In the heart of pineapple and sugar cane farms, the Haliimaile General Store serves up great cooking in a local atmosphere. The food is excellent, with both comfort food and innovative creations available for those that who want to dine a little differently. We split the difference - my appetizer beet terrine (innovative) was terrific,with an intense beet flavor nestled... more

I have got to say that this is one of the best restaurants that I have ever eaten at, and I have eaten around the world. I wrote a detailed post in my blog on it at; http://danazia.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/lilikoi-passion-fruit-pudding-and-the-haiimaile-general-store/ If you don't have the patience to read it just remember to eat the sushimi napoleon and the Lilikoi Creme Brule.

I live on Maui and come here when I can. It's a bit out of the way from where I live, and where most people stay when visiting Maui, though it's worth the drive. There's good reason why Bev Gannon receives so many accolades for the menus she puts together. The food is great, the staff are all pleasant and... more

This is the only one of the $50+ dinners on this trip to Maui that I would recommend. The food was excellent, the service and ambiance was excellent. more

We had high expectations but this was our one disappointment of the trip. The atmosphere was cute - a remodeled old country store. The food was just ok -- the scallops were tough and the ahi was soaked in the the fruit sauce. The pork won-tons just didn't work for us either. It wasn't worth the drive to the out... more

The General Store boasts good fine dining in a casual atmosphere. The restaurant was built to resemble a general store so the kitchen is open with a large counter in front of it. The walls are built in shelves with all kinds of pottery and crockery that is for sale. But don't let the casual ambiance fool you - this... more

Friends recommended this restaurant as one of their favorites so we went for my birthday dinner. I give them points for trying to make some interesting combinations and presentations, but they miss the mark with most of them. The Sashimi Pizza was quite bland. It needed something to make it less lackluster like a wasabi and ginger dressing. The beet... more

Living in Manhattan and having no shortage of amazing restaurants, my husband and I admittedly have high food expectations. We were pretty disappointed with the options in Maui UNTIL we went to Haliimale General Store! If you're staying on West Maui, this restaurant is closer to the airport. We had a red eye back to NYC and wanted a good... more
