I love The Plantation House Restaurant in Kapalua. The views and relaxed open air atmosphere suits my shorts and golf shirt style. Too bad on this visit the Chef's Tasting Menu ($105 w/Wine) did not suit my style or taste. Where do I begin....from the Amuse Bouche to the Summer Fruit and Herb there was not much here that I liked however I did love the Fresh Bread with Honey Salted Butter. This may have been the best course on the menu. The Asparagus Vichyssoise was a puddle of Asparagus mush with a Curry Cake. You cannot call this a Crab Cake when all you can taste is the Curry. Why would you ruin the flavor of Crab with a bunch of Curry. If I wanted a Curry Cake I would have ordered a Curry Cake and not the Crab Cake. The Surfing Goat Cheese Dumpling was a mess on the plate. Really could not tell what it was but I really liked the flavor. When the waiter grated Truffles over the Dumplings I was so happy. Even more happy with the flavors. The Grilled New York Strip was three small pieces of steak that was not seasoned and tasted bland. I ate only about one and a half pieces of the steak. What really made this a bad meal for me was the dessert. Lemongrass Basil Sorbet with Grape Soup. Need I say more? It was uneatable for me.
Did like the wine pairing as it numbed me from the pain of some of these courses. Also liked the staff and service.
