WINE). That was pretty cool. I wished we'd had saved this place for breakfast, as I can see now, that breakfast is what this place is known for...maybe next time. I recommend. Very romantic ambience, and I Loved my fish :)

    808 Bistro was a short walk from our condo in Kihei, so we walked here for lunch. The place was pretty quiet, which we thought was unusual because of the number of condos in the area. We were the only table there when the only other people left after their meal. The food was acceptable and the price was in line with other restaurants in Kihei. The service was also good since we were the only ones there. The only big complaint was that they were fixing the roof on the building and it was loud... not acceptable during lunch time IMO.

  • Keith P.

    This little hidden gem is way cool! First, you can bring your own wine for dinner. For a small 5 dollar cork charge they will chill it for you, provide you glasses and pour for you. It is a quaint little open air restaurant. The food was delivered on time with wonderful plate presentation, and very delicious! The pricing is also quite reasonable, especially for the south Maui area, which is quite expensive. If you are on a budget while vacationing in Maui and want a nice dinner; I highly suggest this place!

    I had to give it a 2 star rating due to the service and the atmosphere. While eating we got to hear all about how the locals hated tourists. Then a few days later we were verbally berated by our waitress and she let us know exactly how she felt about tourists and gay tourists at that. She accused us of stiffing her on the bill for $0 .75 when we left her a $12 tip. I would not recommend this establishment unless you are a local or you may just get this same treatment. The food however was amazing and a good view of the ocean. It's too bad that the service was poor or we would go back.

  • Sara N.

    This review is for the breakfast. The place was a little hard to find at first. I saw their deli, I guess you can order sandwiches there. We parked way in the back and it was to the far left as we started to walk towards the plaza. My group ordered the whale pie which was ham, egg, and cheese over hash browns and drowned in gravy. Our server suggested the gravy on the side so you can add as much as you want. We also had the curry omelet which was unique but yet good, and the banana bread bread french toast was my favorite and a nice twist to french toast. They don't serve alcohol but you can BYOB. We sat outdoors under a canopy area and had a nice view of the ocean across the street. Most breakfast items were under $10, a few were a little more. They do offer a kids menu.

    This little hole in the wall bistro was on my list to try during our visit. It is low key and laid back but an obvious local and tourist favorite. I had the turkey sandwich with cranberry aioli. It was simple, delicious and very flavorful. I hope to enjoy another before we leave. Yum!

  • Andrew S.

    Came here the first night in Maui bc of yelp reviews. Not disappointed. Great outdoor space, great appetizer (buffalo shrimp), and mouth watering entree in the Pork and Beans. The pork was so succulent and tasty. And the white beans? Oh. My. God. Perhaps the BEST supplemental side dish to a main course I've ever had. Eaten alone or eaten with the pork, the taste was amazing. This food is what food is all about. Tasty and reasonably healthy (no overuse of creams or sauces, cooked well) and everything just comes together perfectly. Note it's bring your own beverage, which is kind of a deterrent or a bonus depending on how you look at it. I think it's a bonus just as long as you plan ahead of time. With good food, you want to keep eating until it's all gone. With fantastic food, you pause and eat things slowly bc you want to savor every bit of it. 808 Bistro has fantastic food.

    Hidden behind the deli this little place had an awesome breakfast. I took the recommendation and tried both the banana bread french toast and the curry omelette. They were outstanding and went nicely with the kona coffee. They have outside seating with ocean view though you wouldn't know it from the main road.

    Came here twice for breakfast, limited menu but all so great selections! We tried the banana bread French toast, and that was like Heaven! Whale pie awesome! The fruit plate is good but please don't serve the slices of banana bread cold from the refrigerator, I know the fruit is cold but cold bread to me is offsetting since it's supposed to be fresh right? Will come back next time we come to Maui if we are in the area.

    Yup, as good as it gets. We've been in Maui for a week and this place is our top pick. We all loved it and we've been to the swanky restaurants in the Fairmont hotel and Cafe O'lei as well. This place beat them both easily. We loved the BYO and went to Safeway and got surprisingly very very good prices on higher end wine, paid only $25/bottle for Kenwood 2007 Jack London (wolf label) Cab Sauv Sonoma CA. I had a large salad with walnuts, apples, goat cheese and some greens. The salad dressing was the perfect amount and it was not drenched as most places do it. I split it w/ my wife and she loved it too. The salad is called an "Uncle Chad". My entree was pasta alfredo with shrimp and had the two other adults try it and they loved it. There was plenty of shrimp that were large and fresh. The sauce on the pasta was awesome and it was not too heavy, it was rich though. My wife had a Skirt Steak medium rare which was scrumptious, we added some of it to my daughter's pasta dish. The steak tasted like a filet mignon. My brother had mahi mahi and he liked it. Now what is we keep talking about, this dinner for 3 adults w/ 1 large salad appetizer, 2 kids meals, and one cup of coffee was $107. Atmosphere is casual, we did not try the pork though and this is one of their best sellers they say. We're going back tomorrow for dinner. We were recommended to this place by a guy named Avocado who was our zip line instructor. He recommended it for breakfast but since breakfast was included in our hotel we opted to try it for dinner. Plus Avocado's other pick Paia Seafood Market was good hit as well. Update ... Sept 4, 2011 We went back for dinner the next night and still give this place 5 stars. I had the highly recommend pork chops. I ordered them medium rare and they came out just right. They were very lean, good portion, and came w/ plenty of very tasty sides. The pork chops were topped with some sort of tasty topping that we loved. The wife had the short ribs which were great but we felt the the pork chops had a slight edge over them. We also re-ordered the large salad (The Uncle Chad) I had the night before and split it as we both really loved it. Menu you can check out for yourselves here 808bistro.com/menu.html

    My husband and I were excited to come here because of the positive yelp reviews, however, we left dissapointed. The steak I ordered medium came out bloody, so I switched dinners with my husband. The pork chops tasted ok ..but were dry and the what tasted like instant mashed potatoes were luke warm. The vegetable and stuffing sides did not taste good at all. Also, the bathroom is pretty disgusting. =(

    My husband and I love this place. I take everyone I know when we are in Kihei. I love the 808 salad and they have some really good other dishes as well. It is also great to bring your own bottle of wine without any corkage fee (so you and your date can bring a good $8 bottle of wine rather than paying $8 for one glass of the same wine). The atmosphere is really mellow and there is a side view of the ocean from behind Moose's/Fred's. Really romantic yet casual setting.

    This is my go-to place for dates, taking visitors for a night on the town, and generally having a wonderful evening. It's classy without the uptight vibe, and a great place to go on a date, or celebrate a birthday in style without breaking the bank. I LOVE 808 Bistro! We went there for the first time about a year ago based on good Yelp reviews and I'm SO glad we did- the wait staff and management are laid back, pleasant, attentive and awesome and the view is SO killer during sunset (try their sunset menu!) The best part though is the food. OMG!!!!! It's SO thoughtfully prepared, kudos to the chef! My boyfriend craves their bleu cheese apple gratin and I will never forget how delicious the pork and beans were. Everything we've tried here has been a wake-up call to my taste buds and its really set the standard for dining out in my book. 808 is BYOB, which really saves money on the check and the wait staff is happy to open your wine bottle and pour it, or bring you a chilled bucket and glasses for your beers. I'm pretty sure this is my favorite restaurant on the island. Thanks, 808 Bistro!

    Wow, once again we followed the advice of others on Yelp and we are sure glad we did. Our meal was fabulous and so was the service. My husband had the short rib omelette and was delighted. I had the mango chutney pork chops, which were perfect. We did have one piece of banana bread french toast which was also heaven. Do your self a favor and go. Really!

    My boyfriend and I decided to try this place for brunch and it was great. He got the short rub omelette and I got the banana bread French toast, which admittedly are the signature items. Between the very tasty dishes and the great surroundings of palm trees and the beach, it was quite the pleasant meal! It did take a little while to get our food, but the staff warned us of that from the beginning because they had just sat a group of 20.

    Loved. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. Perfect mix and a lighter meal , especially if you're going on a boat/airplane beforehand.

    Still sitting in the Bistro after finishing breakfast for the second time. Food and service were excellent. The banana bread French toast is outstanding. My wife, who is not a breakfast person, thoroughly enjoyed the veggie browns. My son snarfed the whale pie. If you like the banana bread, and I am sure you will, they will actually sell it by the loaf. It is spendy but so well worth it. I agree, this place is a gem tucked away from the main Kihei strip.

    Our favorite breakfast spot in Kihei. The Banana Freshtoast is astounding and made from some great, unique local ingredients. Good: - Delicious dishes. - Friendly front of house. - Meals hit the table quickly. - Kitchen staff commited to only serving high quality ingredients. - Cute, comfortable dining environment.

    Wow, what a great place. Again, a bit hard to find since it is behind a restautrant right on the road, but keep walking. We went back during our stay and since it is BYOB, we did. The short rib prix fixe is amazing!

    Definintely hidden from direct view. Kinda have to snake your way thru alleyways to find it tucked behind the mexican place. We started with the crab dip which was good but could have used a few more pieces of toast (too much dip for that many pieces of toast). My wife got the short rib pot pie and I got the braised short ribs. Both were quite good. The barbeque sauce on the short ribs was a little too sweet though. It seems like it needed something to cut the sweetness. Even with that, it was still quite good. Fairly small space, but we had not problem walking in. Towards the end of the meal a man (possibly the owner?) came to see how everything was. A nice touch. Ohh, and very reasonable prices for Maui!

    Was very excited to go here on our last day at the reviews were really good and we ran into a friend of the owner at one of the hotels who also had nothing but great things today. We came on our last morning and had about an hour to eat. The food took way too long as the new cooks didn't cook our food in the order the tickets came in. So so parties that were seated a 1/2 hour after we were, received their food prior to our food. The Banana Bread French toast was good, but needed to be soaked in the egg dip much longer as there was only a thin coat. We also tried the "Waffle of the day" that was a Cinnamon & Vanilla that came out smelling great. Unfortunatly it was heavy as a brick and if it fell on my foot would have injured me. A waffle should be light and fluffy, however this was dense and heavy (needed more oil and eggs, too much flour). I will say the manager took over $20 off since we had to wait so terribly long. The service was great so that was a nice thing... but the food was not so great. It sounded as though the cooks they had were new so maybe it was just an "off" morning... Hopefully they can get it right as it was cute little place and the service was good. Nice little view of the ocean from the tables. Oh and the bathrooms could have used a renovation/cleaning (I'm a guy saying this).

    Review for breakfast. Very charming little place tucked back in the corner. We enjoyed the variety of breakfast choices. I loved the whale pie. The short rib omelet was also tasty although the carrots seems an odd addition to breakfast. The french toast was excellent as well.

  • Laura C.

    5 star review for the following: 1. Banana bread french toast 2. Beautiful location - we were seated outside with a view of the beach. 3. BYOB! I didn't believe it at first, but saw it on their menu. Wow. I hope to stay in Kaanapali or Kahana when I visit Maui next, but will make a point to visit Kihei specifically to eat at 808 Bistro.

  • David H.

    We're from Jersey, so BYB is quite common. We went to the ABC store a bit north and got a bottle (but were told wine is closer in the shopping mall just north of the bistro). The Portuguese soup was excellent, and my wife was quite happy with the house salad. We had the catch of the day prepared three ways - it was excellent! The ambiance was nice (talked with some people next table), open, fresh air, view of beach. Prices were good, service was good, location was good - glad to have made this choice!

    We were lucky enough to find this restaurant on our first night in Maui. Well, for full disclosure, I should say we were Yelpy enough to find this spot. (Thanks guys!) It's a quiet patio tucked behind and to the side of Fred's Mexican restaurant (follow the signs), with a decent view of the sunset if your timing is right. Mellow, ambient music like Tracy Chapman and Jason Mraz (I think). Hostess, waitress and owner (?) are all pleasant, kind and adept. But the 5th star is in honor of the food. This is probably the most creative and clever food we've had in Hawaii. Not content to just hook tourists in with lame puns, silly-willy food names and serve them endless, tired versions of over-prepared mahi-mahi and ahi tuna, this chef appears to take real pleasure and pride in an exquisite use of Hawaiian ingredients, without beating you over the head with pineapples and coconuts! We had the Johnny Wellington appetizer (lamb in a puff pastry, with tzaziki sauce on the side), which was inventive and delicious. Husband had the trio of fish preparations and I had the chicken cordon bleu. Both of these dishes could have been served elsewhere in Hawaii, but the difference here is that, instead of drowning in sauces or being over-cooked/fried etc, they had drizzles of sauce, suggestions of flavors consciously applied to complement, rather than overshadow the fish and chicken. Overall, a mellow, well thought-out and friendly dining experience. We'll be back, along with lots of other Yelpers, as indicated by the overwhelmingly favorable reviews here so far. And there will be no knocking of noggins from coconuts!

    I had a great breakfast at 808 Bistro. I arrived just before 8am and had a little bit of trouble finding the restaurant. It is located behind the other two restaurants that are easily seen from the street. It was practically empty, whereas the other two restaurants were packed. I was pleasantly surprised that the food and service were great. I had coffee (always great in Maui), the curry omelet was absolutely awesome. It was filled with delicious veggies and and Portuguese sausage. I don't think of curry and an omelet, but it was something I could eat many more of. The Banana Bread French Toast is a MUST! Super moist and not too sweet. Was the highlight of the meal.

    (3.5 stars) I only have good things to say about 808 Bistro....the only thing is everything I have to say has a "but" at the end of it...see for yourself: It has an nice islandy open air environment BUT it doesn't have a view of anything except some trees It is actually NOT in a strip mall like everything else in Maui BUT it is in like a complex of restaurants and a deli so it still has a bit of a strip mall atmosphere They have some delicious looking fish of the day options cooked in all different and seemingly delicious ways BUT they were out of fish for the night so no chance to try any of these combinations They had delicious sounding buffalo shrimp BUT in reality it was not much more than shrimp dipped in spicy but uninspired buffalo sauce They had a great special prime rib roast that was delicious BUT they could only cook it at a medium rare/medium temperature or hotter. The manager/owner did come over to ask us about our meal and seemed to really put importance on both good and bad feedback. Overall an above average place in a below average Maui restaurant scene.

    Took the wife and kids (aged 4 and 1) to 808 along with my mother-in-law. We chose 808 Bistro based on the amazing Yelp reviews. Our experience was good, but not great. 1. The food was very good. My wife, however, did not care for her dish (The short ribs) as she found it too salty. Mom and I enjoyed our pork chops however, and our deserts were exceptional. :) 2. The service was "ok". Our server was friendly and attentive while present, but could have standed to come around a bit more often. At issue: The busboy kept lifting heavy plates and knives (steak knives!) directly over my 1 yr old's head, in a manner that I'd describe as... risky. He actually had some forks fall right next to her, and seemed oblivious to the fact that there was a little person under his blast radius. Sigh. 3. The ambiance of the place itself was "ok." Maui spoils you with over-the-top ocean views and sunsets every night. This place was in a strip mall with a "good not great" view of the sky and trees a few streets back from the oceanfront. 4. The men's bathroom was gross! My 4 yr old and I hit the head after dinner and I honestly had this thought when cleaning him up that "This place loses a star on bathroom cleanliness/lighting alone." In summary, I still cautiously recommend the place as they have very good food at very good prices for the area. I just can't get behind the 4 and 5 star ratings on account of the quality of the service and the facilities.

    We were searching for a place to go to celebrate our nuptials where we wouldn't completely break the bank and we settled on 808 Bistro. We both enjoyed the food and the ocean view was great! This is a BYOB place so be sure to bring your drink of choice if you want anything alcoholic. I had a ginger glazed mahi mahi which was cooked to perfection. My only semi complaint is that it was served plain rice. A little seasoning or sauce for the rice would have been nice. My wife had the short rib with great garlic mashed potatoes. We would go back if we ever come to Maui again.

  • Kenneth S.

    I tried their curry omelet, and it was different, in a good way. The portions, i think, were the right amount to the price they charge. I think what made me enjoy my breakfast was their Banana Bread French Toast. Very classy. The waiter was very nice and social with the people, and the location is surrounded with trees and a peekaboo view of the ocean, depending on where you sit.

    We liked this place so much we came twice during our vacation. It's down the street from our condo, so really convenient. Both times I called ahead earlier in the day for a reservation, and I recommend that since the only tables they have for diners who don't call ahead are on the patio, and if it's raining you'll be out of luck. There's a convenience store in the strip mall just next door to pick up a bottle of wine or a 6 pack with dinner. The food is just terrific. The menu is small, but there are a lot of different choices (pork, beef, chicken, fish, vegetarian, pasta). Between us we had 3 salads and 3 entrees, and they were all very good. I'd say the short rib was best, then the chicken cordon bleu, then the pork and beans, but you can't really go wrong. I overheard a lady sitting near us as for something that doesn't contain onions, and the chef offered to make a lemon butter sauce for the fish just for her, so service is good too. Desserts are also good - try the lava bar!

  • D C.

    If you are from SEATTLE and enjoy the foodie scene there, DO NOT EAT HERE. Dont just read any reviews and judge by the star rating. Follow a few people who have similar tastes as you. Dinner was mediocre; Chicken Cordon Bleu (had to order chicken for toddler to eat) was bland. The pineapple sauce was unseasoned and not sweet. Pork Tenderloin was nothing special. More like a local Applebees. I really expect more for a $20+ entree. This was supposed to be a birthday dinner, so we went to Spago and ordered appetizer and dessert at the bar which were delicious, filling. Also, when I called to RSVP same day at 2pm, the lady sighed and mentioned she could fit us in at the last table corner courtyard. I'm thinking, oooh this place must be good! We got there right at 5pm, first ones. When we left at 6pm, only four tables were occupied. Really. - Kimo's has similar quality food, but cheaper.

  • Ernesta K.

    This place has an outside seating and is byob. We ordered short rib omelette and curry omelette and it was just as good as the comments described it. The waited said these two omelets are their best seller. We also tried banana bread french toast and it was really delicious. The prices are not expensive and the service was really great. However it was interesting that every single coffee cup is different. Definitely a must go for breakfast!

  • Mike S.

    One of the best places to eat in Kihei Maui for breakfast. 808 Bistro is tucked away behind Fred's Mexican restaurant just follow the signs (don't get confused with the 808 Deli). For breakfast the focaccia breakfast sandwich is excellent. The bread is soft and tastes like a homemade biscuit . Order it with the Portuguese sausage and you'll be in heaven. The banana bread french toast is also a great choice. Service was quick and friendly. They also offer a Bloody Mary self serve bar - but if you want alcohol - bring your own. As of September 2010 they did not have their liquor license.

  • Karen S.

    I am not a 5 star giver. It takes a lot for me to give 5 stars so here is what is great about this place - Good high quality food that is prepared in a tasty yet eclectic way (what you would expect from a restaurant that cost a lot more) - Beautiful view, especially at sunset - BYOB though I am sure this will change when they get their license - Maui Cordon Blue was amazing - Lamb Wellington is a must try (though not a fan of the mint jelly it is on the side so dont worry) - Bananas Foster ... amazing and since you are not paying for alcohol might as well get dessert - Our waitress Kristen was awesome, so attentive, all star service Go Here, you wont regret it, aim for sunset and even better

  • Gary H.

    On Maui with grandkids and ready for an adult night out. Read the reviews and had to give this restaurant a try. It was everything the other reviewers said it was. The atmosphere is pleasant with a view of the water. The waitstaff is friendly and Josh, the owner comes out to visit. I had the Sunset Dinner, a steal at $25. Pork chops cooked to perfection with the best stuffing and garlic mashed potatoes. The Lava Bar is a must try for desert. My wife had the fish trio which was equally well done. Currently the Bistro is still a BYOB which makes it even more of a killer bargain. Much of the staff are from the Maui Four Seasons and it shows. If you want a great meal at a reasonable price AND ambiance, give 808 Bistro a try. You won't regret it.

  • Georgia M.

    Decided to take my dad here for father's day after I found out it was BYOB (yes, it still is-- it takes a while to get a liquor license in Maui county, apparently), and it turned out he and my mother had come several times and really enjoyed it! I had the trio of fish, which is mahi mahi served three ways, all of which were quite tasty although one of them was a little sweet even for me-- and I'm a sweet-toothed monster. But the food was generally delicious (the focaccia they served before the meal was fantastic) and the service was great. As an added bonus they were playing a lot of great music tracks-- female vocalists who serve as an overlap between my dad's musical taste and mine, mainly Sade, Tracy Chapman, and Norah Jones --which was awesome. Unfortunately this little gem is tucked in behind the loud and mildly obnoxious Fred's Mexican restaurant so it doesn't get the love and attention that it should. If you're looking to get meals in the $15-20/person range and you want a really nice, pleasant, and very tasty meal, definitely give 808 Bistro a try. And then tell your friends. (Note, of course, that this is the 808 "Bistro," not the 808 "Deli," which is in the same building.)

    1. FABULOUS FABULOUS FABULOUS 2. You can bring your own wine. 3. Little hard to find, stick with it and avoid all the other restaurants in Kihea 4. The owner overheard me talking to my husband about his 50th birthday and surprised us with a dessert with candle. The unexpected surprise was totally amazing. 5. The food was great, try the pork and beans, trust me. 6. We did not have a reservation, and 3 teens, and they treated us like royalty. 7. SKIP the ghetto restaurants and go here. We loved it. Can't wait to go back 8. Did I mention that you can bring your own wine? ---don't care about the reason why. :-)

    Went for breakfast Because of the good reviews. I had the short rib omelet, banana bread French toast and the waffle of the day. The short rib omelet was okay nothing special. Was disappointed by the banana bread french toast. Don't believe the hype on the banana bread French toast. Ive had better banana bread from the supermarket. The waffle was really overpriced. It was a small serving with a lot of whip cream. The service was not so great also. We were the only ones in the restaurant at one point and the waiter only checked up on us twice. My water was empty During my whole meal.

    This place was not as great as the Yelp reviews hyped it up to be, but it was still a good meal. We made it in time to get the Sunset deal - I think it was $25 for a salad, entree and dessert. The beef entree that I had was topped with a sauce that I thought was too sweet for the beef - and I have a sweet tooth. The bread pudding I ordered for dessert was also just average. But overall, a decent meal for a decent price.

    This food was outstanding! Banana coconut curry soup was brilliant. Short ribs were great. Even the garlic butter served with the bread had a special balsamic twist. Leeah was our server and took great care of us but we got love from several of the staff who took a second to fill water bring more bread etc. Don't pass this place up when your in Maui!

    My husband and I had dinner tonight at the bistro, and when we got home, he told me we needed to write a review. We're fans of the deli, and have been for years (we come to maui every january) and we figured we had to give the bistro a shot. Our waitress was phenomenal - as was the entire crew. Our appetizer, the goat cheese plate was amazing. My husband ordered the pot pie - he loved it - and it was HUGE and filling. I ordered the mahi with a spicy rub/fruit salsa. It was perfect. We also shared the bread pudding for dessert - we ended up taking most of it home.. We've been coming to maui for a decade, and I'll tell you - this is the best meal we've had on the islands. Don't forget to pick up your own wine on the way! Congrats, guys - this second experiment (the first being their awesome deli ) definitely is a star!

    Came back for their Sunset Prix-Fixe before 6pm. Tasted their Portugese Sausage Soup which was good but we passed. Ordered a green salad with apple curry dressing which was large and good. The beef sparerib with BBQ mustard sauce was tasty and nicely accompanied by garlic mash and asparagus. We ordered the flat iron steak and the balsamic reduction was excellent. The scalloped potatoes had bleu cheese and was great. We ended with a passion fruit sorbet and mud pie gelato from a local maker and were satisfied. Glad we cane back for the food, fair price and sunset.

    The service was amazing here, and the food is priced right. Seeing all the rave reviews of this place, I had to check it out while in Kihei. Although I thought the food wasn't 'to die for,' the overall experience is what everyone is talking about. No corkage fee and they provide both beer glasses and nice wine glasses. The food was by far, better than average, but not outstanding. That being said, you're not going to pay an arm and a leg here, which makes the overall experience wonderful. Basically, this place is nice, romantic, reasonable for sure, and the food is priced right.... I forgot, the service is outstanding! Support local restaurants, and go here... Don't forget to bring your own booze.

    This was a great find for breakfast (thanks to the other yelpers). They had some interesting menu items that gave the hawaiian breakfast a twist. Only four stars because they didn't serve rice with their eggs and port. sausage. The portions are very generous and the price isn't spendy at all for the area. It's BYOB so if you'd like to add a little vodka to your blood mary mix - go to town.

    We went for breakfast after reading all of the great reviews..... However I totally regretted it. My food was terrible! The pork chop was small with no flavor my husbands fish was small and over cooked and worst of all 50.00 for breakfast that tastes worst than Mcdonalds..........Seriously go to Dennys at least their food is better! If you want to spend allot of money for mediocre food then by all means go here!

    I think I will be a little disappointed when they get their liquor license cause BYOB is kinda fun. We didn't have reservations - it was about 5:30 and the place was packed so the receptionist said it would be at least an hour but then she very helpfully arranged a table for us in the "bar" area and we had the best time. It seems that everything on their menu was just yum. The Braised short ribs were very lean and had an interesting glaze that we all enjoyed. The special - a Panko crusted Ahi looked amazing and the two people in our party that ordered this thoroughly enjoyed it. The Short Rib pot pie had a crust on it that was light and crispy and the filling was savory and hearty. As I said the place was packed but we wanted for nothing as far as service went. We will be back (with reservations) soon.

    We opted to skip the whole luau/dinner cruise scene and decided to go to 808 Bistro due to yelp's recommendation. Im glad we did! The food was decently priced ($15-20 an entree). I especially enjoyed the crab dip appetizer! My bf hates crabs but he loved the dip!! The pork chops were moist and cooked just the way I liked it. And fyi, it's a BYOB type of place. The employees were very friendly and personable, I would def recommend the 808 :)

    Loved this place! My husband & I dined here after reading the reviews on yelp. The restaurant is sort of hard to find, but it is worth the search. It is quiet, the wait staff is friendly and the food is excellent. I had a pork chop (which I don't usually get) and it was so good! The restauran was still BYOB (last week of July 2010), but no corkage so that was a nice bonus. Sort of wish they did that in CA! The manager came by every table to make sure everything was up to par. If we were going back to Maui anytime soon, I would totally go back.

    Great meal while vacationing in Maui. Found this place on Yelp and it was everything reviewers said. All four of us loved our meals, and price was very reasonable. We visited for dinner. Two of us had the short ribs and loved it. My Dad couldn't stop talking about it for 2 days! My wife had the short rib pot pie and thought it was delish also. She loves good chicken pot pie and thought it was great. I tried and agreed. Crust was flaky and it was like a beef stew inside. My mom had the clam spaghetti. She's usually very picky but really like it as well. I also had an 808 salad, which was really good and my wife had the broccoli curry soup. She loved it and I'm not a big broccoli fan, but I like curry, and I even liked it. Overall, a fabulous meal. Make reservations. We called on a Thu about 11am and they could get us in before 6pm or after 8pm. We took 6pm and there were only about 2 other tables seated when we arrived (its small). We were served quickly, everyone was friendly, a great experience.

    Had a nice, relaxing dinner with a great view of the South Maui sunset. At first it seemed like the restaurant was in a strange location but once seated I realized how unique it was. The service was great and the food was good. We started with baked crab dip appetizer, which was nice (not amazing but nice). I had the pork and beans, which was great (don't be turned off by the name). My partner had the gorgonzola alfredo which was really good. We shared the mac nut bananas foster for dessert and it was wonderful. Next time I'm on Maui I'll go back for breakfast as the menu looked great.

    Nice restaurant placed in the back of a complex of stores with outdoor seating and view of the beach. I had the pork chop, which was very good. It came with delish mashed potatoes, a ratatouille, and the best buttery stuffing. Very enjoyable. Topped it off with some Kona coffee ice cream. Will definitely return next time in Kihei.

    Yelp doesn't have enough stars! :) This is a 10 star place! Service is super friendly, seating on the terrace facing their own court yard and watching sunset is unbeatable! Food is absolutely the best on the island!!! We had Cordon Bleu, Pork Chops, Tomato soup, Baked Crab Dip, Banana bread french toast, and Bread pudding dessert. All the meats are well cooked, but incredibly juicy and flavorful! Crab dip is a must try, but beware-it's very rich and filling! Bring your own drinks :)

    Open air French bistro restaurant great for breakfasts. The reviews are spot on, the banana bread French toast is a must try. I had the curry omelet and it was an interesting take on an omelet; it was also extremely filling. The hash browns were the highlight and perfectly prepared. The coffee could use some work; it was burnt and bland. Great ambience with a view of the ocean.

    My girlfriend and I started off with a large 808 salad which was very tasty and a nice warmup to our entrees. For the entree, I ordered the braised boneless short ribs with a whole grain mustard BBQ sauce, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, vegetable du Jour (ratatouille). The short ribs were tender, tasty, and plentiful on its own, but that much better paired with the sweet and thick BBQ sauce that really showed off the whole grain mustard. The mashed potatoes were very good, but not garlicky and ratatouille is ratatouille. My girlfriend ordered the short rib potpie which is braised short ribs, jus, puff pastry encrusted, and some veggies. Again, the short ribs were tender & tasty and mixed perfectly with a nice gravy and root veggies all topped with a fluffy, flaky, crispy crust on top. The service was excellent with a team of people working through the tables to make sure dirty dishes were cleared, water glasses filled, and hot meals brought to the table. Considering this place is lumped in with a few other restaurants and stores in a sort of strip mall, they have done wonders for the ambiance by creating a starlit open air dining area and a covered dining area that is also open air overlooking some greenery that does a nice job of masking the nearby busy street. For under $60 we had an app, two entrees, and tip...this place is 5 star dining at 3 star expense...and don't forget, his place is BYOB!!!

    Just finished dinner at the 808 Bistro, and I found it to be a extremely pleasant experience. My husband, Mom and 7 month old were with me, and we all had a greet time. We were lucky to get a reservation, so make sure to call ahead, and BYOB. We brought a bottle of wine, and our waitress was more than attentive. She was very friendly, talked to the baby, and was a very good server as well. The manager came by to check on everything, and he was extremely friendly too. The food was excellent, we has 2 Apps, 3 entrees, and 3 desserts, everything on the menu is appealing. And very reasonable, for all that food out bill was only about $100. Some of the best food on the island!!

    Awesome, awesome, awesome. Great food, great value, great service. We came here for dinner with a party of 10-- most people had the 3-course sunset menu ($25-- AMAZING deal for the amount and quality of food...). Everyone enjoyed it and left FULL!!! It's BYOB-- so bring a bottle of wine (or 4 bottles, like we did...) We'll definitely be coming back the next time we're in Maui!

    My family of 4 and I ate here for breakfast for our last day in Maui. What a huge disappointment. We got there at 9 am. The server said "is it ok if we serve the kids first because what you ordered (flanksteak) is going to take awhile to cook". What could we say? NO and have them spit on our food? The kids received their food at 9:30 and we received our food at 10am. Mind you, there were only two other families (of 2) that were there. Why in the world would it take SO long to cook breakfast? This really dampered everyone's mood. The busboy was awesome, and if I could tip him on the side, I would.. The server was rude, cocky and really didn't care if we were being helped or not. We had to flag him down several times. The only thing that tasted decent was the banana bread french toast. The curry omlete was 3-4 pieces of sausauges with avocado and a LOT of onions. It may have well been an onion omelet. The flank steak tasted like something we could have grilled on our own at home. Folks, save your money and go somewhere else. We ate at Kihei Cafe the day prior, and the food was just AWESOME. It was order at the counter and serve yourself, but the food was good. Even Home Maid Cafe was good. At least their food is good. 808 Bistro: don't charge what you do for horrible service. I wouldn't have felt bad if it were an order at the counter and serve yourself, but for a place that has an ocean view, you can do better on service.. Disappointed in yelp reviews, which drew me to this place. Maybe they are better for dinner, but pass on this place for breakfast.

