The 45 best view restaurants in Maui

We had a wonderful experience at Mama‘s Fish House. Have been here before years ago. The view is unbeatable. Although we did not have reservations, we were able to easily walk in and only waited 10 minutes for a seat at the bar. Our bartenders Tom and Jordan made the best Mai tais and gin based cocktail. We shared crabcakes which were full of a large amount of delicious crab and served with roe on top. We also had the shrimp wontons with a macadamia nut dipping sauce. The lobster bisque had plenty of lobster chunks within it. The Hawaiian Onaga and ahi sashimi dish was amazing. So fresh and flavorful. Do not miss this. For dessert, we opted for the island fruit sorbet which was great, but next time I will definitely order the chocolate Polynesian black pearl. The only thing that could use some improvement is better Wi-Fi service within the restaurant. Overall, a great experience and something everyone should try if their budget and time allows. Try making a reservation in advanced here for sunset.

Mamma’s Fish House truly delivers on the experience — the food is fresh and beautifully prepared, the drinks are excellent, and the service is warm and attentive. Everything feels polished and full of aloha spirit. That said, the price point doesn’t quite match up — it’s definitely on the higher end, and some of the dishes feel a bit overpriced, which makes it seem more about the hype than pure value. Still, the overall experience, atmosphere, and views make it worth visiting at least once. It’s a Maui classic and a must-do spot on the island for anyone who wants to enjoy a memorable meal in a stunning setting.

Just finished a 5 day trip to Maui w my wife and this was an absolute highlight. One of the tougher reservations to get, booked ours far in advance, expectations were high — i was worried. After eating here & experiencing the service, I now understand what the hype is about. You can see this isn’t just a restaurant , it’s an institution & has this refined confidence about them — been here for years, they have perfected the service & food offering. Complimentary valet, a beautiful private beach, and a great ratio of staff to guests. My wife, 25 weeks pregnant & eats plant based, had many options curated for her & i can genuinely say, being from California where vegan food is plentiful, she’s never had more options at a traditionally seafood heavy restaurant than she did at mamas. 3 different entree’s, custom & thoughtful adjustments — our server maile made us feel comfortable from the minute we sat down. The Maui onion tomato salad w/ the 18 year balsamic is something I’ll be making in the future as it was just simple & executed perfectly — again, refined confidence. I also got the octopus dish that was well seasoned and had bright flavors to it - would recommend. There was a hiccup in my wife’s entree & it was handled superbly — immediately took the dish back, expedited a new dish, and when it came out, they gave me a sauce to rewarm my meal as they saw i waited for my wife’s food to come out. Just awareness you don’t see that often. I got the stuffed amberjack w crab & lobster w macadamia hit crust and it just blew me away — simply the best. We had such a good time we bought a t shirt !

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Dining Experience of the Year From the moment we arrived at Mama’s Fish House, everything felt special. Valet parking was seamless, we were warmly greeted, and our hostess led us to a beautiful booth with a stunning ocean view. To celebrate our honeymoon, the restaurant even placed a personalized placard at our table — such a thoughtful touch. Despite being one of the busiest restaurants on the island, the atmosphere at our table was calm, relaxed, and perfectly timed. Drinks never sat empty, dishes arrived with precision, and if the staff felt rushed, we would have never known it. The service was flawless — warm, attentive, and truly seamless. The food? Absolutely spectacular. Every bite was fresh, creative, and perfectly prepared. From start to finish, you could tell this was fine dining at its peak, but still carried that casual, beachside warmth that makes it feel authentically Maui. Reservations are a must — we booked three months in advance, and it was more than worth it. Even though it took us an hour to drive there from where we were staying, I would happily make that drive every day if it meant dining here again. If you’re visiting Maui or have something special to celebrate, Mama’s Fish House is the place. This is the pinnacle of what dining should be: thoughtful, welcoming, delicious, and unforgettable. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

We had multiple friends recommend Mama’s when we said we were going to Maui. I was a little worried it might be overrated after seeing some comments on Facebook, but it was not overrated. I was contacted a couple days before the reservation to ask my husband’s name (so they could put it on the card on our table). There is mandatory valet parking. Every person that greeted us after valet congratulated us for our honeymoon. We were given a table right by the window with a stunning view. You are given bread & soup shot. For an appetizer, we ordered the crispy kanpachi collar. For entrees, we ordered the Mama's Ahi And Mahi-Mahi Curry & Hawaiian Kanpachi With Lobster And Crab In A Macadamia Nut Crust. We did not have any room for dessert. No, the food was not cheap, but it was absolutely delicious & is a lot of food. The waiter was so nice to take a few photos of us. The restaurant is also by a cute beach & we were able to see a sea turtle! I definitely would recommend Mama’s to anyone coming to Maui!

Spectacular on all levels. The views, the walk into the restaurant, the decor inside and of course the food and service was top notch. It was a meal of a lifetime and definitely an expensive but well worth it endeavor. Thank you for one of the best meals we have ever had.

I have no idea why this restaurant isn’t rated five stars already. What caught my attention right away was the incredible service—warm, friendly, and attentive to every detail. The staff made us feel welcomed like family. And then the food… absolutely out of this world. The Mahi Mahi curry and the Ahi with Charred pineapple was truly chef’s kiss. Easily the best meal I’ve had in Maui—flavorful, perfectly prepared, and unforgettable. After our meal, they surprised us with refreshing cold towels, which felt amazing, and even offered complimentary valet parking. What more can you ask for? This restaurant truly goes above and beyond.

Stopped by Hula Grill Kāʻanapali to catch the sunset and enjoy a drink and a bite. The vibe here is great — a big, lively restaurant that’s clearly very popular on the west shore of Maui. I ordered the ceviche and the fish & chips. The ceviche was fresh and tasty, but it’s a small portion, really just enough for one person. The fish & chips were okay, nothing particularly memorable. Overall, it’s a fun spot to grab a drink and some food while watching the sunset, but don’t come expecting an outstanding dining experience — the atmosphere is the main highlight here.

Service was quick and friendly. Our server was nice and we talked about our tattoos. No wait to get in. We had the kapulu joe which was a sweet pulled pork sandwhich and ahi poke bowl. Both were delicious. Prices were pretty reasonable. It is located at whaler's village so the area is pretty happening during the day. It was pretty relaxed vibe with live music playing cover songs on the ukulele. It is definately a good spot to stop and grab lunch if you are shopping in the village or coming g back from a fishing or snorkeling outing.

This is my fourth visit to Maui and each time I've made a trip to the Hula Grill for great meals either by myself or without others. This time I'm visiting while attending a women's conference close to the Hula Grill. We arrived in Maui on late Friday morning and headed over to the restaurant from the airport. I had a reservation for five, we had a wonderful lunch and lucky us, we were comped a wonderful Alaskan style dessert, delicious. This evening our group had grown to 10 and I booked the 5p time slot before realizing we would need an additional :30 - :45 minutes. So on our lunch break I drove over and spoke to the hostess re a later arrival and she said yes, we might have a short wait but ok. Around 5:15 p I received a text, then a call to confirm and I let them know we were on our way. A group of 5 in each car, our first group arrived about 5:30p and the others in our party were following. Our waiter Matty, appeared and took our order for drinks, then expressed concern about the other 5 in our group. His attitude became more edgy as the minutes went by, after :15 minutes 4 more arrived and Matty appeared relieved. Our remaining member arrived and full on service finally was underway. However the waiter attitude situation never really improved, such a disappointment. He needs to be consistent in his behavior as a server. Our final bill was over $1000 including tax and tip. The food was great, the atmosphere was excellent especially since most were first time diners @Hula Grill they were very happy. Maybe Matty was having an off-night because as we were taking photos he offered to take our group shots.

Great atmosphere! A little loud , but there is a lot going on! Service was good , order a filet mignon which was good , the mashed potatoes were just okay , shrimp was perfect ! Overall we had a great experience! Probably would have order the fish next time !

I tried everything on the table so here’s my extensive opinion 😂 Drinks: go for the mango mezcal cocktail, it’s the best. The lychee martini was very sweet so if you don’t like sweet go for something else! Very solid Caesar salad 👌 like a remarkably good Caesar salad. Seafood potstickers were better than the pork ones, both good but if you’re deciding between them go with the seafood ones. Pork was shredded just fyi! The salmon sashimi was melt in your mouth. Ahi steak was fantastic, as was the pork shank. Didn’t love the macadamia nut mahi mahi. Great atmosphere and always a good time!

As you see from one of my pictures there’s half cheeseburger, our waitress know what we was planning we picked one entree and one appetizer to share, I personally can’t eat much so I don’t like the feeling of overeating. So she asked us if we wanted the burger to be cuts in half and of course I said yes if that’s possible. I told our waitress that I don’t want cheese on the burger but it’s served with cheese but luckily I can scraped out pretty good from my burger, I’m not allergic to it I just don’t like the taste of the cheese. The Hula burger was really tasty.. we both really liked it, it was perfect! Coconut calamari was so so, not really a fan of it. Then we tried the Hula Pie, the Hula Pie was amazing! Our waitress was Amber F, at first impression she seems cold and a bit unfriendly but at the halfway through the end on our late lunch I found her she’s a sweetheart! Turns out I really happy and like her personality 🤙🏼

Overall: 2.5 Subpar, overpriced food. Solid service and atmosphere. Went twice since it was very close to where we were staying and that was plenty. Won't be back on our visit; too many other better places. Food: 2 stars. During our first visit, we had the lobster tails and broccolini, then had the hula pie. Lobster was good. Not a fan of the Hawaiian-style rice but was pretty standard. Broccolini had too much lemon flavor. Hula pie was 3.5 stars but not big on sweets, just had to try. In the 2nd visit, we tried the Thai chicken flatbread. It was very sweet and the chicken tasted like canned chicken with some fish flavor. Maybe fish was cooked along with canned chicken... not sure, but we sent back. Had cheeseburger with Caesar salad. Salad was actually very good. The crunchy stuff on top and their Caesar dressing was unique and very tasty. Burger tasted like spam and was very subpar. Drinks: 2 stars. Weak cocktails. Below average flavor. OK beer selection- lavaman was solid; one of Maui Brewing's best beers. Service: 4 stars. Waitress was on top of things. Didn't wait too long for anything. She was likeable and respectful. When we returned pizza in 2nd visit, they were very nice and understanding. Atmosphere: 4 stars. Live music was great first night: soothing classic songs, good voice and vibe; had a hula dancer. Music in 2nd visit was ok. Sunset over beach was very nice. They lit tiki torches around sunset also. Great vibe. Had bar and barefoot sand area. Didn't sit in main dining area. Not a lot of TVs to watch sports outside but not sure about in main dining area. Price: 2 stars. Overpriced even a bit for Hawaii.

We dined here on our honeymoon and we loved the experience! The ambiance of the restaurant was really fun and it was cool to see all the various cocktails and things on the menu. We got truffle fries and some type of ravioli to start… loved the fries but would not recommend the ravioli. It was a weird texture and overpoweringly cheesy. The drinks and margaritas pizza were great, too! We came for happy hour and our waiter was great! We did feel a little forgotten about at the end of our meal, but it was starting to pick up a ton by that time as it transitioned to dinner time.

A beautiful restaurant with delicious locally themed dishes and a staff that is efficient, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant is comfortably decorated in a modern tropical theme. Tables and booths are available and are spaced so that you're not on top of other visitors. A large bar offers comfortable counter service. Tables are also available on an outside patio. We have never needed to make reservations. However, during busier times of the year and for large groups it would probably be smart to make arrangements. A free parking lot is available adjacent to the restaurant.

Awesome! The food and drinks were very very good. Sydney was our bartender and she couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The drinks were great and unique, including a house made vanilla cream on the espresso martini. Food was outstanding and the unexpected amazing corn bread. Must try if you are in this area or within striking distance.

My husband and I were in Maui last week for our honeymoon and we came to Monkeypod twice during our stay. The first night I got the famous mai tai and it was delicious. I’m not even really a fan of sour/sweet cocktails, but the foam on this one really made it special and more decadent. We tried several items, but we especially loved the sashimi tacos, beef bulgogi tacos, and the gyoza. All were exceptional! If we are ever back in Maui we will definitely come back again!

Great foodie spot in Maui for anyone wanting a solid, flavor packed meal! I had many fiends recommend trying Monkeypod on top of the local reputation this place carries. I highly encourage everyone to make a reservation as this place gets booked up very quickly, even on a weekday. For those without a reservation, I heard the hostess tell someone it would be over an hour before getting seated. (Just a heads up!) The food was very good, overall! The entrees in particular. I had the bulgogi beef tacos and my partner ordered the gnocchi. Both were exceptional! The tacos were drizzled in a chile aioli, a fresh chile, and some crunchy veg. Truly one of the best tacos I’ve had in a really long time. At first I thought the dish was small for the price, but they’re packed and I left very full. My mouth still waters thinking about this meal! My partner who orders the gnocchi feels the same way. His dish was rich, filling, and balanced by the addition of veg. He said to me “oh, so this is how gnocchi are supposed to taste!” Once you’ve had these light, fluffy pillows you can’t go back to the rubbery version most restaurants serve. My partner also remarked he enjoyed this dish so much he’d be hard pressed to order or try anything else! However, we both felt the same about the tortilla soup - it was underwhelming. It was too spicy and not balanced by anything. It wasn’t super hot when severed and I’d not order it again. Given how great the entrees were this appetizer should be reconsidered or removed from the menu. The atmosphere is laid back, feels casual, and very loud. The evening we dined inside it was packed and I could barely hear my partner talk. If this bothers you then you walk may want to ask about outdoor dining. Also, due to how busy the night was, the staff tried turning tables over very quickly which lead to small missteps in service. For example, the guys busing the tables wiped food onto the seats and left it there for the next diner to clean or possibly sit on. On a brighter note, when I used the restroom I did witness a staff member wash their hands for a full minute and avoid touching the door handle upon exit! 🎉👏 Love seeing good hygiene practices! The service was great the entire evening. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, described the dishes in great detail, which was very helpful in making our menu selections. Overall, I’d highly recommend making a reservation and making Monkeypod part of your Maui visit! It was easily one of my favorite meals during the whole trip and I’d absolutely go back!

