My wedding party of 15 attended this in June. It was really great. Too much food, but all of it was good. The waiters were really nice. Good show. Quaint setting.
Was it 'worth it'? I personally wouldn't have paid that much to go...but it's not that much more than the Old Lahaina Luau (which was sold out for 3 weeks when we were there).
Depends which type of event you prefer -- neither one is cheap and both are highly rated.

I prefer the Old Lahaina Luau. Bigger than the Feast, but more and better dancing IMHO and better facilities.
I've been to both several times and both are good. Just think the Old Lahaina one is better. They are both run by the same company.

Agreed. Old Lahaina is such a great setting near the water. I believe the feast at lele is also on the water but the Old Lahaina Luau is produced on a larger property with nice views. Good food, great show.
Unfortunately I was overserved at Old Lahaina and I cannot recall all of the details.

I've recently done both. I think the Feast is a little higher class. It's not a buffet, they serve you at the table, which is nice. They serve you courses from four of the region's islands in conjunction with a show from that same island. The food is quite good and the variety is interesting. Tables are smaller and the seating is more comfortable. It's also a little more intimate venue.
Like Old Lahiana, it's also on the water with beautiful sunset views.
If I were to take someone to one or the other, I'd choose the Feast.

You could always stay at the Lahaina Shores Beach Resort next door to the Feast at LeLe and watch the show from your balcony, as we did last year. The food was pretty good (we prepared it ourselves) and much cheaper than either The Feast or The Luau. There is also a fairly good mid-priced restaurant called Hecock's that has a terrace that overlooks the Lele grounds where you can watch the show. We did attend the Old Lahaina Luau one night...the show was pretty good but I thought the buffet was fairly lame. I guess I'm glad I went to see it, but I wouldn't bother going again.

It would be a shame as we have had great meals here in the past (reasonably priced, as mentioned) and love the view. And it's quiet at lunch...tucked away down South of the main "action" of central Front Street, in the back of a Shopping Plaza.
