Maui Beach Hotel Rainbow Dining Room

Cold food in warmers, quality has since jumped off a cliff.

Went here because of the convenience after a long day. Food did not have labels.

Don't eat here! You will be disappointed. I ordered the Shrimp spaghetti with garlic bread. Garlic bread was burnt, the sauce for the dish was watery, Spaghetti was chewy.Egg Rolls were tiny! Like the size of a pinky. You'd expect better for the.price they were charging.. My friend ordered steak and shrimp, medium rare. Shrimp was overcooked, steak was cooked well done. Sent back steak, steak came back better but was medium. Who can't cook a steak? No steak Sauce! The ONE bottle of steak sauce 2as empty and they couldn't find another. Overall very disappointing. If we weren't so tired from flying, we would have happily walked 10 minutes to local restaurants!

Very nice large helpings of food. Very competitive prices compared to Honolulu. Not like other restaurants here in Maui. Which are outrageous and small portions I recommend this place. Pork adobo is number one. Broke the mouth.

No alcohol was served when we dined here in 2021. That would've been nice to know at the time of reservations which they failed to mention as we definitely would've made other plans as we were celebrating a birthday, not having a church dinner. Hello!? EXPERIENCE: We were informed of the slap-in-the-face news by a family member who arrived at the restaurant ahead of us. While we could've done BYOB (told to us after-the-fact) with a $2/person charge, we were already on our way with the celebrant and didn't want to be delayed even more. We were immediately greeted by the gal at the host stand to who I asked why their bar was closed. She referred me to a gentleman who was on his way to greet us and who I assume was the restaurant manager. He stated that due to COVID, they thought it'd be best to pause alcohol sales. Fine, but guests should be told that up front. Tables were spaced apart and the buffet is no longer self-serve. While understandable, the buffet experience is marred by having to deal with someone to assist you with your selections. Good thing they weren't busy as there were only two people assisting behind the buffet. Dishes and silverware have been replaced by eco-unfriendly paper plates and plastic utensils. Pitchers of water are left in the middle of the tables and replenished frequently. The dessert table has been replaced with a self-serve freezer doling out ice cream bars, sandwiches and popsicles. BUFFET: *Fried rice - spouse loved it even if it looked pale & simple *Chow mein - very good *Prime rib - I think it was prime rib but whatever it was, was very fatty and chewy; avoid *Chicken - battered & deep-fried; very good *Fish - baked filets that were tender & tasty *Salad - romaine with just olives as a topping choise; 3 dressings; I chose ranch which tasted like nasty Hidden Valley *Shrimp tempura - these were the short, stubby version with the smooth batter vs. the long pieces with the "rough" batter; still good *Corned beef - it looked like roast pork due to its dark color and was finished with gravy; very odd preparation SERVICE: We were checked on quite often and thanked on our way out. Great job. OVERALL: Selections have lessened but what was served was still good. $25/person is a fair deal.