Overall good review. They will tell you to come on in without a reservation but expect a 30 min wait. When you go to buy a drink at the bar while you’re waiting the bartender will abruptly direct you to a line to order a drink which felt strange. I had the fish and chips which was very good. My wife had a pizza which was very limp and wet and wasn’t great but not horrible. Our waiter was outstanding once we got to our table. Their prices are very fair for the food, the drinks are a little pricey. And the Mai Tai is as good as rumored.

Great place! Just the kind of place we were looking for on our honeymoon that wasn’t going to kill us. We went during happy hour and it was so fun. Great service, great drinks and good food! No reservation (on a Monday) and got in after about 5 minute wait.

We really wanted to have a WOW experience after the recommendations and reviews but it fell a little flat for us. The atmosphere is nice, just a little bright. (Would be nicer if the lights were not so bright like a cafeteria.) The front staff was polite. We were seated on time. Our waiter was lackluster… not mean but certainly not friendly. The waiter barely greeted us and seemed overall disinterested in his job. The pork buns were good, not spectacular. The Look Moore Funn had one scallop and maybe three shrimps, the portion being pretty small but it did taste good. My daughter had the garlic noodles and they were super dry, she had to add soy sauce to give it any flavor and not make it so dry. My husband had the pad Thai, he liked it but a lot of noodles with little shrimp and chicken. We probably wouldn’t go back if we were to return to Hawaii.

When I first visited Hawaii, Star Noodle was one of my most memorable stops. I tried the Star Kim Chee, Steamed Pork Buns, and Singapore Noodles — each dish had such bold flavors and felt so comforting after a long day of exploring. I finished with Malasadas, and it was the perfect sweet ending. Such a special food experience to remember my trip by!

Lighting was very bright. While 8 appreciate being able to see my food and take pictures, it would have been nice to dim them just a little. However, food was absolutely fantastic and service was excellent. Host was exceptional, kept a smile and cool head while super busy. Kept those waiting for tables organized and sat in a timely manner. Hats off to her for helping this place run like a well oiled machine. Wish we were staying longer so we could go back and try more. Can't wait for our next trip to Maui.

This place takes noodles to the next level. The dishes are prepared with so much delicate texture and flavors. The tempura shrimp is amazing! The shrimp is super fresh. The most unique piece is the shiso sprouts to bring out the shrimp freshness. Noodles are definitely freshly made or it wouldn’t be so chewy to the taste, I wonder if they mixed bud weed with wheat so not your normal ramen. I would love to come back to dine here again! Superb!

Really wanted to like this place but reviews are pretty spot on about it being overpriced and underwhelming. Food for two and one mocktail came out to about ~$150 after tax and tip but I guess thats normal for mediocre meal in Hawaii. I would not order the garlic noodles, crab and kombucha mandu or the ahi belly again. The Lahaina fried soup was the only thing we really liked. Barely any crab in the mandu, only taste the kombucha. At $18 for 3 measley pieces, a bit of a waste. Ahi belly was also tiny and overcooked. Couldn't tell if it was just any old regular piece of tuna. I've had better garlic noodles at any other vietnamese spot that included either steak or shrimp. These were lacking in flavor and didnt like the thin noodle. Service was great though. Go for the Lahaina fried soup. You can skip everything else we ordered.

We loved Star Noodle so much, we went 3 times. We especially loved the garlic noodles and the Asian ribs (they go well together). We also loved the udon soup. We had reservations the first night (the ambience was perfect), the second time we got the soup for take out, and the 3rd time we were planning on take out, but they had room at the bar. So make reservations, but if you can’t get it, take it to go and find a nice spot to eat it.

What a wonderful meal, literally one of the best pieces of steak we’ve ever had! The food was delicious, the service was top notch and the location was just magnificent. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed their appetizers more than entrees. Ribs, carpaccio, and gyoza were all delicious. For main, we ordered spicy hotate roll, duck fried rice, and kushiyaki set. Kushiyaki set was a miss for us - didn’t like that super sweet sauce was smothered on every single one of the skewers and vegetables. Because of that everything just tasted sweet with no other flavors. The black pan that was used for serving those skewers was for presentation only, it didn’t keep the food warm at all. Ended the night with ube cheesecake, enjoyed that too. Given the reviews and the brand, I expected more.

Great ambiance. The staff was kind and friendly [0] Unfortunately, food quality was very disappointing. So their sticky bbq was great. However, 1. their sushi tasted a bit stale. Their Sake ( salmon ) and Sabe ( makarel ) in parituclar tasted like they were left in the sun for too long and just turned a bit bad. 2. Their cocktail, moritale(?), tasted like they forgot to add ingredients. It tasted straight up vodka with a hint of sake. This was our babymoon dinner, and didnt want to ruin it, so I didnt make any complaints. But sushi was too disappointing. [0] There was a small mishap for my order of 20 nigiri x 2 maki set. They mistakenly thought I ordered 10 nigiri set. When they brought it out, I told them about their original order and they brought another 10 nigiri set.

Appetizers were not bad but rather ordinary - we had the poke tacos, fish carpaccio, and rock shrimp tempura. The 14 oz wagyu steak was way too salty that we could not even finish. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes but everything was pretty underwhelming. Also, I was surprised that the appetizer plates were not switched out with dinner plates before the main dish, given that it was an upscale restaurant. The sunset views were nice.

We were a bit late and they were very accommodating. Greeted by very kind staff and seated on the patio to enjoy the ocean breeze. Mike was our waiter. Described everything and was so professional. Very low key vibe. Started with sticky ribs and cocktails. There was a minor issue with one of our orders and it was quickly and smoothly resolved. When we return to Maui we will certainly eat here again!

Food is generally wonderful like all other Morimoto locations we've been to. Ribs are always a fan favorite. Steak was delicious. The duck rice and shishito peppers were bland in flavor. Desert was great. Drinks were pricey and lacked punch, which should never be the case for such a classy place. Especially after dropping over $180 per person.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant! The view of the ocean is amazing, especially at sunset. And the food is beyond praise! We tried the chef's choice and everything was delicious and exquisite.

Holy Smokes! What an amazing meal/night! Everything was spot on. From the drinks to the main course to dessert. This place hit all the right notes and left us wanting more. Definitely get the shrimp tempura - the biggest reason I wanted to come back when we visited Maui again. But the short rib appitizer was spectacular and a MUST. I’m telling you! The Yellowtail is heaven, the Surf and Turf was second to none (the lobster was easily my most favorite I’ve ever had). The Cheesecake was to die for! And the malasadas and cream sauce were like clouds of magic. And AARON was our fantastic server. He was like a friendly next door neighbor. What a friendly, informative, and attentive waiter. What a great experience!

Great atmosphere. Definitely loud, but the tiki torch lighting is lovely and restful, and the service (our waiter was Michael) is excellent. Food was pretty good. My husband loved his seafood risotto (plenty of scallops, a small lobster tail, and one big shrimp). My macadamia crusted fish was a bit dry, but the rice, veg, and butter caper sauce were tasty. The portion was on the smaller side for mine, although the risotto was plentiful. Delicious hula pie and coffee. Glad we ate here!

Beautiful ocean view and some pretty good grub. Started with Calamari and Macadamia Humas. Calamari was thick sticks, with an excellent aioli. Humas included carrots zucchini and pita bread, excellent. Bacon cheese burger with avocado was chared nicely with some crunchy beer battered fries. Little woman had Maui Caesar salad with sunflower seeds, kale,mixed greens and a light dressing (a little underwhelming on the dressing flavor). Our dining guest had the fish tacos (2 in soft tortilla) & said they were excellent. Make a reservation as they are busy during peak eating times.

Good food and nice service. Its a resort style beach bar/restaurant. There was live music too so that was nice. You don't have to own or stay at the resort to park or eat here and the parking is free. The live music was pretty chill and fit the lunch beach vibe.

Nice little restaurant right off the boardwalk. The staff is super nice. We only had to wait a few minutes for our seats. The poke tacos and ahi sashimi were outstanding! They also offer a lot of nice drinks! Prices were pretty good as well. Overall, I would recommend stopping if you are walking down the boardwalk.

My fiancé and I have enjoyed Duke’s Beach House for about a week since our arrival to Maui. We booked an all inclusive package which allotted breakfast vouchers for each day we’re here. We’ve had the pleasure of enjoying their delicious, hearty breakfast and sundown scenic dinner. The service is incredible! Shout out to Troy, Sid and Emily.

Duke’s is a must if you’re in the Lahaina area. The location is as spectacular as the service. Brian was attentive, very friendly, and quick to bring our order! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, from salads to burgers. I loved the fish and chips and also tried the Caesar salad. Leave room for the world-famous Hula Pie and spend some time at the beach afterward.

Delicious, fresh seafood at the cost you would expect for a seafood restaurant on a Maui resort. Service was very efficient and nice. Bar area has 5 tables and bar seating all first come first serve otherwise reservations are needed for the rest of the seating. Live music on a Sunday at 3P. Split an appetizer (nachos) and the fish plate. They kindly split the fish plate and presented it on two separate plates and half portions without extra charge. Fantastic service. Drinks were amazing.

We had the pleasure of dining at Merriman’s in Maui during our honeymoon, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely amazing — the macadamia nut crusted fish was out of this world, and the freshly baked bread with tomato and oil was such a delicious start to the meal. What really made our experience special, though, was the outstanding service. Our server, Ben, was fantastic — so friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the menu to us. After dinner, we went down to the outdoor area where we met Nolan, the bartender, who was not only great at what he does but also a pleasure to talk with. On our last night in Maui, we returned for late-night drinks and were taken care of by Viola, who was just as wonderful and friendly. Thank you, Merriman’s, for helping make our honeymoon so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything was perfection! We celebrated our wedding anniversary here and so glad we did. The macadamia crusted catch of the day was excellent and so fresh. The dessert and other plates were so good too. Not to mention the ambiance and the amazing service - our server was so nice, attentive and passionate about the food. Highly recommend!

Spot on for fine dining. We had our kids with us and they were accommodating for children which I appreciate. The service was immaculate. There is a happy hour bar that does not accept reservations, but if you want to dine, I’d recommend reservations. The adults ordered: ahi sashimi (10/10) with fresh wasabi (holy moly) Oysters (off menu) (10/10) Caesar salad (8/10) Macadamia nut crusted fresh catch (7/10) Filet mignon (10/10) My kids ordered steak and pasta and everyone was very happy with their meal. We also got icecream and crème brûlée (off menu) which was immaculate.

What an amazing place! We had never been during our previous visits to Maui, now we'll be sure not to miss it! Absolutely stunning views during an outstanding dinner! Andy, our Server, was fantastic and attentive, yet didn't rush us at all. We had a table on the railing, which is as good as it gets! Before the sunset, all shades were raised so the entire restaurant could experience it! Now the food and drinks, perfect. The Mai Tais were delicious. We had the Sashimi Special for an appetizer which was uber fresh, the Ceviche which was delicious, and then dinner consisted of the Scallop and Clam option, along with the Ono and seared Ahi option. Everything was super flavorful and delicious. Dessert was the bread pudding with Macadamia and carmel... unreal. It's a MUST to end your evening with that! All in all a perfect dinner at one of the best restaurants with one amazing view. Thank you, and we can't wait to visit again!

We had a wonderful dinner at Merrimans on our honeymoon! The views were stunning, service was 10/10, and food was phenomenal. It’s a must-try spot for a romantic dinner. We had the crusted mahi mahi, filet, poke, and quesadillas. The bread pudding was incredible well! They also brought out a lovely dessert to congratulate us. We will be back here soon!

Celebrated our honeymoon in Maui about a month ago and had reserved about 3 months in advance at Merriman’s. One of the best decisions we made for this trip. From the moment we entered to the moment we left, the staff made us feel beyond welcome. They offered us small drinks to toast our honeymoon, the food was AMAZING, our waiter Robert was very knowledgeable and friendly, and they showed a lot of carefulness to our food intolerances/preferences and made sure every detail was well thought of. The hostess Sam made sure were happy and comfortable and even offered to take pictures of us with the sunset which we so much appreciated. My husband and I were so happy that we decided it would be one of the places we’d happily go back to every time we visit Maui. Huge thanks to everyone who participated in making our experience so enjoyable!!

We had lovelier evening with the family. The views were amazing, the atmosphere was elegant and warm. The service is 5 star. We didn't feel rushed. Food was excellent.

You’re coming here for the incredible ocean and beach views whilst enjoying a decent breakfast. Seriously, it’s the atmosphere that is the selling point. But you’ll pay the price, not so much in dollars but time. People in line said it would take an hour and came previous days where it was even longer. For pancakes and eggs? Yeah. So a pro tip: order by phone and it takes 25-20 minutes. Grab a table or lounger right next to the restaurant outside by the hotel pool. Same incredible view but much faster! But they’re super nice. They have umbrellas to shade from the sun. They gave cups of ice water too. Food: Pancakes were average. Not particularly fluffy or special quality. And they gave a huge platter of cream which of course made them better. The omelette with Swiss cheese (forgot the official name) was pretty good but ya gotta like cheese. Portuguese sausages were the best item IMO. Breakfast potatoes pretty good too. But the toast wasn’t very toasty.

Really nice spot for breakfast. Great views of the ocean and relatively affordable for the quantity provided. I would highly recommend the omelettes. We also ordered a shrimp sandwich which was really fresh and tasty. There is ample parking available and don’t miss out on the fresh fruit! Highly recommended.

We got the scrambled eggs and the combo pancakes. They were delicious and amazing and the servings here are huge. Definitely recommend coming here as it opens so you don't have to wait in line. If you come later, just know you can do takeout and that will be way way faster.