    Affordable place to eat in Maui especially since it is down the street (5 min drive) from the super expensive resorts. Dinner: had the crab dip, some of the bread was slightly burned but it didn't matter because the dip was so good..mmmmmm...the husband had pork and beans. He loved the melt in your mouth pork! He thought the beans were, well beans. I got the three different mahi mahi preparation. I liked 2 out of 3 preparations. We got the lava bar for dessert. It was super sweet which hit the spot for me! Service was great. The waitress recommended pork and beans to my husband which was really good. The bus boy constantly refilled my water. The bread came out warm and they brought us another basket after we were done with the first one. The waitress accurately described the lava bar as so sweet it makes your teeth hurt. (Exactly what I was looking for.) FYI the place is BYOB! We came back for breakfast: I got the short rib omlette (waiter recommendation), which was huge! The short ribs were cooked to perfection. Had to add a tiny bit of salt, but the meat was done so well I forgive it! Also get the pog (pinapple, orange?, and guava juice). Saw some of the other reviews and decided to add the following time: Ask your waiter/ waitress what they like and order that! Not sure about the other food on the menu but this is probably the best way to go.

    A very good, inexpensive but high-quality place to eat in Kihei. We had "pork and beans" - which was very tasty pork tenderloin with a cassoulet of bean, and short ribs. The meat was tender. I found the BBQ sauce a bit over the top - I wish I had ordered the short rib pot pie, as it is served in an au jus. But overall, a very delightful dining experience. By the way, it's byob. Bring a bottle of your favorite juice!

    If you can find Moose's or Fred's in Kihei, you can find 808 Bistro...and it is SO much better than those two eateries. Just picture yourself walking into a snail's shell when you spot Fred's and you are there! 808 Bistro gussied up the name of their phenomenal "pork and beans"...now it riffs on the pork tenderloin...good job since the "pork & beans" name turned me off until one of their personable wait staff encouraged me to try it...now it is my go-to favorite. 808 Bistro has an incredible Sunset Menu deal...$25..soup or salad (their soups are a MUST), fresh baked bread, entree, and dessert (yummy warm brownie sundae! is my favorite). Their fish is as fresh as the ocean. Oh, the warmth of their service makes me feel so special. Remember BYOB...bring your favorite wine or craft beers.'.their bar ware is top notch. There IS an ocean view plus the nestled location keeps road noise at bay. Try their breakfast, too,...sumptuously gourmet, filling, and surprisingly economical.

  • Keith K.

    The positive is certainly the price. Can't find food this cheap in Maui very easily. We both had the banana bread French toast which was okay. A little heavy and felt like we were just eating banana bread soaked in syrup. The way people talked about the banana bread French toast we were expecting better.

    (2)

  • Tony K.

    Simple menu and excellent food. The food was fresh and the service was great. We had the Keiki waffle for my daughter which she loved and my wife had a ham breakfast sandwich. I ordered the curry omelette and was very impressed. Coffee was nice too. It is our favorite breakfast place so far.

  • Nitas M.

    Amazing food and great ambiance. My fiancé and I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try and we are excited we did. My fiancé literally licked his plate clean (I have a picture of it!!) definitely recommend this place, we are trying to figure out a way to go back for their breakfast.

  • Fred K.

    This is a new place for us. It took over the space that used to be the Greek Bistro. We didn't have reservations so we were put in the back. Which was fine for most of the meal. It was only towards the end when a large family of 16 showed. The food was spectacular. The place does not sell alcohol but you can bring your own beer and wine. The hostess was "indifferent" but the waitress was good and the helpers were good. Over all, it is a place we would go back to. And, we did.

  • Lisa P.

    SPECTACULAR!!!!!! The Food was as good as it gets! Sooooo delicious! The service was great! The prices are great! We had the Short Rib Pot Pie and the 808 Pork chops. Both meals were to die for, but the pork chops were the tenderest and moist we have ever eaten anywhere!! You will not be disappointed! Can't wait to go back!

    (5)

  • Jeanne C.

    This place is great - the portions are generous, the food is excellent, prices are reasonable and the staff and management seem to really care what you think! Oh, and just as important for me, you can bring your own wine-any type or amount, cheerfully opened for you, with no corkage charges whatsoever! The menu tends a bit more toward meat than seafood; good hangar steak and stuffed pork chops. There are also a variety of crisp salads with tasty dressings. We liked it enough to dine there twice. Seating is on a patio with just a hint of a view, or a pleasant atrium if the weather isn't great. Recommended!

  • Alex B.

    This place is most excellent. Been here for dinner twice with the girlfriend and guests, all of whom enjoyed their meals. The wait staff is very friendly and it's BYOB, they even give you chilled glasses and a bucket of ice to keep your drinks in. Outdoor ambiance is very pleasant, a nice place to go for dinner after watching a sunset! So far every entree has been very good, especially the pork dishes and flank steak, and the bleu cheese apple gratin on the side is a winner. Haven't been for breakfast yet but would like to try.

    I ordered one piece of French toast and a side egg with sausage.... it was kind of mediocre.... traveling partner had the short rib omelette and it looked really good, he said it was delicious. Both the guava juice and pog were fermented! Gross.

  • Jodu M.

    Great experience. Just a few miles from the over-priced resorts in Wailea is this hidden gem. We started with the Buffalo Shrimp with a Gorgonzola Cream Sauce. Perfect amount of spiciness to allow the gorgonzola to work it's magic. My wife had the Maui Cordon Bleu. I had the Pork Chop. The Bleu had an intriguing crust with a pineapple sauce. Chicken was extremely moist and tender and was not overdone by the amount of cheese in the dish. The chops were brined and had a lot of flavor. They were slightly overcooked, but it was easy to overlook because of the wonderful candied onions on top. The dish came with one of the best stuffings I've ever eaten. Funny how macadamia nuts make everything taste so good. Both dishes were serves with ratatouille that was the highlight of the meal for me. The highlight of the meal for my wife was dessert. Bananas Fosters prepared with macadamia nuts. Incredible! The only potential down-fall is they don't have a liquor license. However, guests are allowed to BYOB and they do not charge a corkiage. Definitely would encourage anyone to visit.

    I had a salad at the deli, and I came back for dinner another night. I got the salad with goat cheese, and the pork chop. Their salads are exactly the type I like -- a bit of rich cheese, some nuts, a bit of variety in the veggies, and a fairly light dressing. The pork chop dish was also superb. This was one of the better meals I had on Maui.

    This place was the perfect spot for brunch. You have a peekaboo view of the ocean from the patio, and a lush garden to look out at. The service was quick and friendly, and the food was great! If you go for brunch, you must order the banana bread french toast. It's decadent, delicious and filling. I could only eat two slices, but was stuffed for hours!

    7 days in Maui and we're back again at 808. Once at the 808 Deli for lunch,(yummy porkie panini), twice at 808 Bistro! Dinner here is fabulous. A couple of us ordered the mahi-mahi, dad had the short ribs (which is loved) and the husband had the pork chops. Nice ambiance, great service! And if you get there before 6, be sure to take advantage of the early bird special...3 course meal for $25!

    While on vacation, we came here for breakfast and wow, the food was amazing and reasonably priced. For my savory palate, I had the short rib and jalapeño omelette which was delicious and spicy; a unique ingredient combo that i haven't seen anywhere else. A must try! For a sweet tooth, my boyfriend had the banana nut bread French toast, which was a little too sweet. Overall, great food, beautiful view of the water, service was spot on, and its BYOB. A must check out while in Maui!

    Wow the sunset special. The wait staff is awesome. You can bring your own booze one star, the food was awesome (pork chop & short ribs) two star, desert brownie ice cream one star, and lastly the soup, best cauliflower soup I've ever had. And that's why it's 5 stars. Oh and you get to watch the sunset during dinner. It was dope.

    This is my favorite restaurant on Maui so far. Their short ribs would impress Gordon Ramsey. Melts in your mouth and has big BBQ flavor. Their butternut squash soup was superb and the night was finished off with Macadema Nut Bananas Foster which was pretty outrageous! The service was super friendly and attentive. Thanks to fellow Yelpers for their suggestion.

  • Paul F.

    This is a hidden gem in Kihei. I personally go here for one thing and one thing only, the buffalo shrimp with gorgonzola blue cheese cream sauce. It's actually an appetizer, but it's delish. Their salads are pretty good and entrees are ok. I usually do fish and make it a seafood night out with a great view of the sunset in their open air seating area.

    Came here for dinner after reading the reviews on yelp. Hubby had the pot pie which was a decent size, and hubby said quite tasty. I had the pork and beans and for some reason I was thinking the pork would be like pulled pork chunks but it boneless chops which were actually decently juicy for chops but my fav was the beans and spinach which came in tasty sauce. Service was very slow but at least they keep the fresh bread and butter (that night it was balsamic butter) coming throughtout your 35-40 minute wait for your food to come out. We were in no rush although we were very hungry but like I said the fresh bread helped. We received a coupon that night for free banana bread french toast so we decided to come here the next morning for breakfast before heading out to the road to Hana. BIG mistake. Service again was very slow, girl took our order and brought us our coffee but after that she basically never came back to our table. My hubby ordered a omlette and I ordered the banana french toast. You would think these two plates would not take so long right? eggs dont take long to cook and french toast either...there werent even that many people there maybe 2 other tables total of 6 other people. But again food took about 35-40mins to come out and this time it was not worth the wait. The french toast were a big disappointment for me, it was basically just slices of banana bread barely dipped in eggs and grilled, to me it was more like slices of banana bread then actual "french toast", hubby's omlette looked goood, nothing special. We were sitting there done with our meal just sitting there because even our coffees were empty for at least 15mins. Finally our bill was brought and again we sat there for at least another 10mins...I finally lost it, the place isnt that big that the waitress couldnt see that we were just sitting there if she was actually doing her job we could have been out of there 30 mins prior, so we got up and went over to where the bus boy was and handed him the bill with the coupon and credit card, there was then a confusion wether the discount had been apllied and our waitress came over and confused the matters even more. Not sure what happened after that because I had to go to the car before I really lost it. Seriously I know we were in Maui and everyone is chill but when food is so $$ and place is so small you expect good prompt service. Id say deff try this place out for dinner but breakfast is nothing special and not worth the 2-3hrs. Try Cafe @The Plague for breakfast, their bagels are amazing (my fav is the pineapple bagel) and they seem to have a good breakfast menu as well though I didnt try. There is a nice beach across the street so you can take your food to go and enjoy at the beach.

    My family and I had dinner here last night. I had the gorgonzola penne, my wife had the short ribs, my mother in law the chopped salad and my son had spaghetti with butter. All the dishes were very good and the price was reasonable. We even brought our own wine and there was no corkage fee to my surprise. The staff was very friendly and accommodated us even though they were busy and we had no reservations. I was also pleasantly surprised by how fast the food came. The only downside is the lack of menu choices but otherwise I highly recommend this place.

  • Sonya T.

    The pork chops were good and my boyfriend got the clams spaghetti, which was also good. Another good thing is that you can bring your own wine with no corking fee since they do not serve alcohol. Only real complaints are that it took a while to get served and to even get our waiter to our table when we first sat down.

  • Kevin D.

    We had a great evening here. The food was great. We loved the Buffalo Shrimp. Then we had the mahi mahi 3 ways, each was fabulous. Nice quite location set back from the street. Could still see the ocean and sunset. She staff was great, each and every one. Make sure to break away from your busy day and sit and relax here. Oh Yeah, BYOB. (Wine beer etc) There is no fee for this and you will not get any from them. No liquor license. But they have chilled glasses for beer, wine glasses, and chillers for wine and Champaign. Very nice.

    When my fiance and I were looking for an affordable lunch while searching for a wedding location in Maui we came across great reviews for 808 Deli. After our pork sandwiches we were immediaterly hooked. We returned the next day for their breakfast sandwiches and were again thoroughly impressed. Since we had not found a catering company for our wedding we went out on a limb and asked Josh and Jim (the brothers who run the deli) if they would be willing to provide the dinner for our wedding. Two months later we had them host our rehearsal dinner at their 808 Bistro and then had them cater our wedding the next day at Olowalu Plantation House; it was PERFECT!!! Josh and Jim provided us with the entire outside dining area at their 808 Bistro for our wedding party, and it felt like we were eating a gourmet dinner at home. They came up with a unique menu for the dinner; the catch of the day and appetizers were amazing and everyone raved for the remainder of our wedding about how great the night was. My wife and I could not have asked for a better night, and the staff at 808 Bistro were to thank. The next day we had out wedding, and again Josh and Jim delivered an amazing meal to our 80 guests! The Maui Pork and potatoes au' gratin were my personal highlights. We could not have been more impressed with their catering. Josh and Jim had worked at the Four Seaons before opening 808 Deli (and now 808 Bistro as well) and we felt like we had gotten five star dining at a three star price. Overall my wife and I are extremely grateful to Josh and Jim for making our wedding week an experience that we and our guests will never forget. From their casual 808 Deli to their ultra-Hawaiian 808 Bistro, you will truly enjoy your experience here. We can not thank them enough and we cant wait to come back to eat with them on our anniversary!

    Breakfast =Curry omelette! Banana bread french toast! Dinner = Short rib! All meals = BYOB, no corkage! And you still get an ocean view (albeit set back a little from the main drag) without the ocean view prices. Please frequent this special place so it doesn't fail like the Greek place before it. (We're only in Maui a couple times a year, so we can't do it alone.)

  • Eric M.

    It was good but not fantastic. Kind of surprised by all the 5 star reviews. The food was pretty greasy and the ham that came with my wife eggs was very fatty. Egg sandwich was really good. Omelettes were good but a little greasy. We ordered one slice of bannana french toast. It was good but the egg on it was very thin. My wife also asked the rudest waitress we had on our whole trip if it came with chopped bannanas on top. The waitress treated the question like she was an idiot just saying three different ways that the bread was MADE with bannanas. The waitress just seemed like she flat out hated being there. Kind of put a damper on the whole meal. Paid $64.00 for egg sandwich; two omelettes; one order of waffeles; two eggs and hash browns; one slice of bannana bread french toast; no drinks.

    This was a fabulous meal, everything was delicious and the portions were huge. We had a butternut squash soup which was amazing and then my husband had the short ribs (really good) and I had the pork chop (also really good). We brought home the leftovers for lunch the following day. It was BYOB, so we brought a bottle of champagne to celebrate our first anniversary and there is no corkage fee. They just opened in January and are waiting for their liquor license to come through, at which point they will have a full bar available. The food as a little heavy, but it was delicious and the restaurant was super cute and comfortable and the service was terrific.

  • Lori A.

    WOW! We made the trip down from Kaanapali for dinner near the end of our stay. This place is tucked back from the main drag so it takes a little looking to find but so worth it. We had a nice table with a view of the water. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We started with the Goat cheese appetizer, it came with candied pecans, grapes and mango chutney..so good, the wedge of cheese was huge. I would come back for this alone. We shared a side caesar salad and then had the pork and white beans and short rib entrees. They were both so good, very tasty with nice layers of flavors. We opted for the banana macadamia nut foster which I would not order again but we saw other desserts that looked great. It is BYOB which is a price saver, bring your own wine or beer and save some extra money! Our entire meal was less than $80 a real bargain anywhere especially on Maui. We were stuffed! The owner came around to each table to make sure everyone was enjoying their meal, a nice touch. By far the best meal we have had on Maui in all of our six vacations. We were only sorry we weren't staying closer this time as we would have returned many times. I would highly recommend this spot and hope the word gets out so they can reap the rewards from their efforts.

    This place is a well kept secret! The concierge at the Grand Wailea didn't even know about it. We wanted something really Yummy, and not a goofy tourist trap. It's hidden by a big Mexican restaurant and then you have to wind through some hallways to get there. It's not a fancy atmosphere, but the chef, formerly at four seasons, is awesome. My husband had the short ribs - awesome. I had a salad and the asparagus soup - delish. My daughter had a beef pot pie thing that was yummy. Save room for dessert!!!!!! Good stuff and you get a bang for your buck!

    This place was one of the best places we ate while on Maui. Service was excellent and the food was very tasty. I tried the 808 Pork chops and the braised shot ribs. Both were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Pork chops came with garlic mash and portuguese sausage stuffing and both complimented the pork chops nicely. Also, we listened to recommendations and got the soup. The soup was a clam chowder and let me just confirm what others are saying... GET THE SOUP! The chowder was delicious and hearty.

    We had an outstanding dinner at the 808 Bistro last week! The ambiance is so pleasant with outdoor seating, an ocean breeze and a slight view. The staff was attentive but low key, pleasant and helpful. We began our meal with the delicious crap dip that tasted fresh. I then had an herbed Mahi that was simple, light and delicious. My friend ate the pork chop, which was exceptionally tender and tasty! We brought our own bottle of wine, which they quickly chilled for us. We enjoyed a quiet dinner in a peaceful setting with excellent food for a price far more reasonable than area restaurants of similar quality. We've already recommended the 808 Bistro to multiple friends in the area and plan to return promptly upon our next visit to Maui!

  • Regina C.

    best place to eat on maui. I have been vistiing my favorite auntie and she brought me to this gem. Now i have been to Maui many times and have had some great meals, but this was the bees knees in all ways possible. with outside seating with ocean views you cant go wrong. now although i was at dinner with my aunt and frown upon incest, this was a very romantic spot for a nice dinner. Being from southern California and always wanting to look my best, the lighting did wonders, but it wasn't overly sultry just perfect. ok. so moving forwards through aesthetics . our waitress was cute and bubbly, we had brought our own wine which she promptly uncorked. they have a small menu, but you know what they say about small things. i ordered the coconut carrot curry soup with creme frache, which was To die for, the creme was drizzeled on in a way that looked like it spelled out sars. which was funny to me, as i have a weird sense of humor. hahahah. anyways, for my main meal i scored the Short Rib Pot Pie. a heartys stew type yumness with a puff pastry crust. hearty and amazing. comfort food in a new way even. My aunt had the Maui Chicken Cordon bleu. I did not taste it but she enjoyed it, however she enjoyed mine more. The dessert was a awesome maui bananas foster with mac nuts and vanilla bean ice cream, althogh they did not catch it on fire at the table it was still killer, there other dessert choices sounded equally as amazing as well, which is something i like in a small bistro. sometimes these types of places only have one great dessert item and the rest can be rather ho-hum, but no 808 bistro, next time i go i will get the lava brick ( go eat their to find out what that slice of awesome is) And again my waitress was way nice and one of the owners ( the other owner was the chef) kept talking to us, and you can really tell they take pride in not only what they make but ambiance as well as service. top notch. the best part, and kindest was i forgot my camera at the table and the owner came sprinting out to find me to return it way out in the parking lot. I thought that was an awesome gesture as my camera is kinda expensive and also for the fact he did it himself and didnt send the hostess or a waitress. I like that in a business owner and i hope 808 bistro stays open for a long time so i can come here and enjoy the place. so in conclusion. nice spot. great view great lighting hot funny but classy waitstaff enthusiastic management awesome chef which means-- awesome food. so if you are in maui and staying in the kihei area, go check this place out.

    808 is a fun and friendly BYOB restaurant hidden behind Fred's Mexican. The food is fresh and tasty with a homemade backyard BBQ feel.

    Loved, loved, loved this place! Perfect location, friendly, helpful, quick service, and delicious food! Ambiance was a double bonus! Between my husband and I, we tried the short rib omelet, curry omelet, eggs and hashbrown breakfast, banana bread french toast (amazing!), goat cheese sampler plate, short ribs entree, 808 salad with Mahi, and the brownie sundae (don't worry, that was three different meals!). Everything was delicious. I don't know why the place isn't always crowded (especially with the sunset view!), but we were thankful it wasn't. Dinner reservations for our anniversary also got us a front row seat for the sunset (though we'd had the same nice view for both breakfasts we ate there, too :-)). Would highly recommend you try this place, and that you try the banana bread french toast!

    We visited this place twice during our vacation. Loved the short rib dish, which was very tasty and quite lean. The pork and beans is the best, tender, savory and a little sweet. Actually it is the most tender pork loin we've ever tasted. We did take out for our second visit. The flat iron steak was very tasty, but not very tender. The mahi-mahi with Caribbean spice was a big disappoint though. It was really bland and the fish was over cooked as well.

    Friendly service, top notch food and no dinner entree over $20 - value doesn't get any better than that in Maui. Bring your own wine!

    This place was the best breakfast I've had in my life! Must get the focaccia breakfast sandwich and banana bread French toast!!!

    Wonderful! I ordered the fish trio and it was amazing. In addition to that you are able to bring your own wine that really helps bring down the cost of the meal. They have a set sunset meal deal for only $25 (5pm-6pm) for 3 courses!

    This place should do well. We ate there twice on our recent vacation to Maui. Our first night we were looking for a place close to our condo. It's a cool, quiet ambiance tucked away just a little bit off the street, yet you still can see the ocean. They were busy enough for a 15 minute wait before getting seated but we just walked around the area a little bit to pass the time. We returned for breakfast a few days later. Service was exceptional. Egg dishes are fantastic. I had a focaccia egg sandwich which was delicious. Apparently the BYOB is due to the fact the liquor license on the prior establishment had expired by just a few days and 808 Bistro had to start the permitting process from scratch. Anyway, great food, great atmosphere, great service. Can't go wrong!

    The boyfriend and I wanted a relaxed inexpensive dinner where we could relax and watch the sunset while enjoying excellent food... enter 808 bistro. Hands down, the best meal we ate on this side of the island. They don't have their liquor license yet so be sure to grab a bottle or two before you go.

  • Josh U.

    We ate here twice during our stay and were pleased both times. The Wellington app. was amazing. The pot pie and pasta alfredo both were great as well. We tried the Mahi with the tomato burre blanc (sp?) and the chicken cordon bleu and they were just ok, nothing special. Service was great and they are reasonably priced. They do not serve booze so bring your own, no corkage fee.

  • Al J.

    Don't get the high reviews for 808. Very mediocre in all areas - menu, presentation, food (bland), service. Nothing bad but nothing close to memorable. Had puff pastry lamb and the 808 salad to begin. Both were OK. Had mahi mahi two different ways - blackened with fruit salsa and orange vermouth. Both were largely flavorless - how can fruit on Maui have no taste? Maybe we ordered the wrong things. But there was no zip, nothing special to what we had. Lots of better choices nearby.

    I was referred to the 808 Bistro from a Resort which my husband and I are members of. On 4/4/12, I was hosting an Anniversary breakfast for 24 people being that my husband and I renewed our vows in Kihei, Maui to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The owner at 808 Bistro, Mitch was very helpful. He offered to close the restaurant to host a private breakfast party for us. This being the first buffet that Mitch and his staff executed turned out to be awesome. I even customize the menu to my preference. The food and the service was great! Thank you again Mitch for a Job well done. You and your staff did an amazing job! Melissa and Raul Corral

    Really great place to relax for dinner. Bring your own wine/beer. Hidden away behind the Mexican restaurant. Small and yummy menu.

  • Jay G.

    Service is personal and attentive. This place is BYOB so come with your wine and/or beer. The owners are visit and personable, and the entrees are all $4-8 less than any other restaurant you'll visit in Maui. This restaurant is ironically placed behind Moose Mcgullwhatever and a Mexican joint. All the garbage eating tourists can eat there while you politely slip by to 808 Bistro. We started with the Chad salad and crab dip, which was excellent...great chunks of crab in a light cheese casserole. I had the Pork and beans...pork tenderloin over spinach and cassoulet. Absolutely amazing. So far its the best meal I've had on Maui. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

  • Michelle J.

    We had a wonderful dinner there and a fabulous breakfast too. Thanks Yelpers for the recommendation! The mahi mahi was wonderful. The view was lovely and the service was fantastic. The brownie sundae looked great, but we were too full (sadly). We did come back for breakfast to try the banana bread french toast, which was quite decadent! We'll definitely eat here again when we come back to Maui.

  • Triple C.

    Not to be confused with 808 deli! Two separate businesses with the bistro in the rear. My wife and I have only had their breakfast samplings. They are known for their banana bread French toast. Let me confirm it is excellent! I cant have regular French toast anymore! Lol! The breakfast choices include your typical selections but with portugese sausage which I must say is very tasty. Certainly a welcomed change from farmer john fatty sausage links! Portugese sausage tastes good, is less salty and has less fat! The curry omelette was tasty but I felt the curry sauce was a bit lacking. The staff is very friendly and if they make a mistake on an order, they will take care of it fast and refund you without even asking if appropriate. I can't say enough about their courteous, friendly attitudes! I may give them a higher rating once I come back for their other dinner selections. Overall, a great place to eat at!

  • Cyndy L.

    Charming open air bistro with tasty food. A good value for Maui. I really enjoyed the carrot ginger soup and the decadent breach pudding. Short ribs, mahi mahi (prepared three ways), and pot pie were also good, but not great. Cheerful service. BYOB with no corkage was a happy surprise.

    (4)

  • Kristina M.

    I've been here twice and still cant get excited about it. The atmosphere is great and the prices are good, but the food was just.. Mediocre at best. Around here you can get a piece of Mahi Mahi anywhere, and their fish was easily forgettable. The staff wasn't very nice either, I know you're busy, but at least don't leave the table while were ordering! Overall, if you're in town a short time I'd say it's not worth your time.

  • Cara B.

    We had the best dinner at 808 Bistro in Kihei. I had the Sunset Special: a salad with apple-curry dressing, pork chops (with amazing mashed potatoes and stuffing) and their famous bread pudding with whiskey sauce for desert. There are several options to choose from for the $25 Sunset Special which is served between 5-6pm. The others enjoyed the Chicken Cordon Bleu and Short Rib Pot Pie. My sister and I opted to walk home to help all that food digest better. I definitely over-ate. But it was very good. We will be back!

  • Sum D.

    I only went here once for dinner, but it was a pleasant experience. The lighting was pretty, the service decent and the food was good value for money, especially in Maui. Just one cautionary piece of advice; don't get the bread pudding for dessert. :)

  • H P.

    Well prepared bistro food in an open air setting at good prices with helpful service. Plus you bring your own wine. We had the mahi mahi prepared two different ways, good salads, and a lava bar dessert. Yum. It is good to see former Four Seasons people make it on their own. I will be back again for more good eats.

    This place was awesome. Very low key. Food was comparatively cheap but excellent! The banana bread French toast was melt in your mouth good. The herb scrambled eggs are made with fresh basil and parsley. Nice outdoor patio with surrounding tall trees and nice view of the ocean across the street. Very satisfied!

    808 Bistro was recommended by one of the travel agents in Kihei. We went because we saw the rating on Yelp and because we could take our own wine without getting charge a corkage fee. We had an excellent time. I had the pork chops; the chops were juicy and everything that came with it made the dish. He had mahi mahi with the tomato buerre blanc. Was good but nothing to write home about. What we enjoyed best is the baked crab dip appetizer. Must have if you love seafood. The setting was really nice too. We loved sitting in the open with the lights hanging above us. Go to 808 Bistro if you're in Maui.

  • Donna W.

    Such high quality food at reasonable prices! My favorite is the sides on the boneless pork chops - the Portuguese sausage stuffing is so buttery and the ragout of eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes is flavorful -and I'm a carnivore! So much food had to take leftovers home. The other pork dish with the cannelloni beans were ok, but I was still drooling over the other pork dish. Lamb Wellington was good, too. Great it is BYOB since it keeps prices down, too. Promised the manager I will eat my way through the menu.

  • Gail W.

    From my phone call for reservations to our departure the service was personable and efficient. The food was excellent. We shared a most tasty Caesar Salad, I had the Pork and Beans. The Pork tenderloin was a very generous portion, moist, tender and full of flavor. Served on a bed of Cannenlini beans topped with spinach. My husband had theFlatiron Steak with a Gorgonzola cream sauce, done just the way he requested. We topped it off by sharing the very generous dessert, Lava... a creation of warm, googey chocolate, macademia nuts, in a brownie like form. Served with a Kona Mud Pie ice cream. I can say that we have a great "date night" and will eat here again...

  • Ericka S.

    This was an awesome find for those looking for great food, romantic ambiance, at real people's prices! The food was delicious! We enjoyed the crab-ful crab dip, Mahi trio, flatiron steak & pork chops in the couple times we dined there. All were prepared to perfection! The first time we dined there I ordered the small garden salad to start. It was surprisingly small, but tasty with a walnut vinaigrette. The second time we dined there I got the chopped salad to start. Probably the best salad I had on our whole vacation!! No joke! The ambiance was romantic, although without a full ocean view, looking over a nice lawn and tropical garden setting. The menu was a little limited, offering only a handful of options, but they're all yummy! We haven't tried breakfast there yet, but it sounds fabulous! They gave us a coupon for their Banana Bread French Toast! Yum!! :). Hope to squeeze it in on our way to the airport!! ;)

    We were happy to come across this review on Yelp. We were really happy with this restaurant. It has only been open for 6 months and it isn't listed in guidebooks, etc yet. -Quiet outdoor ambiance that was pleasantly unexpected in the location it was in, it had a nice view of a garden and even a bit of an ocean view. It was a very nice view at sunset. This was a nice change for Kihei. -Casual elegance. -Great, well prepared food that is reasonably priced. Everyone in our party of 9 was very happy with their meals. -Attentive waitstaff and management that was very patient with our large party and multitude of special requests-birthday cake, special diets, 2 kids, etc. -They still don't have their liquor license, so it is still BYOB- which was great for us. We loved bringing our own wine and beer! -Don't let the location deter you. It may seem like it's hard to find or in a strange location, but it is actually a very nice setting in the back of the building. Head over to 808 Bistro while in Kihei. You won't be disappointed!

    Love this place. One year later we're back to Maui and right back to 808 Bistro. Still there, same great food and great server -- yo Leah from Washington, shout out to you, nice to see you again! With the exception of one night, I have tried to have a fish dish every night of our 10-day stay, so though I might have liked to try the pork chop or the short ribs, I opted for the Mahi Mahi with the orange vermouth preparation -- very fine. My husband had the pork tenderloin and beans -- also terrific. I had the chopped salad which was super. We again this year dined at some really high-end places on the island but all in all really love this place and out trip wouldn't be complete without a stop here. Last year gave it a 4-star review, this year bumped it up to the max because I thought the dessert offerings had improved and what I had was great - Hawaiian bread pudding. Also love the ambiance of this funky little place; I feel like we're in someplace in the middle of the jungle. They also do a great breakfast -- if we have time we will partake before we head for the airport. Keep up the good work you all! See you next year.

    We had several people recommend 808 Bistro to us. It is in kind of a different location. Behind a building and we entered through the parking lot. We were there for lunch and my wife loved her fish (I don't remember which one she ordered.) My entree was also very good. The only thing that wasn't up to par was the side salad. It was more of what I would have expected to get from a dinner than a nice restaurant. Also, they don't serve alcohol, so BYOB.

  • Anna C.

    Service is very casual here. The waitress poured water and it splashed everywhere. But, they are friendly and food is good. I had banana bread french toast and curry omelet. Banana bread french toast is very moist and not overly sweet. (It's heavy on nutmeg. If you don't like nutmeg, you might want to skip it.) Curry omelet was good, nothing to complain.

  • Miranda R.

    In the beginning service was slow to be seated but we got seated and got our drinks right away We ordered and the food came in a good time The whale pie is to die for (bistro 808's version of the mock loco) also the focaccia egg sandwich is great if you aren't a sausage or bacon lover get it without meat. overall a great place to eat Waitresses are super friendly!

