The Makena Beach & Golf Resort culinary team, under the direction of Executive Chef Marc McDowell, is driven by the desire to infuse traditional culinary arts into the dining experience at all four of the Makena Beach & Golf Resort’s fine Maui restaurants. Their mantra is “fresh, fresh, fresh” and they have a make-everything-from-scratch attitude. A certified Master Gardener, Chef McDowell brings “make everything from scratch” goodness to the kitchen. New herb gardens have already sprouted and plans for an aquaponic garden to grow fresh lettuce, other vegetables, and fish on property are already in the works.  Every meal is a momentary expression of Makena’s high standards of flavor, quality and consistency.

Expect the unexpected in your Maui dining adventures at Makena Beach & Golf Resort.