Popular breakfast spot with beach views. We read other reviews that recommended arriving here earlier than the 7:30am opening time. We arrived at 7am and it was 35 minute wait after opening. The line moved slowly because there’s limited seating and people don’t rush but it’s a vacation vibe, so what do you expect. We ordered the combo pancakes and the half order of fried rice. The half order portion was huge - I still had leftovers after the meal. Cash and credit cards accepted but it’s more expensive to use credit cards. The view of the water was great and our waitress was efficient. Everyone was chilling and assuming that you’re not in a rush, it is a good place to stop by.

An outdoor seating restaurant with superior service and food. We waited 30 minutes for a table and when left there were at least that many people in line for a table. When my sandwich got soggy because I hadn't eaten it fast enough, the waitress volunteered to return it to the cook to be regrilled. Many of the sides, sauces, and condiments are made in house. A great experience.

Listen, the food here is absolutely delicious and the staff were so quick and friendly. My husband and I split the pancakes and fried rice but we still couldn’t finish it all so just know the portions are huge! If it weren’t for the outrageous wait times with no organization around waiting to be seated (putting a name down), then I would’ve ranked this a 5/5. We got there right at open and there was a long line waiting already, which we expected but thought it would move faster than it did. It took us nearly an hour of standing in line to be seated, which at some point just isn’t worth it to me. My husband didn’t seem to mind, so to each his own, but I was absolutely drained and just wanted to rest. There was only one provided bench and pool loungers from the hotel that’s next to it, but the loungers were covered in water from the rain and bird poop, so you’re more than likely going to have to stand the whole time. Once again, not the biggest deal to some people, but it was nearly a deal breaker for me. If you can get around that, it’s absolutely worth the hype!

This is a not-so-hidden “Gem” spot.. that should most definitely be on your “must eat” Maui list! Go early in your trip, as you will have leftovers for days — portions are THAT generous! Be prepared to wait in line - but soooo worth it. ENJOY🌊

We went for happy hour. Charlene our waitress was friendly and gave good service. Variety of dishes for happy hour. Chili tequila was spicy. Wings were crispy and slightly sweet. The hurricane fries were well liked. Calamari was unfortunately not cooked properly being the only downside. The view is beautiful

Beautiful beach/ ocean front table view. The fresh fruit was delicious. The house special pancake- filled with banana and pineapple was tasty but just a little too mushy if you are in the mood for pancakes. Like eating a Custard with a thin skin and with fruit added. Overall a great breakfast spot- just will order different menu item. Sorry, the birds are cute but they come onto your table ( 5 or 6 total ) and 1-2 even eat out of the plates.

The view from Sea House alone is worth the trip! Stunning Napili Bay location and view. The food puts it over the top! I have been there several times for breakfast and the food and service is consistently amazing. Wendy and Marlon are fabulous. Prices are incredibly low for the large amount of food you get. This is one of my all time favorite restaurants on Maui.

We arrived at 5:30 for reservations and from that point forward it was magical. The server was top notch (April?) I swear she read my mind for when to come and fill wine and check in. She is very skilled. The Trio Fish special was incredible and the lobster was just as delicious. The gnocchi with truffle and mushroom was by far my absolute favorite. Everything was 10/10 recommend. The mango sorbet was beyond delicious. THANKS FOR A MAGICAL EVENING SEA HOUSE.

What's vibe and it's right on the water. Just so beautiful and calming space. I ordered way too much the proportions are big! I loved the tofo teriyaki. The gnocchi itself melted in your mouth but the sauce was too garlicky.

There aren't enough words to describe just how great this little seaside restaurant truly is. The food is beyond amazing. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. We requested a window table to view the sunset and they were even able to get us seated a little early, securing the last window table availability that evening. Our server Patrick was very friendly and had perfect timing. He was attentive but didn't hover and allowed time for my partner and I to enjoy our meal, the sunset and each other. As a San Diego native I can confidently say that the fresh ceviche is probably the best ive ever had. The filet DID NOT disappoint and was super flavorful. Make reservations here if you are looking for an intimate elevated beach side dining experience. As self proclaimed foodies, we highly recommend you give this place a try

Started with calamari. Outstanding. Moved on to monchong and kanpachi, 2fish we’d never heard of but they were awesome! Dessert cheesecake was a surprise gift for our anniversary and it was good. Did I mention the martinis? Fantastic. A great dining experience.

Mala Ocean Tavern completely exceeded our expectations! The food and service were absolutely top-notch. I had the filet mignon, which was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My fiancé ordered the scallops, and they were perfectly seared and bursting with flavor. To top it all off, we finished with the affogato, which was the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. The atmosphere and ocean views made the experience even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an incredible dining experience in Maui!

My partner and I have been to most restaurants in and around Lahaina, and we were so happy to have found Mala! We’re both gluten-free and total foodies, and it’s rare to find a place that delivers on both flavor and service — but Mala absolutely did. Our server Thomas was the BEST — friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He knew all the specials, kept our glasses full, and made sure our table was always clean without hovering. The food was outstanding, and Thomas went above and beyond by helping us secure Mother’s Day / birthday reservations seven months in advance! He even introduced us to Sergio, the manager, who took amazing care of us as well. Everything about our experience was perfect — the food, the service, the vibe. If you’re anywhere near Lahaina, do yourself a favor and pull up to Mala for a fantastic meal and some of the best service you’ll find anywhere.

Came here on a Saturday night , day after Halloween, place was half full. I’ve heard a lot about Mala from family & friends , knew i was in for a treat. My wife, 25 weeks pregnant , eats plant based and there were several options for her. Our server, Carlos, was soft spoken but confident & gave us great pointers - he’s someone you just know you can trust. I got the ceviche w the sweet potato Chips , my wife got the Brussel sprouts to start, both were just fantastic! The brussel sprouts were cooked to perfection & the ceviche i got was in this rich coconut broth that i ended up drinking. Really refined and confident flavors. For our main dish, my wife got the vegan curry & i was stuck between the pork shank (Carlos said it falls off the bone) and the pan seared mahi mahi (which i ended up getting). While the portion size of the mahi mahi was on the smaller side, the actual dish was huge — Yukon potatoes and a great ginger sauce with mushrooms and carrots - just really full flavor. Id like to note that i got their version of a Mai tai as well as a gin drink that were some of the best cocktails I had during our trip. Pricing was fair and the food quality was just superb - couple that with Carlos service and the incredible waterfront views — you got yourself a fantastic meal . Would RUN back. Also, their sambal was SPICY!

Enjoyed our ocean front breakfast. The pork belly eggs Benedict was delicious but it had a little too much fat. The classic eggs Benedict was good. Big portion so come hungry. French toast was good with a twist of purple yam gellato. Aloha!

Would not come back here. We had dinner here last night for my husband’s birthday, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Our server was wonderful—warm, attentive, and accommodating—and our table by the ocean was beautiful. However, the food quality and flavor fell far short of expectations, especially for a restaurant so highly rated. It honestly ruined what was meant to be a special evening; we didn’t even feel like ordering dessert to celebrate. For starters, we ordered the Ube bread and the Poisson Cru. The bread arrived cold in the middle, suggesting it had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. The Poisson Cru lacked the salt, lime, and chili flavor described on the menu—it tasted mostly like fish in plain coconut milk. We then ordered the Caesar salad and the Surf & Turf. The salad was decent, though overly dressed. The Surf & Turf, however, was the most disappointing dish of the night. The filet mignon had no seasoning or flavor, the octopus was bland, and the potatoes on the side resembled unseasoned breakfast potatoes rather than a dinner accompaniment. Given the restaurant’s reputation and glowing reviews, we expected a refined, flavorful dining experience. Unfortunately, the dishes lacked balance and care in execution. The service and setting were excellent, but the food was simply not up to par—especially for a special occasion.

🌊 Pure Magic at Mala Ocean Tavern, Maui 🌴 I’m still in awe of the experience we had at Mala Ocean Tavern — it was absolute perfection from start to finish. I went for the surf and turf (and couldn’t resist adding scallops 😋), while my wife had the green curry with seafood, and every bite was pure heaven. What made it even more unforgettable was the ocean view, just steps away — the sound of the waves, the warm breeze, and that Maui sunset painting the sky. 🌅 The staff went above and beyond — so kind, attentive, and full of great recommendations that made the meal even more special. It’s one of those rare moments where everything just clicks — incredible food, an amazing team, and the beauty of nature all around you. Feeling so grateful to have experienced it. 💙

Like the name suggests, this place is immediately next to the ocean. The sprays up on the windows often. It's great to watch during dinner. The food was excellent and the menu was diverse and creative. The service was stellar. The views of the sailboats and the ocean waves made for a memorable dinner experience.

High hopes met with a big let down! Mediocre food experience in Wailea met with a clumsy night of service. Service: My partner and I had one of the only open reservations at Lineage which was at the bar. I was greeted outside with a friendly face and promptly shown to my seat after being checked in. At the beginning of service a server dropped a glass at the end of the bar. In trying to clean up the shattered glass he dropped a second glass that shattered everywhere. A different server (bartender) dropped our porcelain soup spoon which shattered on the floor as well. This time, I watched the bartender rinse her hand for all of two seconds before making drinks again. I mean, it’s really quite simple - if you touch the dirty floor then wash your hands with soap and warm/hot water for at minimum 30 seconds. It helps prevent customers from getting sick. This did not happen!! During one of the courses my partner was given a clean plate and set of silverware, but this did not happen for any of the other courses. A manager was helping clear a table where a young family with many small kids dropped napkins, and food, all over the floor. The manager put floor napkins onto the table top. One word: gross. A server, yes, did wipe the table down, but used all of a whisper of sanitizer. Why take the risk of transferring germs onto the table and possibly get people sick? Poor practices that are aimed at quick table turnover and do not prioritize safe practices. Upon leaving, you have to exit near the kitchen and a server bustling out of the kitchen nearly crashed into me trying to leave. Whoever designed the restaurant made a mistake by putting the entrance and exit door right by the kitchen. This is a disaster waiting to happen! The hosts said goodbye to me but when my partner came out separately he was totally ignored. Overall, what I’m aiming to point out is the service was clumsy and ensconced with poor health practices. Atmosphere: The indoor dining area is rather intimate. Dim lights, sleek surfaces warmed with a lot of wood tones. The chairs at the bar were comfortable. Keep in mind, the night of my dinner there were several families with small kids, but I found the restaurant to be quite loud. Listening to kids scream and cry throughout service took away from enjoying the venue and dinner. I quickly strolled through one of the art galleries that was still open after my meal. When making my way back I passed by the restaurant to see the host sitting down smoking a vape pen. There’s a lot of little details that just went wrong during my visit. These details make cheapen the experience and feel of the restaurant. Food: I ordered three courses: the ox tail soup, garlic noodles, and fried cauliflower. The food did not resonate with me. I found the presentation of the soup to be wonderful, but lacking balance. The bread was served on a wooden dish that served as a lid for the soup. The broth was incredibly sweet and could have been balanced with some heat. There was a lot of free floating fat in the dish which I did not enjoy with each bite of the oxtail. I did find the meat to be very tender! I feel there was a missed opportunity for a reveal. You have a lid that gets taken off at the table, so it might be a wow moment if the soup was lightly smoked - serving more of an aromatic versus flavor for the soup. The garlic noodles were definitely oozing with garlic flavor, but were rather dry. The tiny bit of sprouts on the top were undetectable once mixed in and added next to nothing to the dish. Again, I feel this course was lacking balance. Garlic without the balance of salt, heat, acid, or fat is one note and boring. The cauliflower was tempura fried on the florets, covered in a curry sauce and topped with what they call a peanut salsa. The tempura batter was everything you’d want it to be - light and crisp. But the rest of the dish fell short. The curry was a mediocre red curry you could find at any average Thai restaurant. Sadly, I would not recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for an upscale meal.

This was our favorite meal on Maui. The crispy cauliflower was incredible- I'd come back and just have this as my entree. It was so crispy and so nice with the melty onions and sauce. A close runner up was the Bird's Nest. I wouldn't have chosen this on my own but my friend ordered it and again, the textures and flavors were memorable. Also on order were the liangban salad, and garlic noodles. Both solid dishes to accompany the aforementioned two. Lineage definitely makes the return visit list.

The food is very good, the freshness of the ingredients elevates the flavor! The crispy cauliflower had a nice crunch and sauce. The oyster mushrooms and vegetables birds nest was amazing, with all the fresh veggies and the curried sauce. The garlic noodles had great flavor. The pandan bread pudding was very rich, and the key lime ice cream was a nice accompaniment which helped cut through the buttery richness of the pudding.

Outstanding I definitely give them 10 thumbs up. Great experience excellent customer service. Food was phenomenal. Everything was so good. Our host was the best. (Please forgive me I forgot his name) Definitely a must go!!!! So please stop by and show them some love!!!!!

The best restaurant we went to in Maui! The fried chicken (no glaze) was incredible, as well as the garlic noodles. Also the pickles were really well crafted. Would definitely go back!

this is our second time here and both experiences have been absolutely phenomenal. The food is incredible and the cocktails are out of this world. A huge shout out to our server, Drew! He was so helpful and knowledgeable and just sincerely one of the best servers we’ve ever had.

What a great experience. We sat at the bar and the bartender Elmer was incredibly attentive and a great host. Definitely try a couple of the cocktails. The lobster noodles were insane and so was the cauliflower. 10 out of 10 will be back next time!

We really, really wanted to love this because we have watched Chef Sheldon on Top chef and he was so genuine and amazing. Our experience however was not great. We did order closer to closing, which may have impacted the experience, but the food quality was sub par. First, they forgot two of our add ones, egg and spam in one dish. Next, we had four dishes and 1 desert, with only one of the dishes being really great (Mochiko Chicken - Highly recommended!). The spicy chicken sandwich was good enough, but the bun seemed stale and the chicken was a little on the chewy side without any real juiciness. The chopped steak had really good flavor, but had quite a lot of fat on most of the pieces that had to be cut out. The Poke bowl was good, but didn't really stand out in any way from any other poke spot. The desert, Chocolate Birthday Babingka was actually fantastic with great textures and great flavor. Hopefully, this was a one off experience because the reviews here are generally off the charts and he seems like such an incredible person. When we return to Maui next year we will try again and hope for the best.