    I was fortunate enough to host my wedding reception dinner at 808 Bistro on Saturday, August 8th. Leading up to our wedding reception, I worked with Mitch via email and he was always so kind and responsive to my emails and requests. We had a "sit down" dinner for 22 guests and our menu started off with a choice of green salad with a Balsamic Vinaigrette or the Soup of the Day, Entrée choices of Panko Crusted Chicken Breast Stuffed with Herbed Goat Cheese, Beef Tenderloin Medallions with a Port Wine Demi Glaze or the Mahi Mahi with an Orange Vermouth Sauce. Dessert options were Brownie Sundae, Hawaiian Sweet Bread Pudding with Whiskey Cream or Ice Cream or Sorbet. Everything was AMAZING! The food, the service, the staff! All five stars! We were able to bring in our own wine, champagne, beer and hard alcohol which saved us tons of money. I can't wait to visit Maui again and dine here. 808 Bistro is as good as it gets and I highly recommend dining here!

    Great prices, and you can see a bit of the beach/ocean from your outdoor table. Cheap/fair prices, food was fine - the waitstaff were all very friendly. Recommend for a quick, cheap bite. Not super memorable but still quaint and cute.

    This was our 1st morning stop when we arrived and here we are 2 days later, back again. The ambiance is wonderful! Open air dining with a view of the Pacific. Cool breezes across the shaded complex. I had Eggs Benedict both days. It was excellent! Light, creamy, tasty Hollandaise, yummy. The Banana Nut Bread French Toast is to die for! The service is impeccable. Extremely friendly staff, very timely and never leave you wanting or waiting. It's not just an eating experience, the staff spent plenty of time interfacing with all guest, sharing experiences of the island and making suggestions. Very laid back and relaxing! We will be back. BTW, never turn your back to the ocean! Views are wonderful.

    My boyfriend and I made it out to 808 Bistro just in time before they closed for the afternoon. They're located right across the street from the beach and have a nice, quiet patio area to enjoy your breakfast on. We had the banana bread French toast and curry omelet, which were both really good. The French toast was a bit soft, but tasty nonetheless. I liked the fact that there was no crazy line and the noise level wasn't loud at all. I'd come back again!

    I know, I know... banana bread french toast. But the show stopper for me was the veggie browns with egg whites. I'm not sure how you use Yelp, but I'm a photo stalker: rather than look at the menu, I'll just swipe through Yelp photos until I find what I need. And when I saw Jane H's photo, I knew it was the brekkie for me: veggies on top of potatoes underneath a layer of cheese and egg whites. Seriously, go look at the photo. I'll wait. And now that you're back, trust that it was even better (and larger) than it looks. With the time change, I was the only customer there, practically pouncing on a table when they opened at 7am. So while I might not be a great judge of their grace under pressure, I can say that the staff kept my coffee warm, my water filled, and let me have the best seat in the house. The super casual, unpretentious outdoor jungle atmosphere, plus the whole cheese on egg white on veggies on hash browns thing, definitely made 808 Bistro a winner in my book.

    I'm not sure if there's anything to say about this place that hasn't been said. It's a solid, no-nonsense restaurant that is an almost an unbeatable option for breakfast. I went in this morning with my husband and our toddler son. We were greeted immediately, and we didn't even have to ask for a kids' water-- the server just brought it. You'd think that that's how it would be everywhere-- but not so much! Anyway, this is one of those places where everyone is your server, it seems, which is nice. Everyone was equally friendly and accommodating! For breakfast, my husband had the standard eggs benedict, I had the crab cake benedict, and for our little one we got a slice of banana bread French toast and a scrambled egg. Everything was great. The poached eggs were PERFECT, by which I mean runny. The hollandaise sauce was good, on the lemony-spicy side, which is unique. My crab cakes were tasty and BIG! The hash browns were the shredded kind, which I really like. Our son's banana bread French toast was a generous slice, and the small bite I could steal was really good. The scrambled egg (which definitely seemed like more than one!) was fluffy and perfectly cooked-- rare for a restaurant! He completely demolished his entire breakfast, so that was great. The kicker? The French toast and the egg only came to $5.50-- way cheaper than a kids' meal ANYWHERE and a perfect portion. Finally, this place has amazing coffee. Just perfect, strong, and hot. Service was great, prices were good, everything was just awesome. I think we'll be making the drive from Wailuku a bit more often!

    We had our first Hawaiian breakfast here and the kids wanted to come back every other day. Banana bread French toast you will want at least three pieces of. Focaccia breakfast sandwich was delicious. My husband had the whale plate and not a drop was left. Waiter made a little game For our kids while We waited a short few Minutes for our meals. Waitress was helpful and pointed out that we needed to try the POG. Glad she did, it's now a Staple In our fridge at the house! Looking forward to returning for dessert after dinner Next week!

  • Lois S.

    Reasonably priced place for breakfast. Casual dining, food is tasty, service was great and food came out pretty quick. Famous for their banana bread french toast. They even sell the frozen banana bread. My son had a Big Wave,which was a large breafast ham served over hashbrown, with two eggs and gravy. He was hungry and I forgot so sorry, no picture. The best part was the waiter asked.if we were kama'aina and automatically applied an 18% discpunt without us askung for it. I live a great deal! Would definitely go back! :-)

    5 stars for their French toast ! Must try when you visit this place. Place offers pretty decent seating along with good service. They keep refilling your coffee :) what more can you ask for during breakfast I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast if you are living in Kihei town or near by.

  • Jessica L.

    This is a great breakfast place! It's rare for us to eat at the same place twice while on vacation, but we've eaten breakfast here twice already and are planning to come back again! The first day we had focaccia breakfast sandwiches. Today, we had the curry omelette, short rib omelette, and split a piece of banana bread French toast (on the waiter's recommendation). Everything we had was phenomenal and reasonably priced. The staff are very good and attentive and the owner even came out to help clear tables, take checks, etc. As an aside- we missed this place the first time we tried to eat here. It's not the 808 Deli ( which is also good for sandwiches). Go around the corner to the left and follow the black and white signs. If there's a wait, it shouldn't be long (like some other places) and it's well worth it (unlike some other places). This place is highly recommended!

  • Shauna L.

    Went here for breakfast. It's a nice relaxing place. Can sit back and just enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. I liked that it was shaded since it is an open air restaurant. I'm not sure why all the reviews rave about the banana bread French toast. All I can say is I would not get it again. For sure was nothing special. It was pretty much a thick slice of warmed up banana bread. I really could not tell why it would be called French toast. I can make better at home. The crab cake bennie was good but if you are a bennie snob like myself go down to street for a better bennie at chez meme. The short rib omelette was pretty good. Everything was tasty and satisfying but the menu doesn't have too many fun options to make me want to go back and try this place again.

  • Emily R.

    Great breakfast spot with a relaxed atmosphere and really tasty food. I ordered the crab cake benedict, my fella opted for the original benedict and we shared a slice of the banana nut bread french toast. I'm not the biggest fan of banana nut bread but this was a nice dish and not overly sweet. The crab cake benedict was great. It had a spicy kick and the hollandaise wasn't overly rich or runny. It is BYOB, so if you're craving mimosas with breakfast, that's an option. The servers were friendly and personable and generous with the refills.

    Delicious breakfast that was filling and tasty! Prices and service were great too. I had the focaccia egg sandwich and it was delicious! The eggs were fluffy, and the focaccia bread was light and fluffy on the inside with a tiny bit of crunch on the outside. It also had lots of flavor. My husband had the crab cake Benedict and thought it was good, but the poached egg was a little over-cooked. The hollandaise sauce didn't have as much flavor as he expected. Banana bread French toast was ok. We ordered it because other Yelp reviewers raved about, it honestly it just tasted like banana bread and nothing special. I was expecting it to be a little more crunchy/crispy or flavorful. It was almost soggy on the outside. Our service was very friendly and attentive, and the outdoor seating was nice and airy. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could!

    Service: 5 stars Food: 4 stars We went for dinner at 7ish, no packed & sat inside. Excellent value kids menu. Son got fresh catch which came with an excellent portion of broiled fish for kids, some veggies & mashed potato. I loved it because the fish wasn't deep fried!! My son couldn't finish the mashed so I got to try some :) It seasoned well. He finished the fish so I had no idea what is it taste like. I guess it must be good because he finished the whole thing. Oh, I also loved their complimentary bread, it was rosemary bread so yummy; tasted even better with their herb butter. Chopped spinach salad with walnut lightly tossed with their vintage dressing... So refreshing after a hot day. Short ribs came with veggies & mashed potato. The meat was juicy & tender, we finished the sauce with the rest of mashed potato. They have high chairs but no change table in the washroom which was okay, we are not very far from our resort. We will go back & try their breakfast. Yum...

    Excellent food. A must in Maui! I came here for brunch and everything I tried was just phenomenal. This place blows Kihei Caffe out of the water. The whale pie is their version of the loco moco. It consists of a piece of thick ham, lightly browned and crunchy hash browns, eggs, with brown gravy on top. This was too good.. I was tempted to order another one to split with the hubby because one was just not enough! The banana bread french toast was also good. Definitely one of the better french toasts I've had & super unique take on french toast by using really good banana bread! Service was good & the ambiance is just amazing! Sit in the patio and you'll feel like you're eating In a tropical garden. I will definitely be back again.

    Came here for breakfast and boy was I glad I did!! Great place to eat breakfast/brunch in Maui for a reasonable price!! What we got: Whale Pie - this was SO GOOD!!! My favorite! Banana Bread French Toast - pretty good; kinda just tasted like warm banana bread (ain't nothing wrong with that!) Crab Cake Benedict - pretty good with a larger crab:breading ratio Curry Omelette - this sounds weird but was REALLY good Service: Staff was super friendly and service was great!

We relied on Yelp to help us find the yummy spots. We took our own bottle of champaign and had some mimosas. We ordered the short rib omelet...a little spicy but amazing!! The eggs Benedict were super duper good!! I usually don't like runny eggs but was in the mood for something different and I'm glad I order it!! Ahhhhh-mazing!! Customer service was excellent! The chef (sorry forgot his name) is so passionate about what he makes. He came out to see if we were happy with what we ordered. If I were local I'd be a regular

    My wife and I decided to have an early breakfast here after watching the sunrise at Haleakala summit and were in a hurry since we still needed to pack. Overall the place was great. We showed up and they told us it'd be a ten minute wait but we were seated in under five. The food was exquisite and had very generous portions for the price. I had the short rib omelette and a coffee and my wife had the basic breakfast (not sure what the name was but it was your standard eggs, breakfast meat, hash-browns, etc.) and we split a double order of banana bread French toast. My omelette was phenomenal, it was fresh and flavorful and the meet was extremely soft. The hash-browns were crispy and toast was good. I didn't taste my wife's plate but she said it was "good" and the banana bread French toast was as good as my omelette. The atmosphere was casual and the service was good with the exception of us just ordering one coffee and they brought us two, it wasn't a huge deal so we didn't mention it but I'm sure they would've taken care of it if we had. We'll definitely recommend this place to others and will visit it again when we come back to the island.

    A lovely place for brunch! We came here on a Sunday and we were promptly seated on the patio. We tried the short rib omelette and 2 servings of the banana bread French toast (you can opt for 1-3 servings) - both dishes highly recommended by our waitress. The food was pretty good and they split our omelette without additional charges. I would definitely like up come back to try out other brunch goodies AND for their sunset dinner. $29.95 3 course prix fixe menu Sunday-Thursday with a view of the sunset....sounds heavenly!

    Banana bread frenchtoast was over rated. Too sweet even for me, & I have an awful sweet tooth. Omelette was mediocre. We went on a very rainy day and I know heavy rain is unusual but they were very ill equipped... the dining area floors were muddy, bathroom was flooded. Our server was wearing a filthy (like homeless filthy) shirt.

    Really nice patio. Some seats have partial ocean view. The food came out fast and tasty. For adventurous eaters, try the short rib omelet. I really enjoyed the banana bread French toast. Really nice ambiance and reasonable prices for Maui. I would definitely return for breakfast or try their puff pastry short rib pot pie. Sounds yummy

    This place is a gem! The service here is a breath of fresh air, genuine hospitality. And their outdoor seating is really nice, open air and all. The food is just as good.. I had the banana bread FRENCH toast and it was so tasty! Everything on the menu seems really worth trying

    Great food!! Awesome, attentive and relaxed service. We went here several times during our visit to Maui and felt like regulars by the end. The breakfast staff worked so well together and we're just in great moods- such a positive way to start your day. Food came out super hot and fast! Try the banana bread French toast, eggs Benny and farmers omelet- you won't be disappointed!!

  • Alexia C.

    If the food was the only thing I was rating it would have gotten 5 stars, however the guy that was "training" our waitress made things very uncomfortable. Yelling, and correcting her in front of customers made breakfast very awkward and I felt horrible for the poor girl. Other than that the Banana Bread French Toast is worth the hype.

    really nice hidden cafe with a peek a boo of the ocean. ordered crab benedict which was decent (not my favorite hollandaise), the curry omelette (interesting but i wouldn't go back for it, the curry was pretty much inside a fold of scrambled eggs, and the banana bread french toast (delicious, but just as good if it weren't "french toasted" as it was just bread with butter and syrup).

    First off, it's BYOB, so if you're looking for a drink, bring your own. We came for breakfast, so that wasn't an issue for us. The place is open air & rather small, but busy. We met a couple at The Monkey Pod (another must try!) who told us about 808 Bistro & said we just HAD to come try the banana bread French toast. Our waiter was Chris, a hippie type guy, but sweet as anything with a great personality! When I perused the menu the "Whale Pie" sounded too interesting to pass up (sliced ham, egg over medium & cheese all served over hash browns with brown gravy) & our waiter said it was his favorite item on the menu, so I went with that, but ordered a slice of the banana bread French toast for my husband & I to try. The Whale Pie was delicious, but I wasn't a fan of the rind still on the slice of ham that was buried under the egg, cheese & gravy so I slid it out & put it on a plate to cut. The egg was over easy, which I love, but just an FYI. The gravy was dark & rich. The banana bread French toast was to die for, but there's no way I could have eaten more than 1 slice, even if I'd had nothing else to eat.

    Quaint little hideAway with exceptional food and exceptional staff. Love the laid back ambiance and views of the garden and ocean. Staff is super friendly and you can tell they enjoy their jobs as they groove to the sounds of bob Marley playing on the overhead. Food is delicious and I wish we could check them out for dinner but we'll have to try on our next trip. Also, 18% Kamaaina discount!! Cheehoo! Banana bread French toast, curry omelet, short rib omelet and the eggs with beef tenderloin medallions. Fruit & yogurt bowl for the kiddos and we all left with full and happy tummies. Love this little hidden gem. Go early though, space is limited but I think it opens up more seating for dinner.

  • Kristen S.

    Yummy breakfast! Ambiance: It's like having breakfast in the middle of a jungle -- or at least, that's the feel. It's awesome! I had the whale pie which is like an American-style loco moco: hash browns on the bottom, ham and eggs over easy on top, with brown gravy. Add a touch of hot sauce and wow, this is a super delish dish! I also had a bite of the banana bread french toast and it was also very good, a lot lighter than I imagined and perfect with syrup and butter on top. The coffee is also very good. You can BYOB for a cheap cork fee, so if mimosas are on order, bring your own bubbly :)

  • Doug G.

    Nice quaint bistro we had breakfast at. Only a few customers which meant the service was excellent. Food was decent. The hash browns seemed to be the frozen type and so they were a little dry and lacked flavor. With fresh eggs it would have been nice to have country style potatoes. Nobody finished the hash browns. We got introduced to POG juice. It was an instant hit and seems to be a local phenomenon as we are now seeing the juice at many places including by the gallon at the local supermarket.

    My sister's family was staying in Lahaina but wanted to explore a bit of Kihei so they invited us out to check out 808 Bistro with them for some brunch before our cousin's wedding later in the day. It's a little tricky to find since it's tucked in back of a small shopping complex, but well worth the visit. I ordered their crab Benedict, which came with hashbrowns. I found a bit of shell in my crabcake, but I wasn't even mad because it was obvious that it was the real deal! They've got some really creative dishes on the menu that are all worth a try, and it was definitely a great breakfast spot for our little crew. Service, like most places we enjoyed in Maui, was outstanding. The staff was so friendly and personable, and very easy to chat with. Kihei is probably my favorite spot on the island for it's local feel and affordable food, and 808 Bistro comes highly recommended for me for any friends who are visiting. Food: 8/10 Service: 9/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 8/10

    My husband and I went to 808 Bistro for his birthday. When making the reservation, I asked for them to surprise him with dessert. The staff was extremely accommodating and when we got there, they had a special table set up. The food was AMAZING. We had the buffalo shrimp and the broccoli cheddar soup to start. My husband ordered the beef tips and I had the short rib pot pie. I love pot pies and this was by far, the best I have ever had!!!! I highly recommend ordering it at the bistro. After dinner, as requested, they surprised my husband with his favorite bananas fosters and the waitress even put a candle in it for him. Our experience was wonderful and we can't wait to go back to try the breakfast next time!!

    This is a great place to have breakfast. If it were not for MeMe's restaurant, it would be the best breakfast on Maui. Very unique offerings and a little bit of a view. We joked and said the worst part was the wobbly table. Fabulous Servers who keep your coffee very warm. Banana French toast is excellent. Definitely puts the hotel breakfast places on notice. Either hire these two restaurants or step it up:))) We really enjoyed 808 and will return!

  • Vyjayanthi R.

    Cute little semi-outdoorsy brunch spot, tucked away in the corner of the building. Loved the: 1. Curry omelette - very unusual flavour but delicious just the same. Fresh tasting veggies, just wish they had been cooked a little further. 2. Banana bread french toast - One of the servers recommended this as a house favourite and he was quite right! I thought it was only okay until I tried it with the maple syrup - the combination was absolutely delectable! Not overly sweet like I'm used to. Only two servers during the breakfast shift but they were very efficient! I was certainly delighted with the way one of them refilled my coffee cup without me even having to ask him about it. Slightly on the expensive side ($12 - $15 per item).

    Just don't order the flat iron steak with Gorgonzola and grapes. Maybe that should go without saying... It was pretty dead on a Saturday night.

  • W L.

    We have been to the 808 deli on many trips to Maui so we thought we would try the restaurant since they have an early prix fix menu and BYOB policy. Had the short ribs, carrot ginger soup and brownie sundae for dessert. Soup was good, short ribs tender but had a weird brown BBQ sauce with too much vinegar. Brownie was overcooked and hard. Young lady serving us was attentive and friendly. Very average food .. We will stick with the deli and won't be back to restaurant.

    Trying sunset dinner for the first time. Had the special mahi mahi with pesto and jasmine rice.

    My boyfriend and I went to the Bistro after eating at the Deli (also delicious) several times. We tried the banana french toast and thought it was good, but not necessarily out of this world. We did love our eggs, though. I got the traditional eggs benedict and he got the traditional egg breakfast. Both were fantastic and exactly what we were hoping for. We sat outside and enjoyed every moment. The coffee was also quite excellent. The orange juice was legit (not watered down and tasteless). Definitely a worth the visit -- and we'll probably come back.

  • Karana H.

    Very cute place, love the outdoor seating. We were skeptical about the curry omelet, but it actually worked pretty well and tasted great. Also had the eggs and bacon breakfast, nothing special but good nonetheless. But the star of the show was definitely the banana bread french toast. It's been over a week since we came back from Maui, but I still dream about that bread every day. It was sooo good!

  • Gabriella R.

    Loved the 808 bistro. Went there for breakfast and had the French toast, an omelette and the panini. My mom, sister and myself, we loved the food. And we had the best waiter, Chris, who was really on his game and hella cool! We will be back, guaranteed. Went back, this time for dinner, had the wedge salad (amazing) and my mom and sister split the pot pie. I tried it too. Unbelievably good, great in fact. This is by far the best place we have eaten in Maui (and we come here all the time). And, the owner and his staff are friendly and welcoming. Will be our go to from now on when we are on Maui.

  • Amanda A.

    Came here mid-morning while in Maui. The lower level was the only open area and we were seated right away where we could see the ocean. It was semi-outdoor, but very comfortable (we usually prefer inside). The eggs benedict of phenomenal. The banana bread french toast was lovely. Even if you order savory entrees, go ahead and get at least 1 slice to share of the banana bread french toast. It's totally worth it. The staff was very friendly. It was quite romantic for couples, but everyone needs to try 808 if they're in the area.

  • Peter N.

    Went here for breakfast and it was great! I was skeptical at first - I came at 9am on a Monday and it was completely empty. The fare is nothing too crazy - wife had the eggs, bacon, hash browns while I had the crab Benedict. The crab Benedict was excellent and I would definitely recommend for anyone who's a fan of both. The portions were quite generous, as was our server. As someone previously mentioned, the coffee was amazing and was continuously being topped off (which was nice, as I find this island quite pricey for coffee, even though the bean is from here?) The food was good, but I think it's because of the excessive use of butter. Something I can definitely taste (especially in the hash browns), but that made it oh so good. Food came out quick as well. I would return for the Benedict but my heart would hate me. I would come back for the coffee alone.

    We ended up here by accident. The restaurant we wanted to go to hadn't opened yet and this was the closest to where we were. I really am glad the other place was closed! The service was excellent, great ambiance and equally great food. Next time we will come here on purpose and not by accident!!

  • Ramsha B.

    Went here for breakfast without really checking their menu and when I saw the menu all I saw were eggs and their banana bread but then I saw the crab cakes. They sounded really good and so I ordered those. The hostess was kind enough to skip the poached eggs for my order. They were delicious. Especially the jalapeño cream sauce,so delectable. It went really well with the crab cakes. The service was very nice too.

  • Dustin M.

    Like no other. My significant other and I were deceived by the many recent positive reviews. Woke up expecting a nice breakfast, but 808 soon revealed their qualities of lackluster service, food quality, and cleanliness. Overpriced, tasteless, disgust. One of those places that does not deserve a toilet flush.

  • Meghan M.

    My husband and I went here for breakfast one morning. It was fantastic! They have a great covered patio with a view of the ocean (there is a street between you and the ocean though, just fyi), and the waiter told us that they had even seen some whales earlier that morning. On the menu they had a crab cake benedict that looked amazing, but I wasn't really feeling it that morning so I went with the focaccia egg sandwich, which did not disappoint. The focaccia was amazing, and if you put bacon and avocado on pretty much anything I will love it. My husband ordered a basic breakfast with eggs, toast and some kind of spicy sausage that he really liked. The waiter also suggested that we order a slice of the banana bread french toast to share because that is what they are famous for. It was really quite good, and I'm not normally a fan of banana bread. The coffee was locally grown right on Maui, and was very good. I also noticed that they offered orange juice and bloody mary mix and that you can BYOB to make bloody marys and mimosas - pretty cool if you know about it ahead of time! I would definitely recommend 808 bistro for breakfast.

  • Anthony R.

    Absolutely fantastic dinner!! Great food, wonderful service and pleasant atmosphere. To top it off, absolutely reasonable prices - same I'd expect on the mainland and a medium priced restaurant. We pledged to eat dinner somewhere different every night in Maui, but we'll probably have to double up on 808! I had the braised short rib and it was succulent and perfect. The creamed spinach was a delicious side the I swaped the potatoes out for. Awesome dinner, you can't go wrong here!

    Everything I had was nothing short of unbelievably amazing!! This is a BYOB (bring your own bottle) establishment, so don't forget the booze. I decided to follow suit with what others suggested in their reviews and I definitely wasn't let down! The eggs Benedict was awesome and I also had a slice of banana bread french toast with a glass of POG (Passion orange guava juice).

    As the cool kids say (even if they shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition), 808 Bistro is WHERE IT'S AT. Adored the atmosphere: Casual, classy, laid back, and just right for this Maui girl. There's something exceptional and serene about its location across from Kam II; the decor is classy without being ostentatious (yes I'm talking to you, Duo). Service was fast, friendly, and efficient; our breakfast, which was admittedly on the safe side (scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, Portugese sausage, banana bread French toast) was delicious and perfectly proportioned. Will I be back? No doubt.

    We celebrated our wedding at 808 bistro with 23 of our family members. Mitch was very helpful, quick to respond, and attentive in our needs. The menu was amazing and personal, the food was great, and the atmosphere was exactly what we wanted. We are so happy we chose to celebrate our wedding here! We will be back every time we visit Maui and highly recommend that everyone visit here also!

    We met some friends here for breakfast, and enjoyed our meal. Two of us had the omelets, my wife had a papaya with fruit yogurt and granola, and my friends wife had a traditional 2 egg breakfast. Very good service, and all of us enjoyed our meals. On our way in a gal leaving handed us a coupon for a cup of coffee and banana bread, so we gave that a try too, and it was also good.

  • Kiri K.

    This place has everything: charm, affordability, BYOB, great service and above all great food. My husband and I came for dinner our first evening on the island. We asked for a seat on the patio and enjoyed the sunset over the bottle of wine we grabbed on the way here. Food (in order of deliciousness): The clams. Order them. You won't regret it. The tomato basil wine sauce is delicious! Seriously, you will need extra bread for dipping. The wedge salad (we split a large. It was huge. Very generous with the bleu cheese etc) The brownie sundae. It's a brownie sundae, how do you mess that up. The mahi was great but just a little bland. Service: Terrific. The chef and two waiters tag teamed our table. No need was overlooked but I also never felt like I was being rushed. Atmosphere: Gorgeous view (although somewhat more obstructed than those you'll find at the wailea resorts). Open air patio is the best spot. Ask for a table up by the front railing. Don't miss this place. It's truly a gem.

    Quite possibly one of the best places to go for dinner on Maui. EXCEPTIONAL food at a great value, with great friendly service. NO ALCOHOL SEVERD, so BYOB. Minimal corkage fee. 5:00 to 6:00 pm offers an exceptional value "Sunset Dinner" that features a selection of starters, entree's, and desserts. As noted by others, it's tucked away off the main drag in the back of a complex, but has very nice ambiance as well as a pleasant "garden view". 808 Bistro....what a gem!

  • Tash M.

    Okay, yelpers! I am slowly learning to trust y'alls reviews--you used lo lead me astray, but so far so good! *knocks on wood* You led me here, to 808 Bistro, for breakfast... ...And, so far so good! 808 Bistro serves breakfast until 12, which was great because we woke up late but still wanted breakfast foods. As others have stated, hard to find, but if you can find 808 Deli, there are a ton of signs that lead you directly behind it. You meet a hostess table with a stack of menus next to a sign that motions to seat yourself. There's a fork next to that hostess table; to the left is a bar (assuming for the servers?) and the right is the seating area. There are about 10 tables max. It's small. And hot. It's open, and there is some wind, but absolutely no ceiling fans or a cross breeze. There is a nice little view of the water in the distance, but it's still hot. Breakfast menu is simple--great! Sometime I like not having so many options. The fiancée got the short rib omelette ($12) and I got the banana bread french toast ($9) the food came out super quick, and the ladies kept our glasses full/questions light. They were both pretty tasty! The banana bread french toast was really lightly battered and not too heavy, as a typical banana bread would be. Comes with syrup but you really don't need it! The short rob omelet was also yummy, but I felt it was "confused" ; it had carrots and cabbage like a pot roast would, but also jalapeños and sour cream, like a Mexican burrito. All in all, Good brekkie joint!

  • Brianna T.

    Breakfast is pretty much the same everywhere (eggs, toast, ham or bacon, couple varieties of pancakes and omelets) so I never expect amazing when I go out to breakfast. But the SERVICE at this place was beyond expectation. Our waiter (manager?) brought me his jacket to wear bcuz it was chilly outside, but we wanted to sit on the patio. He overheard is talking about Jaws Beach and he came over to show us videos of the waves there yesterday and gave us directions. I didn't finish my meal so he packed it all up with utensils and a box and bag for our day trip. Friendly, helpful, attentive but not hovering. Perfect. Oh, and the food was great. Had a veggie omelet, short rib omelet and, of course, their incredible (!) banana bread french toast. Yum.

  • Ryna D.

    Finally Yelp delivered! This was a great brunch spot. And the open air patio setting was lovely as you can see the ocean while you eat. Their omelettes all sounded great and I decided on the curry omelette which was fantastic. My bf had the crab cake eggs Benedict and he enjoyed it. The hash browns are done properly and while they don't have an espresso machine their coffee is really good. Everyone seems to love the banana bread French toast so we tried a piece and it was in fact yummy! Over all, good food, friendly staff, and nice atmosphere.

    Great service. A rarity during our stay on Maui. The food was excellent. We shared a bowl of corn chowder that got everything right: fresh corn, not heavy and delicious bacon on top. I had the pinko crusted seared ahi which was cooked perfectly. I could have had a tiny bit more sauce, but that's quibbling. The rice was perfect and the broccoli had a pleasant amount of garlic on it. hubs had the boneless short ribs. They were melt in your mouth great. I found the sauce a little heavy, a little too close to a bbq taste for me, but good nonetheless. Delicious mashed potatoes and garlic broccoli. We finished with the Hawaiian sweetbread bread pudding which was custards and delish, but not too sweet....which I prefer. Would definitely return.

    Incredible dinner place in Kihei We went for the prefix 5-6 sunset menu, which is $30 for an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Normally with these prefix menus the portions are a bit smaller but these portions were huge, almost a bit too much. The carrot coconut ginger soup was mouth water and the ribs were juicy and fell off the bone, not a big fan of the brownie sundae though. The environment is great, the seating is all semi-outside with spacious room between the tables so it isn't too noisy. A must go in Kihei

    Staying at the Grand Wailea, we got pretty used to bad, expensive food. That was fine with all the positives of the resort, but as for the food, this is the antidote. For the price of breakfast for one at the hotel and a five minute drive, our family of four had banana french toast (unbelievably good), eggs, bacon, hash browns, etc. it's definitely worth the escape!

    You know how sometimes you're watching tv and an ad comes on for some movie that looks absolutely terrible, but in super small print at superfast speed you see a whole bunch of "reviews" that would lead you to believe somebody found the movie "Astounding!" or "Life Changing!" so you go, and you watch the same movie, and at the end you want to punch whatever fourteen year old boy called the movie "Awesome" on Facebook because it totally Jedi Mind Tricked you out of your $8? This is not that experience. The 808 Bistro has, as of this writing, a 4.5 star rating here on Yelp with nearly 400 reviews. How did it pull off this magic trick? By being magical no doubt. The dining area is tucked away outside, next to other buildings, but because of some sparse but strategically placed plants and trees, it gives the illusion you're on some primitive rain forest floor. I felt isolated from the world in a good way and was surprised to take in the surrounding only to see other buildings so close. Weird, but pleasant optical illusion. Our server gave us just enough time to look over the breakfast menu before approaching the table. The Awesome Girlfriend and I split eggs, toast, hash browns, bacon, Portuguese sausage, Hawaiian sweet bread toast, and a house specialty--banana bread French toast. We also ordered coffee. Usually you can mix in a detail like, "we ordered coffee" and nobody cares or should care because coffee is pretty much the same wherever, except when it's not. The coffee at 808 is Maui local and one of the better cups of restaurant coffee either of us has had on the island (more impressive in her case, as she has spent decades on Maui). Breakfast was off to a promising start. The food arrived in a timely manner and was served at the right temperature (we'd had a poor experience elsewhere earlier in the day, so this was important). Everything tasted the way it should when done well. Picture one of your more positive breakfast experiences in life, be it in a restaurant or at home, and you'll know what we got at 808 Bistro. It's worth calling attention to the banana bread French toast. This breakfast item was a little bit more exotic compared to the other fare and our server mentioned it was a house specialty. There's a good reason for that. It's awesome. It paired well with the bacon and the sausage and the syrup. It maintained a pleasing texture throughout and was the perfect cap to an already great meal. If I wasn't disciplined and if calories made you smarter, I'd probably hang out all day at 808 Bistro and become a genius on the banana bread French toast, pushing myself to learn more, propelling myself on the coffee. So, even though the 14 year old kid on Facebook who is trying to tell you that the new Will Smith movie is "Paradigm Shifting" or "Medulla Oblongata Meltingly Electric!" and he's full of shit, when I tell you that 808 Bistro is a great way for you to get awesome food at reasonable prices (even if you only drink coffee and grind the banana bread French toast), I am not.

