Ka‘ana Kitchen in the Andaz Maui is a stunning restaurant with an equally stunning view, serving up family-style, farm-to-table dishes (ka‘ana means "to share").
We were very fortunate to have been treated to a wonderful, hosted tasting menu, allowing us to enjoy a variety of dishes in four courses.

Watermelon Salad |
The Watermelon Salad was simple in presentation, but still so pretty! Watermelon was served with Big Island Feta, Li Hing Mui, and Candied Walnuts.

Kula Beet Salad |
The Kula Beet Salad was served with Orange Goat Cheese, Kale, and a Cinnamon Mac Nut Granola. This was my choice for the first course, and tt was a refreshing salad. I enjoyed the added crunch from the crispy kale and the granola, which also balanced out the sweetness of the salad.

Wagyu Hanger Steak |
For the second Course, I chose the Wagyu Hanger Steak. I'm not much of a steak eater, but this was delicious! The cut was so flavorful and tender! It was served with a Green Papaya salad that complemented it nicely.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken |
For the third course, I opted for the Buttermilk Fried Chicken - because I couldn't resist fried chicken and waffles! The chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly - super crispy on the outside, and juicy and tender on the inside, and I thought the Black Sesame Mochi Waffle was an ideal, chewy complement.

Short Rib Fettuccine |
I couldn't resist trying the Fettuccine - which was absolutely divine (and the short rib so soft!).

Seared Scallops |
I had to try the scallops too, and although I thought they were great, I liked the accompanying pork belly even more!
I don't know how we made it to dessert, but we did, and of the two we had, I favored the Chocolate Decadence Torte, because I just love chocolate!

Chocolate Decadence Torte |
It was indeed rich and decadent! The Sorbet is perfect for those who prefer fruity, lighter desserts.

Lilikoi Sorbet |
Dinner at Ka‘ana Kitchen was fantastic, and I highly recommend it when in the Wailea area!