Great spot to hit right when you land in paradise! Tin Roof is a quick drive from the airport and is the perfect first stop when you make it to Maui. Great food! Only thing is that there is rarely a place to sit, so be prepared to chill in your car. Chef Sheldon is such a gift! So definitely worth checking out.

Stopped by Tin Roof and honestly left a little disappointed. The chicken had decent seasoning on top, but the sauce was not it, really heavy and the kind of flavor you get sick of very quickly. The rice was fine, but overall the bowl just didn’t come together the way I expected. Also, there’s no actual seating area or inside space. You order at the window outside, grab your food, and that’s about it. Not very comfortable if you were planning to sit and eat there. I’d heard about this place since it’s run by Sheldon, the chef from Top Chef, which made me curious to try it. But honestly, the food didn’t live up to the hype. Not the worst, but definitely not something I’d go back for.

We were starving from our 6 hour flight. Thought we would try this place before driving another 45 minutes to our hotel. We got the garlic shrimp, small garlic noodles and the fish sandwich. The fish sandwich was cold and hard. Also found a hair in it so they remade it for me. Hoping I would’ve gotten a hotter sandwich since they are making a new one. Sadly the 2nd one was even more cold and hard compared to the first. I didn’t think the garlic noodles or the garlic shrimp was good either. Extremely disappointing. You would think food tastes better when you’re starving but everything was just that bad.

Great spot to grab a bite near the airport. Line moves fast. Love their garlic noodles, and their mochiko chicken is so good. The chicken is definitely much better than the pork belly.

Great food, no line up when I went. You can order online and schedule to pick up. Convenient! Had the mochiko chicken with garlic noodles, fish sando, and pork belly with spicy noodles. The garlic noodles and spicy noodles were bomb! Definitely add this or get a side order of to try!

We really enjoyed our food but it didn’t live up to the hype we saw about it. The salted cabbage was a surprising favorite. Not anything I’ll be dreaming about but was still good.

This was one of my fav restaurant in Maui, love the ocean front view. The breeze, the ocean water. It’s located in Lahaina town. We were there before the fire broke out. Not sure if they rebuild it or not. Food was great. Love the view. Can walk around burn some calories after lunch or dinner. Staffs were wonderful.

We had an excellent meal at Kimo’s . We both had fish dishes, which were delicious. We were there for the sunset, which was amazing. The views from the patio deck are terrific. They had two musicians playing for the sunset hour, which was charming! Our server was attentive and informative. I would highly recommend!

Amazing food. Amazing scenery. This place is an absolute must while on the island! We called ahead and made reservations for 4, and we're able to get right in on time. It is right on the beach, so you get a great view of the ocean! Make sure to bring some sunglasses if you go during sunset because that sun gets brutal as it sets in the evening. Best fish and chips I have ever had (honestly). Also, the hula pie is an absolute must-have for dessert. It most definitely lives up to the hype! Parking is best if you go to the free parking at the shopping center just north 2 block. It's an easy walk, and you can stop at a few gift shops along the way.

Definitely should get the hula pie! I was happy with the cheeseburger and fries. The fish wasn't bad but tasted bland. Enjoyed the beachfront and even looking over the balcony, we found some nails and crabs on the rocks below which the kids loved! The staff was attentive and friendly. They have an interactive packet for the kids to color and then if they play bingo (find things around them) then they got a free Frisbee! It helped to keep them distracted and in their seats.

Sadly, this is one of those restaurants that used to be really good, great food, great service, etc. But now they just hustle you in and hustle you out. It has become so popular because of the amazing ocean and sunset views. I have always enjoyed the prime rib here, but it was so disappointing this time. Very dry and tasteless. The seafood special was good but not outstanding as it should be based on the pricing and the caliber of restaurant they are trying to be. Don't bother showing up without a reservation, the hostess will be rude and make it very clear she will not have room for you. I'm sorry to say, it's not worth a return trip for me.

The fish tacos are exceptional, maybe the best I've had. Paired with a draft craft beer IPA made it even better. The Kimo's Baked fish with rice and macaroni salad was also excellent. And to top it off the Hula Pie was super yummy too. The hostess who seated us and our server were friendly and professional. Truly a 5 star experience.

This restaurant is situated on the popular Front Street, right on the water. Unfortunately, we got there after sunset and weren’t able to take in the views. At the time, the live vocalist was finishing up, around 8pm. He was very talented and showed real affection for the crowd. Not sure if that was just that night or if he’s always like that, but it was quite endearing. Our server was fun and friendly. The food was fresh. Taste wise, it was ok. Not great, just good, hence the 4 stars. The vibe was the most significant part here. With the waves crashing beside us, the beautiful music, the mix of customers, and outgoing staff, it’s a great spot to visit while on vacation. Try to get there while the sun is still up!

Had a lovely dinner for my partners birthday. We both had fish which was lovely and great and prepared well. They comped our desert for his birthday which was a lovely gesture. Great views of the ocean so if you can go for sunset it would be lovely. I’d say for the price they could work on the food presentation but a minor point really, it’s the taste that matters!

We tried Leilani’s on the Beach and found it to be an average experience overall — I’d rate it about 3 stars. The location is great with a nice beach atmosphere, but the restaurant feels more like a polished chain-on-the-ocean rather than a unique dining spot. The food was okay but underwhelming for the price and hype. The hummus was heavy on oil and hidden at the bottom of the plate, the calamari lacked much flavor, and the mashed potatoes had that heat-lamp crust that made them taste like they’d been sitting. Nothing stood out as thoughtful or memorable. Service was friendly, and our waiter did their best, but the restaurant was very busy and it showed. The overall service level didn’t quite match what you’d expect for the setting and cost. In hindsight, we probably would have enjoyed the beach bar portion of the restaurant more, since that casual vibe and pace seems like a better fit for this spot.

Went here for my 23rd birthday! I made a reservation same day and requested nicely if we could get a view of the beach and they did not disappoint! It felt so nice and special being on the 2nd floor and looking at the sunset. Food was fresh and delicious! Would definitely recommend, but would also say if you can, get a reservation ahead of time! Not too difficult and it guarantees you a time!

Excellent attentive friendly service! Multiple servers and a manager checked on us. The pulled pork BBQ sandwich with the pineapple slaw was amazing. Will go back for the service alone.

It is interesting reading through the reviews and a lot of them are five star ratings. We are there twice and had similar experiences. I really don't think this is a five star restaurant with a lot of missing components. Some of which include the "pets" aka birds that intruding. Not really the restaurants fault, but when the waiters and bus boys leave the food on the table to long you are inviting unwelcomed guests aka the "pets". I'll start with the good though. They are right on the beach so almost any seat is a good seat. The appetizers are great especially the nachos. We added the pulled pork to it to make it even better. The pulled pork was tender and very flavorful. We enjoyed it with the crunch of the chips, salsa and the avocado. On different nights we got the fish and chips and the fish tacos. The tacos were definitely better. The fish was over cooked on the fish and chips plate and the fries lack luster. But it did seem like they were using the same fish for the fish and chips and the tacos😅. The waiters seemed to be beginners and we had two different waiters each day. Both were slow to serve the food and just appeared to be inattentive. Both times we had to request our water to be refilled especially on a hot day at the beach. I mean we sat so close to the beach that the surf was spraying our food 🌊😂. "That's a little... Salty" bonus points if you can guess the movie🤣. Anyways there are two places to eat at. If you want something more casual eat on the floor closer to the beach. If you want the "steak" restaurant you will want to head upstairs. There are shady spots to sit under but they don't cover well in the late afternoon. I got roasted like a lobster 🦞. Hmmm ... Maybe my wife should have ordered lobster instead 🤔. Anyways that's were the water would have nice. So mind when you are going to eat and where you are going to be seated. I do believe they will vouch for parking but double check with them first. Most other restaurants did while we were on the beach. So three stars for mediocre food (mind you the nachos saved their rating), poor service, but all least a great view as long as you don't mind becoming the next lobster 😜.

This was our first food stop in Maui. Did not disappoint. Highly recommend the Rum Punch! Had the shrimp tempura pupu, fish tacos, and nachos. All fantastic.

This review is for the more casual beach bar downstairs. We loved it! Great sunset views, great service and tasty food! Especially liked the Korean sampler combo plate.

Very nice experience. The food was incredibly flavorful, the ambiance was classy. We enjoyed the excellent wagyu ravioli with the warm fresh bread. The French onion soup and seafood chowder were great. We split the daily special Opakapaka with amazing risotto. They notified us of the extra charge to split and we were happy with did it when we saw how beautifully it was plated. Every dish was super rich and delicious. A very nice touch when they brought my husband a birthday card, dessert and took our photo. I read reviews of how incredible service was, so I think I was expecting a lot. While our server was friendly, we didn’t find it very attentive. It was busy, so I understand he had his hands full. It was a lovely fine dining experience!

An absolute must-visit fine dining restaurant. If you are in Maui, you must dine here. The atmosphere is inviting and intimate. The staff is knowledgeable of the entire menu and very polite. Their wine list is second to none. They have their own sommelier who procures vino from around the world, so you have a tremendous amount of bottled options ranging from $60 per bottle to over $10K. They have many gluten-free options or can make some options gluten-free with a chefs tweak here or there. The bowl of fish chowder was to die for and is a must-try. Lastly, the owner will stop by and introduce himself and chat with you. He provides the highest level of concierge service, which, besides the amazing food and atmosphere, is why this place consistently ranks among the very, very best in the world and deserves the reputation it has most assuredly earned.

Honestly, best service we have had in a very long time. Thank you Lisa and Eric for being so attentive. The little special touches go a long way in our book. The food matched the service and was spectacular. We were celebrating our anniversary and they took a picture of us, gave us a card, and a desert. My husband is Gluten Free and they paid very special attention to his dietary restrictions. They made sure he could still try the seafood special of the day and dessert. Even the doggy bag hanger was a nice touch.

Excellent dinner. The food was amazing. Everything sounded great so it was hard to decide what to get. The drinks we got were delicious too. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We definitely will be coming back next time we’re in Maui. This was the best meal we had on the island. Everything we got was phenomenal. The owner of the restaurant even came around and thanked us for dining there. Great experience all around.

Had a wonderful experience. Food was excellent. Service was exceptional! Only thing I didn’t really care for was the fish chowder. We really enjoyed the bufala tomato salad. Although it’s a bit pricey for what you get but it’s worth a try. The Osso Buco tasted amazing and they leave the bone marrow intact. Seared Ahi Tuna was cooked perfectly. The flavor is well balanced.

Absolutely phenomenal food and was one of the highlights of our trip. I went with my fiance for an anniversary dinner and had incredible service and complimentary dessert. Highly recommend the rack of lamb and the steak. The soups were fantastic as well. Make sure to reserve in advance because it's all worth it!

We went there to celebrate both of my parents’ 60th birthday. It was a phenomenal place! From the tequila shrimp to the slow braised boneless short ribs to the mushroom ravioli to the salmon filet, all of it was incredibly delicious and flavorful! They even surprised us with birthday cards and a beautiful dessert. Our server Mike was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu! Overall, we all had a great experience!

The original Kahana location closed, so this newer and much larger location is their sole spot on the rock. ATMOSPHERE: They have a humongous building in the tech park. The landscaping looks so mainland-ish, I love it! There's a good-sized living room-like area at the front, outdoor lanai seating and a gargantuan main dining area with bar. BEVERAGE: True North Refreshing with nicely-balanced flavors. Highly recommended. Lei'd Lychee Unfortunately served lukewarm, it was very light on lychee flavor but heavy on the pineapple. FOOD: MBC Nachos We added spicy Mexican beef which wasn't spicy hot at all. Mainstream version. Chicken Bacon Ranch Sando I wanted to be a little healthier and got his tasty little sammy. SERVICE: Consistently good throughout the years. OVERALL: South Maui's best bar & restaurant setting.

5 stars because of the experience and the beers but the food was a little bland. Going for dinner the wait was long since we didn’t have a reservation and it’s a popular spot. We were able to sit in the tasting area and drink while waiting. Got a table outside which as the sun went down it was a good temperature and they opened the large garage doors. The food looked amazing but the hot fish sandwich wasn’t hot and didn’t have a lot of flavor. The fish tacos were the same way too. Enjoyed the dessert though and recommended getting some cheesecake cake. Would good again since it was a really nice brewery and to try other food.

We had planned to come here for happy hour but got blown off the beach by the wind so we were a bit early. Parking is easy and plentiful, and the space is massive both indoor, covered patio, and outdoor games space. It was our first time here, the bar seating is seat yourself and the rest a host needs to take you to the table. It wasn’t too busy but we were clumped together with other tables when there was plenty of space to spread out. We both got Mexican lime lagers and they were pretty good but not super cold? We also shared the pork belly bao buns and the flavours didn’t complement (needed something pickled to offset the fatty pork and hoisin instead of the overpowering chilli mayo). Service was friendly. Would be a great spot for groups or an evening hangout spot to play the outdoor games. Next time I’d come for happy hour and get a flight to try several beers and the $13 pizza, but I’m not rushing back (and you can get their beers on tap at other establishments on island for cheaper than the source).

We spent our last afternoon trying the happy hour here and it was very worth the time and money! The food specials are great, the drinks were delicious but what stood out the most was the quality of service. The food and drinks came out fast, the servers are attentive but leave you alone. The decor is beautiful and simple. If you’re looking for a good happy hour, it’s here!

