Arrived Friday after Thanksgiving... restaurant was only 25% occupied that evening (maybe everyone had Turkey hangover). I/O was rated highest in "Best Restaurants of Maui" guidebook. I ordered several notables, including an appetizer puff pastry dish and Crispy Ahi entree, and both were OK - but not as good as advertised. 2 people in our group had some sort of... more

We were originally planning on eating across the way at Pacifico's, but the tiny menu over there steered us to I/O. We were seated right away at a table right by the open window overlooking the ocean (even though it was the evening, I still liked it!). Our waiter was very helpful and attentive, answering all our questions and special... more

My husband and I visited Io to celebrate our tenth anniversary. We felt the staff went out of their way to make it a special evening. I had the crispy ahi and it was perftecly done, rare with just the right amount of spice. The sunset was perfect, the food was fresh. We even got to see a giant whole... more

Wife and I had a complete dinner meal, appetizer, main course, and desserts. I rate it average because they promote themselves as 5 star. not. Appetizer of scallops and mushrooms had sand or dirt in the dish. Kind of hard to prove it so kept the sand to ourselves. I had the I O trio, and the amount of pepper... more

The food was good but not great. The uber-Euro-decor didn't suit my taste, but you should sit outside, so maybe the point is moot. The view outside was wonderful. Don't trust the wait staff. I was glad that I asked the price of the special before I ordered it, because our waiter "accidentally" charged me for the previous day's $65... more

This restaurant boasts about its fresh vegetables and didn't deliver. Instead I found a huge dollop of mash potatoes on my plate, which I never would have ordered for dietary reasons, as well as some less than average tasting fish. My fiance's plate was less remarkable. The waitress, after denying there was anything wrong at first, confessed that they "must've... more

My husband and I splurged and hired a sitter for our children, we heard of Io through some friends back home. First of all the setting is right out of a "come to Hawaii movie", we were greeted with friendly knowledgeable service followed by a truly innovative quality culinary adventure! Our server was well informed of the cuisine and the... more

The title really says it all. My wife and I had the privilege of being served by the manager at I’O. He was very knowledgeable and informative about the wines and food. I recommend the tasting menu as you get to sample a wide variety of selections all paired with a wine to complement the dish. You can’t get any... more

We recently got back from our trip to Maui, and wanted to share our gem find as far as restaurants. Its called I'O, and it is right next to the feast at Lele and Pacific'O. The ambiance is quite romantic especially if you sit outside on the patio. We didn't mind the luau music next door and found it to... more

As vegetarians, we are quite picky about the food we eat. I'O did not disappoint. They said they could substitute any dish with fish, chicken with tofu. The beets appetizer is fantastic. For our entree, we had the crusted tofu with some type of cheese fondue it was very good. Also, I do not eat eggs, they had a flourless... more