    We loved our visit here after a day on the road to Hana. Our server was great, very accommodating. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we left full and happy. The pork was a little sweet for my taste, but still delicious-- so moist and tender. The beef roast and ahi were great too, everyone cooed over their meals all evening. Will definitely be back.

    Basics: Service - excellent Ambiance - beautiful outdoor seating, shaded. Birds come to sit with you:-) Food - incredible. The focaccia egg sandwich is hands down the best breakfast sandwich ever. The short rib omelet was heavy on the meat:-) beware though, lots of jalapeños Price - reasonable ($7-15 entrees) Bottom line: comin back!!!

    Had the short rib omelet and it was great! The banana bread French toast was everything that everyone hyped it up to be. Great!

    This review is based on their breakfast only. This was the first place we went to when we were in Maui. Heard a radio ad and when we found out it was so close to where we were staying we decided to check it out. I'm so glad we did! We got there about 10:30 am and there was no wait. We sat in the shade outside and it was a great view! We split a piece of the banana bread French toast and it was so good!!! I got the egg sandwich which was huge and my husband got an omelet. The portion sizes were great for the price we paid, I actually had to take half of my sandwich home. I would absolutely recommend this place!

    I went to 808 for breakfast and had a very pleasant experience. The service was good, and the menu had a variety of dishes that would meet most tastes. I had the banana bread French toast, which was delicious! They don't have a printed kids menu, but just ask and they will accommodate. Their outdoor deck is relaxing, with lush greenery and a view of the ocean.

    Just another person raving about the breakfast and the service. The curry omelette is amazing and the wait staff is professional and friendly. Is place is worth weaving your way back to find it.

  • Neal A.

    My only complaint about 808 bistro is that we ate there the last day of our trip. Had we known, we would have had breakfast there at least 3 days out of our 7 day trip. I had the curry omelette, sounds weird, and Im not a big curry guy, but it was really good! My wife had the Short Rib omelette and she really dug it. The flavors were big and bold, the hash browns were crispy and the coffee was always full. Our server was a very cool dude, very attentive, happy and seemingly proud of the food they serve. I really liked this little place, and would go back in a heartbeat!

    It's behind Fred's and Moose McGillycuddy's. I went for breakfast at about 7:30 on a Sunday morning. Hardly anyone there but there should be. Friendly service, nice atmosphere and a simple but tasty menu. The Eggs Benedict were cooked as I requested (yolks firm) which seems to be a tall order for some chefs. Hollandaise sauce was slightly spicy, a bit of local flavor I guess. Hash browns were the burring shredded kind but well cooked. I hate a big slab if undercooked hash browns. I tried the banana bread French toast just because. It's good but I think if rather just have the banana bread and skip the syrup and egg. Next time I'm trying Fred's because they have a big omelette selection, but for a shady, cool, quiet spot for a snack 808 seems to fit the bill.

  • Chyrle Lynn S.

    20 min after we ordered we are informed they ran out of hollandaise sauce so we need to order something else. We order the another item with poached eggs....25 minutes later they come back to tell us their eggs aren't poaching today. I mean really? And no booze to at least make you forget you are starving for breakfast. What a shame. Had high hopes from all of the positive reviews. Our server was very nice. That's why it gets a star.

  • Liane R.

    Our breakfast was fantastic! We split the recommended crab cake benedict and the banana bread French toast. Our waiter was very personable and attentive. He suggested we might not want to cover the French toast in syrup so that we could take it with us for later. On the suggestion we decided it didn't need any syrup it was so good. The view, food and staff we top notch. One suggestion, if you are interested in having a Bloody Mary or mimosa, take your own liquor. They are BYOB so they have only carafes of bloody mix and orange juice for you to mix with.

  • MB V.

    We ordered their poke tacos and it was really expensive what what they served. You get 3 small tacos with about 5 ahi poke in each for $20. We also ordered their tuna melt and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't as awesome as the waiter claimed to be. We also ordered fish and chips. You get 3 thin fish with fries that were soaked with oil for $20. All and all, I had expected more food for the price you're paying.

  • Michelle F.

    Was pretty underwhelmed with this place. The breakfast options were limited. Our eggs were undercooked and the coffee was not so great. The service was abrupt and the place is pretty run down. It was nice sitting outside though and we had a peak of the ocean during our meal.

  • Philip H.

    Very nice local place in Kihei. Went here for breakfast with the family incl. a 4 and a 7 year old. Pancakes, banana bread french toast, and the foccacia egg sandwich was very much approved.

  • Jane W.

    Great service and great food. I had the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict and a slice of Banana Bread French Toast. The French Toast was amazing. The Crab Cakes had too much cream cheese for my taste but were still good. The service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely visit again.

  • Suzy S.

    A lovely hidden away location with decent coffee and wonderful banana bread french toast! My son showed up to surprise me from CA and the entire restaurant shared in my surprise. Service was warm and friendly, even when we added a couple more unexpected diners to our little table. Will make a return visit next time in Maui!

    (5)

  • Alexandra Z.

    Just had dinner here and definitely exceeded my expectations. Service was great! I had ahi with white rice and veggies. Ahi was perfectly cooked with a hint of wasabi which brought it to another level. Hubby had tenderloin which was good too according to him. The bread was also warm and delicious. I would definitely recommend everyone to try the ahi for dinner!

    Amazing breakfast. Fast and friendly service, the eggs Benedict and banana bread French toast were AMAZING, pancakes are huge and fluffy, a lot of choices for juice and good prices...Mahalo!

  • Teresa B.

    This place is a little hidden, off a plaza. there is a CAFE in front with the same name, so make sure you head around back to get to the right place. We got here for breakfast and i had their banana bread french toast and dave had their curry omelet. I really enjoyed my breakfast. Sweet but not too much. Dave liked his omelet, and it was tasty but a little too heavy for me. The server we had was very friendly and nice. it's laid back and there wasn't a lot of people, so I enjoyed the slower pace.

  • Andy M.

    Wow! This place is amazing! The food is reasonably priced, and the portions are what you'd expect. Also, the food.... is sex in food form. Okay, maybe I am overselling it, but it is damn good. They are closed during lunch hours, which is the only fault I can pin on them, which I have to do because there IS a gun to my head right now (help me). P.S. You have got to try the banana bread french toast or you will forever have a hole in your soul.

    I ordered the deeelish loco moco. As I always do, I housed it. Housed the hell outta this meal. And, yes, I bought a shirt. It's fuckin dope. Mahalo.

  • Amanda M.

    Solid place for a delicious breakfast! This charming, patio-seating restaurant might be hidden, but worth a visit (follow the signs by 808 Deli next door to find it). Seating is outdoors with a nice view of the ocean, even though you're across the street from it. My family and I came here twice during our visit, and were pleased both times. The crab cakes Benedict are really good, as well as the french toast. Only con I have is the tap water tasted like a fish tank, so please don't drink it. The place is BYOB, so if you want a mimosa or a bloody Mary, you'll have to bring your own booze too. However, they do sell Bloody Mary mixes and orange juice for the table for those who do bring their own alcohol.

  • D. K.

    Pretty standard brunch fare here at 808 Bistro. I loved the banana bread French toast. The other egg dishes were pretty standard, but nothing really stood out. Good little meal, but wouldn't seek it out again.

    Fantastic breakfast. Hidden, but worth the find. The banana bread French toast and whaler's pie were both phenomenal.

  • Mike F.

    Legalized addiction. What a great place! After two weeks on Maui it's an easy decision that this is our favourite breakfast spot, and the ONLY place that could honestly claim the best banana bread in Maui. What brought us here was the search for crabcake Benedict, which are fabulous and what brought us back 5 or 6 times during our stay......but then we tried the banana bread French toast and WOAH........it's not really French toast and it's not really banana bread, but it's legalized addiction for sure. I would call it "the best coffee cake" I've ever tasted. My kids wanted it non stop. Good service, tremendous ocean view yet shaded with lots of trees a shrubs and jungle paradise feel. Not a fancy place - shorts and sandals are fine. We went once to Kihei Cafe, and every chance we could to 808 bistro. Hope that helps your choice!!

    Went to this place on our last morning in Maui. Nice little spot, kind of hidden bit good food. The place is casual and right by the beach. I had the banana bread french toast. They were great! My husband had the eggs Benedict and thought they were ok. Rest of the food we had was the basic eggs, bacon etc. And that was good. I would recommend this place.

  • Neil M.

    Very delicious The wedge had the best lettuce to non-lettuce ratio - tons of tomatoes and onions and a bit of balsamic. Might be the best wedge I've had if it had more blue cheese crumbles. Actually it probably is the best wedge I've had. I'm pretty picky so half of the menu was out of the question for me (fish or veggie-heavy dishes, gross). I ordered the flat iron steak which was legit. It had a Gorgonzola cream and balsamic glaze. Oh and grapes. The grapes were surprisingly perfect topping. Fiancée ordered the clam linguine and enjoyed it. Coming back for breakfast.

    Not a bad spot for breakfast!! Only problem is its BYOB.. so bring your own champagne n they will serve you fresh orange juice

    First time yelp has let me down. First the good. The short ribs. They were good, a tiny portion but good. The salad just ok. We had started our salads when literally 3 minutes later out came out entrees. Apparently on Wednesday they had a wedding and the service was atrocious. The waitress apologized and gave us a free dessert but frankly it just wasn't an enjoyable relaxed dinner so we took a brownie to go. I felt like this was our one bomb of a meal on Maui Also a bunch of little kids whining... Not the pricey relaxed night I hoped for

    Well Yelpers, I trusted your advice and you have yet to steer me wrong!! My girlfriend and I came here to conclude our one week stay in Maui paradise. We had a flight to catch at 9:40pm and wanted to have one last meal to remember our trip. We called at 4pm to make reservations at 6pm (they don't open until 5 but you can call ahead of time) and were promptly seated when we arrived. The ambiance is really nice- we were seated outside, the light was dim and they had a pandora Norah jones playlist going (I asked lol). The food was really good- we ordered the linguini with clams (they give you an extra little bowl for your shells) and the daily special which was mahi mahi with a green curry sauce, jasmine rice and mixed vegetables. I also got a small Caesar salad (skip- nothing special). The portions were very generous and it came with focaccia bread. Our server was very sweet and attentive. She told us about the quirky bird who stops by on a daily basis, and asked us about our trip. We also got the bread pudding and ice cream to go (portion was super small so probably would skip that next time) and the coffee was ok. Overall a really special, romantic and cozy little place, and the customer service was great!! Definitely one of my favorites in Maui. Can't wait to return!!!

    Had the sunset menu with soup and short ribs and bread pudding for dessert. Soup had good flavor and was perfect paired with their faccacia bread. Short ribs were tender and juicy and marinade was amazing. Bread pudding was good. The Hawaiian bread and alcohol made it a little different then we've had. Service was great and we watched the sunset while we ate. Definitely best place we've eaten so far in Maui and we've been here for 8 days now.

    (5)

  • Sean K.

    Great staff! Normally I say something about the food first but the staff here was excellent. Super friendly and quick. The Banana Bread French toast is as awesome as everyone says. Two slices is almost too filling but worth having to take an early morning nap for. Will come again before vacation is over.

  • Beth K.

    Recommended by my parents, was all that they described. Nice location with partial ocean view, owner/chef is ON SITE, and great service. We ordered the Ahi and Pork tenderloin. Both were great and priced well for the excellent quality. It was an easy walk for us, but parking did not seem to be an issue. Having patronized the other restauranteurs in the center, this is easily the best. Absolutely would return on a regular basis and would love to try their breakfast. No wine or beer service so remember BYOB Enjoy!!

  • Gina B.

    Amazing atmosphere. Friendly staff and delicious food. Best decision on a place to eat since we've been here. If you want it island style this is your spot. We ordered one of everything and nothing disappointed. A not to miss spot. The crab cakes and the whale pie were to die for.

    Prompt sincere greeting, Excellent, attentive service. I had a flat iron steak glazed in a balsamic, red wine, onion and mushroom reduction with a side of Gorgonzola potato au gratin and broccoli florets sautéed in butter and garlic. Food was top notch. Place is byob and there is a corkage fee. We will definitely return when on Maui.

  • Gabby M.

    Service was great, the food was amazing, we got the short rib pot pie and the gorgonzola pasta mmm really good. Other restaurants take note: this is the way a kid's menu should be! We got the beef roast for our 2 year old...wow every restaurant kid's menu item should be this way...a big hunk of soft stewed beef with sauce, carrots, broccoli and mashed potatoes. My little one couldn't get enough! A great meal was had by all, we will be back!

    BYOB if you didn't know. Best meal I had in Maui. They have a special between 5-6pm. Had soup, chicken pasta, and dessert. It was all super yummy. Also went for breakfast and that's was just as amazing. Banana bread french toast Yikes! I could have eaten more if I was full Service both times was great. Will def come back here whenever in Maui

  • CJ R.

    After reading all the great reviews we decided to try this place for breakfast. I'm not sure what the hoopla is all about the food was average at best. There are far better places in Kihei for sure, such as Sarento's or the 5 Palms.

  • Celeste T.

    It's nice to sit outside, but walking up to the 808 bistro is walking through a really sketchy, dirty mini-mall with crooked, mismatched benches for bums to sit on and broken newspaper boxes. After that relatively surprising walk up, the restaurant itself is a nice change, but only a bit better cared-for. The floors were different heights in different sections of the restaurant, a tripping hazard and a bit ratty looking. Service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing, and with helpful descriptions of different dishes. The food itself was good, solid breakfast fare (we were there early) but not too exciting, and my benedict sauce didn't taste of lemon at all. Coffee was refilled regularly and quickly. Little birds come and pick food up from under the table, which I thought was cute, though I don't know if I would go back, honestly.

    (3)

  • Stephen S.

    The Sunset menu of appetizer, entree and dessert for $27 is a great deal. But, we would have eaten there without it. The carrot coconut ginger soup was very good. The BBQ short rids and pasta good and the Hawaiian Bread Pudding with Whisky Sauce and vanilla ice cream was a perfect ending. We also ate breakfast and the Whale Pie and Focaccia Egg Sandwich were unique and tasty.

    (4)

  • Marley R.

    Enjoyed a very great breakfast on our second day here in Maui. Fluffy pancakes. Also got the 2 eggs, hash browns and 2 bacon strips along with toast. Everything tasted great. Waiters are nice & kind. Seating is great it's covered outdoor tables. Will def be returning.

    Crab cake Benedict is a must! And you must definitely order the banana bread french toast, it's moist and one of the best we've ever had!!

  • Robbie Y.

    the open patio is awesome, but the food was just ok. We had the farmers omlet, short rib omlet, and banana bread french toast. The Omlets were just regular to me, and although the B.bread french toast was something tasty, I still only give it 3 stars...

    (3)

  • Stephanie M.

    Tucked away behind the main road, you might miss it. Don't make that mistake. Good service, no frills, BYOB. I had the banana bread French toast and eggs and Portuguese sausage. Very good. I do think the banana bread could be sliced thinner so it has more of the classic French toast egg crust but it was delicious. Husband had the crab cake eggs Benedict. Also good. We'll be back for Their sunset menu. :)

    Five star service, staff is very attentive. Food was good--wasn't mind blowing, but it was tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Short Ribs, good flavor but a bit dry. Minus one star. The mashed potatoes and broccoli were tasty. I ordered the Gorgonzola Alfredo, the flavor was right on, but I wish there were more mushrooms and onion. Minus another star. Maybe I should have added shrimp or chicken. Overall a good experience, and nice ambiance.

  • Carolyn G.

    Hubby and I were on the search for breakfast (at 11am) lol. Searched yelp and found this place. Very casual vibe, lots of locals come in here. The prices are AWESOME (don't let the two $$ trick ya). My hubby and I orders panini breakfast sandwiches and honestly... By the size of the sandwiches, we could have shared one! We were pleasantly surprised when the food came out and there was a nice side of fruit salad (fresh)! The hubby and I both agree, best breakfast sandwiches in all of Hawaii! Love the local vibe too! Not a lot of room to sit and eat, but you can if you find space... Or just take it to go!

    (5)

  • Joel B.

    Wow, all i can say is that their pancakes are great! I was very surprised on how consistent their food is. Me and my wife ate here 3 times during our trip. The turkey bacon is just as good. All the best to the chef.

    Delicious banana bread French toast. Portion is big I suggest two French toast. The sausage is delicious as well. We also had the short rib omelette which was amazing over all great experience and great food.

  • Sean W.

    We've been here a few times before and it was always good, but today I may have had the best eggs Benedict of my entire life. They were crabcakes Benny on a grilled focaccia disc, with what was without a doubt an excellent handmade hollandaise!! Do try....

    (5)

  • Paul V.

    We have eaten here at least 6 times during our visits to Maui. The food is always fresh a delicious. You bring your own wine or beer as they don't have a liquor license but this just saves you a lot on the markup. We have our next trip to Maui in 2016 and will definitely visit 808 a couple of times.

    I just returned from a fabulous vacation with my best friend, her daughter, my daughter and my parents. Needless to say it was hard to find places to eat that made everyone in our party happy, but 808 Bistro was a hands down favorite with us! I loved the atmosphere, food and the staff and owners were so nice. We went there for breakfast and dinner a number of times and were never disappointed. We loved the banana bread french toast so much that I purchased a loaf of the bread to bring home to enjoy. Definitely don't miss this gem of a restaurant!

  • Kayan H.

    Great brunch spot. Service was very chill, food was really good. Banana bread French toast - I'm not a huge fan of french toast so this was just okay to me. It was still very banana bread tasting, so if you like that then you'd probably enjoy this. Curry omelet - super delicious! Just the right amount of curry flavor with veggies and meat wrapped up in a 3 egg omelet. If you like curry I'd recommend this.

    We visited this place for dinner- service was great! Our waitress and the staff was great !The ambiance was beautiful- best clam chowder I have ever had- do not be fooled by the 808 deli which is parking lot facing & closed at the dinner hour - follow the gray walkway to the bistro- you will not be disappointed- it is a hidden gem! Enjoy!! We will definitely return to dine again on our next trip to Maui!!

    Found this little hideaway on our last day in Maui. Do yourself a favor and don't make the same mistake we did and check out 808 early as we would have eaten here every morning. Crab Eggs Benedict were delicious but the banana bread French toast is to die for. Don't leave the island without trying.

    My husband and I chose this restaurant since it was BYOB and we wanted to try something different. We heard it was a good place to celebrate and so I booked a reservation for the night of our 1 year wedding anniversary. The parking lot was really bad as the stalls were very small and compact. The restaurant is located in the rear so you have to make sure you find the right entrance. It is located in a strip mall with other restaurants nearby so it's good to know if you end up wanting to eat something else. Our waitress was great and we brought our own wine which she kept chilled at our table. The restaurant wasn't too busy and there really was no view so that was disappointing. I ordered the spaghetti with clams thinking it would be like how most restaurants are but instead it was diced up and the spaghetti was pretty spicy. It wasn't my fave meal of the entire trip and my husband's meal was just average. They offer a early dinner special but nothing on there was to our taste. Not a bad place but not our favorite either.

    We had breakfast twice here on our recent mini vacation to Maui and I ordered the short rib omelet both times. You will rarely hear me gush (check out my other reviews for a glaring absence of "gushiness"), but folks, I have to tell you, the omelet was to die for! It was so tasty and so unique; my fellow Yelpers hailing from all over the country steered me in the absolute right direction on this one. My kids had the banana bread French toast, and they said it was great, too. The nice man who served us was friendly to all of us, including the kids, joked around with us, and made us feel real welcome. The restaurant is open-air, but under a roof, so if it rains, you'll be fine and dry. It's set back from the main road running through Kihei, and is nice and quiet. 808 Deli is in the front of the building and the restaurant is around the back. Obviously, I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast!

    I heard good things from Yelp so I wanted to see what 808 Bistro was about. Our party of 8 showed up to this place at 11 am for breakfast and it was absolutely empty. I was a little weirded out because there were no customers at the restaurant but the reviews don't lie so I stayed optimistic. I got the banana bread french toast along with my plate of eggs, bacon, and fruit. The banana bread is no joke. SO DELICIOUS. Come here just for the banana bread french toast. It is a must. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. Orange juice is freshly squeezed. The service was alright (a little confusing/miscommunication) but nothing to deter me from coming back.

    Best meal we had in hawaii. The short rib was outstanding. BYOB and very reasonable prices. We will be back.

    I came here for breakfast and had a decent experience. after eating loads of rice and meat for days straight i sort of wanted a typical American breakfast. I got the two eggs, hash browns, toast and Portuguese sausage (go figure I went more Hawaiian with the meat option anyway...). the food was not bad but I wouldn't say there was anything great about it either. we ran into my cousins and they complained that the scrambled eggs were clearly the powdered kind. I later went to foodland and saw their precooked bento...the eggs looked like they were of the powdered variety as well. so i pose the question, is this just something they do in Hawaii to cut cost (eggs were definitely more expensive here than on the mainland)?

    Been here before and had great service but felt it needed a bit more time to develop. This time they hit out of the park with everything so I'm ready to give my seal of approval. The soup was a special, carrot with ginger in coconut milk - fantastic, and the panco crusted stuffed chicken, a regular item I had not tried thus far, was absolutely delicious. The above, and the fact that it's BYOB with a $5 corkage, on an island famed for having the highest prices for just about everything, makes it a must do for anybody who likes a good wine with dinner but hates paying a 300% markup and hates drinking lesser wines as a result even more. Kristen was my server on this particular visit and she couldn't have acquitted herself better if she'd been in a competition judging all the best attributes to be found in a server. Scott, a principal in the operation, only let that fact be known after I complimented the place thinking he was a busboy - can you imagine a better way of keeping a finger on the pulse of your place? I dine out a lot and 808 Bistro is now on my top 3 list of places to dine on Maui when I want to enjoy wine with my meal without choking on the tab.

    Went for breakfast. Got there early and had some omelets. I recommend the curry one super bomb, so good in fact that I forgot to take a picture. Better prices than the other places around. We had Chris as a server and after we ate he gave us directions for a whole days worth of activities and places with the best prices for rentals. Great food and service.

  • TJ C.

    Went there for breakfast. It has the trifecta: Great food, great service, great location. If you want a good ol' American breakfast: They have that. If you want to go off the beaten path: They have that too. (I had the "Veggie Browns." They were awesome. People next to us raved about the curry omelette. We had the famous banana bread French Toast as a side dish. Also delish.) This is a fantastic and close alternative to those who want a break from resort breakfasts. Highly recommended!

  • kristen n.

    This place rocks! Had the best breakfast ever here. I ordered one piece of the banana bread French toast. It was the perfect size to fill me up and not feel gross the rest of the day. Only $4! Kids split the traditional eggs Benedict and they ate every last bite. Best thing was what hubby ordered - Whale Pie. It didn't event sound that great but it was phenomenal - hash browns, ham, cheese, egg and smothered in a dark brown gravy. To die for! We were all sad when our food was gone. This place was way better than our breakfast at Kihei Caffe and it was nearly half the price.

  • Sarah L.

    It was good food and good atmosphere but I think you can get something more authentically Hawaiian, if you are traveling and that's what you are looking for. If I went back to Maui it wouldn't be one of those places I just have to see again. My three-star review is because the eggs benedict have a strange sauce on them that remind me less of hollandaise and more of mustard egg salad. The banana bread french toast was really good. Coffee is decent.

  • Dana M.

    Horrible customer service. We were a party of 5 and when we arrived the server told us he did not have room for us. Granted it was raining and they have a limited amount of seating but a friendly good morning would have been nice. He did not even offer us a wait time and turned down the party of two behind us as well. I live here and work at a nearby hotel and will no longer be sending guests to this establishment. If you are looking for a great breakfast with great service try Kihei Cafe just a little further down the road.

    Right off the bat we knew we were in for a treat at 808 Bistro. We were seated close to the patio railing and really enjoyed the scenic view to the beach and surrounding garden area. The service was fantastic. We kicked off our breakfast with some of the best coffee we have had since coming to Maui. The food was well prepared with great ingredients. The eggs were cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed their Portuguese sausage. We topped off our breakfast with the banana bread French toast... which was an excellent way to satisfy my sweet tooth. 808 Bistro looks like it will be our local regular breakfast place!

    Nice people! Banana Bread: DELICIOUS; still craving more Whale Pie: Too heavy for my taste..and the melted cheese just looked fake for some reason, but still about a 5.5/10 Short Rib Omelette: Jalapenos wooo watch out for those, very tender short rib, but lacked a little in flavor

    808 Bistro is truly a "hidden gem" in Kihei. Tucked back behind the super-overrated Fred's & Moose's restaurants, you wouldn't even notice it from the street but the atmosphere is open, tropical & very relaxing. My ohana just loves the fact that it's BYOB with no corkage fee! From start to finish, the service was excellent! Hostess was super efficient & friendly. Server was quick & very nice as well. Loved the gentleman doing all the food running, explaining each dish as he served it with a great attitude. Even the owner came over to check on us & was just genuinely concerned with how we were doing (rare these days). We were a party of six celebrating my Auntie's birthday, and the restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night. The appetizers were all fantastic! We ordered the Humboldt Fog Goat Cheese Platter, Warm Crab Dip & the Johnny Wellington lamb bites (amazing!) Good portions, too. Everyone ordered different entrees & I have to say that each one was just to die for! We all loved the menu, with different choices of foods you don't really see being served everywhere on Maui...refreshing. My husband & I both had the trio of Mahi with ratatouille & jasmine rice. All 3 preparations were fabulous with the fish cooked to perfection. My Auntie had the Alfredo pasta which was just wonderful, Mom had the pork and beans and we were all impressed with that dish. The cannelini beans with spinach & spice level of the pork was divine! My Dad had the Short Rib Pot Pie.....wow! You gotta wait a few minutes before digging into that one because it comes out HOT! Tons of flavor & a huge portions on all dishes. Since it was a birthday party we got a free Brownie Sundae that was delicious! We also ordered the Bananas Foster which we all loved as well. All the other diners in the restaurant joined us in singing "Happy Birthday" which was unexpected & fun! Seemed like the whole place was enjoying themselves, truly a great vibe all the way around. We have lived on Maui for 12 years, are foodies & always looking for new & exciting places to dine. 808 Bistro is now always in the front of my mind to recommend to anyone living on or visiting Maui! 5 stars! Mahalo for a great evening & can't wait to come back again sooner than later!

    Had my first dinner and it was a great experience. The staff is super friendly. I started with the "small" version of the chopped salad, which was great and also not very small. Decided to go off of fish for a day, so I tried the stuffed chicken breast. Quite tasty. Cozy place although the walk through the building to find the restaurant is not super pleasant. Will definitely return.

    Friendly service, tucked away with great view of greenery and beach, tasty basic breakfast food, plus banana bread French toast was an extra treat. Very reasonable prices. Quiet setting. A great way to start the day for husband's birthday. We wanted something more down to earth and homey than the big resort breakfasts or buffets.

    Great little spot. Open air seating. It's down a hallway from the parking lot past the deli. I had the curry omelette. Great taste, not spicy hot. Came with hasbrowns and toast. Coffee is good too. Enjoy.

  • Pete R.

    We just finished a tasty little meal. We took it all to go, because of prior plans, but.... We almost stayed because the atmosphere and staff were so peaceful and inviting. We just had a couple Cesar salads, so kinda hard to screw up. Nether the less, they were tasty Cesar salads and we left wanting more. We do plan on going back with the rest of our family before leaving this magical island. Only gave 4 stars because we just got a small small taste of this hard to find bistro.

  • Neal H.

    This is one our favourite restaurants in Maui. Food is consistently excellent and flavourful and the service is friendly, casual and attentive. It is BYOB with a nominal corkage. The short ribs and short ribs pot pie are favourites, but everything on the menu is great. Access it from behind Fred's Mexican, but situated with a lovely courtyard and garden with ocean views at certain tables.

  • Makena S.

    Still providing a consistently great meal! This review is for their breakfast, which is served from 7am-noon daily. I tried the much-lauded banana bread French toast this time, and wasn't sure what to expect. What I found was a dense slice (I only ordered one slice, though you can get as many as you'd like) only partially coated in the egg mixture. It was more banana bread than typical French toast, but was still good. I'm glad I only ordered the single slice, because that meant I could get the bagel and lox. Not typical island food, I know, but still well done. I was offered a plain or everything bagel (I went with the latter) which arrived lightly toasted and served with diced (!) onions and diced (!) tomatoes, capers and three slices of lox, as well as a healthy serving of cream cheese. For both, the total came to $12.50, which isn't unreasonable given usual island pricing.

    I eat at the 808 Deli quite often as it's one of my favorite places to grab lunch! I hadn't paid much attention to the bistro until a co worker told me about it....simply amazing!!! My fiancé and I will be making dinner their a regular routine!! The atmosphere is serene and tucked away in the back covered in trees!! Food was wonderful, staff was efficient, a don't miss kinda place!!

    Went here for breakfast yesterday. Nice location, cool breeze on a hot day. Eggs, hash browns and toast was good. Veggie omelet was good too. Enjoyed the yogurt parfait with fresh fruit. Highly recommend the banana bread French toast which was yummy! Prices are very reasonable.

  • Erica L.

    This was the Highlight of my trip to Maui!!! (food-wise anyway) BYOB!! i didnt know so we didnt have anything. :/ This place is kind of small, and people tend to stay a long time because its BYOB. So when we got there I thought we wouldn't have to wait very long because we were the only ones there waiting for a table!. BUT i was wrong.. we waited like half an hour? but the hostess was always updating us. There were 6 of us and they asked if it was okay to squeeze a little and we didn't care. Got to our table, and our server was really nice. They brought us bread with this butter spread that all of us found amazing! I dont know what was in there but it was good. We even had a 2nd basket! (shouldn't have though, we were sooo stuffed) anyways, the server took our order, and the host came to us with complementary crab dip because we had to wait so long for our table and that a big order went into the kitchen before ours so our entrees will take a while too. OMGG! the crab dip was REALLY GOOD. I wanted to order it but I figure it would be too much food. but WOW. so good, you really taste the crab and its not too cheesy. Entrees: Pork chop- pork was tender and really juicy, stuffing was amazing (it had some macadamia nuts in it) Mahi mahi ginger sauce- perfectly grilled, very fresh Boneless short ribs - very tender and saucy Afterwards we really wanted to try some dessert but we were totally stuffed! :/ I loved this place so much that I wanted to come back a 2nd time during our short 5 day trip to Maui!. And I usually want to try as many different things as i can while I'm visiting. Everyone says to go to Mama's fish house or whatever, I went there too but i say go to 808 BISTRO!

    We dined here on a Thursday morning and it was pretty dead but we were there pretty early. It was nice having almost the entire place to ourselves though. I had the crab cake Benedict and I had never had anything like that before and it was perfect and exactly what I was hoping it would be. My wife had the focaccia and enjoyed it. We ordered our son the banana french toast and that was amazing and oh so good.

  • Heather B.

    We went here so that we could eat and watch the ocean, but we got a seat where we couldn't see it. That was my own fault, though, for not asking. There are probably only 3-4 seats where the ocean would be visible. We both ordered off of the sunset menu, which was $25 for a 3 course meal. I got: clam chowder, good, and quite different than normal. Gorgonzola chicken Alfredo, pretty good. And a brownie sundae, which was also very good, a little rich for me, but hubby loved it. Hubby got the garden salad, and pork tenderloin which were both good. I'm used to eating cheaper fare, so the price was a bit much, but it was good food, and there was more than I could eat.