It pains me to give this low of rating on typically a consistent 4 or even 5 star experience but my experience today was so terrible I feel like a review needs written. I really believe the server sets the tone of the evening for the establishment and our server came off like she could care less about her job. We had to flag her down to order dinner, drinks, ask for more water, ask for refills ask for our check. She would often just walk by our table, never check in. I really do not like to flag a server down, but at one point, I really thought she forgot about us. She also forgot to put food items in to order, so it took almost 90 minutes just for our full order to come out. And upon paying, she requested at 25% tip. The food and drinks were really delicious. I do want it noted that this is the third place I have ordered a Caesar salad, and while the prices line up with the other establishments, this portion was about half the size, so I would not order it again. I do hope to go back to allow them to redeem themselves, but this was a big step down in the experience from last year, and I would hate to stop going in general. [pictured: Brew Master Pizza, Caesar Salad, Coconut/Pineapple slushy]

What a great brewery and restaurant. I wish I could have tried every beer! This was our first stop after picking up our rental car on the way to our condo. So glad our friend recommended this stop. The grounds are beautiful, whether you are sitting inside or outdoors, the entire restaurant has an open feel. The staff were all very friendly and the environment is very clean. Had we had time I would have come back for one of their brewery tours and to try more beer. I had the Pineapple Mana Wheat, delicious with a perfect balance of flavor. It paired perfectly with my jalapeño bacon burger... which was amazing. I'll definitely recommend this to friends and family and when I make it back to the island for a speaking gig or an Own Your Awkward retreat, I'll be sure this is part of the experience.

My favorite spot in Maui! Great beer, awesome atmosphere, and delicious food. Everything I had was amazing and would have again. They have an outdoor area for cornhole, relaxed seating. To get food we had to sit on the patio where table service was though. Live music.

My fiancé made a reservation here after our proposal and the service and food here was impeccable. The hostesses were soo excited for us and had me show off the ring and take pictures. They were so sweet. They provided free prosecco and a small amuse-Bouche for us to try as well. Overall the servers were very attentive and gave us recommendations according to what we liked and also what they liked. We had a table side view of the water which was nice. Our food was very good. I believe I had bass and my fiancé had filet mignon. We also ordered Brussel sprouts which were very good. Overall, everybody here at humuhumunukunukuapua’a made our special day even more memorable

We had an incredible dinner at Humuhumunukunukuāpua‘a! The service was outstanding — honestly some of the best we’ve ever experienced anywhere. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had our drinks out almost immediately. We started with the crab cakes, which were absolutely delicious — crisp on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. For our entrées, we had the salmon and the catch of the day, both beautifully prepared and perfectly cooked. My wife felt the dishes were a little on the salty side, but that was really the only minor complaint from an otherwise fantastic meal. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with excellent service, great food, and a beautiful setting. Highly recommend.

This food was fantastic. The only draw back was the price. It was so incredibly expensive that it caught us off gaurd but it was so wonderful. I got the scallops which were cooked to perfection. My husband got the pork which was dynamite. Had the prices been a little more affordable, we likely wouldv'e tried the steak. The ambiance was beautiful and our server, Michael, was wonderful.

A review of breakfast only** This restaurant is the self described best place for breakfast here at the Waldorf Astoria and the food selection and atmosphere does not disappoint. Being a part of Hilton, the hostess knew we were on our honeymoon and congratulated us, definitely a nice touch. As she walked us to our table, she explained what foods were where, as this buffet style breakfast was all over the restaurant. It is very clear that the space was not designed for buffet style. Where things took an odd turn was our server, who seemed quite flustered and pulled in many directions. The one speciality drink we ordered was an iced Chai latte, which was incorrectly made hot. We let our server know that it was wrong but there was no need to fix it (not a huge deal for us), but what was odd was the hot Chai came in the same wine style glass which the water came in. Therefore, my wife needed to use a napkin to hold the glass as it was too hot. Finally, you are definitely paying resort prices by going here. Breakfast is a wopping $62 per person, not including the Chai latte, with a tip on top. Needless to say, those with hilton gold or diamond status will not have their food and beverage credit get very far here.

The last time I dined here was when the lobster & crab fishing baskets were in use (2000's?). You'll still see it on display in the middle of the restaurant just past the bar on your way to the back. You could choose your crustacean from the pool below and it'd be hoisted up to you before heading for death row. ATMOSPHERE: It's still a beautiful open air restaurant, with high thatched roofs, warm lighting & woods, surrounded by a manmade lagoon and gorgeous sunset views. Be sure to check out the renovated bar with a built-in salt water aquarium countertop. I'd hate to be the one to clean that thing! Low top chair back cushions were uncomfortably thin. RESERVATIONS: Recommended as they're busy especially for dinner. PARKING: Valet is your only option and the restaurant is far from the lobby, so plan accordingly. MENU: American surf & turf with an extensive wine list. BEVERAGE: One Island Wish Vodka-based cocktail that's mildly sweet, a bit tart and sported some heat. FOOD: Kona Crab Cake (1 pc.) Honestly, THE best crab cake I've ever eaten. Simplicity at its best with a breaded crust, loads of finely shredded crab meat and no fillers. Tasted even better with the included crunchy greens. Everyone at the table agreed, highly recommended! But at $32 for a small-sized piece... Daily Catch Swordfish was the offering. Adequately-sized tender & moist filet, nicely seasoned. You won't miss having a starch as the chunky chickpeas mixed into the creamy sauce provided for a great low carb alternative. Some steamed or sautéed veggies would've been a nice accompaniment rather than the topping of slivered bell pepper. DESSERT: Espresso Martini Sometimes, you just gotta drink your dessert. Delish, textbook recipe. SERVICE: We had a small hiccup with our party's count but it was remedied. Male server went above & beyond when explaining the menu, with good overall service. We finished up around 10pm with multiple servers congregating at a nearby table, talking amongst themselves with obvious glances at us to leave. Even the overhead music stopped. Funny thing is, there was still another party dining in another corner of the restaurant as we left. Hopefully they didn't get an evening-ruining send off as we did. OVERALL: An otherwise 5-star experience was humbled by inflated pricing and the unprofessional feeling of being rushed out by staff members at the end of our dinner.

We had such a wonderful experience here. The food was incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch and made the whole meal even better. Our waiter Bryan went above and beyond and made our night. Highly recommend!

The kids steak was the best part. Everything seemed over thought or not quite thought through enough. The scallops which are already sweet were paired with a sweet sauce and pea shoots which are sweet too and the textural contrast wasn't there with the potato medallion underneath it. The petite seafood tower was supposed to come with ceviche but it came with poke instead and again there was no textual contrast between the items on the petite seafood tower.

Kula Lodge is an absolute dream! Nestled in the lush hills of Upcountry Maui, this place offers the perfect blend of rustic charm, incredible views, and warm hospitality. Whether you're stopping by for a meal or staying overnight, it's an experience you won't forget. The moment you arrive, you're greeted with panoramic views that stretch all the way down to the ocean — it’s truly breathtaking. The outdoor garden seating is magical, with vibrant flowers and the fresh, cool Upcountry breeze creating a serene, peaceful atmosphere. The food is wonderful, though a bit expensive even by Hawaii standards. Still, we thought this was a great stop after watching the Haleakalā sunrise, which is what we enjoyed just before stopping for breakfast. Overall we had a wonderful experience at Kula, even if a bit costly.

We had lunch at Kula Lodge on our way to the national park. We each had the chicken and waffles, a specialty there, and it was wonderful. The setting is beautiful with an incredible mountain overview and lush tropical garden. Highly recommend for a side trip while on Maui.

Things that need to be done to improve: - Get rid of the mildew smell in all interior places (replace carpets, rugs, curtains, etc) - Coordinate your service better (most people want to have their drinks before the food arrives - if asked for the check, bring the check before preparing silverware for future customers) - Improve your food hygiene (don‘t put food out on a window sill for the server to pick up in the open air with insects and birds flying around, picking toppings off the pizza) - Provide pillows for the benches in the little gazebos. Noone wants to sit on concrete while eating out!

We were there to eat in the restaurant only. They had a live performer playing guitar and singing in the lounge before we were seated . Walked thru the garden outside and vas very impressed by the beauty of it all. The sunset was gorgeous from the restaurant. Highly recommend .

Spectacular views of the saddle with whimsical masonry settings for outside tables. Wood fired pizza and smash burger were excellent as well as the service. We will be back for every Maui visit.

I really enjoyed eating here had a nice whiskey made here on Maui. (Kupu spirits) Unfortunately their kitchen suffered a fire two days after I visited. Hopefully they will recover

Kula Lodge has amazing views, totally worth the drive up the mountain. The food was pretty good, a little pricey but not unexpected. The lodge itself is charming and rustic, loved the fireplace. Service was friendly and attentive, made us feel welcome. Would definitely recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner if you're in the area.

We had such a phenomenal experience at Plantation House for our honeymoon. The food, atmosphere and service were top tier. Lauren was such an attentive and pleasant server. She had great recommendations and made sure our night was special. The chef that curated this menu has a gift. Thank you for such an amazing night, one of the best meals we have had. Highly recommend the Lavender Whale (i substituted vodka for the gin it was amazing), scallops with added the lobster tail, my husband had the two fish special, then we both had dessert, creme brulee and cheesecake. Everything was spectacular! Not to mention the beautiful views! If you got to only one restaurant during your stay, go here.

We had a wonderful first experience tonight at The Plantation House. We were seated promptly at our reserved time. The decor is so clean and airy and comfortable. There really isn't a bad seat in the restaurant. Our server was very warm and helpful, and she checked on us often. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. The seafood was all fresh, and the lamb chops were decadently tender and juicy. Parking was valet only.

All of the food that we had was great! All of the servers were very nice and respectful. We had our reservations around 4:30pm and not many people were there when we first arrived but it got very busy as the night went on. This restaurant os a perfect place to watch the sunset and have a dinner. The price of the food is on the higher side but all of the food was fantastic. We would recommend going if you are in the area!

Plantation House has one of the greatest sunset views! It is so hard to beat and the food is phenomenal! Get a view looking out towards the sunset, and pro tip: you can walk downstairs and get an unobstructed view on the golf course. All the food was top notch. Don’t forget to the dessert.

Such a wonderful restaurant to eat and watch the sunset. We had salads, calamari, and several fish dishes. All of them were delicious. The service was great and the views were stunning. It’s a great place to sit and enjoy an evening.

Whilst staying locally the wife and I drove up to watch the sunset with cocktail in hand. We didn't have dinner reservations, but there is a bar area with a restricted view. The actual golf course was closed (water problems), but the restaurant was quite full and the food looked good. The front of house was friendly and helpful, but the barman was a little surly. We would probably dine there if we went back to Maui, but I think the restaurant closes at 8pm so book early and hit the circa 6pm sunset!

What a great place for a very nice dinner. Escargot was rich and yummy. Poke with the avocado wasabi was delicious. I had the duo fish plate with butter fish and a sea bass. That was a nice combo. Fiance had the filet mignon, pretty good cut of beef. Creme Brulee was excellent. Great golf course and ocean views. Hope to play next time.

This was an unforgettable dinner experience, from service to food- everything was of superior quality. Our special occasion, honeymoon, was acknowledged by all staff members which I thought was so sweet. While very expensive, dinner here is a lovely experience. Our server, I believe his name was Shane, was top notch. The food was so good, our steaks were cooked perfectly, and the drinks were absolutely phenomenal. We will always remember our dinner here! Thank you!

My wife and I stayed at the Four Seasons on our honeymoon and were fortunate enough to have a few fantastic restaurants on property, including Duo. We came in later in the night without any reservations and they were very accommodating seating us very quickly. Our server Beau was awesome he was giving us the low down on the menu, what’s popular for food and drink selections. My wife and I got the King Crab legs, Curry, crab cake, oysters, filet with the peppercorn cause (must try), and the catch of the day. He coursed it out perfectly for us to enjoy an unforgettable dining experience. Sitting outside under the patio with the fountains from the pool and the tiki torches setting an unforgettable atmosphere. To top everything off the gave us a chocolate desert to celebrate our special occasion. Thank you Beau and the rest of the staff at Duo, truly at 5 star experience I’d highly recommend stopping in, we will be back next time we’re in Maui!

DUO Steakhouse at the Four Seasons hands down the best restaurant I visited during my trip to Maui. From the food to the views and service, everything was a 10/10 so good I had to come back a second time. To start, I highly recommend the DUO wedge salad great flavor and a perfect appetizer. The crispy Brussels sprouts and roasted mushrooms were also solid sides to share. On my first visit, I had the dry-aged bone-in ribeye (rare). Personally not my type of cut , it was mostly fat and pretty chewy, so not my favorite cut. The wagyu truffle burger was ok. But on my second visit… I had the Australian Wagyu and the Snake River Farms American Wagyu Flat Iron, and both were incredible tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend those if you’re going for steak. Also the Roasted Shallot Jus is a must sauce for the steak. For sides, the garlic truffle fries provably my favorite thing crispy, rich, and great with the steaks. As for dessert, the soufflé cheesecake was my favorite light, fluffy, and just sweet enough. I also tried the Chocolate Macadamia Torte, which was good too, though a bit too chocolatey (if you’re not into rich chocolate, maybe go for something lighter). Overall, DUO is a must-visit if you’re staying in Wailea or nearby. Great food and amazing Four Seasons service. I’ll definitely be back on my next trip.

We ordered the tomahawk which was delicious and cooked to perfection/ seasoned well. The only dissappointment is frozen lobster being used.service is fine dining. Servers attentive. King crab leg was a teaser but yummy and fresh. Spent over 200$ but everything was flavorful woth no issues with meal we ordered.

