Unexpected Dining Experience
“After a long day traveling the Road to Hana, we stopped in Maalaea on the way home to our rental in Ka’anapali. We heard Oceanside was great. We were far from disappointed. Every dish was exceptional. We ended up traveling back to Maalaea just to have another meal. UNREAL!”