    Because I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I am accustomed to eating excellent casual cuisine made from fresh ingredients. My visit to Bistro 808 was consistent with that experience and what I was hoping I could find on Maui. The bistro does not look like much from the outside. Don't be put off. The food is excellent, and you can tell that the restaurant puts a great deal of care into the eating experience. The coffee, for example, is the best I've ever had in Hawaii. So many restaurants in the islands serve poor coffee of even Starbucks. Why? You have some of the best coffee in the world here, local. Bistro 808 seems to understand that as they served us multiple cups of freshly brewed Hawaiian coffee. Also, while the restaurant itself is not very impressive to look at, one look at their line kitchen will tell you that they're not fooling around. I had the Portuguese omelet and shared the Banana French Toast. This made for what was easily the best meal I've had at least in the last six months and really a wonderful, laid back experience. I've been to Maui four times, and I consider this among the top 5 restaurants on the island.

    They do food really well. Mashed potatoes are sooo good and I normally only like my own. I had the iron steak with balsamic reduction. Wow! Perfectly cooked. If you get there before 6 they have a great $25 3-course option.

  • Dennis S.

    I'm hesitant to give 808 Bistro 3 stars, since I definitely do not consider it "A-OK." But two stars would be a bit harsh. Boring breakfast food. I've never had a "Belgian waffle" that was as thin as a normal waffle. When I asked why they call it a Belgian waffle, the answer was "Because that's what the waffle batter bag says it is." OK, and then when you put that batter in a normal waffle iron, you get this tasteless flat dough-ball. Banana French toast was tasty, coffee was good, Portuguese sausage was fine. And service was good, aided no doubt by the fact the place was only 1/4 full. Much better alternatives for breakfast in Kihei.

  • Sara S.

    This place has GREAT coffee. Rumor has it the owner loves coffee and it shows in his choice of brew. This place is tucked away with a lovely patio, surrounded by greenery and a view of the ocean. The service was good and the food was delicious. If you are looking for a good place to get a good breakfast -- bacon, eggs, etc. -- go here. It's the best *Just Breakfast* we found in the Kihei/Wailea area. Plus, the banana bread french toast was amazing. And it's reasonably priced! Two adults, two kids for under $40 with tip.

  • Sil D.

    Loved this place!! Everyone goes to Kihei Cafe and that's ok but this place is better. Banana bread French toast is to die for! We also tried the Whale Pie. You can't come to the island and not eat here. Staff was friendly and fast!

  • Kalani C.

    Much nicer, more relaxed atmosphere than tourist magnet, Kihei Cafe. Got a seat overlooking their garden set back off South Kihei Road. We appreciated not feeling like cattle ordering your breakfast in line at Kihei Cafe: 'folks could you please scoot up to the person in front of you, no need to hold hands, but just trying to maximize space for everybody', ah really?!! We were so outta there! At 808 Bistro, I ordered their Lox & Everything bagel (4 stars) that was huge and delicious. No chincy slices of salmon here. My Friend ordered their Veggie Brown or herb omelet with hash browns (4 stars). This portion was also huge & probably best split between two people, seriously. Service was not rushed and friendly. Waiter mentioned we should stop in for drinks at the 5 Palms as he also works there. Twist my arm, don't mind if I do.

    Breakfast in Maui~ Had a nice relaxing breakfast here on our first day in Maui. The wait staff was very friendly. We sat ourselves in the patio where we can get a glimpse of the beach. the husband ordered short rib omelet and I had my usually breakfast plate with Portuguese sausage. and we also ordered french toast banana bread. It wasn't out of the ordinary. Coffee was just ordinary also.

    Food is really good, the scenery can not be beat, if your looking for that hide away feel this is it. The staff here is awesome and they really show you that welcome feel. Try the whale pie, caution though, if you try to eat it all you will need a nap.

  • R C.

    We came here from Kaanapali which took about 30mins in what I assume might have been rush hour considering it was a weekday before 9am. There was easy street parking & it is located in the backside of this not so great looking building. just follow the signs to the actual restaurant entrance. I gave it four stars * for maui. It is good, decent, normal. A few things could turn this into a really nice joint. Like raw sugar, table cloths, freshly squeezed juice, some garden renovation, better entrance, serve alcohol, maybe some hawaiian music etc. Would go back.

  • Aileen M.

    We wanted to have a breakfast somewhere other than our hotel buffet. Yelp took us to 808 bistro and we weren't disappointed. Good restaurant coffee and fast friendly service! The Portuguese sausage was great, the hash-browns were good and the breakfast sandwich on focaccia with avocado was fresh and huge. Oh and it was inexpensive!!

    (5)

  • Kathi K.

    Wonderful find. Were looking for something outside the resort area with great food. This was it!!! Outside breeze and a selection that means we will be back. It's BYOB which was an attraction as my wine loving spouse found some on his bucket list in the area. So much better than the 50% plus mark up at the resort restaurants on wine. We are going back for breakfast too.

  • Michael S.

    808 Bistro is a winner. The service we received from here was probably the best we got on the entire island during our honeymoon, and that includes much pricier establishments like Mama's Fish House. The short rib pot pie was very good - it was a nice change from the fish that we ordered almost every other night. Usually these types of dishes suffer a bit because they're prepped far in advance and heated to order... but I was really happy with mine. My wife was also happy with the ahi. I love that they do BYOB - the $5 corkage fee got us an ice bucket for beer as well as fresh chilled glasses with each new drink. We had four Mana Wheats between us - that would have cost more than $20 in most other restaurants but here it was the $1.50 per can we spent at Safeway plus the $5 corkage. A great way to save money and get the exact beverage you want. An added bonus was the great view of the sunset as well as watching a bunch of feral cats playing around in the grassy courtyard right by the seating area! The next time we come to Maui, we will definitely be back.

  • Joe E.

    We came back to 808 Bistro after discovering this place 2 years ago the last time we were in Maui. We had to come back after eating here for breakfast multiple times. We fell in love with there Short Rib Omelet dish. 5 Stars!!!! I would salivate just thinking about how good it was. On our most recent trip to the island we looked forward to our spot and when we came back to 808 it was just like before beautiful shaded outdoor seating and we were greeted by the staff and our server was super friendly. Guess what I ordered when we came back? Yep the Short Rib Omelet. But sadly I felt it wasn't the same like last time. I felt like the Short Ribs I had before were more seasoned and had an herb sour cream topping. It was still a very good omelet for sure, but just not the same. : ( I went again a couple of days later just try it again but again still missing that flavor. I would still highly recommend this place. My wife and I were staying at the Grand Wailea which is about a 5 minute drive and it beats there way overpriced Denny's caliber buffet breakfast they offer for ($70) for 2. A great option for breakfast. I'm a fan. I will definitely come back to 808 Bistro anytime I'm in Maui for Breakfast.

    Came here for brunch with a few friends. Two of the egg dishes we had were solid, nothing too special. The curry omelette however was really interesting and quite delicious; something I've never had before. Additionally, we all shared a piece of the banana bread French toast--simply divine. Forget exploring the menu. Stick with those two items and you won't be disappointed.

  • Tricia S.

    Went here for breakfast and it was excellent! Portions are large, food had lots of flavor, and we enjoyed the open air ambiance. I had the short rib omelet which had jalapeños, sour cream, cabbage and carrots. It had just enough spice! It was accompanied by a nice hash and Hawaiian sweet bread toast. Definitely recommend this place!

  • Michelle-Joyce N.

    3.5 stars because: Pros: - Friendly customer service - Banana nut bread French toast - Unpretentious setting and ambiance Cons: - Although friendly, workers can be more attentive to guests - While dishes in the menu tasted fine, nothing stood out too much (except banana nut bread French toast) to warrant a top brunch place in my book.

  • M T.

    Went for dinner: Saw the good reviews and gave it a try. TOTAL LET DOWN! Server was very friendly but absent most of the time. Long periods of time between appetizer and entrees and desert. Not a bad thing of the food is good, but it is NOT. Server said braised short ribs were their specialty so I ordered them on her suggestion. Beef had absolutely no flavor and no seasoning. Only the BBQ sauce poured over it gave it the only added flavor, and it was just ok BBQ sauce. Veggies were only broccoli and it was steamed with absolutely no other flavor, no butter, no seasoning. Other entree was the flat iron steak--also a very mediocre steak and not very enjoyable meal. I truly think a 3rd grader can cook better then this!!! I don't mind spending maui prices on a good meal but this was truly a waste of money.

    This is a great restaurant that has a BYOB policy. That makes fine dining really affordable when you don't have to buy expensive drinks all night! Kind of tucked out of the way, it is a romantic spot to take a loved one or to host an impromptu b-day party. Excellent food choices too!

    Went here for breakfast on a Wednesday. It was an adventure following the signs from the parking lot to the restaurant. We were greeted with a "grab a menu and sit anywhere you like." I got the short rib omelet. It was good. I would come again.

  • Betty N.

    **CREATIVE FUSION BRUNCH MENU - TRY THE FRENCH TOAST** BYOB. We should have thought of that when we asked for a Bloody Mary. They have a Bloody Mary Bar, but it would have been better if you bought your own vodka bottle. MUST ORDER: *BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST (2 slices $7) - Whoa. It was insanely delicious. Moist, sweet, and flavorful with every bite. Ryan ordered the short rib omelet, but he preferred the French Toast. The short rib tasted like taco seasonings. Service was a bit slow and sporadic, but the staff was friendly regardless. RECOMMEND the French Toast and BYOB.

    Great seating ( corner table ). Banana bread French toast was good, would have liked a harder crust. Portions were good, not huge. My girl had the Mahi Mahi. She said it was good, "not great".

  • Kayli D.

    My husband and I were staying right across the street so we decided to give it a try for dinner. This place is BYOB. The service was great! Very friendly staff. However, the food offered nothing special. We were disappointed that many of the menu choices were things we could find back home in Texas. The one "local" item we saw was Maui Maui. If you like short ribs or pork tenderloin this place is worth a try. Very limited seafood options. The breakfast menu looked pretty good.

    Yelp'ed 'breakfast' while staying in Wailea and this place popped up. It was one of the higher rating eateries at a reasonable price. Although the seating is open and outdoorsy, the food was good. They had unique dishes, such as short ribs omelet and Whaler's pie (hash browns topped with ham, eggs, cheese, and gravy - a twist on loco moco?). On the dinner menu, they had a short ribs pot pie which sounded interesting too. Service 5-stars, ambiance casual, food decent, no wait...oh, and don't forget to BYOB!

    They are hidden behind Moose McGilicutty but worth finding. We've had breakfast there and food and service was great. Good food at the right price.

    This place is great! The new menu kills it! Lots of selections that appeal to my taste and a friendly and professional wait staff. Very reasonably priced for such high quality and locally sourced food. I will definitely be eating here anytime I'm in Maui!

    Delicious breakfast and amazing dark coffee. Excellent service and right across from the beach made for a good walk right after breakfast. Banana French toast that can't be beat. Definitely would return!

    Actually this is 4.75 stars. My new favorite BYOB place! I have had bfast twice and dinner twice and both times it was EXCELLENT. Service was Excellent during my last visit and the specials really added to their menu! If you have not tried it take a bottle and go!

    Had breakfast this morning And everything was awesome- I had the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was to-die for and the banana bread French toast was worth the flight over by itself! The focchia breakfast sandwich was excellent! The Ambiance was quaint and quiet! Highly recommend!

    Showed up for the Sunset Menu between 5-6 pm...we were seated at a little table with a partial ocean view.Limited 3 course menu, soup or salad, my entree was the short ribs ( best I've ever had ) choice of 3 desserts , I had the brownie sundae, yum! My husband opted off the regular menu, had the best flat iron steak he'd ever had! The owner/chef checked on us and visited for quite a while. Our server Kristen, was fantastic. We are so glad we found this hidden gem in a great little setting. Looking forward to going back soon. P.S. Very reasonable $$

    My family and I went here for breakfast. It was really, really good. I'd recommend the "unusual" omelets: the Short-rib and the Curry. Both were excellent and off-the-beaten-path. My daughter had the Banana Bread French Toast. Oh man, indulgent and delicious. My wife and I were totally stealing bites from her. We were completely happy with what we ordered. Great breakfast place with a small view of the ocean. The service was pretty good and the staff very friendly. I'd recommend this place for a relaxing late morning breakfast.

    Best food I've had on my trip here. Its my last day wish I'd found it earlier! Atmosphere is fantastic, the garden is beautiful wind blowing through the trees, ocean crashing in the backround. Wish I could bring all my buddies here to kick it (plus you can BYOB). Staff super chill and friendly and don't hate on you if you come in with your surfboard and suit straight from the beach. This would be my go to spot if I lived here (if only) Banana bread french toast is no joke. Needs no syrup or butter. Fruit was fresh and delish it included honeydew, cantalope, strawberries, pineapple and watermelon.

    My friends from Wailea meet us at 808 Bistro for dinner every month or so. The food has alwys been good, although I often order the same thing, Chicken Cordon Bleu. They also allowed us to bring our own wine and charged a minimal corking fee. What really impresses us is that the owner has been there every time and greets all the guests and helps the wait staff.The owner is dedicated and makes the customers feel special. The decor is OK and the location is tucked in the back and feels a bit like you are in a wooded environment, even thought you're right off S. Kihei Rd.

  • Michelle K.

    This is a byob place with a $5 corking fee so be prepared and bring your own wine. I really liked being able to bring a bottle of wine I know I like and can buy for a better price even with the corking fee. The fresh baked bread with tropical butter was my absolute favorite part of the dinner it was unlike any bread and butter I have been served before. We also ordered the crab dip which was good. For a main dish we had the short ribs and the flat iron steak both good and reasonably priced no matter where you are. The only thing we ordered that I did not like was the bananas foster the macadamia nut were burned not toasted.

    Location/view is amazing! Views to the beach and a very lush garden. Background music were perfect for a nice comfortable and romantic breakfast. The service met our expectations. The food in itself was good. But the banana bread French toast was mind blowing.

  • Rosie W.

    Came here on a Saturday morning at 10am. No wait, barely anyone there actually. I think we beat the old folks rush and was way early for the brunch folks. Excellent service. The girl who helped us memorized our orders and recited it back to us. Love it when they can do that. I ordered the Portuguese sausage plate with scrambled eggs and Hawaiian bread. Everyone on yelp were raging about the banana bread french toast, so I ordered one slice of it on the side to share. You *have* to get it. It was so moist and delicious! I thought I'd only want a bite, but just one bite wasn't enough.

    We celebrated our 40th anniversary in Maui, have eaten at 6 other restaurants all week, and are very happy we are ending the week here with the best food and service at the 808 Bistro. From the appetizers through dessert, with seven of us pretty much sampling the whole menu, everything we had was great, from the excellent service to the final desserts. Kudos to the 808 Bistro and thanks! Rick & Debbie from Florida

    OMG. Banana Bread French Toast is a must try at Bistro 808. All other food were good, but the French Toast is all you need to know. Money well spent here. In addition, you seat yourself.

    Amazing food, excellent service, and beautiful views of the ocean. I had the focaccia breakfast sandwich (yum), my husband had eggs Benedict which was creamy and delicious, and we shared the banana bread french toast with our son which is to die for! Will definitely return!

  • Sunni A.

    I really want to give it another try because the other reviews are really promising and seem to have had a very different experience than our's. Service was great, coffee was delicious. The location is super beautiful and unique. It reminds me of a secret clubhouse. It's BYOB so they offer carafes of OJ and bloody mary mix to accompany the bottle of vodka in your purse. A nearby table brought a bottle of champagne to make mimosas. How darling! Crab-cake benedict, that sounded great! But it had fallen apart and the bread it was on was soaked by the time you got 1/4 into it. They need to use some sort of binding agent in the cake (breadcrumbs) and a bread crustier than foccacia. It had no structure or crunch. Would love the opportunity to re-review but we're not dying to go back. I think our visit was a fluke though.

  • Martina A.

    This review is long overdue. The food is delicious, the service is great, the location and view are fantastic, the prices are good, and the owner is awesome. On a visit to Maui a few years ago my boyfriend (now husband) and I went to 808 Bistro a few times and liked everything about it so much that we decided to have our wedding reception there - all of our guests loved it and we had a great experience working with everybody at 808 Bistro. My husband, family, and I have tried multiple menu items and have enjoyed everything. I recommend this restaurant to anybody eating in the Kihei area - I can't wait to go back and eat there again!

  • Young K.

    Kinda nice neat place. But my husband and I were disappointed for food. We ordered banana bread french toast and I can't remember exact name for the other. That was beef and rice with gravy sauce. Food was not too too special. Maybe I expected too much.

    Awesome service, food, coffee...... The banana bread French toast is to die for!! Will definitely be returning.

    I know that the standards are different in Maui. With that in mind, I still don't see what was to like here. Both the food and service were quite unremarkable. We found better choices elsewhere in Kihei for breakfast.

  • Christina L.

    This place is tucked away in a little shopping center. I ate at Kihei cafe twice and was drawn here by all the Yelp reviews for the banana bread french toast and short rib omelette. Those 2 items are by far the best things on their menu. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable - my family of 4 (adults) shared 3 plates: Whale Pie, Short-rib Omelette, and 3 pieces of Banana Bread French Toast. Short Rib Omelette - I think this was the star of the meal, like everyone else's opinion here. The omelette was large, the short rib was spicy and flavorful, not salty, and the veggies and cheese were perfectly balanced. The hashbrowns were crispy and delicious. The flavor was unique and not like many other omelettes I have had in the past. Banana Bread French Toast - Pretty much just like you think it would be - banana bread slices, dipped in batter and fried on each side. Probably not the healthiest for you, but tasted great with some maple syrup. I don't think I'd claim this to be the "best french toast in the world", but it was certainly unique, different, and tasty. It's probably wise to split it with other people since eating 1/3 of a loaf of banana bread is probably not the best for you. Whale Pie - Just like it sounds: hashbrowns, ham, and eggs with gravy. We got the gravy on the side, which was nice because we could control how much we put on. Nothing to really write home about, I could make this by myself at home too. They did have great hashbrowns though - just the right amount of crispiness. We all loved this place and it was a nice change from Kihei Cafe, which is right down the street. The ambiance is nice and relaxed. Definitely get the short rib omelette and banana bread toast if you come!

    A lovely spot away from the road. We had a great breakfast. Fresh orange juice. The curry omelet was delicious. Add a slice of the banana bread French toast, it's a must.

    Great spot. We had a wonderful breakfast, really well prepared, fresh and tasty. Banana bread was very good. Tucked out of the way so be on the look out for it.

    This place is a little hidden, in the back of the plaza downstairs, you will find it by looking for the black and white checkered tile floor. The sign is easy to spot on the street side, so park in the far back and follow the signs to 808 bistro! Whale pie, and banana bread french toast with a nice cold glass of POG juice does the trick and will leave you full and satisfied. The service here is great! Sit by the side for the beach view and enjoy!

    If I could rate this 3 1/2 I would. We were staying at the andaz in Wailea and came across this place through yelp. We went after Mass on a Sunday. It's a small place with an outside patio. We came for breakfast. The food was good, nothing crazy great, but a good satisfying breakfast. It gives your wallet a break which is nice. They do need to work on cleanliness, the floors were dirty and the grounds need to cleaned and maintained which is why I rated it a 3. The place is a bit hidden, it's not the deli, you walk through a path to get to the restaurant. They do not serve alcohol fyi. Service was excellent. I highly recommend the Whales Pie for breakfast.

  • Aurora D.

    We showed up just after 7am on a weekday and were unsure the place was open. We had it completely to ourselves. But Chris (the owner's brother) took excellent care of us, got us seated, waited on us himself, and gave us some good conversation, to boot. My husband had the banana bread French toast and proclaimed it excellent. I had the curry omelet, something I'd never heard of before: it was delicious and unusual, two of my favorite things. The coffee was VERY good, even on an island known for such, and was topped off so frequently I had to cut myself off before I got the jitters. The nicest surprise was my son's breakfast. He's three and tends to stick to the known quantities even when given wide choices. He ordered the granola, yogurt, fruit plate: required for all breakfast menus. But when it arrived, it contained some of the sweetest, freshest cantaloupe, pineapple, and strawberries I've ever had. Even with my delicious omelet, I was still picking fruit off his plate. I highly recommend this spot for breakfast. Good food, good service, and a fantastic outdoor dining room with an ocean view across South Kihei Road.

  • Kim D.

    This place is totally underrated. Excellent food & service. Cool outdoor garden seating. Nice night lighting. Their Pot pie is amazing. So is the crab dip, lettuce wedge salad and seared ahi.. Everything we've tried has been awesome. They are getting their liquor license soon, (the bar area looks really nice and has lots of fresh air) so that should improve business! However right now it is still BYOB, so bring your favorite bottle(s)! Only $5 corkage fee. Great option when you want to go out for a great dinner and not spend tons of $$. If you are thinking of going to Fred's you should definitely try this place instead!!

    As much as I want love everything in Maui, there were a few experiences that were subpar. This place is not all out terrible, but there's probably a reason why there was one couple before my wife and I, who left as we entered, and then a family who arrived after we left. Compared to the other busy breakfast places we went to, this place was dead. I ordered the whale pie while my wife got the fresh fruit plate. As is with most fruit plates, anything in season is delicious and anything out of season was tart. Nothing bad or amazing there. My whale pie was actually really disappointing. They start with some pretty good hash browns, and add a huge slice of ham on it, and then drown it all in a super salty gravy. The salt content of this dish was just overpowering to me, and this is from a guy who likes spam and eggs in the morning. The gravy on the ham was too much for me, and I ended up mostly just eating the hash browns. Service was actually friendly and decent, and the food came out quickly. No negative marks there. It's just that the whale pie was THAT bad.

    Great food. Great service. Mahi mahi was perfect. We also had breakfast while we were in Maui. The crab cake benedict is fabulous. The breakfast is why we came with 6 friends and everyone had a great time. Ribs, pork tenderloin, mahi mahi. What a lovely end to a Maui vacation

  • Alyssa M.

    Yay! Found my new breakfast spot in Maui :-) Leave it to me and my sis to spot the "byob" under the restaurant's sign as we were about to drive into the parking lot. In true brunch lush fashion, we continuing driving to the nearby ABC store to cop a bottle of bubbly. Yay, Mimosas! When we arrive we are greeted by a very friendly hostess. We were seated promptly and brought an ice bucket and mimosa glasses. I ordered the short rib omelette and my sis ordered the banana bread french toast. The omelet was pretty good-eggs were cooked perfectly! I'm only knocking a star off because I thought the beef could be more flavorful and moist. The hash browns and sweet hawaiian bread were delicious! The banana bread french toast was off the chain!--and I don't even like bananas, but this bread was so flavorful and moist--it's a must try! 4 stars for great service, byob, chill setting, and that banana bread french toast! This place is definitely better than the Kihei cafe next door.

    This was highly rated on Yelp and it wasn't too far from the hotel in Wailea that we were staying at, so my friends and I decided to check it out. It has outdoor seating with covering overhead. It seemed like a clean place and we had very friendly service. We ordered one piece of the banana french toast to try it out. No joke, best french toast combo I've had! The ham and egg with hash brown plate I ordered was not bad, but I seriously wish I had ordered a few more pieces of the banana french toast instead!

    My family and I had breakfast here a couple times during our recent trip to Maui and our experience was great. It's open, patio type seating with a garden feel and ocean view off in the distance. Both times we ate there, we walked right in and were quickly greeted by nice, friendly servers. We tried the Whale Pie, Crab Cakes, Banana Bread French Toast, Parfait, and the Foccacia Breakfast Sandwich. All were good, but especially awesome was the Whale Pie. That was the hands-down favorite of my entire family and we all highly recommend it. It's simple and hearty, but has great flavor. We liked it so much, our whole family was talking about how to duplicate it so we can make it for ourselves when we get back home. The crab cakes were also very good. The BB French Toast had good flavor but it is very sweet especially with syrup. If we get back to Maui, we will definitely visit the 805 Bistro again for breakfast.

    Nice little gem. It's a little hard to find - hurried in the back of a complex - but well worth it. My wife and I had the egg sandwich and banana bread french toast for breakfast, and both were fantastic. Our server was nice and quick. The patio is really fun - lots of birds chirping nearby. Food is great. Service is great. Atmosphere is great. Prices are great. 5 stars!

    This place is amazing! We came here three times during our 4 night stay in the Wailea area. Every meal was delish and I couldn't stop saying to my family that my dish was so good! This is what we had~ Dinner: Short rib Pot Pie Pork and Beans Kids shared Short Ribs Breakfast: Whaler's Pie Banana Bread French Toast Curry Omelette and Crispy Hash Bagel and Lox Breakfast: Eggs, Portugese Sausage and Hash Veggie Hash with Herb Scrambled Eggs Kids had Yogurt with Fruit and Granola Cute hidden, outdoor restaurant with view of the sunset and great service.

    Review is on dinner. My husband and I ate here on day 6 of our Maui trip after checking out Yelp reviews. We arrived half an hour before they closed so it was dark and didn't get to see the view from their outdoor seating. It's a cute smaller restaurant located off the main street in Kihei. NOTE: they do not sell alcohol but do offer BYOB and do not charge corkage fees. Entrees: Good quality and tasty with decent prices. I had the Flat Iron Steak ($22) with the balsamic reduction preparation (balsamic cooked with onions and mushrooms-sweet and savory flavor) and husband had Boneless short ribs ($19). Steak arrived perfectly medium rare as I ordered which came with a side of blue cheese au gratin potatoes and veggies, the short ribs came with garlic mashed potatoes and veggies. Both tender, delicious and meat portions were larger. Dessert: MUST try the Lava Bar. Warm brownie topped with coconut flakes, toasted macadamia nuts drizzled with caramel and chocolate fudge with a scoop of chocolate ice cream and whipped cream-what's not to like..it was amazing! Service: Good. Very attentive and food came out quickly. Great place to try out if you want a break from hawaiian food. Best part is that they gave us a coupon for free banana bread french toast. I def want to be back for breakfast.

  • Tyler V.

    The great reviews proved right! Banana Nut French toast was amazing! My wife ordered the short rib omelette and I ordered the whales pie. Both great dishes and was amazed at the size portion. Great meal to start the day to fill you up and start on your daily activities in Maui. Fast and friendly service and I will be back again!

  • Jim H.

    This place is great for breakfast. With all the overpriced options in Maui this place was a welcomed treat. Outdoor seating and BYOB exceeded my expectations (There is something very fulfilling about bring your own alcohol to a restaurant in Maui) . Two words "WHALE PIE". You wont regret it.

    (5)

  • Mark B.

    My wife and I are in Maui for our honeymoon. Looked up Yelp and checked out 808 Bistro. Called ahead for reservations. Ordered the short rib pot pie and the flat iron steak. Now I've been to a lot of steak houses including some 5star ones in Las Vegas, this by far has the best steak I have EVER had. Ohhh and the "bring your own beverage" ByOb was definitely a plus!!! We even exchanged wines with some of the other guests who came with their own beverages.

  • Lori B.

    Came here for breakfast. Sat on the patio which has a slight view of the ocean. Ordered banana bread French toast and focaccia bread egg sandwich with ham and extra crispy hash browns. Both were delicious!!! Tasted better than the hotel food and much less expensive.

    (5)

  • Nathan M.

    Simply wonderful! I had the pork and beans and it had an explosion of taste in my mouth. I also tried the braised short ribs with mash potatoes which were super moist and tender with a great taste. If your feeling like you need more go for the Brownie Sunday because it's just the right size! The environment was quite, quaint and was across the street from the ocean thus you could see/hear the waves crashing while you enjoyed your meal. Everyone that worked here was super friendly and helpful!

  • Doreen B.

    I think if I had a heart attack while eating that heavenly rich crab dip, it would've been ok with me on that lanai facing the Kihei sunset. I only say that because that's how decadent that dip was. There had to have been 1/2 lb. of crab meat in that ramekin. Mostly crab, so I think they should call it shelled crab with a light sauce on top. Truly decadent - so heavenly. I had the short ribs and hubby had the flat iron steak. Both were cooked to perfection with meat so tender, I'm unsure of why they even had knives on the table. The keiki had the roast butternut squash soup (which she wouldn't share a bite of so we know it was really good), and pasta from the keiki menu. The view and ambiance were gorgeous. The chef also has a small herb garden for fresh garnish etc, surrounding the lanai. Few tips for coming here: $25 - 3 course Sunset Dinners by reservation between 430-630 BYOB as most places are You can't go wrong with anything short ribs here. pot pie or entree. Call ahead for a reservation! Build your own Blood Mary Bar!!! You provide the alcohol of course.

    It was pricey and the food was only ok. for what we ordered, i could have been cheaper. my penne fettuccine alfredo was $15 to begin with, additional $5 for chicken, $8 for shrimp and $4 for veggies??? yes, you can see a bit of the sunset if that's what you're looking for. but the view from the restaurant really didn't blow my skirt up.

  • Dayle T.

    Had a nice dinner here with my wife. I had the short ribs, which was part of the 5-6pm earlybird special ($25) which included mashed potatoes and sauted veggies (but I opted for all vegies). For my wife, she had mahi smothered in garlic (special order which the chef gladly fulfilled), jasmine rice, and sauted veggies. For a starter, we had the crab dip with pieces of fancy toast. For dessert, we opted for rasberry sorbet. A filling, wonderful meal with friendly service in a quaint, rustic setting. 808 Bistro takes a bit of perseverance to find, for its roadfront sign is overshadowed a bit by Fred's Mexican Cafe sign but you can find it by turning into the parking lot, and heading mauka (inland) until the lot curves to the right. At that point, look for a sign pointing to 808 Bistro, take the stairs down, turn left at the bottom, and you're there.

  • Sara M.

    Food was awesome. I had basic breakfast (eggs, hash browns, etc), but it was still great. Get the banana bread french toast if you go - one piece will do just fine. Four stars would've been five, but the service was a bit slow.'

  • Olivia D.

    We wanted to try someplace different for breakfast on our last day on Maui, so we searched Yelp and came up with 808 Bistro. Nowhere on Yelp did I read about the great atmosphere. From the outside, it just looks like another building in a strip mall, but we were seated on a lanai overlooking a garden with birds chirping and the works. It was great. My sweetie and I shared the banana bread French toast and the curry omelette. We both have to have something savory to offset sweet items at breakfast. The curry omelette did the trick. The omelette, filled with Portuguese sausage, onions and peppers, was very tasty, but excessively oily. As soon as I cut into it with my fork, yellow, curry-scented oil started oozing out. I was glad we were sharing it and therefore ruining our cholesterol levels together. The banana bread French toast was decadent and tasty, but not very French-toasty. I didn't eat much of it (on purpose, since he seemed to really be enjoying it and I felt like he should bear the brunt of the caloric burden ;-P) but it was more like a slice of banana bread that was pan fried in butter and lightly glazed. It was good because it wasn't too sweet. My honey loved how the middle of the bread was so moist and soft. The breakfast menu here is small, but it has the basics and does the trick. We thought it was a hidden gem for the relaxing outdoorsy atmosphere and good food.

    I never would have known this place existed! We were planning on going to Fred's for tacos with my family (2 adults/3 keikis) and my brother and his wife. Hour and a half wait at Freds for Tacos so we walked down the hall to this little gem. It was totally empty (it was 5pm after all). We were seated and ordered crab dip (so ono!) and hubby got the flat iron steak, I got the short ribs, and kids got something off the kids menu. They got it right by sending the kids food out first (bonus points!) - I am always thrilled when restaurants do that. Everything was REALLY GOOD. My short ribs were totally amazing. Hubby said his steak was really good too. Service was good, food was great - glad we ran into this spot!