Duo for our anniversary was an incredible place to dine. The experience starts from the entrance to your exit. Everyone will genuinely greet you. Our waitress was amazing and took excellent care of us without interrupting my wife and my conversations. We had looked at the menu before arriving and had a general idea of what we wanted, but their whisky list was chocked full of unicorns. This gave me a chance to try the Parker series limited release. The bartender and our waitress kindly allowed me to photo the bottle for my tasting list. The food was seasoned well and exquisitely prepared. Beet Carpaccio was flavorful with burrata cheese and candied walnuts. The King crab legs were huge and we could have them warm or cold (we chose cold, but with warm butter), the ribeye and tuna were well seasoned giving them some amazing depth of flavor worthy of any high end restaurant (our compliments to the chef), and desert was special. With most restaurants being of equal billing in the resorts of Wailea, Duo stands out for the highest quality, greatest of service, and worth the expense! We will definitely be back on our next visit

I took breakfast everyday here, DELICIOUS Caramelized Banana French Toast, with eggs and bacon on the side. And you had dinner one night, the food was super good.

I cant say anything bad about this place. I came here to celebrate my honeymoon and the food was amazing and the service was on point, i cant remember my servers name but he was really nice he really made my honeymoon feel very special and if your reading this thanks alot man! My steak was delicious, the dessert everything. Great experience great food and loved the vibe!

Lovely atmosphere, delicious fresh food, warm service. You can taste the freshness of vegetables in salad. Some dishes are a little on the salty side, even the fresh bread, but generally very tasty and delicious. Definitely try to sit in the plantation side instead of in the theater. A little pricey for $$ ($115 for lunch for 4), but worth it.

Absolutely fantastic. We only got the small bites and chef's plates to share, but we got a lot! The surroundings and decor are also lovely. We'd hiked the sliding sands trail earlier that day and it was good to sit and enjoy the greenery with the food. It was refreshing to find a place that did such good fresh vegetarian food. Neither my husband nor I are veggie. Our server was Daniel and he was very amiable and provided a lot of insight and tips. Would definitely go back if we'd had more time to try the larger dishes.

Such a beautiful place to dine and enjoy the company of my sweetheart ❤ The setting is as amazingly beautiful on a different level, as Mamas Fish House. We ordered one dish each from Bite, Small Plate, Pasta and Entree, all were fabulously delicious, we savored every morsel! Portions are small, so take your time to taste each flavorful bite. We didn't have time to tour the plantation but will definitely return. The grounds are impeccable and quirky fun, there's plentiful parking and immaculately clean restrooms! We made lunch reservations, but it wasn't necessary, they weren't busy at all, but, I would highly recommend reservations for dinner! This is another must do while on Maui.

Had dinner here for my sister in laws wedding reception. The scenery is very pleasant and made for some nice pictures! The food I had was very good and my wife liked her food a lot as well. We all felt that the server was a bit pushy with us on ordering more food or drinks and was a bit of a turn off. I had said I was good with just ice water and got asked a couple times if I wanted a drink, seemed to be frustrated with people when they didn't want to look at a desert menu because we were all so stuffed. I'm not sure if this is restaurant policy or what but just seemed like it could be cut back a bit.

Outstanding location and exquisite food. Look for outdoor seating by the lagoon for the best experience. The menu changes daily, and everything is cooked to perfection. I found the sauces to be a little heavy for the fish items - since the fish themselves are so fresh and tasty that they don’t need a sauce really. Also, you must try any vegetable dish, as they are mostly from the estate’s gardens, and so so tasty. The restaurant offers kama’aina discount. Updated: so we were back two years later and the food is still exquisite. Service was a little slow this time, maybe due to a busy Friday evening, but overall a great experience.

Lovely views of the valley and mountains. Large patio with shade. The indoor seating is spacious with large doors that open to the patio. The staff are very friendly and make good recommendations. The ahi nachos, prime rib dip, and hamachi Kama are delicious. The cocktails are also fantastic—interesting flavor profiles and very well balanced. Highly recommend.

The restaurant had a fascinating decor with historical features added into the layout of the dining area. The ambiance was enhanced with the open air setting. The entrees and appetizers were equally beautiful in preparation, however the favor profiles did not match the presentation. The entrees tasted good, but did not have the wow quality that was present in every other aspect of the restaurant.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Fleetwood’s! Our server was fantastic and really helped us pick out the best items on the menu based on our preferences. If you catch some of the live music, it’s really great too. The food was decent, I enjoyed the seafood linguine but I do think it is an expensive place to dine. This is a great spot for a fun and memorable night in Maui, and I would recommend it if you want to treat yourself or your loved ones.

Went for happy hour. Multiple sequential host stand checkin steps, but was seated without in due delay. Happy hour drink pricing was excellent. We sat outside but under shade. Food came out quickly. We would go back. Be sure to make reservation in advance.

Killer spot. Excellent venue, incredible food. We didn’t have a reservation and waited 1 hour. Lots of bars within walking distance so no big deal. I ordered the roast chicken which was so moist! My partner ordered some fish dish which he enjoyed.

We had a phenomenal date night here. We came on Valentine’s Day, and had a reservation on the rooftop. Because of poor weather, there was no live music outside. Our waitress, Monica, was so amazing and found us a table inside so we could have our dessert with the music inside. I would absolutely come back!

Oh my gosh! Some of the best food I've ever tasted came from this restaurant. We made a reservation for happy hour and sat on the rooftop bar. Such a beautiful view and limited happy hour selection was perfect! The Fleetwood Mac n Cheese is to die for. The shrimp and oysters were delicious!! So glad we were able to get reservations!

Where to start? Had a wonderful experience celebrating our wedding anniversary dinner! Alissa our server was so nice, sweet and very efficient. Made an online reservation 1 month in advance for rooftop dining through opentable. Got in around 5:45 pm for the nighttime ceremony. They gave us complimentary glasses of champagne and a Happy Anniversary card. We had the chefs special for the night, which is shared by 2 people. It was a surf and turf special beef wellington wrapped in prosciutto, lobster, scallop, prawns with mashed potato and brussels sprouts. We also had a crab cake appetizers and drinks. Everything was on point from the ambiance, food and great customer service. I definitely recommend this place. They make you feel special.

Just had the most amazing dinner. Our server Travis and manager Brandy were great when they found out the original server had not come to our table for 15 minutes after being seated. Their customer service was outstanding! The food was very well prepared. Travis recommended the monchong and it was so tasty. My wife had the prawns and she adored them. One surprise-there is a bagpiper that plays for 20 minutes starting around 6pm. Very entertaining and he was the icing on top. Great experience and will cherish the memory of our meal!

My absolute favorite place on Maui now! I loved everything about it. The spectacular views, the ambiance, service, and great food!! We had the chefs special roll and the fuju (sp) roll. I had a chirashi bowl, he had roasted pork with kimchi mashed potatoes- YUM!! Excellent service, very friendly! Valet parking.

Great food, delicious sushi and solid cocktail menu. I highly recommend their fried rice. They do a great job of getting that flame kissed flavor from the wok and crispiness into the rice. Sushi is excellent and among the better experiences I've had in Maui. Highly recommend, especially if you're staying at the Hyatt in Lahaina.

We went to Japengo for our 4th wedding anniversary and they did not disappoint. They have a great outdoor seating balcony with great views. The interior deco is like a modern Asian / Japanese look that was cool. Tip* - you can just pull up to the front valet area and let them know you are there for reservations at Japengo and they will provide free parking for you. (Get your ticket validated at the restaurant) and don’t forget to tip your valet! We had the chicken and the steak. The steak was the best steak on our entire visit. Super moist and tender. Perfect. The jadori chicken was tasty, nothing wrong with it but it didn’t impress. We also got the mango prawn salad which could have been more / better. Clams were good in a white wine garlicky sauce - yum. I was eating this sauce with my spoon at the end. Many dishes were highlighting the shiitake mushrooms and the mushroom side dish was also good. Service was good, a little slow. We were done with apps and plates taken and waited another 35 minutes for our main course to come out. Seemed a bit long. We got an amazing dessert there that we think was the best one out of the 4-5 we had around Maui during our stay. It was a layered browny / chocolate cake and ice cream dish and it was very tasty. We would definitely go back and try more of their dishes. We were bummed we didn’t try the fish instead of the chicken. Next time!

The sushi here is great but they wanna kill you with overcompensating rice due to the restaurant being on hotel grounds and thus commanding a premium price. I'm ok with PREMIUM price but not premium rice portions. It ruins the fish ratio. Also, seating at the patio is hot and humid. This creates a problem as the fish get warm on first bite from the sushi chef's table. Inside seating is very limited. Definitely a hit and a miss. The curry seafood dish was just alright. Lobster was over grilled. With Masa name attached to it, they should really use better wasabi. They can afford it

The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful, and the drinks were great. The service was decent, but the food was honestly quite underwhelming. I’m from the Midwest and have had better sushi from my local grocery store! The rolls lacked flavor, and for the price, I expected much more. Unfortunately, it just didn’t live up to the hype. If you’re visiting Maui and looking for truly good sushi, I wouldn’t recommend this spot, but it’s a lovely place for cocktails and ambiance.

Japengo at the Hyatt Regency Maui offers a sophisticated dining experience with stunning ocean views and a menu that blends Asian fusion and Pacific Rim flavors. The sushi is top-notch, and dishes like the Kung Pao Duck Meatballs and Tengu Seafood Curry Bowl showcase the restaurant's creative use of local ingredients. The ambiance, complemented by attentive service, makes it an ideal spot for a memorable evening in Lahaina

Fantastic menu. There’s both inside layers of flavors were unreal and they combined some ingredients I’ve never tried before. All if it perfectly executed in a luxury setting. Come here for sundown! Nice selection is sake as well.

This place was fantastic. The service was personal and world class. All of the workers there clearly had personal interest in making sure our experience was fantastic and that we loved the food. They even took extra special care to ask what we were doing next what we have already done our vacation and gave us a list of things that we should check out that were local before we left the island. We will absolutely go out of our way to come back to this place again.

We stopped at Kula Bistro for breakfast after watching the sunrise at Haleakalā while on our honeymoon, and it was the best decision! We ordered the corned beef hash eggs benedict and the steak and eggs—hands down the best breakfast we had on the island. Everything was cooked perfectly and so flavorful. The service was wonderful too, super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Maui!

This a hard review, the place is cute and the food is fresh and really good with huge portions. I did however find a thin metal wire in my mouth from my spaghetti, I first thought it was a rosemary stem or somethingbut when I took it out it was definitely metal ....they said it was from the brush they clean the grill with...they offered half off my plate as a sorry. I didn't care to make a stink or anything but the more I thought about it ..thats pretty dangerous and their reaction was pretty non chalant lol ..... Otherwise the food was really good and portions are huge

A bit away from the tourists. Is a awesome tip for a amazing foodtour!! Great service, super cool menu, delicious food! The size is hammerd👌💪! Kaipo, congratulations!! Super good job from your stuff!

We stopped in after visiting the botanical gardens and had an amazing meal here. Great vegetarian options and unique flavor combos. It felt like a high end restaurant off the beaten path. Our servers were so helpful and attentive. We had the cheese curds, caprese salad and coconut shrimp. The highlight was the garlic butter served with the warm bread basket. Don’t miss their unique frozen desserts and pastries. We took some back for later

I was visiting friends in Maui from Chicago and this is one of their favorite restaurants. It is now my favorite too! The location is beautiful, food menu and options are amazing. Portion sizes are very generous. Service is fast. Bakery is absolutely yummy. Staff is attentive, warm, and welcoming. Our server Janice clearly enjoyed her job and people. She made us feel like family.

The food is some of the best I have had in this trip, price is reasonable for the quality. If you went to Haleakalā national park, stop by here for lunch. It’s a little bit of the drive from the park, but trust me it’s worth it. The food here is on par to New York City restaurants.

Last night we enjoyed another outstanding dinner at Matteo’s in Wailea! This place never disappoints. The service from Suki was excellent. He was warm and attentive. I began with my favorite blood orange Italian soda and Suki recommended to add fresh mint, which was a delightful touch. We always start with our favorite meatball appetizer, it’s the perfect way to begin the meal. The Cesar salad was fresh and full of flavor. Chicken parm is our go-to entrée, and we love that you can swap out the pasta to suit your taste (a small detail that makes a big difference!). We also ordered our other favorite dish, the baked lasagna. Warning, this dish comes out piping hot and packed with rich, comforting flavors, it’s definitely a dish to enjoy at a mindful pace. Consistently delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere make Matteo’s a favorite we return to again and again!

Came to make a visit to Matteo Osterio after seeing a clip of Guy Fieri eating here. Ordered Fettuccine frutti di mare squid ink pasta with crab, clams, shrimp, with tomato, garlic, white wine, lobster veloute sauce. Ordered Bolognese which is made with tagliatelle pasta with maui co beef and Italian sausage with tomato and Parmigiano-Reggiano. The fettucine frutti di mare and the bolognese were probably some of the best I have ever had. I know they are known for the Bolognese and lasagna but I highly recommend trying the fettucine frutti di mare if you make a visit here. Also ordered the tiramisu for dessert. The mascarpone cream was a little too sweet for my liking but overall it was a great and to a phenomenal dinner. Reservations are highly recommended. Parking is free and adequate spots located in plaza parking lot.

Brought the whole family out for disappointing, bland pasta. We tried the squid ink pasta, bolognese, and the chicken parm, but the best tasting entree was butter noodles… This was overpriced and a major misstep during our Maui vacation. The chicken was overcooked. The seafood was under-seasoned. The appetizers were fine, but not exceptional. The wait staff and venue are lovely. We just didn’t enjoy any of the food.

This place is a gem! The food was wonderful and if you’re gluten free they offer pasta options. We went on a girls trip and were all impressed! The eggplant appetizer was to die for but everything was soooo good. I am a foodie and I highly recommend!

We had the chance to visit Matteo’s while visiting Maui and it was by far our favorite restaurant of our trip! They have authentic Italian cuisine with a great variety of dishes ranging from pastas to seafood to chicken entrees. They are very celiac aware and offer great gluten free options including gluten free bread and most of their dishes can be made gluten free. Service was great and food came out very fast and was delicious. They have a wonderful wine selection as well! Beautiful atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor dining areas. Definitely recommended this place!

