Feast at Lele was definitely one of the more enjoyable experiences while I was in Maui. I had planned to go to the Old Lahaina Luau and was a little dissapointed when I found out it was fully booked the week I was there. As a recommendation from the hotel I stayed at they mentioned the next best thing was the Feast at Lele. Although the price was a little high at $110 per person I thought the fact it was more private than other luaus as you get your own private table and a five course dinner instead of sitting with other strangers and eating a buffet I decided to take it. Another major advantage is that there is less people in attendance compared to other luaus making it feel very exclusive.
I was not dissapointed one bit. One thing I did not realize was that it was open bar. The Mai Tai's offered upon first entering were subpar but the rest of the drinks throughout the night were phenominal. You can even order margaritas or other blended drinks even if they are not listed on the menu. This is a major plus if you plan on sampling the many mixed drinks, wines and beers listed on the menu.
Although not out of this world the food was still very good and appetizing. It really depends on ones tastes but you get a variety of everything from mahi mahi, shrimp, pork and beef dishes. A good mixture of everything.
The service was excellent including a waitress for drinks and also the food. They did a great job at explaining the 5 different courses and presenting the food. One thing to note is that gratuity is not included in the price of the Feast at Lele but the servers do a really good job and deserve a decent tip.
The entertainment was also superb. When I was younger I had attended the Royal Lahaina Luau and I felt the entertainment at Feast at Lele was a little more exclusive and more impressive.
I would definitely recommend the Feast at Lele if you are traveling with a girlfriend or on a honeymoon as it is more private with a beautiful setting. Although a bit costly to purchase, I would recommend having the professional photographer take your picture as he took a perfect picture of my girlfriend and myself with the sunset in the background.
Although I may sound cheap, one tip to avoid paying for parking before going to the luau is to park on the corner of Prison and Front st. This is free three hour parking if you can find a spot.