    WAITRESS: "Here's some water...did you have any questions about the menu?" CHUN P: "Yes, I'm starving! Which is heartier and bigger...the $18 Short Ribs or the $16 Short Rib Pot Pie?" WAITRESS: "Definitely the Pot Pie...NO ONE ever finishes it! CHUN P: "Well, then I'll have the Pot Pie and tip you the extra $2 for being honest." About 20 minutes, several pieces of foccacia, and a delicious cup of Cream of Califlower Soup later... OWNER: "Here is your Pot Pie...good luck with that!" CHUN P: "I'm up for a challenge!" 20 more minutes and many NOM! NOM! NOM!s later... OWNER, staring at the empty bowl: "Sweet Jesus! We've never seen anyone do that before..." CHUN P: "Do I get a prize? Also I'd like to see any dessert menu please." Warning kids, don't try this at home. Your Uncle CHUN P is gifted with a magical high speed metabolism...95% of you will probably be constipated for the rest of your Maui vacation. **************************************************­**************************************************­******************* Due to an unforseen $1457 vet bill a month before our vacation, the wife and I had to be conservative with our spending in Maui, so this is the only fancy schmancy dinner we did, and we were both glad it was here! Several restaurants in Kihei, Maui are BOYB with NO CORKERAGE FEE! Yeah, its pretty fucking awesome. Well, we didn't know what we were ordering tonight, so I brought two $6 wine bottles with us, a red and a white, from the nearby ABC Store. The staff was so friendly about it and even brought out a free standing ice bucket for the white. Great service, lovely ambiance, and delicious food without emptying your wallet. If you can do only one nice dinner in Maui...try 808 Bistro :)

    The restaurant is located behind the 808 bistro sandwich shop out front. Make sure you walk around to the back, because they have outside seating where you can watch people wake board and water ski. This was close to our condo, so it was a great brunch stop before we went on our journey for the day. Had the Whale Pie, short rib omelet and banana bread french toast. The whale pie was a bit over hyped, it was just a large bed of hash brown with a piece of ham on top. The omelet was just a regular egg omelet that I can get back in Cali, so this was my least favorite. Best part , was the banana bread french toast. 808 Bistro actually served the best toast I've had on the island. Def recommend coming for that.

    Not sure what all the hype is about this place. The breakfast menu was ok - very limited selection (don't come here expecting pancakes and waffles - there aren't any), and food wasn't 4 star blow me away as the reviews would suggest. It's better than a $30 hotel breakfast buffet, but nothing to write home about. Meh.

    What a great place. We came to this place because one of my friends recommended. The entrance is kind of hidden and limited parking. There is not much ambience. The food was fantastic...just like homemade and fresh. The Orange juice was fresh and delightful. We loved Portugese Suasage and their Egg sandwich was tasty. Banana bread french tast was decent. All this good food for a very reasonable price which is like an icing on the cake. Will highly recommend this place.

    After snorkeling Palauea Beach (White Point), checking out the Baldwin Home, the Wotting Museum, shopping and sightseeing in Lahaina, and an impromptu Power 1 Vinyasa on the beach, Chun P. and I were starving! We cleaned up into our island chic clothes and headed out to 808 Bistro (like the other reviews note, not to be mixed up with 808 Deli). The service and quality of food were absolutely fantastic. Hubby loved the cream of cauliflower soup, I had the mixed greens to start. When Chun P. asked the waitress if the short rib pot pie was hearty, she said it was the heartiest item on the menu and very rarely did people ever even finish it. So of course he ordered it. At this point I was pretty weighed down from meaty lunches at Da Kitchen so I opted for the vegetarian polenta lasagna, ordered light on the cheese. Both entrees were scrumptious! Chun P. ate every last delicious morsel of the short rib pot pie, and the owner and waiters all had to come over to check out the empty serving bowl. All were impressed when he asked, "can I see a dessert menu?" and promptly ordered a homemade brownie with vanilla gelato. Another big plus of this restaurant is that it features BYOB with no corkage charge. Wait staff were more than happy to grab a champagne bucket topped off with ice for a nice bottle of chilled white and Chun P. also brought a red for a tasting pairing to complement the short rib pot pie. All around a delightful experience. Excellent fine dining with a cool breeze and gorgeous ocean view!

    Staff and ambiance was nice. Chris was our waiter, very personable and likable. Had their breakfast, curry omelette and banana bread french toast. Both were OK. Good portions. Nothing spectacular, but tasty. Didn't realize that it was a bring your own alcohol. Kinda bummed when I couldn't get a mimosa, but I now realize that it says BYOB on the signage.

    Now that I've gotten the bad food out of the way, I can start reminisce the good food that made my vacation pleasurable. 808 was one of such restaurant. I only wish I had come here more often instead of the other bad ones! We came here for breakfast on our second day. Our sever was very friendly. I don't think I met anyone on the island that wasn't. Everyone greeted us with 'Aloha' everywhere; strangers on the street, in the store, etc! The menu wasn't very big. My son ordered the usual 2 Eggs with Ham and Hash Brown. My fiance and I ordered the Curry Omelet. OMG, I never even thought to use curry in omelet! It was sooooo good! (I will try this when I make my own omelet next time). yelp.com/biz_photos/xBij… . The curry wasn't over powering, but gave it so much flavor! You must try this if you visit here! We also ordered 2 pieces of Banana Bread French Toast. Who would have thought to make french toast with banana bread? Once again, it was delicious! yelp.com/biz_photos/xBij… I highly recommend this place if you're visiting Kihei and Wailea area of Maui. Excellent food at very reasonable price. They also offer early sunset dinner special if you can make it. If I ever return to Maui, I will definitely dine here again!

    I love going t 808 Bistro for both Breakfast and Dinner. There is a small view of the ocean, and it is cute inside, with terrace seating. However it is all about the food. The Pot Pies are really good. Their reputation is good food at great prices!

  • Michael H.

    I'm glad I found this place. We had the banana bread french toast and whale pie. The french toast was great. I hate bananas and I loved the banana bread. The whale pie was excellent also. The hash browns were nice and crispy. Our server was also friendly and attentive. When I am back in Maui, I'm going to 808 again.

  • Kristen M.

    Delicious breakfast spot. The banana bread French toast was to die for. Had the focaccia sandwich which was unique and great...tho i'd request an extra egg. Put the hash browns ON the sandwich for good measure! My husband had the short rib omelet. A strange combination but it works. Was generous on the short rib!

  • Caroline L.

    Great service- waitress very attentive and accommodating. I found the food mediocre. My short rib pot pie was very salty though my dining partner enjoyed the fish entree. So salty that I was not able to finish my entree. I told the waitress and it was taken off the bill and we were also offered free dessert. No real view here either since the beach is past the grass patch and across the street.

    Came here for dinner tonight and was VERY impressed! We arrived and were quoted a 15 min wait. They offered to open out bottle of wine while we waited which I thought was nice. (BYOB place) We were seated shortly after and attended to by every staff member on the floor. The bread and butter was delish! Followed by a caesar salad, stuffed chicken with garlic mash for me and a steak with blue cheese crust for my date. It was AMAZING! And at $20 a plate i wasn't upset because the food was quality and the portions were large. We left with a smile and will enjoy the leftovers in our breakfast tomorrow :)

  • Malyssa C.

    2.5 stars. Banana Bread French Toast was good and the outdoor seating was pretty like most reviews have said. But the bf and I just weren't that impressed. We also ordered the Short Rib Omelet, which was really not as great as everyone raves. As the review by Betty N. says, it tasted exactly like taco seasoning. Not a good thing in this case. It was also topped with herb sour cream which was really watery. I tried scraping it off but I wasn't very successful since it had already seeped into the creases of my omelet, so I ended up not finishing my dish. Nothing was very memorable in my opinion. I could see why this place might be nice for dinner, given the nice view and BYOB option. However, we don't plan on coming back based on our first experience.

  • Greg N.

    After all the wonderful reviews on Yelp, I was a little disappointed with my dinner experience at 808 Bistro. It wasn't bad, it just doesn't deserve 4.5 stars. I had the 808 pork chops; they were tasty, but not spectacular. For a better dinner in the Kihei/Wailea area, try MonkeyPod. Pricier, but well worth it.

    Omg, Ahi trio = amazing! Hard to find the first time and don't be fooled by the 808 deli, the short walk down the corridor is quite rewarding ( a la no Kihei Rd traffic noise and some decent views of Kamale Beach II). Great place for people with whole food / non-process dietary considerations. Yummy veggie sides + great fish / protein entrees. Hot Tip: Restaurant is BYOB and ABC Store (2 blocks away) carries phenomenal 90+ point wine spectator wines (i.e. Silver Oak, Molly Dooker, Ed Wright, etc). Superb for date night!

    Came here on our first trip to Maui for some breakfast. The atmosphere and ambience are great--we were seated at a table with an awesome view of Kamaole beach. It's behind Fred's Mexican Cafe and Moose McGillycuddy's so there isn't a lot of noise from the foot and vehicular traffic which is great when you're just waking up :). Service was also great--the waiters were really friendly. The biggest downside was the food, actually. While it was good--the portions were so small for the prize. My hubby got the mango chutney pork chops and his chop could be consumed in three bites. For those that don't like a heavy breakfast that works but I think even in that situation $15 for something so small is just ridiculous. It was the same situation for our friend's Mahi Mahi--the fish looked more like a sardine filet! Plus, their drink options are pretty limited and it's BYOB--while it's nice that you can do that, it would be great to have alcoholic beverage options (i.e.: mimosas) for those who are going there for the first time and don't necessarily know. That said, the banana bread French toast was heavenly. I liked the food well enough but I'd definitely think twice about visiting again. Perhaps just to get the French toast--to go!

    Their breakfast egg sandwiches really hit the spot. Good portion size and piping hot. Would've liked coffee drinks on the menu, though. Don't be confused by the conflicting signs: one says 808 Bistro, the other says 808 Deli.

  • Nancy Y.

    808 Bistro may be hard to find since it's kind of tucked away behind the sandwich shop, but once you see 808 Deli you know you're close! Parking: Free in the parking lot!! Food: You MUST and I mean MUST!!!!!!!!!!! get the Banana Bread French Toast. Seriously, one of the best french toasts I've had on the planet. I am a hard core french toast fan. Breakfast is my favorite meal of all time and every time I go out, I ALWAYS order the french toast, so I've eaten alot of french toast in my 27 years of existence and I can pretty much claim I am an expert. 808's french toast is extremely soft, moist and perfectly sweetened. You can literally taste the aroma of the banana's lifting itself up from the actual bread and onto the taste buds. It doesn't even need syrup to be honest. It was fresh and just insanely good. MUST TRY!!! $$: Easy on the wallet

    Wow wow!!! Best banana bread I have ever had! And it was made into French toast! So moist and flavorful I didn't put anything on it except butter. My husband got the Whales Pie and liked that too. Love the patio atmosphere. Yummy!

    Ok. I was in Maui for four days and ate here every morning for breakfast. The best thing about the place was our server Chris. He was funny, friendly and laid back. People like that make me want to move to Maui. The food - I had the Veggie Hash Browns with eggs three of the days with one slice of the Banana Bread French Toast. The veggie has browns were simple and the veggies were not over cooked. They were not greasy at all. With a little hot sauce they were the perfect hangover breakfast. The banana bread french toast was so light and fluffy. Fantastic! With coconut syrup this would have been the bomb. I also tried the curry omelet. This too was really good and different. The coffee was prefect, the earthy kind you only get in Hawaii. One of my favorite things was the fact that you can bring your own alcohol to accompany your meal. I brought vodka for breakfast for which Chris gave us some bloody marry mix. That set me right for more cocktails later in the day. The outdoor seating is quaint and peaceful with a peak-a-boo view of the ocean. We saw many of the same guests there on each visit, so we were not alone in digging this place.

    Breakfast: we were early at around 8:30am so got the seats right away. Everything was great. but our favorite was the Amazing Focaccia bread egg sandwich... Must try. The Mahi Mahi for breakfast was fresh. We also got the banana bread French toast to go, which turned out good too. Must try place of you around this area :)

  • Lulu T.

    Short Rib Omelet was very unique and tasty. The marinated pulled pork and vegetables are a great combination. Banana bread french toast was unfortunately only OK. We read a lot about it on Yelp but were a bit disappointed. It was too sweet and didn't have enough texture. I guess we are more accustomed to the texture and flavors or Brioche french toast. Bagel & Lox were good. The bagel had good texture and density as is expected from a yummy bagel. Service is friendly and dining area on the patio is clean and comfortable.

    We found the 808 Bistro on our last trip and decided we'd come back on out next trip. Since it is walking distance for where we were staying it made for a very easy final dinner in Maui. Nice local place, decent food and we all had a good time. Great to find a place that isn't a sports bar! Portions were certainly big enough for us. Brought our own wine as recommended when we called. I had the ahi tuna which was great although I could have stood a little more wasabi on it. Nothing fancy here. Just one vegetable with the meal but all was prepared well. We came back on our final morning to try the banana bread French toast and it was great! We'll be back.

    I should have listened to the reviews and had breakfast here instead. Despite its fantastic location, nice atmosphere (if you ignore the fact that 50% of the strung up twinkle lights were burned out) and being BOYB (love this), dinner was just "okay." My husband and I split the Caribbean Mahi Mahi. Presentation was lacking, but it was cooked well and seasoned in a jerk rub, and covered in a tasty pineapple and tomato salsa. The owner came by to say hello and make sure we were enjoying ourselves. We complemented him on his jerk rub - my husband asked, "is that cinnamon I taste?" The owner admitted that he wasn't sure what was in the rub, but he could bring us the bottle it came from to see... My heart sank. Even I make my own jerk seasoning. Service overall was great. Our waitress was kind and knowledgeable. I'm really glad we made reservations. The place filed up fast, and when we left, there were at least 3 parties waiting to be seated. I definitely plan to return the next time I'm in Maui... To try their breakfast.

    Excellent place for breakfast! The service was friendly and attentive and the food was great. We shared a short rib omelette with hash browns and banana bread french roast. Make sure to get Cholula sauce for the omelette. Both items were excellent and we finished our plates. Free refills on coffee or tea! Prices are reasonable for the quality and amount of food that you get. Highly recommended!!

  • Kim W.

    This place is a little hidden in the complex and you'll need to walk to the back to find it. The breakfast is quite a delicious option here and it's not overly crowded. I had the banana bread french toast which was literally banana bread with egg on it. What a different way to eat banana bread and I really enjoyed it. We also ordered the crab cake benedict which was equally delicious and the side of hash especially so. Highly recommend this for a good brunch in Kihei!

  • Dusty B.

    I went back for dinner. And, it was pretty good. I had a salad with a side of shrimps. The shrimps were kind of cold. But, overall, it was acceptable. There menu is very limited. And, if you don't eat red meat, you'll have very few choices. Oh, we also had a smoked salmon tart. And, it was really tasty.

  • Andrew L.

    This was really, really good - probably deserving of 4.5 stars Best part, they have no liquor licence (yet), so as of now, its not just an option to BYOB - its the ONLY way to get a beer, or wine! We brought two bottles each of the three times we went there - obviously this saves you a LOT of money right off the bat! A $20 bottle of wine would be $40-$50 at any restaurant. You feel like a bit of a nut carrying your own wine to the check in stand, but EVERYBODY is doing it! Secondly, the food. We ate there three times in 2 weeks - Nuff Said? LOL Have the soup - whatever it is - it was AWESOME - best I've ever had. Mushroom, and Clam Chowder - waitress was over the moon about curried carrot and ginger - but its different every day. I'm a big fish fan - loved the Mahi Mahi - had the spicy one, another diner had the orange one - we both loved it. Next time had the Pork Chops - twice - not the pork and beans thing or the pork pot pie - just the pork chops, with stuffing, great sauce - REALLY good maybe 4.75 stars? Lastly, the sunset - if you're there early - they open around 5:30 and get busy about 7ish - and you get a table near the railing, or facing the ocean edge of the restaurant - I'll have to dig up the pics we took - absolutely gorgeous! Service, mangement, everyone was great. Did I mention that the prices for main courses were in the $17-$20 range? If you're in Kihei, pop in NOW, before they jack up the prices and make you pay for the wine and drinks!

    Good spot for breakfast. We really like their banana bread French toast, as many have noted. Other food is pretty good too and their service is friendly and pretty quick. They are pretty laid back there but come off as slow to me. We have been in Maui for a week now and we have been here two times for breakfast. It will be a regular stop for us any time we return to Maui.

  • Yeelin T.

    We stopped by on our first evening in Maui based on a friend's recommendation and Yelp's reviews. We got the short ribs and the trio of fish sampler. The short ribs were tender, falling apart (exactly how we liked it), and it had a great sauce drizzled on top. The sauce was sometimes a bit overpowering, so you have to be careful how much you had with the short ribs. The trio of fish was good. We enjoyed the Caribbean-spiced one the best. It had an excellent salsa to go with it. On our last day, we decided to check out the breakfast menu here. We ordered two slices of the banana bread french toast and the curry omelet. The french toast was definitely unusual. The banana bread was very heavy and it didn't soak up the egg very well, so it wasn't very frenchtoast-like in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, it was good banana bread, just not very good french toast. The curry omelet consisted primarily of Portugese sausage and onions. The onions were excellent. There's just something really good about Maui onions. They are very sweet and aromatic. The omelet as a whole though was just OK. Nothing to write home about. Dinner: 4 stars Breakfast: 3 stars

    This place is a hidden gem. 5 stars for food, service, atmosphere, and if I could add an additional star for the BYOB, I would! Me and the wife grabbed a bottle of champagne and headed over for breakfast. A super-friendly southern gentleman greeted and seated us on the lovely shaded patio, which was adorned with plentiful tropical plants and trees. Through the foliage was a good view of the water. It's a wonderful, quiet casual setting, but with a smidge of elegance. He promptly scored a nice ice-bucket for the champagne, and mixed our first round of mimosas. He spoiled us by mixing our refills several times. I had the short-rib omelette, which was fresh and delicious. The rib meat was super-tender. My wife had the eggs and bacon-she said they were mucho tasty. The plate sizes are substantial. The manager and the waiter provided excellent, friendly service. So, two full-size plates of fresh-made breakfast, $2.75 for the o.j. to make our endless mimosas, ZERO corking fee, equals a breakfast bill of.........$25.50! We've payed substantially more than that for a substantially less pleasing experience at several places in Kihei. This place is a GEM!

    This place is a totally tucked away with awesome awesome service and the food just rocks. I had ribs and it was so soft it melted in my mouth...My salad and the dressing was sooo good I practically licked my plate. It was a casual setting and you can bring your own bottles of wine/ champagne, etc., etc. Just great food, and just around the corner located in Kihei.

    Right after stepping off the plane and getting lei'd at the airport, we began our honeymoon here at 808 Bistro with whale pie. Whale pie is hash browns, ham, egg, and cheese smothered in brown gravy. This is where I discovered that (A) Hawaii puts gravy on lots of stuff and (B) gravy makes everything automatically delicious. The restaurant is, unfortunately, not on the beach, but we got to eat outside. The menu was kind of limiting, but my *new word alert* husband had the short rib omelette and it was tasty. It was a nice time, but wasn't exciting enough for me to want to come back on my vacation.

    (3)

  • Scott R.

    I recently visited 808 Bistro as part of a group of 11 for dinner. We were seated right away (had reservation) and servers/staff were extremely nice and accommodating. We brought our own wine as recommended by other reviews, but am not sure if corkage fee was applied or not. I had a Ceasar salad start, and spareribs/mashed potatoes entré which was excellent. Others in our group enjoyed their food as well, though one or two dishes were perhaps a small bit lacking in flavor -- nothing major that I heard. The only reason for 1 star less than 5 is one diner had to return a shrimp salad as the shrimp was undercooked, but the staff was happy to accommodate. If I could apply an extra 3/4 star to 808, it would be because of the following. Our large party had come on a Sunday night, near closing, so it might be expected that our group would be rushed to finish. Not only did we receive no pressure to leave, but the proprietor came to our table when we were deciding whether or not to order dessert, and generously offered some plates on the house. We were happily shocked when the staff came out with MULTIPLE SERVINGS of their most popular treats! There was enough that everyone in our group received a generous sampling of their dessert dishes, which were fantastic. Big kudos to the staff and owner for giving us such an enjoyable experience. When we find ourselves back in our Maui, we will DEFINITELY visit 808 again.

    Why anyone would not give this place five stars is beyond me. We stumbled upon this place on yelp and after reading the reviews I called Spago and cancelled our reservations and we came here instead. We were so happy we made that decision! One of the main reasons is the menu sounded great AND BYOB! We travel with our wines and having never been to Maui didn't realize that places here cannot charge corkage - so guess what? They won't let you bring in your own wine! What a disappointment for us. Enter Bistro 808 - as others have noted - BYOB...or not and get sodas there. The folks here are super friendly and helpful. The food is outstanding: DO NOT MISS THE LAMB WELLINGTON...OMG. good. no... Great... yes... great. We got to meet the owner, Mitch, a really nice guy! He really cares about his patrons and makes sure to ask if everything is good etc. So great to know we are supporting local folks who care. We will be back when in Maui! We love this place. Note: they just started serving breakfast and they have a "make your own bloody mary bar" BYOB of course! :)

    Charming bistro on the main strip in Kihei. Known for breakfast but we went for dinner. One of the best things about this place: BYOB and no corkage fee. Fantastic. Second: service is very good. We had a couple of friends in the dinner party who had to leave early to catch an evening flight and the staff seamlessly worked to get those orders out first. Third: the food is really good! The cordon bleu was tasty but the short ribs and steak were even better. Wish I could have checked this place out for its famous banana french toast but I'm sure this will be at the top of my list if I ever return to Maui.

    The banana bread french toast was fun and tasty. Wife got the fruit which looked like all rind - not sure if this was intentional, but wasn't well received. Very fun menu, there are several other things that I wish I could have ordered. Remember to BYOB, that definitely makes the experience!

    We took some friends with us to your establishment tonight and it was great! The Staff were friendly and attentive, we didn't have to wait for anything.

  • Michelle S.

    What an absolute find! Hidden away in a little corner of a building, this open and tropical beauty unveils herself. We were greeted with a beautifully smiling hostess and seated at a table that had an enchanting view of the sunset. The menu offered an array of descriptive foods....I chose the penne with gorgonzola cream sauce topped with a broiled mahi mahi filet. It was sinfully delicious. This meal is certainly one of those dishes where ignorance is bliss~ I'm sure I covered my calorie count for the week with that one but the flavors were amazing. They do not serve alcohol but you are welcome to BYOB, which, IMO, is just perfect. You drink exactly what you like. I can't wait to go back and try another dish!

    I would give a 4.5 Breakfast was excellent! We split the flat iron steak and eggs and banana bread French toast. French toast was awesome! Steak was cooked exactly as ordered and so were the eggs. Really great flavor. Waitstaff were attentive. Pleasant atmosphere. Things that could be better: sweet bread was ok not good. They provide a little packet of strawberry or grape jam. Since everything else was so good they could have stepped up on the jam. How about a fresh lilikoi or other Hawaiian spread?

    We have been to Maui a couple times since it opened and we always end up coming here multiple nights. Everything on the menu is wonderful and we love the BYOB with no corkage fee. We've been for breakfast as well but dinner is the most memorable for us. Our biggest challenge is deciding what to have. The short ribs, pot pie, cordon bleu and pork chops are all favourites, though we loved the gorgonzola alfredo and flat iron steak too. Seriously, just go.

    I had a chance to check out this place for breakfast on my last day in Maui. Found this on yelp and decided to check it out due to the good reviews. We ordered one slice of the banana bread French Toast which I really liked along with the curry omelette. Both entrees were very tasty. I love yellow curry which was the type of curry found inside the omelette. We went early because we were on a time crunch but it worked out well because we were the first ones there and had a magnificent view of the ocean. I will definitely make this a pit stop on my next trip back.

    Had a great dinner here. Beat the pants off of sarentos on the beach for much less money! My fish was perfect with tropical salsa and ginger glaze. Hubby's chic cordon bleu was great too. Location is quaint. Reminded me off a bistro in Italy. Garden setting. Nice wait staff. Wish we had time to go back. Highly recommend.

  • Suzanne B.

    We went here for breakfast. I ordered the bagel with lox, 1 slice of banana bread pudding french toast, and my husband had the curry omelet. I was kind of bummed that I had to assemble my lox bagel myself. All the ingredients were laid out on the plate, and I had to do all the work. I was kinda disappointed by the french toast because I love banana bread pudding. It was just banana bread used to make french toast. The word "pudding" put a different expectation in my head. My husband did really enjoy the curry omelet. We like different to try different foods, and this was just that. Unfortunately, I didn't try it, so I can't really tell you what I think. The waitress was a little out of it, I think. I asked for a side of hashbrowns, and she came back a couple minutes later asking if we needed anything else. I thought she meant anything in addition to the hashbrowns, but the hashbrowns never came, so I think she forgot what I asked for. Anyway, it was fine. Nothing spectacular, but I would be willing to come back and try other things on the menu.

    Had dinner here with my family, the view was great, the ambience was great, even the bread was great, my fish was great but the general consensus from the rest of the group was that their food was just okay....The location would have been great except I had stepped on a bee that morning, my foot swelled up like a balloon and I could not walk. I had crutches...We had to park across the street, (this was a very busy area). The cars whizzed by as my family kept saying, "OOOK GO!" I Hobbled and tripped over myself and my crutches to the other side of the street, and finally made it.....to a set of stairs...-___- of course. I'm sure they had an elevator somewhere for wheelchair and disabled accessibility, but I didn't feel like looking for it and was determined to take the stairs...I made it to the top, to the hostess, thankfully we had a reservation...and crutched over to our table, where at least I had a great view of the setting sun....SOOO! I had the Mahi Mahi with the Orange Vermouth Sauce, Jasmine rice, and broccoli. I really liked my fish, it was cooked well and had great flavor. The rice was a bit bland, and the broccoli was nice and crisp. The rest of the family however thought their food was just average. I really liked the fact that it was BYOW (WINE). That was pretty cool. I wished we'd had saved this place for breakfast, as I can see now, that breakfast is what this place is known for...maybe next time. I recommend. Very romantic ambience, and I Loved my fish :)

    808 Bistro was a short walk from our condo in Kihei, so we walked here for lunch. The place was pretty quiet, which we thought was unusual because of the number of condos in the area. We were the only table there when the only other people left after their meal. The food was acceptable and the price was in line with other restaurants in Kihei. The service was also good since we were the only ones there. The only big complaint was that they were fixing the roof on the building and it was loud... not acceptable during lunch time IMO.

    This little hidden gem is way cool! First, you can bring your own wine for dinner. For a small 5 dollar cork charge they will chill it for you, provide you glasses and pour for you. It is a quaint little open air restaurant. The food was delivered on time with wonderful plate presentation, and very delicious! The pricing is also quite reasonable, especially for the south Maui area, which is quite expensive. If you are on a budget while vacationing in Maui and want a nice dinner; I highly suggest this place!

    Came here twice for breakfast, limited menu but all so great selections! We tried the banana bread French toast, and that was like Heaven! Whale pie awesome! The fruit plate is good but please don't serve the slices of banana bread cold from the refrigerator, I know the fruit is cold but cold bread to me is offsetting since it's supposed to be fresh right? Will come back next time we come to Maui if we are in the area.

    This review is for the breakfast. The place was a little hard to find at first. I saw their deli, I guess you can order sandwiches there. We parked way in the back and it was to the far left as we started to walk towards the plaza. My group ordered the whale pie which was ham, egg, and cheese over hash browns and drowned in gravy. Our server suggested the gravy on the side so you can add as much as you want. We also had the curry omelet which was unique but yet good, and the banana bread bread french toast was my favorite and a nice twist to french toast. They don't serve alcohol but you can BYOB. We sat outdoors under a canopy area and had a nice view of the ocean across the street. Most breakfast items were under $10, a few were a little more. They do offer a kids menu.

    This little hole in the wall bistro was on my list to try during our visit. It is low key and laid back but an obvious local and tourist favorite. I had the turkey sandwich with cranberry aioli. It was simple, delicious and very flavorful. I hope to enjoy another before we leave. Yum!

    Came here the first night in Maui bc of yelp reviews. Not disappointed. Great outdoor space, great appetizer (buffalo shrimp), and mouth watering entree in the Pork and Beans. The pork was so succulent and tasty. And the white beans? Oh. My. God. Perhaps the BEST supplemental side dish to a main course I've ever had. Eaten alone or eaten with the pork, the taste was amazing. This food is what food is all about. Tasty and reasonably healthy (no overuse of creams or sauces, cooked well) and everything just comes together perfectly. Note it's bring your own beverage, which is kind of a deterrent or a bonus depending on how you look at it. I think it's a bonus just as long as you plan ahead of time. With good food, you want to keep eating until it's all gone. With fantastic food, you pause and eat things slowly bc you want to savor every bit of it. 808 Bistro has fantastic food.

    Hidden behind the deli this little place had an awesome breakfast. I took the recommendation and tried both the banana bread french toast and the curry omelette. They were outstanding and went nicely with the kona coffee. They have outside seating with ocean view though you wouldn't know it from the main road.

    We're from Jersey, so BYB is quite common. We went to the ABC store a bit north and got a bottle (but were told wine is closer in the shopping mall just north of the bistro). The Portuguese soup was excellent, and my wife was quite happy with the house salad. We had the catch of the day prepared three ways - it was excellent! The ambiance was nice (talked with some people next table), open, fresh air, view of beach. Prices were good, service was good, location was good - glad to have made this choice!

  • James S.

    Yup, as good as it gets. We've been in Maui for a week and this place is our top pick. We all loved it and we've been to the swanky restaurants in the Fairmont hotel and Cafe O'lei as well. This place beat them both easily. We loved the BYO and went to Safeway and got surprisingly very very good prices on higher end wine, paid only $25/bottle for Kenwood 2007 Jack London (wolf label) Cab Sauv Sonoma CA. I had a large salad with walnuts, apples, goat cheese and some greens. The salad dressing was the perfect amount and it was not drenched as most places do it. I split it w/ my wife and she loved it too. The salad is called an "Uncle Chad". My entree was pasta alfredo with shrimp and had the two other adults try it and they loved it. There was plenty of shrimp that were large and fresh. The sauce on the pasta was awesome and it was not too heavy, it was rich though. My wife had a Skirt Steak medium rare which was scrumptious, we added some of it to my daughter's pasta dish. The steak tasted like a filet mignon. My brother had mahi mahi and he liked it. Now what is we keep talking about, this dinner for 3 adults w/ 1 large salad appetizer, 2 kids meals, and one cup of coffee was $107. Atmosphere is casual, we did not try the pork though and this is one of their best sellers they say. We're going back tomorrow for dinner. We were recommended to this place by a guy named Avocado who was our zip line instructor. He recommended it for breakfast but since breakfast was included in our hotel we opted to try it for dinner. Plus Avocado's other pick Paia Seafood Market was good hit as well. Update ... Sept 4, 2011 We went back for dinner the next night and still give this place 5 stars. I had the highly recommend pork chops. I ordered them medium rare and they came out just right. They were very lean, good portion, and came w/ plenty of very tasty sides. The pork chops were topped with some sort of tasty topping that we loved. The wife had the short ribs which were great but we felt the the pork chops had a slight edge over them. We also re-ordered the large salad (The Uncle Chad) I had the night before and split it as we both really loved it. Menu you can check out for yourselves here 808bistro.com/menu.html

  • Sharine H.

    My husband and I were excited to come here because of the positive yelp reviews, however, we left dissapointed. The steak I ordered medium came out bloody, so I switched dinners with my husband. The pork chops tasted ok ..but were dry and the what tasted like instant mashed potatoes were luke warm. The vegetable and stuffing sides did not taste good at all. Also, the bathroom is pretty disgusting. =(

    My husband and I love this place. I take everyone I know when we are in Kihei. I love the 808 salad and they have some really good other dishes as well. It is also great to bring your own bottle of wine without any corkage fee (so you and your date can bring a good $8 bottle of wine rather than paying $8 for one glass of the same wine). The atmosphere is really mellow and there is a side view of the ocean from behind Moose's/Fred's. Really romantic yet casual setting.