Wonderful Italian...my favorite restaurant on Maui. Expresso Short Ribs melt in your mouth! Service top notch. Worth the cost. Butternut Sage Butter Ravioli my sister's favorite.

Oh, how the years keep piling on. My gang took me out for my birthday dinner here. It was the first time for all of us and definitely won't be our last. LOCATION: They're within the Wailea Town Center, a small strip mall located behind the new Residence Inn Marriott. Parking at night was plentiful due to the other businesses being closed. ATMOSPHERE: They've done a great job with transforming the space into a very warm, inviting and chic eatery. Seating is a mix of in and out, with a small bar, all-glass wine "cellar" and open-view kitchen. MENU: Italian fare including apps, salads, pastas, pizzas, fish, steak, kids menu, happy hour. BEVERAGE: Sicilian Rose This Ketel One martini included prosecco which gave it a nice fizz and sweetened with a white peach nectar. Absolutely delish. So much so, I had four of them!? Or was it five? I wasn't driving so I didn't care, lol! FOOD: House Bread My dislike for focaccia is slowly fading as I loved this. Instead of butter, it came with a healthier hummus spread. Caesar Salad The chunky-cut Romaine leaves were fresh and well-coated in a creamy-tangy caesar dressing and sprinkled with shaved parmesan. Very good version. Bruschetta Al Tonno Because we were a party of four, we added an additional bruschetta so we could each have one. The raw ahi was utmost fresh and teamed with a mix of fresh tomatoes, salty capers, garlic and basil. Crunchy, savory, sweet; the best of three worlds. Bruschetta slices were a bit small but the wonderful flavors made up for their petiteness. Filetto I was torn between the bolognese pasta and this dish but after seeing pics of this, I was sold due to its mouth-watering dark brown sauce. The tenderloin was amazingly tender. I asked for medium rare but it came out more medium; no biggie. Flavor and moisture were strengths of this dish as it was doused in a savory, dark brown demi mushroom sauce. Total heaven. Stewed cherry tomatoes added a nice acidic balance. I failed to comprehend that the lumpy (a positive to me) mashed potatoes were infused with chunks of gorgonzola cheese, a variety I'm not fond of due to its boldness, and was the only downfall. DESSERT: I was treated to a decadent tiramisu in a cup, topped with a sole birthday candle. So sweet of them! One of my friends opted for the affogato which looked divine and must've been as it was devoured in a snap! SERVICE: Absolutely professional, friendly and took great care of us the entire night. Thank you! OVERALL: I'm being more austere with my five star ratings but Matteo's truly deserves it.

Gather on Maui is the perfect spot for a destination wedding! We had our wedding here on August 1st with the ceremony at the wedding knoll and reception on the lower lawn. Bella was extremely helpful during the planning process and helped us select food/beverage options. The food was amazing and the service was phenomenal. Our guests said it was some of the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We loved the upside down pineapple cake especially! The setting was so beautiful and the sunset was stunning from the restaurant. It was also conveniently located a few minutes from the beach, where my husband and I were able to capture beautiful sunset photos. The locker rooms were also renovated and pristine with air conditioning. My bridesmaids and I were kept cool before the ceremony. We have already talked about coming back for an anniversary trip next summer! Thank you for hosting us on our special day! 🤍🤍🤍

Great happy hour spot! It’s such a beautiful location and an easy drive from the nearby beaches. Cara was our server and was always checking in. We had a great spot on the patio, there’s lots of umbrellas as well to keep you shaded and the views of the ocean and the golf course are lovely. We ordered the classic margarita and beers, then I had fish and chips and my husband had the smash burger. My fish and chips ($20 at happy hour) came with three pieces of marlin and were very tasty and chips were crispy (in a good way, a few other places on island have served limp sad fries), my husband really enjoyed his burger and was able to upgrade to hurricane fries (our new obsession). I also got a side harvest salad and it was just ok (raw onions on a salad and needed some feta or goat cheese!). Thank you for posting the happy hour menu online, we were very pleased with our decision to come here!

Amazing food! Absolutely the best food we had on the island! We were here for a wedding and the food was preselected. We had steak, chicken, fish, mash, veggies.. all of it was incredible! The view was great and the grounds were well taken care of.

Went for Happy Hour! We were seated outside at a table for three in the full sun when there was definitely better options. It wasn’t busy so I don’t think they had to worry about the tables for 4 being booked up. Server was fairly neutral in his demeanour, not overly friendly but did his job. The drinks at happy hour are fantastic! We had the margarita and a pina colada type cocktail and both were very good. We both ordered the wagu beef burger! My husband thought it wasn’t any better than MacDonald’s . I enjoyed mine more but for the price of $19 it wasn’t worth price. Fries were fine but none of the meal was that hit! Probably should have sent the fries back! The view and decor is stunning! I don’t think you will find a better setting! We moved to the bar for another drink and to watch the baseball game! Jessie and the other bartender were great! We would definitely return for the happy hour drinks but we didn’t think the food was up to par ! There is better value out there for food !

Really nice place with beautiful views! I enjoyed my time here. Expect to spend $100+, it’s on the expensive side. The service was just short of 5 stars. I recommend the Mai tai drink it was really nice!

Gather is the best after we disappointed with others 3 popular restaurant in the area. Delicious Food, Great Service and Spectacular View. We were there for the first time and try the HH. Don't miss delicious Ahi tuna nacho!! Jay was very nice and great service. Richard the manager and the food runner also impressed us. We Will be Back again and RECOMMEND to Everyone!!!!

Amazing food and views. Had the three fish plates in the menu, all delicious. When you compare prices on the island, this is not a lot for the quality of food, service and ambiance you are getting. Would definitely go back.

Our server John provided exceptional service helping us understand the menu. He was very tentative, ensuring we always had water and drinks filled. The food was delicious, the farm to table concept came alive here, offering fresh and local ingredients from around the island. Between the four of us who dined, we shared our food, having the chance to taste more than what we ordered. Highly recommend sharing and here are some highlighted menu options: Grilled Octopus Salad, Coconut Clams, Waygu Hanger, Watermelon Salad (Apps), Risotto, Seared Scallops, Maui Caught Fish (Entrees). I wanted to extend a special thank you to John and Mike for an enjoyable dinner service and experience, the live music from below provide a special touch to an amazing dinner.

Came here for a special dinner and weren’t disappointed. The server was helpful and knowledgeable and the food was impressive. It’s expensive but can understand why!

A perfect night at the Chef's Table! Service from sommelier, Tia, was stellar, and the entire team in the kitchen took great care of us! The food was all amazing, we loved every dish. Outstanding wine list! Chef's Table or just regular dining, don't miss this place!

We experienced the chefs table here. Which was very cool. Sit at bar table off the chefs area. Watch them work and pre pare the food. They are a very well-oiled machine. The head chef came over numerous times to check on us chat and was super friendly. We had a six course meal that the head chef set up. You can opt to pair wines. The food was amazing. Definitely give this a try for something a little more personal or intimate.

Excellent dinner and we received good service from David. Food was served promptly and plates removed as we finished. Eclectic menu and a good wine selection. Beet salad was sweet with crispy kale. The wagyu striploin was good but not extraordinary. The moonfish was in a slightly spicy sauce.

Excellent! Been coming to Maui for years and always a bit disappointed with the food, but this place was the one! Yes, it’s on the pricey side, but with the setting and location, I expect that. Food, drinks, service all worth the 5 stars! We will be back next time on the island!

The atmosphere is amazing. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and it was delicious. The staff is so kind and sweet. Both the hostess at the front and our server were amazing . Last thing my coffee. It was so great. They were amazing and such a great part of our experience. Worth every dollar!

Food was great! Got the brussel sprouts cauliflower appetizer, ribeye steak and rice cracker crusted ahi tuna. They were all delicious! The chocolate soufflé was to die for! But what made my dinner experience exceptional was our server, Shannon! She was wonderful, super attentive and really made the night unforgettable! Thank you so much!

My family and I had such a great dinner at Humble Market Kitchin. I am a long time fan of Roy's Restaurants and have been to many locations multiple times. This location is no different-- it continues to uphold the high quality service and food quality I have experienced at every Roy's Restaurant. The water-front view from our table was just so beautiful! We were greeted with an amazing staff who provided high-quality service. They were able to recommend food and drinks for us that they thought we would enjoy just based on hearing what we like. Huge shoutout to Cody and Pili for their exceptional service and making our dinner such a great time. The food was also delicious, we enjoyed and finished every single appetizer, entree, and desserts that came out. The lamb was cooked to perfection and was so flavorful and tender. I cannot recommend this place more. Such a great place to share a meal with those you love!

I had a truly wonderful experience at Humble Market today. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast, which offered an impressive selection of breakfast and brunch items, catering to various tastes. Their special blend of coffee was absolutely delightful, adding a warm touch to our meal. Everything was not only fresh but also so flavorful. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, providing service that made us feel really welcome. Despite the bustling atmosphere, we were fortunate enough to walk right in and only waited a few minutes for a lovely table with a breathtaking view of the ocean. Overall, this place is truly a gem for a buffet breakfast, and we can’t wait to return.back.

No complaints here. Great service, great food (butterfish) and great cocktails (two weeks notice).

We tried the happy hour offer, and came quite late. Thus we're were seated in the least nice area of the restaurant. We found the appetizers to be quite good, although inconsistent in serving size. We had the calamari twice and one serving was half the size of the other. We came with a child and we didn't realize there was any keiki menu untill we left. I kind of wished they would have told us because all the happy hour appetizers we took were quite spicy.

Wonderful setting and view, onsite at Marriott Wailea Resort & Hotel, Sashimi was a Highlight, Braised Short Rib with Mashed and Local Veggies was really good, Butterfish is always delicious. Very nice service and excellent advice form manager on Wine choice. Thank you Went again 05/28/25 and had another very nice experience. We did the Sushi Plate again and it was excellent, super fresh and nice size pieces with an extra piece too. Ceasar Salad was also excellent. We had Grilled Ahi, Beef Ribs (served with lots of potatos and roasted vegetables) a Fish Plate and Sauteed Shrimp. Everything was very good except the Shrimp did not seem that fresh and/or were overcooked - they were tough. Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Ice Cream was very good. Thank you

The servers were super kind with the exception of one but it does not change the rating because she was just one person. We had a fantastic dinner and fantastic breakfast here. Dinner was excellent, it did take a long to get to us but it was still so tasty. Breakfast was a buffet and there were so many delicious options. The atmosphere and views were beautiful. For dinner we started with Crispy Calamari, I had the Blackened Ahi and my husband had the pork tender braised beef short rib. My drink was the Pumpkin Pie Martini, which was so 10/10. Dessert was the Pineapple upside down cake made with Maui Gold pineapple.

Truly great place for breakfast!! Another guest told us to get the eggs Benedict, glad we did, since they were truly the best we ever had! They prepare them with corn bread, there even is a veggie option available Muffins were great too. Very nice service! There is a calm and comfy place to sit outside with nice live music on the weekends. We loved this place!

Really cute local vibes coffee shop with counter service serving a full breakfast. They have espresso drinks and a case of house made baked goods as well. Breakfast was outstanding. A bit of a wait to get our food out but it was worth it. There is seating inside and on a covered patio. We visited in October around 9 am on a Tuesday and found parking l, stood in line to order for a few minutes and sat at a table right away-it was moderately busy. Definitely recommend this spot for the food and atmosphere!!!

After a morning visit to Haleakala, this spot is a MUST visit. Nonetheless, the drive here is gorgeous which is part of Mauis upcountry area! I think we had a little too much to eat, but I do not regret it. I had the Tropi-Mango Muffin, Ice Coffee, Berry Waffle, and two breakfast dishes that really hit the spot. Please be patient when waiting in line. There a are plenty of tourists and the options of food and delicious sweets make it difficult to decide on what to get. Though I didn't have everything on the menu, I did speak to a local and she told me she visits 1-2 times a week and has had everything on the menu. This speaks volume! Go-go-go! Enjoy and Mahalo for reading this. 🤙🏾

We stopped by after the drive from Haleakalā to get some breakfast. We ordered coffee, some bread pudding, loco moco and Reuben sandwich. It was so warm and filling, just what we needed after a cold walk from Haleakala.

If you're coming down from seeing the Haleakalā sunrise, this is the perfect breakfast stop! There's a bit of a wait, but the food was great. You absolutely must try their bread - it was so yummy!

Ordered iced mocha and a BLT sandwich. Both were very good. Loved the old charm atmosphere. Served organic Maui grown coffee.

Sweet classically dated building with a wonderful staff proud of the delicious food they prepare for their beloved guests who chose to din with them. I had the bullseye. Wow. We had planned to eat at the Kula lodge restaurant which unfortunately recently burned down. We happened on this place and were rewarded for the experience. If you find yourself close stop and enjoy this place.

Had the fresh catch of the day fish sandwich, it was absolutely incredible! Also, the purple rain adult beverage was delicious and came in a really cute tiki cup! Sitting outside right by the water it was Soo good! Definitely will go there again when I'm back on Maui!

Was recommended after our helicopter tours. Stop at the Maui Ocean Center. It is attached to the aquarium. Ordered rhe Canada's (Cathch of the day) which was Onaga (snapper) with shrimp and taro potatoes. It was amazing. We also ordered the tempura lobster tail. Different but still excellent. All the food was cooked to perfection! I'm not a shrimp fan but these were cooked perfectly! Our server Caysha was extremely nice and helpful. Food came out quick. It is outdoor seating so you have to deal with flies and birds and an occasional chicken but it did not take away from the experience. Decently priced for the quality of the food. We really enjoyed everything about this place! Highly recommended for service, taste, and view!

Food service and atmosphere was excellent, was a bit on the warm side since the restaurant is outdoors. The fish and chips were excellent and highly recommend.

