    During our stay at the Four Seasons in Maui, one of our servers recommended we check out the Kai Bar at the AC Hotel, and I'm so glad we did! The food was fantastic, with the poke bowl standing out as one of the best dishes we had all week. We also loved the kalbi ribs, Kai pork ribs, and French fries. The drinks were equally impressive, with the Maui G&T and the Kai Bar QI quickly becoming our favorites. The setting was absolutely stunning - sitting at the bar with those incredible ocean views made for a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend!

    Celebrated my birthday at happy hour, Mark the bartender was fabulous! Actually everyone did an outstanding job with prompt service, excellent food and drinks making it a birthday to remember. We are locals and can't believe we didn't know this jewel was practically in our backyard. Think I have a new favorite place for a fun evening out. Poke was exceptional and the best onion rings!!! Live music on a Wednesday along with the sunset view, looking forward to our next night out.

    I don't usually review after one visit but this place is special and deserves to have more than one yelp review. So we only went there for happy hour (3-6) and sunset. The vibe is delightful, views expansive, and the barstools comfortable and roomy. The latter is more difficult to find than one would think. The design of the place and furnishings are top notch. We were treated to live music and the acoustic guitarist actually played Hawaiian music which is also more difficult to find than one would imagine. The cocktails are expensive (14$) for a maui gin and tonic (FY gin!) but the beers are reasonable, and they have local beers on tap for $5.00. We didn't try any pupus but they had the full range from greasy offerings to a poke bowl. The bartenders were fun and the 99% hotel guests were there for a good time. We saw whales and a fabulous sunset. This is definitely on my HH rotation.