    This is my go-to place for dates, taking visitors for a night on the town, and generally having a wonderful evening. It's classy without the uptight vibe, and a great place to go on a date, or celebrate a birthday in style without breaking the bank. I LOVE 808 Bistro! We went there for the first time about a year ago based on good Yelp reviews and I'm SO glad we did- the wait staff and management are laid back, pleasant, attentive and awesome and the view is SO killer during sunset (try their sunset menu!) The best part though is the food. OMG!!!!! It's SO thoughtfully prepared, kudos to the chef! My boyfriend craves their bleu cheese apple gratin and I will never forget how delicious the pork and beans were. Everything we've tried here has been a wake-up call to my taste buds and its really set the standard for dining out in my book. 808 is BYOB, which really saves money on the check and the wait staff is happy to open your wine bottle and pour it, or bring you a chilled bucket and glasses for your beers. I'm pretty sure this is my favorite restaurant on the island. Thanks, 808 Bistro!

    Wow, once again we followed the advice of others on Yelp and we are sure glad we did. Our meal was fabulous and so was the service. My husband had the short rib omelette and was delighted. I had the mango chutney pork chops, which were perfect. We did have one piece of banana bread french toast which was also heaven. Do your self a favor and go. Really!

  • Clare V.

    My boyfriend and I decided to try this place for brunch and it was great. He got the short rub omelette and I got the banana bread French toast, which admittedly are the signature items. Between the very tasty dishes and the great surroundings of palm trees and the beach, it was quite the pleasant meal! It did take a little while to get our food, but the staff warned us of that from the beginning because they had just sat a group of 20.

    Still sitting in the Bistro after finishing breakfast for the second time. Food and service were excellent. The banana bread French toast is outstanding. My wife, who is not a breakfast person, thoroughly enjoyed the veggie browns. My son snarfed the whale pie. If you like the banana bread, and I am sure you will, they will actually sell it by the loaf. It is spendy but so well worth it. I agree, this place is a gem tucked away from the main Kihei strip.

    Our favorite breakfast spot in Kihei. The Banana Freshtoast is astounding and made from some great, unique local ingredients. Good: - Delicious dishes. - Friendly front of house. - Meals hit the table quickly. - Kitchen staff commited to only serving high quality ingredients. - Cute, comfortable dining environment.

  • John B.

    Wow, what a great place. Again, a bit hard to find since it is behind a restautrant right on the road, but keep walking. We went back during our stay and since it is BYOB, we did. The short rib prix fixe is amazing!

  • Jason S.

    Definintely hidden from direct view. Kinda have to snake your way thru alleyways to find it tucked behind the mexican place. We started with the crab dip which was good but could have used a few more pieces of toast (too much dip for that many pieces of toast). My wife got the short rib pot pie and I got the braised short ribs. Both were quite good. The barbeque sauce on the short ribs was a little too sweet though. It seems like it needed something to cut the sweetness. Even with that, it was still quite good. Fairly small space, but we had not problem walking in. Towards the end of the meal a man (possibly the owner?) came to see how everything was. A nice touch. Ohh, and very reasonable prices for Maui!

    Was very excited to go here on our last day at the reviews were really good and we ran into a friend of the owner at one of the hotels who also had nothing but great things today. We came on our last morning and had about an hour to eat. The food took way too long as the new cooks didn't cook our food in the order the tickets came in. So so parties that were seated a 1/2 hour after we were, received their food prior to our food. The Banana Bread French toast was good, but needed to be soaked in the egg dip much longer as there was only a thin coat. We also tried the "Waffle of the day" that was a Cinnamon & Vanilla that came out smelling great. Unfortunatly it was heavy as a brick and if it fell on my foot would have injured me. A waffle should be light and fluffy, however this was dense and heavy (needed more oil and eggs, too much flour). I will say the manager took over $20 off since we had to wait so terribly long. The service was great so that was a nice thing... but the food was not so great. It sounded as though the cooks they had were new so maybe it was just an "off" morning... Hopefully they can get it right as it was cute little place and the service was good. Nice little view of the ocean from the tables. Oh and the bathrooms could have used a renovation/cleaning (I'm a guy saying this).

    Review for breakfast. Very charming little place tucked back in the corner. We enjoyed the variety of breakfast choices. I loved the whale pie. The short rib omelet was also tasty although the carrots seems an odd addition to breakfast. The french toast was excellent as well.

    5 star review for the following: 1. Banana bread french toast 2. Beautiful location - we were seated outside with a view of the beach. 3. BYOB! I didn't believe it at first, but saw it on their menu. Wow. I hope to stay in Kaanapali or Kahana when I visit Maui next, but will make a point to visit Kihei specifically to eat at 808 Bistro.

  • Indigo M.

    I had to give it a 2 star rating due to the service and the atmosphere. While eating we got to hear all about how the locals hated tourists. Then a few days later we were verbally berated by our waitress and she let us know exactly how she felt about tourists and gay tourists at that. She accused us of stiffing her on the bill for $0 .75 when we left her a $12 tip. I would not recommend this establishment unless you are a local or you may just get this same treatment. The food however was amazing and a good view of the ocean. It's too bad that the service was poor or we would go back.

    We were lucky enough to find this restaurant on our first night in Maui. Well, for full disclosure, I should say we were Yelpy enough to find this spot. (Thanks guys!) It's a quiet patio tucked behind and to the side of Fred's Mexican restaurant (follow the signs), with a decent view of the sunset if your timing is right. Mellow, ambient music like Tracy Chapman and Jason Mraz (I think). Hostess, waitress and owner (?) are all pleasant, kind and adept. But the 5th star is in honor of the food. This is probably the most creative and clever food we've had in Hawaii. Not content to just hook tourists in with lame puns, silly-willy food names and serve them endless, tired versions of over-prepared mahi-mahi and ahi tuna, this chef appears to take real pleasure and pride in an exquisite use of Hawaiian ingredients, without beating you over the head with pineapples and coconuts! We had the Johnny Wellington appetizer (lamb in a puff pastry, with tzaziki sauce on the side), which was inventive and delicious. Husband had the trio of fish preparations and I had the chicken cordon bleu. Both of these dishes could have been served elsewhere in Hawaii, but the difference here is that, instead of drowning in sauces or being over-cooked/fried etc, they had drizzles of sauce, suggestions of flavors consciously applied to complement, rather than overshadow the fish and chicken. Overall, a mellow, well thought-out and friendly dining experience. We'll be back, along with lots of other Yelpers, as indicated by the overwhelmingly favorable reviews here so far. And there will be no knocking of noggins from coconuts!

    I had a great breakfast at 808 Bistro. I arrived just before 8am and had a little bit of trouble finding the restaurant. It is located behind the other two restaurants that are easily seen from the street. It was practically empty, whereas the other two restaurants were packed. I was pleasantly surprised that the food and service were great. I had coffee (always great in Maui), the curry omelet was absolutely awesome. It was filled with delicious veggies and and Portuguese sausage. I don't think of curry and an omelet, but it was something I could eat many more of. The Banana Bread French Toast is a MUST! Super moist and not too sweet. Was the highlight of the meal.

    (3.5 stars) I only have good things to say about 808 Bistro....the only thing is everything I have to say has a "but" at the end of it...see for yourself: It has an nice islandy open air environment BUT it doesn't have a view of anything except some trees It is actually NOT in a strip mall like everything else in Maui BUT it is in like a complex of restaurants and a deli so it still has a bit of a strip mall atmosphere They have some delicious looking fish of the day options cooked in all different and seemingly delicious ways BUT they were out of fish for the night so no chance to try any of these combinations They had delicious sounding buffalo shrimp BUT in reality it was not much more than shrimp dipped in spicy but uninspired buffalo sauce They had a great special prime rib roast that was delicious BUT they could only cook it at a medium rare/medium temperature or hotter. The manager/owner did come over to ask us about our meal and seemed to really put importance on both good and bad feedback. Overall an above average place in a below average Maui restaurant scene.

  • Mike B.

    Took the wife and kids (aged 4 and 1) to 808 along with my mother-in-law. We chose 808 Bistro based on the amazing Yelp reviews. Our experience was good, but not great. 1. The food was very good. My wife, however, did not care for her dish (The short ribs) as she found it too salty. Mom and I enjoyed our pork chops however, and our deserts were exceptional. :) 2. The service was "ok". Our server was friendly and attentive while present, but could have standed to come around a bit more often. At issue: The busboy kept lifting heavy plates and knives (steak knives!) directly over my 1 yr old's head, in a manner that I'd describe as... risky. He actually had some forks fall right next to her, and seemed oblivious to the fact that there was a little person under his blast radius. Sigh. 3. The ambiance of the place itself was "ok." Maui spoils you with over-the-top ocean views and sunsets every night. This place was in a strip mall with a "good not great" view of the sky and trees a few streets back from the oceanfront. 4. The men's bathroom was gross! My 4 yr old and I hit the head after dinner and I honestly had this thought when cleaning him up that "This place loses a star on bathroom cleanliness/lighting alone." In summary, I still cautiously recommend the place as they have very good food at very good prices for the area. I just can't get behind the 4 and 5 star ratings on account of the quality of the service and the facilities.

    We were searching for a place to go to celebrate our nuptials where we wouldn't completely break the bank and we settled on 808 Bistro. We both enjoyed the food and the ocean view was great! This is a BYOB place so be sure to bring your drink of choice if you want anything alcoholic. I had a ginger glazed mahi mahi which was cooked to perfection. My only semi complaint is that it was served plain rice. A little seasoning or sauce for the rice would have been nice. My wife had the short rib with great garlic mashed potatoes. We would go back if we ever come to Maui again.

  • Kenneth S.

    I tried their curry omelet, and it was different, in a good way. The portions, i think, were the right amount to the price they charge. I think what made me enjoy my breakfast was their Banana Bread French Toast. Very classy. The waiter was very nice and social with the people, and the location is surrounded with trees and a peekaboo view of the ocean, depending on where you sit.

    We liked this place so much we came twice during our vacation. It's down the street from our condo, so really convenient. Both times I called ahead earlier in the day for a reservation, and I recommend that since the only tables they have for diners who don't call ahead are on the patio, and if it's raining you'll be out of luck. There's a convenience store in the strip mall just next door to pick up a bottle of wine or a 6 pack with dinner. The food is just terrific. The menu is small, but there are a lot of different choices (pork, beef, chicken, fish, vegetarian, pasta). Between us we had 3 salads and 3 entrees, and they were all very good. I'd say the short rib was best, then the chicken cordon bleu, then the pork and beans, but you can't really go wrong. I overheard a lady sitting near us as for something that doesn't contain onions, and the chef offered to make a lemon butter sauce for the fish just for her, so service is good too. Desserts are also good - try the lava bar!

  • D C.

    If you are from SEATTLE and enjoy the foodie scene there, DO NOT EAT HERE. Dont just read any reviews and judge by the star rating. Follow a few people who have similar tastes as you. Dinner was mediocre; Chicken Cordon Bleu (had to order chicken for toddler to eat) was bland. The pineapple sauce was unseasoned and not sweet. Pork Tenderloin was nothing special. More like a local Applebees. I really expect more for a $20+ entree. This was supposed to be a birthday dinner, so we went to Spago and ordered appetizer and dessert at the bar which were delicious, filling. Also, when I called to RSVP same day at 2pm, the lady sighed and mentioned she could fit us in at the last table corner courtyard. I'm thinking, oooh this place must be good! We got there right at 5pm, first ones. When we left at 6pm, only four tables were occupied. Really. - Kimo's has similar quality food, but cheaper.

  • Ernesta K.

    This place has an outside seating and is byob. We ordered short rib omelette and curry omelette and it was just as good as the comments described it. The waited said these two omelets are their best seller. We also tried banana bread french toast and it was really delicious. The prices are not expensive and the service was really great. However it was interesting that every single coffee cup is different. Definitely a must go for breakfast!

    One of the best places to eat in Kihei Maui for breakfast. 808 Bistro is tucked away behind Fred's Mexican restaurant just follow the signs (don't get confused with the 808 Deli). For breakfast the focaccia breakfast sandwich is excellent. The bread is soft and tastes like a homemade biscuit . Order it with the Portuguese sausage and you'll be in heaven. The banana bread french toast is also a great choice. Service was quick and friendly. They also offer a Bloody Mary self serve bar - but if you want alcohol - bring your own. As of September 2010 they did not have their liquor license.

    I am not a 5 star giver. It takes a lot for me to give 5 stars so here is what is great about this place - Good high quality food that is prepared in a tasty yet eclectic way (what you would expect from a restaurant that cost a lot more) - Beautiful view, especially at sunset - BYOB though I am sure this will change when they get their license - Maui Cordon Blue was amazing - Lamb Wellington is a must try (though not a fan of the mint jelly it is on the side so dont worry) - Bananas Foster ... amazing and since you are not paying for alcohol might as well get dessert - Our waitress Kristen was awesome, so attentive, all star service Go Here, you wont regret it, aim for sunset and even better

    On Maui with grandkids and ready for an adult night out. Read the reviews and had to give this restaurant a try. It was everything the other reviewers said it was. The atmosphere is pleasant with a view of the water. The waitstaff is friendly and Josh, the owner comes out to visit. I had the Sunset Dinner, a steal at $25. Pork chops cooked to perfection with the best stuffing and garlic mashed potatoes. The Lava Bar is a must try for desert. My wife had the fish trio which was equally well done. Currently the Bistro is still a BYOB which makes it even more of a killer bargain. Much of the staff are from the Maui Four Seasons and it shows. If you want a great meal at a reasonable price AND ambiance, give 808 Bistro a try. You won't regret it.

    Decided to take my dad here for father's day after I found out it was BYOB (yes, it still is-- it takes a while to get a liquor license in Maui county, apparently), and it turned out he and my mother had come several times and really enjoyed it! I had the trio of fish, which is mahi mahi served three ways, all of which were quite tasty although one of them was a little sweet even for me-- and I'm a sweet-toothed monster. But the food was generally delicious (the focaccia they served before the meal was fantastic) and the service was great. As an added bonus they were playing a lot of great music tracks-- female vocalists who serve as an overlap between my dad's musical taste and mine, mainly Sade, Tracy Chapman, and Norah Jones --which was awesome. Unfortunately this little gem is tucked in behind the loud and mildly obnoxious Fred's Mexican restaurant so it doesn't get the love and attention that it should. If you're looking to get meals in the $15-20/person range and you want a really nice, pleasant, and very tasty meal, definitely give 808 Bistro a try. And then tell your friends. (Note, of course, that this is the 808 "Bistro," not the 808 "Deli," which is in the same building.)

    1. FABULOUS FABULOUS FABULOUS 2. You can bring your own wine. 3. Little hard to find, stick with it and avoid all the other restaurants in Kihea 4. The owner overheard me talking to my husband about his 50th birthday and surprised us with a dessert with candle. The unexpected surprise was totally amazing. 5. The food was great, try the pork and beans, trust me. 6. We did not have a reservation, and 3 teens, and they treated us like royalty. 7. SKIP the ghetto restaurants and go here. We loved it. Can't wait to go back 8. Did I mention that you can bring your own wine? ---don't care about the reason why. :-)

    Went for breakfast Because of the good reviews. I had the short rib omelet, banana bread French toast and the waffle of the day. The short rib omelet was okay nothing special. Was disappointed by the banana bread french toast. Don't believe the hype on the banana bread French toast. Ive had better banana bread from the supermarket. The waffle was really overpriced. It was a small serving with a lot of whip cream. The service was not so great also. We were the only ones in the restaurant at one point and the waiter only checked up on us twice. My water was empty During my whole meal.

    This place was not as great as the Yelp reviews hyped it up to be, but it was still a good meal. We made it in time to get the Sunset deal - I think it was $25 for a salad, entree and dessert. The beef entree that I had was topped with a sauce that I thought was too sweet for the beef - and I have a sweet tooth. The bread pudding I ordered for dessert was also just average. But overall, a decent meal for a decent price.

    This food was outstanding! Banana coconut curry soup was brilliant. Short ribs were great. Even the garlic butter served with the bread had a special balsamic twist. Leeah was our server and took great care of us but we got love from several of the staff who took a second to fill water bring more bread etc. Don't pass this place up when your in Maui!

    My husband and I had dinner tonight at the bistro, and when we got home, he told me we needed to write a review. We're fans of the deli, and have been for years (we come to maui every january) and we figured we had to give the bistro a shot. Our waitress was phenomenal - as was the entire crew. Our appetizer, the goat cheese plate was amazing. My husband ordered the pot pie - he loved it - and it was HUGE and filling. I ordered the mahi with a spicy rub/fruit salsa. It was perfect. We also shared the bread pudding for dessert - we ended up taking most of it home.. We've been coming to maui for a decade, and I'll tell you - this is the best meal we've had on the islands. Don't forget to pick up your own wine on the way! Congrats, guys - this second experiment (the first being their awesome deli ) definitely is a star!

    Went here for Sunday brunch when on vacation in Maui back in May 2013. Great little spot for breakfast. Food was delicious and I would definitely be back the next time I am in Maui.

    Came back for their Sunset Prix-Fixe before 6pm. Tasted their Portugese Sausage Soup which was good but we passed. Ordered a green salad with apple curry dressing which was large and good. The beef sparerib with BBQ mustard sauce was tasty and nicely accompanied by garlic mash and asparagus. We ordered the flat iron steak and the balsamic reduction was excellent. The scalloped potatoes had bleu cheese and was great. We ended with a passion fruit sorbet and mud pie gelato from a local maker and were satisfied. Glad we cane back for the food, fair price and sunset.

    Excellent breakfast. I had the curry omelette and a side of the banana bread French toast. Both were absolutely excellent. The only reason I left 4 stars is the slow and intermittent service. The food is definitely worth 5 stars.

    The service was amazing here, and the food is priced right. Seeing all the rave reviews of this place, I had to check it out while in Kihei. Although I thought the food wasn't 'to die for,' the overall experience is what everyone is talking about. No corkage fee and they provide both beer glasses and nice wine glasses. The food was by far, better than average, but not outstanding. That being said, you're not going to pay an arm and a leg here, which makes the overall experience wonderful. Basically, this place is nice, romantic, reasonable for sure, and the food is priced right.... I forgot, the service is outstanding! Support local restaurants, and go here... Don't forget to bring your own booze.

    This was a great find for breakfast (thanks to the other yelpers). They had some interesting menu items that gave the hawaiian breakfast a twist. Only four stars because they didn't serve rice with their eggs and port. sausage. The portions are very generous and the price isn't spendy at all for the area. It's BYOB so if you'd like to add a little vodka to your blood mary mix - go to town.

    We went for breakfast after reading all of the great reviews..... However I totally regretted it. My food was terrible! The pork chop was small with no flavor my husbands fish was small and over cooked and worst of all 50.00 for breakfast that tastes worst than Mcdonalds..........Seriously go to Dennys at least their food is better! If you want to spend allot of money for mediocre food then by all means go here!

    I think I will be a little disappointed when they get their liquor license cause BYOB is kinda fun. We didn't have reservations - it was about 5:30 and the place was packed so the receptionist said it would be at least an hour but then she very helpfully arranged a table for us in the "bar" area and we had the best time. It seems that everything on their menu was just yum. The Braised short ribs were very lean and had an interesting glaze that we all enjoyed. The special - a Panko crusted Ahi looked amazing and the two people in our party that ordered this thoroughly enjoyed it. The Short Rib pot pie had a crust on it that was light and crispy and the filling was savory and hearty. As I said the place was packed but we wanted for nothing as far as service went. We will be back (with reservations) soon.

    Had a nice, relaxing dinner with a great view of the South Maui sunset. At first it seemed like the restaurant was in a strange location but once seated I realized how unique it was. The service was great and the food was good. We started with baked crab dip appetizer, which was nice (not amazing but nice). I had the pork and beans, which was great (don't be turned off by the name). My partner had the gorgonzola alfredo which was really good. We shared the mac nut bananas foster for dessert and it was wonderful. Next time I'm on Maui I'll go back for breakfast as the menu looked great.

  • Mickey D.

    Nice restaurant placed in the back of a complex of stores with outdoor seating and view of the beach. I had the pork chop, which was very good. It came with delish mashed potatoes, a ratatouille, and the best buttery stuffing. Very enjoyable. Topped it off with some Kona coffee ice cream. Will definitely return next time in Kihei.

  • Mirabella K.

    Yelp doesn't have enough stars! :) This is a 10 star place! Service is super friendly, seating on the terrace facing their own court yard and watching sunset is unbeatable! Food is absolutely the best on the island!!! We had Cordon Bleu, Pork Chops, Tomato soup, Baked Crab Dip, Banana bread french toast, and Bread pudding dessert. All the meats are well cooked, but incredibly juicy and flavorful! Crab dip is a must try, but beware-it's very rich and filling! Bring your own drinks :)

    Great local food, friendly service, view of ocean and BYOB option... What more could you want in a restaurant? They are currently running an early bird 3 course special for $25/pp. BTW, go to Long's to get a nice bottle of wine, it's the best deal in the area.

    Great service, but food was only okay. The "pork and beans" arrived lukewarm, and the pork was a tad overcooked. A dining companion ordered the porkchop and also said his pork was a bit dry.

  • Jen C.

    Open air French bistro restaurant great for breakfasts. The reviews are spot on, the banana bread French toast is a must try. I had the curry omelet and it was an interesting take on an omelet; it was also extremely filling. The hash browns were the highlight and perfectly prepared. The coffee could use some work; it was burnt and bland. Great ambience with a view of the ocean.

    My girlfriend and I started off with a large 808 salad which was very tasty and a nice warmup to our entrees. For the entree, I ordered the braised boneless short ribs with a whole grain mustard BBQ sauce, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, vegetable du Jour (ratatouille). The short ribs were tender, tasty, and plentiful on its own, but that much better paired with the sweet and thick BBQ sauce that really showed off the whole grain mustard. The mashed potatoes were very good, but not garlicky and ratatouille is ratatouille. My girlfriend ordered the short rib potpie which is braised short ribs, jus, puff pastry encrusted, and some veggies. Again, the short ribs were tender & tasty and mixed perfectly with a nice gravy and root veggies all topped with a fluffy, flaky, crispy crust on top. The service was excellent with a team of people working through the tables to make sure dirty dishes were cleared, water glasses filled, and hot meals brought to the table. Considering this place is lumped in with a few other restaurants and stores in a sort of strip mall, they have done wonders for the ambiance by creating a starlit open air dining area and a covered dining area that is also open air overlooking some greenery that does a nice job of masking the nearby busy street. For under $60 we had an app, two entrees, and tip...this place is 5 star dining at 3 star expense...and don't forget, his place is BYOB!!!

    Just finished dinner at the 808 Bistro, and I found it to be a extremely pleasant experience. My husband, Mom and 7 month old were with me, and we all had a greet time. We were lucky to get a reservation, so make sure to call ahead, and BYOB. We brought a bottle of wine, and our waitress was more than attentive. She was very friendly, talked to the baby, and was a very good server as well. The manager came by to check on everything, and he was extremely friendly too. The food was excellent, we has 2 Apps, 3 entrees, and 3 desserts, everything on the menu is appealing. And very reasonable, for all that food out bill was only about $100. Some of the best food on the island!!

    Awesome, awesome, awesome. Great food, great value, great service. We came here for dinner with a party of 10-- most people had the 3-course sunset menu ($25-- AMAZING deal for the amount and quality of food...). Everyone enjoyed it and left FULL!!! It's BYOB-- so bring a bottle of wine (or 4 bottles, like we did...) We'll definitely be coming back the next time we're in Maui!

    My family of 4 and I ate here for breakfast for our last day in Maui. What a huge disappointment. We got there at 9 am. The server said "is it ok if we serve the kids first because what you ordered (flanksteak) is going to take awhile to cook". What could we say? NO and have them spit on our food? The kids received their food at 9:30 and we received our food at 10am. Mind you, there were only two other families (of 2) that were there. Why in the world would it take SO long to cook breakfast? This really dampered everyone's mood. The busboy was awesome, and if I could tip him on the side, I would.. The server was rude, cocky and really didn't care if we were being helped or not. We had to flag him down several times. The only thing that tasted decent was the banana bread french toast. The curry omlete was 3-4 pieces of sausauges with avocado and a LOT of onions. It may have well been an onion omelet. The flank steak tasted like something we could have grilled on our own at home. Folks, save your money and go somewhere else. We ate at Kihei Cafe the day prior, and the food was just AWESOME. It was order at the counter and serve yourself, but the food was good. Even Home Maid Cafe was good. At least their food is good. 808 Bistro: don't charge what you do for horrible service. I wouldn't have felt bad if it were an order at the counter and serve yourself, but for a place that has an ocean view, you can do better on service.. Disappointed in yelp reviews, which drew me to this place. Maybe they are better for dinner, but pass on this place for breakfast.

  • Tabitha S.

    Affordable place to eat in Maui especially since it is down the street (5 min drive) from the super expensive resorts. Dinner: had the crab dip, some of the bread was slightly burned but it didn't matter because the dip was so good..mmmmmm...the husband had pork and beans. He loved the melt in your mouth pork! He thought the beans were, well beans. I got the three different mahi mahi preparation. I liked 2 out of 3 preparations. We got the lava bar for dessert. It was super sweet which hit the spot for me! Service was great. The waitress recommended pork and beans to my husband which was really good. The bus boy constantly refilled my water. The bread came out warm and they brought us another basket after we were done with the first one. The waitress accurately described the lava bar as so sweet it makes your teeth hurt. (Exactly what I was looking for.) FYI the place is BYOB! We came back for breakfast: I got the short rib omlette (waiter recommendation), which was huge! The short ribs were cooked to perfection. Had to add a tiny bit of salt, but the meat was done so well I forgive it! Also get the pog (pinapple, orange?, and guava juice). Saw some of the other reviews and decided to add the following time: Ask your waiter/ waitress what they like and order that! Not sure about the other food on the menu but this is probably the best way to go.

  • Kevin M.

    A very good, inexpensive but high-quality place to eat in Kihei. We had "pork and beans" - which was very tasty pork tenderloin with a cassoulet of bean, and short ribs. The meat was tender. I found the BBQ sauce a bit over the top - I wish I had ordered the short rib pot pie, as it is served in an au jus. But overall, a very delightful dining experience. By the way, it's byob. Bring a bottle of your favorite juice!

    If you can find Moose's or Fred's in Kihei, you can find 808 Bistro...and it is SO much better than those two eateries. Just picture yourself walking into a snail's shell when you spot Fred's and you are there! 808 Bistro gussied up the name of their phenomenal "pork and beans"...now it riffs on the pork tenderloin...good job since the "pork & beans" name turned me off until one of their personable wait staff encouraged me to try it...now it is my go-to favorite. 808 Bistro has an incredible Sunset Menu deal...$25..soup or salad (their soups are a MUST), fresh baked bread, entree, and dessert (yummy warm brownie sundae! is my favorite). Their fish is as fresh as the ocean. Oh, the warmth of their service makes me feel so special. Remember BYOB...bring your favorite wine or craft beers.'.their bar ware is top notch. There IS an ocean view plus the nestled location keeps road noise at bay. Try their breakfast, too,...sumptuously gourmet, filling, and surprisingly economical.

  • Keith K.

    The positive is certainly the price. Can't find food this cheap in Maui very easily. We both had the banana bread French toast which was okay. A little heavy and felt like we were just eating banana bread soaked in syrup. The way people talked about the banana bread French toast we were expecting better.

    (2)

  • Tony K.

    Simple menu and excellent food. The food was fresh and the service was great. We had the Keiki waffle for my daughter which she loved and my wife had a ham breakfast sandwich. I ordered the curry omelette and was very impressed. Coffee was nice too. It is our favorite breakfast place so far.

  • Nitas M.

    Amazing food and great ambiance. My fiancé and I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try and we are excited we did. My fiancé literally licked his plate clean (I have a picture of it!!) definitely recommend this place, we are trying to figure out a way to go back for their breakfast.

  • Fred K.

    This is a new place for us. It took over the space that used to be the Greek Bistro. We didn't have reservations so we were put in the back. Which was fine for most of the meal. It was only towards the end when a large family of 16 showed. The food was spectacular. The place does not sell alcohol but you can bring your own beer and wine. The hostess was "indifferent" but the waitress was good and the helpers were good. Over all, it is a place we would go back to. And, we did.

    (4)

  • Lisa P.

    SPECTACULAR!!!!!! The Food was as good as it gets! Sooooo delicious! The service was great! The prices are great! We had the Short Rib Pot Pie and the 808 Pork chops. Both meals were to die for, but the pork chops were the tenderest and moist we have ever eaten anywhere!! You will not be disappointed! Can't wait to go back!

    (5)

  • Jeanne C.

    This place is great - the portions are generous, the food is excellent, prices are reasonable and the staff and management seem to really care what you think! Oh, and just as important for me, you can bring your own wine-any type or amount, cheerfully opened for you, with no corkage charges whatsoever! The menu tends a bit more toward meat than seafood; good hangar steak and stuffed pork chops. There are also a variety of crisp salads with tasty dressings. We liked it enough to dine there twice. Seating is on a patio with just a hint of a view, or a pleasant atrium if the weather isn't great. Recommended!

  • Alex B.

    This place is most excellent. Been here for dinner twice with the girlfriend and guests, all of whom enjoyed their meals. The wait staff is very friendly and it's BYOB, they even give you chilled glasses and a bucket of ice to keep your drinks in. Outdoor ambiance is very pleasant, a nice place to go for dinner after watching a sunset! So far every entree has been very good, especially the pork dishes and flank steak, and the bleu cheese apple gratin on the side is a winner. Haven't been for breakfast yet but would like to try.

    I ordered one piece of French toast and a side egg with sausage.... it was kind of mediocre.... traveling partner had the short rib omelette and it looked really good, he said it was delicious. Both the guava juice and pog were fermented! Gross.

  • Jodu M.

    Great experience. Just a few miles from the over-priced resorts in Wailea is this hidden gem. We started with the Buffalo Shrimp with a Gorgonzola Cream Sauce. Perfect amount of spiciness to allow the gorgonzola to work it's magic. My wife had the Maui Cordon Bleu. I had the Pork Chop. The Bleu had an intriguing crust with a pineapple sauce. Chicken was extremely moist and tender and was not overdone by the amount of cheese in the dish. The chops were brined and had a lot of flavor. They were slightly overcooked, but it was easy to overlook because of the wonderful candied onions on top. The dish came with one of the best stuffings I've ever eaten. Funny how macadamia nuts make everything taste so good. Both dishes were serves with ratatouille that was the highlight of the meal for me. The highlight of the meal for my wife was dessert. Bananas Fosters prepared with macadamia nuts. Incredible! The only potential down-fall is they don't have a liquor license. However, guests are allowed to BYOB and they do not charge a corkiage. Definitely would encourage anyone to visit.

    I had a salad at the deli, and I came back for dinner another night. I got the salad with goat cheese, and the pork chop. Their salads are exactly the type I like -- a bit of rich cheese, some nuts, a bit of variety in the veggies, and a fairly light dressing. The pork chop dish was also superb. This was one of the better meals I had on Maui.

  • A H.

    This place was the perfect spot for brunch. You have a peekaboo view of the ocean from the patio, and a lush garden to look out at. The service was quick and friendly, and the food was great! If you go for brunch, you must order the banana bread french toast. It's decadent, delicious and filling. I could only eat two slices, but was stuffed for hours!

  • Pammy C.

