Tantalizing menu and sunset views at Makena’s Molokini Bar & Grille

If you are looking for something on the lighter side try the Molokai Potato Fried Lobster Salad, a favorite among seafood lovers and salad fans alike, the salad is prepared with fresh hydroponic greens, blueberries, Edamame, Avocado, Baby Tomatoes, Maui Onion, Baby Mache drizzled with Big Island Vanilla Citrus Vinaigrette, then topped with deep fried succulent half lobster tail wrapped up with Molokai Sweet Potato Curl.

In the mood for something of the Western comfort variety? Try the South Maui BBQ Ribs, a rack of ribs braised in a southern style broth infused with smoky chipotle peppers, then given a mouthwatering dry rub before being grilled over an open flame.  And if your taste buds aren’t intrigued enough, the ribs are then basted with Makena’s own southern style BBQ sauce, served with Kula grown corn on the cob, blue cornbread infused with fresh jalapenos and a side of barracho beans.

This kitchen is known for fresh takes on such favorites like the traditional Hawaiian favorite Macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi but infusing it with cilantro. Try instead a seasoned and seared mahi topped with a crust made of cilantro stems and macadamia nuts infused with ginger, garlic, jalapenos, lime juice and seed oil; served over a citrus red quinoa and a medley of seasonal baby vegetables from the resort garden sautéed in a lemongrass beurre blanc. A taste sensation that you taste buds will thank you for.

On Saturday nights, Molokini Bar & Grille brings the flavors of the East to the shores of Makena. The popular Saturday night buffet, newly named "An Asian Affair," features traditional dishes from all of Asia's multi-faceted and vibrant cultures.

Start off your dinner with traditional Japanese favorites such as miso butterfish, chicken karaage and tempura shrimp. Then travel to the Asian continent and sample the robust flavors of Chinese cooking with fresh dim sum and noodles or the fiery and savory dishes of Korean cooking like Kal-bi beef and house-made pickled vegetables. Head south to the islands of Southeastern Asia where tantalizing spices and fresh island ingredients create a melting pot of flavors that vary from Indian curries, to the aromatic coconut infused cuisine of Thailand, or sweet rice-based dishes of Cambodia and then finishing off with the Spanish influenced cookery of the Philippines. It is a culinary trip of discovery you will not soon forget.
