Maui is known for its pristine beaches, stunning natural beauty, world-class luxury resorts, and tourist destinations. This picturesque island is also home to plenty of lush greenery, charming plantations, and mouthwatering restaurants. Located in Waikapu at the base of the West Maui Mountains is the Maui Tropical Plantation, a beautiful slice of paradise that is home to a restaurant so good, we would travel across the world just to visit. This is the Mill House Restaurant, and the photographs definitely don’t do this place justice.

Maui Tropical Plantation/Facebook Chef Jeff Scheer, who grew up in southeastern Ohio, has found his home on Maui after studying in fields and kitchens across California and Oahu. He has now created the ultimate “farm to table” restaurant, by growing and sourcing unique ingredients just yards away from his kitchen. The dining experience created is both endlessly creative and extremely unique - at least in Hawaii.

A year-round growing cycle and an abundance of local sustainable farms keep my mind stimulated and always looking to raise the bar and create something new,” executive chef Jeff Scheer.