    7 days in Maui and we're back again at 808. Once at the 808 Deli for lunch,(yummy porkie panini), twice at 808 Bistro! Dinner here is fabulous. A couple of us ordered the mahi-mahi, dad had the short ribs (which is loved) and the husband had the pork chops. Nice ambiance, great service! And if you get there before 6, be sure to take advantage of the early bird special...3 course meal for $25!

    I'll keep it short being I am on vacation. Awesome food and service, one of the best breakfast place on the island of Maui. Had the banana bread french toast and short rib omelet and loved them. Will be going back for dinner and post latter. I highly recommend.

    While on vacation, we came here for breakfast and wow, the food was amazing and reasonably priced. For my savory palate, I had the short rib and jalapeño omelette which was delicious and spicy; a unique ingredient combo that i haven't seen anywhere else. A must try! For a sweet tooth, my boyfriend had the banana nut bread French toast, which was a little too sweet. Overall, great food, beautiful view of the water, service was spot on, and its BYOB. A must check out while in Maui!

    Wow the sunset special. The wait staff is awesome. You can bring your own booze one star, the food was awesome (pork chop & short ribs) two star, desert brownie ice cream one star, and lastly the soup, best cauliflower soup I've ever had. And that's why it's 5 stars. Oh and you get to watch the sunset during dinner. It was dope.

    This is my favorite restaurant on Maui so far. Their short ribs would impress Gordon Ramsey. Melts in your mouth and has big BBQ flavor. Their butternut squash soup was superb and the night was finished off with Macadema Nut Bananas Foster which was pretty outrageous! The service was super friendly and attentive. Thanks to fellow Yelpers for their suggestion.

  • Paul F.

    This is a hidden gem in Kihei. I personally go here for one thing and one thing only, the buffalo shrimp with gorgonzola blue cheese cream sauce. It's actually an appetizer, but it's delish. Their salads are pretty good and entrees are ok. I usually do fish and make it a seafood night out with a great view of the sunset in their open air seating area.

  • Michelle G.

    Came here for dinner after reading the reviews on yelp. Hubby had the pot pie which was a decent size, and hubby said quite tasty. I had the pork and beans and for some reason I was thinking the pork would be like pulled pork chunks but it boneless chops which were actually decently juicy for chops but my fav was the beans and spinach which came in tasty sauce. Service was very slow but at least they keep the fresh bread and butter (that night it was balsamic butter) coming throughtout your 35-40 minute wait for your food to come out. We were in no rush although we were very hungry but like I said the fresh bread helped. We received a coupon that night for free banana bread french toast so we decided to come here the next morning for breakfast before heading out to the road to Hana. BIG mistake. Service again was very slow, girl took our order and brought us our coffee but after that she basically never came back to our table. My hubby ordered a omlette and I ordered the banana french toast. You would think these two plates would not take so long right? eggs dont take long to cook and french toast either...there werent even that many people there maybe 2 other tables total of 6 other people. But again food took about 35-40mins to come out and this time it was not worth the wait. The french toast were a big disappointment for me, it was basically just slices of banana bread barely dipped in eggs and grilled, to me it was more like slices of banana bread then actual "french toast", hubby's omlette looked goood, nothing special. We were sitting there done with our meal just sitting there because even our coffees were empty for at least 15mins. Finally our bill was brought and again we sat there for at least another 10mins...I finally lost it, the place isnt that big that the waitress couldnt see that we were just sitting there if she was actually doing her job we could have been out of there 30 mins prior, so we got up and went over to where the bus boy was and handed him the bill with the coupon and credit card, there was then a confusion wether the discount had been apllied and our waitress came over and confused the matters even more. Not sure what happened after that because I had to go to the car before I really lost it. Seriously I know we were in Maui and everyone is chill but when food is so $$ and place is so small you expect good prompt service. Id say deff try this place out for dinner but breakfast is nothing special and not worth the 2-3hrs. Try Cafe @The Plague for breakfast, their bagels are amazing (my fav is the pineapple bagel) and they seem to have a good breakfast menu as well though I didnt try. There is a nice beach across the street so you can take your food to go and enjoy at the beach.

    My family and I had dinner here last night. I had the gorgonzola penne, my wife had the short ribs, my mother in law the chopped salad and my son had spaghetti with butter. All the dishes were very good and the price was reasonable. We even brought our own wine and there was no corkage fee to my surprise. The staff was very friendly and accommodated us even though they were busy and we had no reservations. I was also pleasantly surprised by how fast the food came. The only downside is the lack of menu choices but otherwise I highly recommend this place.

    (4)

  • Sonya T.

    The pork chops were good and my boyfriend got the clams spaghetti, which was also good. Another good thing is that you can bring your own wine with no corking fee since they do not serve alcohol. Only real complaints are that it took a while to get served and to even get our waiter to our table when we first sat down.

  • Kevin D.

    We had a great evening here. The food was great. We loved the Buffalo Shrimp. Then we had the mahi mahi 3 ways, each was fabulous. Nice quite location set back from the street. Could still see the ocean and sunset. She staff was great, each and every one. Make sure to break away from your busy day and sit and relax here. Oh Yeah, BYOB. (Wine beer etc) There is no fee for this and you will not get any from them. No liquor license. But they have chilled glasses for beer, wine glasses, and chillers for wine and Champaign. Very nice.

    When my fiance and I were looking for an affordable lunch while searching for a wedding location in Maui we came across great reviews for 808 Deli. After our pork sandwiches we were immediaterly hooked. We returned the next day for their breakfast sandwiches and were again thoroughly impressed. Since we had not found a catering company for our wedding we went out on a limb and asked Josh and Jim (the brothers who run the deli) if they would be willing to provide the dinner for our wedding. Two months later we had them host our rehearsal dinner at their 808 Bistro and then had them cater our wedding the next day at Olowalu Plantation House; it was PERFECT!!! Josh and Jim provided us with the entire outside dining area at their 808 Bistro for our wedding party, and it felt like we were eating a gourmet dinner at home. They came up with a unique menu for the dinner; the catch of the day and appetizers were amazing and everyone raved for the remainder of our wedding about how great the night was. My wife and I could not have asked for a better night, and the staff at 808 Bistro were to thank. The next day we had out wedding, and again Josh and Jim delivered an amazing meal to our 80 guests! The Maui Pork and potatoes au' gratin were my personal highlights. We could not have been more impressed with their catering. Josh and Jim had worked at the Four Seaons before opening 808 Deli (and now 808 Bistro as well) and we felt like we had gotten five star dining at a three star price. Overall my wife and I are extremely grateful to Josh and Jim for making our wedding week an experience that we and our guests will never forget. From their casual 808 Deli to their ultra-Hawaiian 808 Bistro, you will truly enjoy your experience here. We can not thank them enough and we cant wait to come back to eat with them on our anniversary!

    Breakfast =Curry omelette! Banana bread french toast! Dinner = Short rib! All meals = BYOB, no corkage! And you still get an ocean view (albeit set back a little from the main drag) without the ocean view prices. Please frequent this special place so it doesn't fail like the Greek place before it. (We're only in Maui a couple times a year, so we can't do it alone.)

  • Eric M.

    It was good but not fantastic. Kind of surprised by all the 5 star reviews. The food was pretty greasy and the ham that came with my wife eggs was very fatty. Egg sandwich was really good. Omelettes were good but a little greasy. We ordered one slice of bannana french toast. It was good but the egg on it was very thin. My wife also asked the rudest waitress we had on our whole trip if it came with chopped bannanas on top. The waitress treated the question like she was an idiot just saying three different ways that the bread was MADE with bannanas. The waitress just seemed like she flat out hated being there. Kind of put a damper on the whole meal. Paid $64.00 for egg sandwich; two omelettes; one order of waffeles; two eggs and hash browns; one slice of bannana bread french toast; no drinks.

    We opted to skip the whole luau/dinner cruise scene and decided to go to 808 Bistro due to yelp's recommendation. Im glad we did! The food was decently priced ($15-20 an entree). I especially enjoyed the crab dip appetizer! My bf hates crabs but he loved the dip!! The pork chops were moist and cooked just the way I liked it. And fyi, it's a BYOB type of place. The employees were very friendly and personable, I would def recommend the 808 :)

  • Emily R.

    Loved this place! My husband & I dined here after reading the reviews on yelp. The restaurant is sort of hard to find, but it is worth the search. It is quiet, the wait staff is friendly and the food is excellent. I had a pork chop (which I don't usually get) and it was so good! The restauran was still BYOB (last week of July 2010), but no corkage so that was a nice bonus. Sort of wish they did that in CA! The manager came by every table to make sure everything was up to par. If we were going back to Maui anytime soon, I would totally go back.

    Everything was great! The banana bread was as good as everyone else here claimed. The curry omelet was excellent and the focaccia egg sandwich was very tasty! Friendly service and there's a view of the ocean if you sit by the railing!

    Crab cake dip: 5 stars....yum. kids said they'll be back & order that as an entree....it is THAT good! Short Rib Pot Pie: 4 stars...very flavorful Pork Chop: very flavorful as well....so tender that it did not taste like pork at all The best part is the BYOB. we were stuffed that we had no room for desert. hopefully, we'll be back once more before we leave....will try their early bird 3 course deal...

    Great meal while vacationing in Maui. Found this place on Yelp and it was everything reviewers said. All four of us loved our meals, and price was very reasonable. We visited for dinner. Two of us had the short ribs and loved it. My Dad couldn't stop talking about it for 2 days! My wife had the short rib pot pie and thought it was delish also. She loves good chicken pot pie and thought it was great. I tried and agreed. Crust was flaky and it was like a beef stew inside. My mom had the clam spaghetti. She's usually very picky but really like it as well. I also had an 808 salad, which was really good and my wife had the broccoli curry soup. She loved it and I'm not a big broccoli fan, but I like curry, and I even liked it. Overall, a fabulous meal. Make reservations. We called on a Thu about 11am and they could get us in before 6pm or after 8pm. We took 6pm and there were only about 2 other tables seated when we arrived (its small). We were served quickly, everyone was friendly, a great experience.

    Very decent. Small menu but everything was pretty good. Entrees come with veg and starch so plenty to eat. BYOB makes it reasonable. Extremely friendly service.

    One of the better places to get american style restaurant food. All of the staff including the owner, chef, and staff were excellent and very attentive, though the menu was a limited for things not soaked in typical restaurant oil and griddled. Great atmosphere and view. We had an amazing papaya and mango chilled soup!

    Loved, loved, loved this place! Perfect location, friendly, helpful, quick service, and delicious food! Ambiance was a double bonus! Between my husband and I, we tried the short rib omelet, curry omelet, eggs and hashbrown breakfast, banana bread french toast (amazing!), goat cheese sampler plate, short ribs entree, 808 salad with Mahi, and the brownie sundae (don't worry, that was three different meals!). Everything was delicious. I don't know why the place isn't always crowded (especially with the sunset view!), but we were thankful it wasn't. Dinner reservations for our anniversary also got us a front row seat for the sunset (though we'd had the same nice view for both breakfasts we ate there, too :-)). Would highly recommend you try this place, and that you try the banana bread french toast!

    This place is a well kept secret! The concierge at the Grand Wailea didn't even know about it. We wanted something really Yummy, and not a goofy tourist trap. It's hidden by a big Mexican restaurant and then you have to wind through some hallways to get there. It's not a fancy atmosphere, but the chef, formerly at four seasons, is awesome. My husband had the short ribs - awesome. I had a salad and the asparagus soup - delish. My daughter had a beef pot pie thing that was yummy. Save room for dessert!!!!!! Good stuff and you get a bang for your buck!

    This place was one of the best places we ate while on Maui. Service was excellent and the food was very tasty. I tried the 808 Pork chops and the braised shot ribs. Both were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Pork chops came with garlic mash and portuguese sausage stuffing and both complimented the pork chops nicely. Also, we listened to recommendations and got the soup. The soup was a clam chowder and let me just confirm what others are saying... GET THE SOUP! The chowder was delicious and hearty.

    We had an outstanding dinner at the 808 Bistro last week! The ambiance is so pleasant with outdoor seating, an ocean breeze and a slight view. The staff was attentive but low key, pleasant and helpful. We began our meal with the delicious crap dip that tasted fresh. I then had an herbed Mahi that was simple, light and delicious. My friend ate the pork chop, which was exceptionally tender and tasty! We brought our own bottle of wine, which they quickly chilled for us. We enjoyed a quiet dinner in a peaceful setting with excellent food for a price far more reasonable than area restaurants of similar quality. We've already recommended the 808 Bistro to multiple friends in the area and plan to return promptly upon our next visit to Maui!

  • Helen H.

    We visited this place twice during our vacation. Loved the short rib dish, which was very tasty and quite lean. The pork and beans is the best, tender, savory and a little sweet. Actually it is the most tender pork loin we've ever tasted. We did take out for our second visit. The flat iron steak was very tasty, but not very tender. The mahi-mahi with Caribbean spice was a big disappoint though. It was really bland and the fish was over cooked as well.

    Wonderful! I ordered the fish trio and it was amazing. In addition to that you are able to bring your own wine that really helps bring down the cost of the meal. They have a set sunset meal deal for only $25 (5pm-6pm) for 3 courses!

    This place should do well. We ate there twice on our recent vacation to Maui. Our first night we were looking for a place close to our condo. It's a cool, quiet ambiance tucked away just a little bit off the street, yet you still can see the ocean. They were busy enough for a 15 minute wait before getting seated but we just walked around the area a little bit to pass the time. We returned for breakfast a few days later. Service was exceptional. Egg dishes are fantastic. I had a focaccia egg sandwich which was delicious. Apparently the BYOB is due to the fact the liquor license on the prior establishment had expired by just a few days and 808 Bistro had to start the permitting process from scratch. Anyway, great food, great atmosphere, great service. Can't go wrong!

    The boyfriend and I wanted a relaxed inexpensive dinner where we could relax and watch the sunset while enjoying excellent food... enter 808 bistro. Hands down, the best meal we ate on this side of the island. They don't have their liquor license yet so be sure to grab a bottle or two before you go.

  • Josh U.

    We ate here twice during our stay and were pleased both times. The Wellington app. was amazing. The pot pie and pasta alfredo both were great as well. We tried the Mahi with the tomato burre blanc (sp?) and the chicken cordon bleu and they were just ok, nothing special. Service was great and they are reasonably priced. They do not serve booze so bring your own, no corkage fee.

  • Al J.

    Don't get the high reviews for 808. Very mediocre in all areas - menu, presentation, food (bland), service. Nothing bad but nothing close to memorable. Had puff pastry lamb and the 808 salad to begin. Both were OK. Had mahi mahi two different ways - blackened with fruit salsa and orange vermouth. Both were largely flavorless - how can fruit on Maui have no taste? Maybe we ordered the wrong things. But there was no zip, nothing special to what we had. Lots of better choices nearby.

    I was referred to the 808 Bistro from a Resort which my husband and I are members of. On 4/4/12, I was hosting an Anniversary breakfast for 24 people being that my husband and I renewed our vows in Kihei, Maui to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The owner at 808 Bistro, Mitch was very helpful. He offered to close the restaurant to host a private breakfast party for us. This being the first buffet that Mitch and his staff executed turned out to be awesome. I even customize the menu to my preference. The food and the service was great! Thank you again Mitch for a Job well done. You and your staff did an amazing job! Melissa and Raul Corral

  • Jay G.

    Service is personal and attentive. This place is BYOB so come with your wine and/or beer. The owners are visit and personable, and the entrees are all $4-8 less than any other restaurant you'll visit in Maui. This restaurant is ironically placed behind Moose Mcgullwhatever and a Mexican joint. All the garbage eating tourists can eat there while you politely slip by to 808 Bistro. We started with the Chad salad and crab dip, which was excellent...great chunks of crab in a light cheese casserole. I had the Pork and beans...pork tenderloin over spinach and cassoulet. Absolutely amazing. So far its the best meal I've had on Maui. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

  • Michelle J.

    We had a wonderful dinner there and a fabulous breakfast too. Thanks Yelpers for the recommendation! The mahi mahi was wonderful. The view was lovely and the service was fantastic. The brownie sundae looked great, but we were too full (sadly). We did come back for breakfast to try the banana bread french toast, which was quite decadent! We'll definitely eat here again when we come back to Maui.

  • Triple C.

    Not to be confused with 808 deli! Two separate businesses with the bistro in the rear. My wife and I have only had their breakfast samplings. They are known for their banana bread French toast. Let me confirm it is excellent! I cant have regular French toast anymore! Lol! The breakfast choices include your typical selections but with portugese sausage which I must say is very tasty. Certainly a welcomed change from farmer john fatty sausage links! Portugese sausage tastes good, is less salty and has less fat! The curry omelette was tasty but I felt the curry sauce was a bit lacking. The staff is very friendly and if they make a mistake on an order, they will take care of it fast and refund you without even asking if appropriate. I can't say enough about their courteous, friendly attitudes! I may give them a higher rating once I come back for their other dinner selections. Overall, a great place to eat at!

  • Cyndy L.

    Charming open air bistro with tasty food. A good value for Maui. I really enjoyed the carrot ginger soup and the decadent breach pudding. Short ribs, mahi mahi (prepared three ways), and pot pie were also good, but not great. Cheerful service. BYOB with no corkage was a happy surprise.

    (4)

  • Kristina M.

    I've been here twice and still cant get excited about it. The atmosphere is great and the prices are good, but the food was just.. Mediocre at best. Around here you can get a piece of Mahi Mahi anywhere, and their fish was easily forgettable. The staff wasn't very nice either, I know you're busy, but at least don't leave the table while were ordering! Overall, if you're in town a short time I'd say it's not worth your time.

  • Cara B.

    We had the best dinner at 808 Bistro in Kihei. I had the Sunset Special: a salad with apple-curry dressing, pork chops (with amazing mashed potatoes and stuffing) and their famous bread pudding with whiskey sauce for desert. There are several options to choose from for the $25 Sunset Special which is served between 5-6pm. The others enjoyed the Chicken Cordon Bleu and Short Rib Pot Pie. My sister and I opted to walk home to help all that food digest better. I definitely over-ate. But it was very good. We will be back!

  • Sum D.

    I only went here once for dinner, but it was a pleasant experience. The lighting was pretty, the service decent and the food was good value for money, especially in Maui. Just one cautionary piece of advice; don't get the bread pudding for dessert. :)

  • H P.

    Well prepared bistro food in an open air setting at good prices with helpful service. Plus you bring your own wine. We had the mahi mahi prepared two different ways, good salads, and a lava bar dessert. Yum. It is good to see former Four Seasons people make it on their own. I will be back again for more good eats.

    This place was awesome. Very low key. Food was comparatively cheap but excellent! The banana bread French toast was melt in your mouth good. The herb scrambled eggs are made with fresh basil and parsley. Nice outdoor patio with surrounding tall trees and nice view of the ocean across the street. Very satisfied!

    808 Bistro was recommended by one of the travel agents in Kihei. We went because we saw the rating on Yelp and because we could take our own wine without getting charge a corkage fee. We had an excellent time. I had the pork chops; the chops were juicy and everything that came with it made the dish. He had mahi mahi with the tomato buerre blanc. Was good but nothing to write home about. What we enjoyed best is the baked crab dip appetizer. Must have if you love seafood. The setting was really nice too. We loved sitting in the open with the lights hanging above us. Go to 808 Bistro if you're in Maui.

  • Donna W.

    Such high quality food at reasonable prices! My favorite is the sides on the boneless pork chops - the Portuguese sausage stuffing is so buttery and the ragout of eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes is flavorful -and I'm a carnivore! So much food had to take leftovers home. The other pork dish with the cannelloni beans were ok, but I was still drooling over the other pork dish. Lamb Wellington was good, too. Great it is BYOB since it keeps prices down, too. Promised the manager I will eat my way through the menu.

  • Gail W.

    From my phone call for reservations to our departure the service was personable and efficient. The food was excellent. We shared a most tasty Caesar Salad, I had the Pork and Beans. The Pork tenderloin was a very generous portion, moist, tender and full of flavor. Served on a bed of Cannenlini beans topped with spinach. My husband had theFlatiron Steak with a Gorgonzola cream sauce, done just the way he requested. We topped it off by sharing the very generous dessert, Lava... a creation of warm, googey chocolate, macademia nuts, in a brownie like form. Served with a Kona Mud Pie ice cream. I can say that we have a great "date night" and will eat here again...

  • Ericka S.

    This was an awesome find for those looking for great food, romantic ambiance, at real people's prices! The food was delicious! We enjoyed the crab-ful crab dip, Mahi trio, flatiron steak & pork chops in the couple times we dined there. All were prepared to perfection! The first time we dined there I ordered the small garden salad to start. It was surprisingly small, but tasty with a walnut vinaigrette. The second time we dined there I got the chopped salad to start. Probably the best salad I had on our whole vacation!! No joke! The ambiance was romantic, although without a full ocean view, looking over a nice lawn and tropical garden setting. The menu was a little limited, offering only a handful of options, but they're all yummy! We haven't tried breakfast there yet, but it sounds fabulous! They gave us a coupon for their Banana Bread French Toast! Yum!! :). Hope to squeeze it in on our way to the airport!! ;)

    We were happy to come across this review on Yelp. We were really happy with this restaurant. It has only been open for 6 months and it isn't listed in guidebooks, etc yet. -Quiet outdoor ambiance that was pleasantly unexpected in the location it was in, it had a nice view of a garden and even a bit of an ocean view. It was a very nice view at sunset. This was a nice change for Kihei. -Casual elegance. -Great, well prepared food that is reasonably priced. Everyone in our party of 9 was very happy with their meals. -Attentive waitstaff and management that was very patient with our large party and multitude of special requests-birthday cake, special diets, 2 kids, etc. -They still don't have their liquor license, so it is still BYOB- which was great for us. We loved bringing our own wine and beer! -Don't let the location deter you. It may seem like it's hard to find or in a strange location, but it is actually a very nice setting in the back of the building. Head over to 808 Bistro while in Kihei. You won't be disappointed!

    Love this place. One year later we're back to Maui and right back to 808 Bistro. Still there, same great food and great server -- yo Leah from Washington, shout out to you, nice to see you again! With the exception of one night, I have tried to have a fish dish every night of our 10-day stay, so though I might have liked to try the pork chop or the short ribs, I opted for the Mahi Mahi with the orange vermouth preparation -- very fine. My husband had the pork tenderloin and beans -- also terrific. I had the chopped salad which was super. We again this year dined at some really high-end places on the island but all in all really love this place and out trip wouldn't be complete without a stop here. Last year gave it a 4-star review, this year bumped it up to the max because I thought the dessert offerings had improved and what I had was great - Hawaiian bread pudding. Also love the ambiance of this funky little place; I feel like we're in someplace in the middle of the jungle. They also do a great breakfast -- if we have time we will partake before we head for the airport. Keep up the good work you all! See you next year.

    Food was pretty good here. I ordered the pork chop which I thought was good. A few others in my party weren't as happy with their orders as I was so I'm not sure if their dishes weren't as good or they just ordered the wrong things. Anyways, this place is bring your own beer/alcohol so remember to bring that if you desire. Service was good and I thought our waitress was nice.

    Banana bread French toast and the lox and bagels were so so not great. Were there at 9 and there were maybe 8 others in the restaurant but the service was slow and unfriendly. Did not even hear about specials until table next to us wer told about them. Going back to kihei cafe tomorrow

    This was a fabulous meal, everything was delicious and the portions were huge. We had a butternut squash soup which was amazing and then my husband had the short ribs (really good) and I had the pork chop (also really good). We brought home the leftovers for lunch the following day. It was BYOB, so we brought a bottle of champagne to celebrate our first anniversary and there is no corkage fee. They just opened in January and are waiting for their liquor license to come through, at which point they will have a full bar available. The food as a little heavy, but it was delicious and the restaurant was super cute and comfortable and the service was terrific.

    Great food, imaginatively prepared; warm welcome; friendly, attentive service -- all at extremely reasonable prices. As of now, there is no beer or wine license, but then again, there is NO corkage charge, so bring your own wine! Wonderful little place -- highly recommended!!!

  • Lori A.

    WOW! We made the trip down from Kaanapali for dinner near the end of our stay. This place is tucked back from the main drag so it takes a little looking to find but so worth it. We had a nice table with a view of the water. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We started with the Goat cheese appetizer, it came with candied pecans, grapes and mango chutney..so good, the wedge of cheese was huge. I would come back for this alone. We shared a side caesar salad and then had the pork and white beans and short rib entrees. They were both so good, very tasty with nice layers of flavors. We opted for the banana macadamia nut foster which I would not order again but we saw other desserts that looked great. It is BYOB which is a price saver, bring your own wine or beer and save some extra money! Our entire meal was less than $80 a real bargain anywhere especially on Maui. We were stuffed! The owner came around to each table to make sure everyone was enjoying their meal, a nice touch. By far the best meal we have had on Maui in all of our six vacations. We were only sorry we weren't staying closer this time as we would have returned many times. I would highly recommend this spot and hope the word gets out so they can reap the rewards from their efforts.

    best place to eat on maui. I have been vistiing my favorite auntie and she brought me to this gem. Now i have been to Maui many times and have had some great meals, but this was the bees knees in all ways possible. with outside seating with ocean views you cant go wrong. now although i was at dinner with my aunt and frown upon incest, this was a very romantic spot for a nice dinner. Being from southern California and always wanting to look my best, the lighting did wonders, but it wasn't overly sultry just perfect. ok. so moving forwards through aesthetics . our waitress was cute and bubbly, we had brought our own wine which she promptly uncorked. they have a small menu, but you know what they say about small things. i ordered the coconut carrot curry soup with creme frache, which was To die for, the creme was drizzeled on in a way that looked like it spelled out sars. which was funny to me, as i have a weird sense of humor. hahahah. anyways, for my main meal i scored the Short Rib Pot Pie. a heartys stew type yumness with a puff pastry crust. hearty and amazing. comfort food in a new way even. My aunt had the Maui Chicken Cordon bleu. I did not taste it but she enjoyed it, however she enjoyed mine more. The dessert was a awesome maui bananas foster with mac nuts and vanilla bean ice cream, althogh they did not catch it on fire at the table it was still killer, there other dessert choices sounded equally as amazing as well, which is something i like in a small bistro. sometimes these types of places only have one great dessert item and the rest can be rather ho-hum, but no 808 bistro, next time i go i will get the lava brick ( go eat their to find out what that slice of awesome is) And again my waitress was way nice and one of the owners ( the other owner was the chef) kept talking to us, and you can really tell they take pride in not only what they make but ambiance as well as service. top notch. the best part, and kindest was i forgot my camera at the table and the owner came sprinting out to find me to return it way out in the parking lot. I thought that was an awesome gesture as my camera is kinda expensive and also for the fact he did it himself and didnt send the hostess or a waitress. I like that in a business owner and i hope 808 bistro stays open for a long time so i can come here and enjoy the place. so in conclusion. nice spot. great view great lighting hot funny but classy waitstaff enthusiastic management awesome chef which means-- awesome food. so if you are in maui and staying in the kihei area, go check this place out.

    I give 4 stars because the food wasn't as good or original as I expected. I had the crab cake eggs Benedict. My husband had the steak and eggs. The location is cool very relaxed and casual. We walked in grabbed a menu and sat ourselves. There was also a sign that says BOYB with a 3$ corking fee. Our waiter was super nice and attentative and gave us a discount for getting my husband the wrong kind of eggs. I would go here if you want a chill meowing with a Denny's island feel.

  • Jae Z.

    We wanted to try Kihei Caffe but didn't have cash (didn't realize there was an ATM) so instead I made the poor choice of coming here (a few others in our group tried Kihei Caffe and enjoyed it but who knows maybe it would've been the same). By our last day, I've figured out that the tourists really set the bar for food in Maui which is to say most people vacationing here from the mainland have pretty terrible taste. The restaurant is attached to a dingy parking lot in the back of a Mexican restaurant. The deck itself has an obscured ocean view. The menu is dominated by eggs Benedict. I really want to commission a sociology study of why the eggs Benedict is such a universally in demand item because the appeal is never in the eggs and sauce for me (in theory the main ingredients). Among all the choices, I settled for the crab cake Benedict (lesser of the boring evils on the menu). The hash browns was pretty bland. The eggs were cooked perfect for a Benedict but the sauce was kinda thick and clumpy. Not into it. Boyfriend ordered pancakes off the kids menu (which we had to ask about because it wasn't listed anywhere on the menu) and a side of bacon which came in two sad strips. Lastly, just to comment on the "best coffee I've had in Maui" in an earlier review: that's probably more of a testament to the other coffee the reviewer had than a proper assessment of the coffee here.

    This place was awesome! Discovered 808 bistro on one of our last days in Maui and ate our last two consecutive meal here as well (dinner, then next day- brunch & dinner). Their brunch is delicious and dinner did not disappoint as well. Great prices and delicious food! Our favorite restaurant for the value on the island. Also- it's BYOB so if you're looking to drink (alcohol) don't forget to grab beverages nearby. I saw some people turn away from here when they realized they don't serve alcohol, but thought it was such a shame because their food was delicious.

    Great breakfast for a great price! We've been paying an arm and a leg for not so great food on our trip to Maui, so we're happy to say this was one of the better places! We ordered the Two Egg breakfast with hash browns and the banana bread French toast. The French toast was a little soft, but decadent and yummy. The ambience is nice too. The bistro is tucked back behind a Mexican restaurant/bar but you can still see the ocean.

  • Pelly C.

    Great food and good size portions. Excellent service. The curry omelet had a nice lite curry flavor. For those who like loco mocos, a must try is the whale pie. Brown gravy over a over medium egg, thick slice of ham, and a bed of hash browns. Banana bread lovers will enjoy the melt in your mouth french toast banana bread.

  • Emi H.

    Don't bother looking at the menu and just order the banana bread french toast! If you've got a sweet tooth you are going to get your nom on the fluffiest banana bread you'll ever had the pleasure of devouring! Add some powdered sugar and syrup to the mix and BOOM, your mind has been blown. Other than the banana bread french toast I also ordered a standard American breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. It wasn't anything spectacular, although I'd like to note they have very good quality bacon. Service at 808 Bistro was excellent as well but the property itself is a bit rundown and that might take the romance out of your Maui experience.

  • Zhailah G.

    Excellent service. Excellent food. I had a basic egg and bacon breakfast but I also ordered the Banana bread French toast which was great!!!! The ambiance is very very nice. Located on the lower level of a local business plaza, which is just a short walk down and you are greeted with a spectacular site. The restaurant is nestled within tropical palms and plants and there is also a decent view of the ocean. Definitely a place to visit for good food and a good time with family &/or friends.

    We came here for breakfast and enjoyed a delicious meal. The breakfast menu was limited but we ordered the banana bread French toast (SO good), crab Benedict, and veggie omelet. Our favorite was the banana bread French toast! The coffee was very delicious! Service was good but a bit slow. I am now understanding that island life is much more lax than the mainland so that may be it. The location is off the main road, so you need to follow the signs back so you don't miss it!

    Decided to try something new for breakfast before hitting the beach. Saw the good rating for 808 on yelp and as usual the masses did not lie. Great cafe tucked away and easy to miss but don't! I opted for the really non-heart healthy whale pie. Sweet baby Jesus was it good. My wife went the healthy route with fruit plate that was so fresh and good with incredible banana bread. We both loved 808

    Great breakfast in Kihei! Hidden in the back of a non-descript strip mall - different than 808 Deli. This is a sit down place with excellent breakfast choices at a reasonable price. 5 stars for the BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST ($4 for one slice, $7 for two, $9 for three slices). As amazing as it sounds! Delicious freshly made moist flavorful banana bread. Lightly dipped and French toast-ed. I gobbled both slices up - yum yum! My husband got the WHALE PIE which was their take on loco moco. Just the right size portion without being ridiculously too much. Will definitely be back. It's also open for dinner but BYOB. Parking : small private lot.