The view was incredible and the menu offers a wide variety of plates. I ordered the poke bowl on the waitress’s recommendation. The bowl arrived and was a beautiful thing to behold. I picked up a fork and poked it into a square piece of tender fish covered in a spicy sauce. Then I made the mistake and put the bite in my mouth...now and forever more I will be seeking to repeat that experience. The bite was so beautiful, so subtle, so sublime, if it was my last meal; that would have been better….the taste was such perfection that I literally cried. I have never yet in all my sixty years experienced such an emotional reaction to a bite of food, but before that bite I had never known food could be such an orgasmic experience. The curried peas and the six minute egg….the beautiful and perfectly dressed salad…the sticky rice…all of it….a food-gasm I had never imagined possible. The bowl was $30…who could pontificate that such an experience would cost so little. It stopped all conversation and each person at the table focused on the bowl or plate of pleasure before them. They had different things. None of us shared bites of dinner as we devoured in a blessed ritual the wonder before us. Run, don’t walk. You don’t want to live another day without experiencing this food. Bowing down to the chef and the magic hands that put this together for us.

I had the Friday special with pork and Auahi so good my wife had the plantation burger.

The food was good, and the view was great. The staff was friendly. What surprised me the most, and why I can't give it five stars, is the lack of services for kids. They have a high chair, but that's about all. There are no special water cups with lids and straws for children, and nothing to keep them occupied while we wait for food. I would expect more from a restaurant in an aquarium where the target audience is families with kids.

What a disappointment. Someone at our hotel highly recommended it. My husband liked his fish and chips. I ordered the fish taco special, which the waitress said was mahi mahi. Took one bite and the fish was raw inside. Finally flagged down the waitress, who apologized and brought it to the kitchen. Then she returned and said the kitchen ran out of mahi so they gave me ahi instead. Hmm, not feeling very trusting now so I ordered the veg burger instead. It’s listed on the menu as being “served with coconut luau taro sauce. This secret, signature sauce combines the sweetness of coconut & the flavor of rich taro.” I get the burger after my husband has finished and it’s just the burger with lettuce, tomato and avocado. Dry bun. No sauce. I asked the waitress and she said it doesn’t come with sauce. Whatever. I ate and we left. Should have gone to the pizza place in the little shopping strip next door.

Best experience was the food. I got the Ceasar salad with fish and the fish that day was swordfish. The swordfish was grilled I believe, and it tasted pretty meaty which was great. The salad was prepared very well and tasted refreshing especially since it was a very bright day. The price for this was reasonable. The atmosphere wasnt bad, sitting outside but with shade. The service was not bad, just wished we got our waters sooner since it was a scorching day. Wouldn't mind coming back.

My recent dinner at Aloha Mixed Plate was absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, everything delivered — and the highlight has to be the swordfish special. It was cooked to perfection and quite literally melted in my mouth. I’ve had many fish dishes, but this one stood out. My wife ordered the Ali‘i plate and raved about the lū lū — rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. Meanwhile, my buddy went with the mixed plate and demolished it before I could even ask how it was. The portions were generous, the flavors bold yet balanced, and the overall vibe of the place was relaxed and authentically Hawaiian. Service was friendly and efficient, and the setting on Front Street adds that breezy island charm without sacrificing comfort. If you find the swordfish special on the menu, do yourself a favor and go for it — you won’t regret it. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lahaina who wants a meal that feels both local and top-tier. Five stars without hesitation.

There’s parking in front. As soon as you walk in, you feel the island vibes. Beautiful surroundings with a direct ocean view. Very clean. Friendly staff. The drinks are beautiful and well-made. Recommend the mai tai. For food, recommend the aloha mixed plate Which has a little bit of everything, including short rib, pork, chicken, fish, macaroni, rice. We also got the fish plate of the day, which was a bunch of swordfish fillets, and a delicious pineapple salsa on top.

👏🏼 Cute spot with delicious food! The kalbi ribs were fantastic as was the fish plate. Everyone loved everything, the mixed plate seemed like a great way to try a mix ⭐️ Go for the coconut shrimp and chicken wings to start if you’re hungry and you can’t go wrong with the Mai Tai! And if it’s not busy you might be able to sneak a peak at the luau next door

Laidback Hawaiian spot with a happy hour next to the beach. Came here for a late lunch and we were able to get seated immediately. I had the aloha mixed plate while my boyfriend had a burger with the furikake fries. The view was really nice, as we overlooked the ocean and could hear the luau next door gearing up. They have a parking lot and credit cards are accepted. The restrooms are located around the corner of the restaurant. It’s kid friendly and very chill.

The outdoor seating with a view of the ocean was the first thing we noticed when we arrived. We had to wait nearly 5 minutes for the hostess to return before we could be seated. All the staff we interacted with seemed rather crabby. When I asked the bartender if there was a hostess, he quickly replied "Just wait." When the hostess arrived, she asked if we had reservations. We politely replied, we did not and were shown to our table. The waiter arrived and started arguing with us about a dish. Not sure why that was necessary. However, we settled on our order and brushed it off. Meals came out and had a lovely presentation. The flower on the plate was a nice touch. The sauces used to season the proteins on both our dishes was quite good. However, all the proteins we had were way over cooked and quite dry. Perhaps we just came on and off night for the staff. There are many other Hawaiian cuisine restaurants to try.

Food and drink was phenomenal except the Mac salad was sort of too simple. I was expecting something else. On our first day in Maui we ate at one place and they had Mac salad that I was hooked since then everywhere we got Hawaiian foods with side of Mac salad I was thought I’ll have the same but actually this one was missing tuna salad in it. Jennifer our waitress was friendly and helpful. At the time we were there (Saturday), they had live music and make it even nicer to ending the evening.

Hands down my husband and I’s favorite thing we did on the trip. I had watched a lot of videos from Jordan and Erica on Hawaii Vacation guide on their list for best luaus in Maui. I’m so glad we went with Old Lahaina Luau! The drinks I had here were the best I’ve ever tasted! I’m a picky eater, and Im sometimes hesitant to try new things. I ended up trying everything and I loved all the food! The food was my husbands favorite on the island! I believe our server was David and our busser was Esau, they were both very friendly and provided wonderful service. The luau itself was very impressive! The singers and dancers were just incredible. We loved learning more about the history of Hawaii and really appreciated being able to see and hear their story. I would recommend everyone do this luau at least once, it was awesome and worth the money!

We had an amazing time! They greeted us with orchid lei's and a mai Tai and told us to wonder around and enjoy the sunset. We got to watch the pig being pulled out of the ground and they entertained us all evening. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. A great experience overall and the food was decent also.

Food for me was just ok. Pre-selected menu where the food options are not flexible. But this place is all about the atmosphere, culture and the performances by the locals. Me and the wifey had a fun time. The performances were spectacular. Alcohol could be better. Location is beautiful and has a good view of the Old Lahaina sunset.

Is it expensive? Yes. My wife and I only thought of that going into that but once we left we realized you are getting so much for your money actually. We went here for part of our 23rd wedding anniversary and we are very glad we did. Although the parking was a bit nutty, every single person we encountered was so very nice and helpful. The food was fresh and delicious. The presentations were insightful as were the dances and also beautiful to watch. HUGE shoutout to our server for recommendations on food and taking the time to explain every food stage to us in detail. Even the bussers kept our glasses topped off without fail. What else could you ask for during a beautiful starry Maui night? We haven't quit talking about our 10/10 luau experience since arriving back home. The night at OLL will be in our hearts and minds for a long time to come. Thank you.

My overall ranking is only reduced due to exorbitant cost to attend. The cost is VERY high. We paid $460 for 2 people. Our waiters were excellent. The Hawaiian vibe is off the charts great. The performances were wonderful but lacked an eye-popping finale. Alcoholic drinks are included. The food is authentic and tasted good, but I think my expectations escalated tremendously based on the cost and as such, I was disappointed with the flavor of the fresh catch and the solitary option for desert. Starts around 5p for seating and ended around 8/8:30.

We weren’t sure which luau we wanted to do, but we are so glad we chose this one. It is not apart of a hotel which makes it more authentic of an experience. The food was AMAZING! We were so full afterwards and it’s all you can drink so you definitely get your moneys worth. They also have demonstrations prior to the show and dinner where you learn about Hawaiian customs. Our server was very attentive and friendly as well as all of the staff. You also get to take home banana bread at the end which was delicious. Great luau and great experience.

I thought it was overpriced but it was well worth it from beginning to end Easy to locate.get to venue a little earlier as parking soon fills up Greeter lovely .on going in received lay. Everything moves smoothly and on time with a smile from servers. You do not feel rushed. The Everything was fantastic from Food drinks and entertainment..especially the dancing all while the sun going down and being told of the history of Hawaii. We were seated on the cushions front view.but it seemed wherever you sat the view was good. Service was excellent all the way through yo the end of the night. We'll worth $$$$paid. A night to remember and the kids that were there seemed to enjoy the atmosphere too.

We stayed in the Gardenia room. This b&b is the best kept secret in Maui. So quiet and peaceful, yet you can walk up the road into a cute town, and there’s a tequila distillery with fresh, delicious agave spirits directly next door (Waikulu Distillery). We did a few days in the resorts then ended here and are glad we did. Stargazing from the hot tub is like nothing ive ever seen before. We’ll be back!

Amazing experience hike visiting the national park area. Beautiful property and Helania took great care of us. The pool was a great place to hang for a chill morning or evening. Highly recommend staying here!

My husband and I loved our stay here! Helaina was very sweet and super responsive. I was a huge fan of all the nature and landscaping onsite. The pool was a fun area to hang out. We loved the location with easy access to the road to Hāna, Paia, and the cute little town of Makawao. I would definitely stay here again! We were in the Plumeria room, but I’m sure all of them are great!

This has to be the best value in all of Maui. The Banyan room is so spacious and very nice/clean. There is no A/C, but it's such a perfect temperature overnight that sleeping with the windows open is very peaceful and refreshing. Breakfast was brought to the room every morning promptly at 6:50am and consisted of 1 hardboiled egg, 1 baked good (muffin, banana bread, croissant), 1 package of granola bar, and 1 yogurt. (All of this is per person in the room - we had 2 people so there was double of everything). There is a pool and hottub on the property and is very nice to use. Very short drive from the airport.

We had a great stay here! Perfectly located to explore around Upcountry in Maui. Helaina was a kind, hospitable and gracious host! The rooms were thoughtfully appointed and very comfortable. Parking was ample and easy. The pool and hot tub were wonderful as well! The grounds of the property are stunning. Will definitely stay here again!

I recently visited Banyan B&B in Feb 2025 for a Women's Retreat. I've been to a handful of retreats, and I have to say that this was the best one I've been to. From the catering (Shoutout to Joe & Lauren from harmonious harvest located here in Maui) to the overall ambience here at the property. Immediately upon arrival at Banyan B&B, we were stepping into our own private oasis here on the island. Surrounded by birds singing, trees breathing, and comfortable accommodation. Helaina who manages the property was very attentive to me and the guests at the retreat, with everything & anything we needed. I am personally grateful for her as I was navigating a difficult time, and she showed nothing but kindness, patience, and compassion. Excited to return next year. See ya'll at the same time, same place! ;) Mahalo.

Where to start with this fabulous place? Quiet, clean, with a ton of old Maui charm and character. The rooms are tastefully decorated with Hawaiian art, and the views from the very private Banyan room out through the huge tree of same name to the ocean are to die for. All rooms have access to a well equipped kitchen. Reasonably priced, and the owner, Helania, could not be more receptive, responsive and friendly.

Outstanding meal. Every plate was perfectly displayed as the flavors perfectly matched. Dishes that leave you craving them days later. We started with the Ahi, followed by the octopus and ending with the crab Mac and cheese and filet migon. Incredible flavors, fresh as the ocean and seasoned so perfectly. Even the carrots were charred perfectly. We ended with the butterscotch pot de crème! This was far better than Merriman.

We happened upon this delightful restaurant. We didn’t have reservations but @5:30 we were able to get in & get a beautiful view. The hostesses were very nice & sat us right away. We had a great server as well, lovely lady whose name I forgot. But the food was so great. So many different flavors combined in unique ways. The cocktails were great as well. Very lovely spot right on the water!

A friend recommended going to Honu, so we came for our last night in Maui & all I can say is wow! The view of the ocean is amazing. Our server, Megan, was great. We were given a complimentary toast for our honeymoon & the food was delicious. It was cheaper than Mama’s Fish House but still expensive, although I think it was worth every penny. I’m so happy we came here before leaving.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and made a reservation at Honu Oceanside, and it may end up being the best decision we make on this trip. This was easily one of the best dining experiences we have EVER had. We sat down outside on the patio sitting right on the edge of the ocean, a truly breathtaking view. We were quickly greeted by our server Megan who was FANTASTIC, she was beyond helpful for us picking food and cocktails on the menu to try and she nailed every suggestion. She was quick to get our drinks and food out and was right there for when we needed anything all night I’ve never had better service at a restaurant. Appetizers we got the Cesar salad, Burrata, & the Filet Mignon Carpaccio and my god were they all 10/10. For dinner I got the Crab Mac & cheese, she got the Scallops. The only down side of getting the appetizers we got was saving room for dinner we both were licking the plate for everything they brought out. To cap off the story we were unlucky in the sense that we were told it never rains in this area and it has been going through a drought, and low and behold while we’re at this amazing spot Mother Nature didn’t want to cooperate. On the fly Megan and Justin one of the owners came over scooted our table under some cover, and made us feel as comfortable as they possibly could have. My wife was sitting there a tad chilly from the wind and rain, and the brought over a shall for her to put on. Seems like small details but I couldn’t leave this part out because of how above and beyond the went from the moment we walked in. Megan, Justin, and the entire staff thank you so much for making this a truly unforgettable dining experience on our honeymoon. If you have got to the end of this long winded review I would do anything possible to get a reservation at Honu Oceanside you will NOT regret it!!!!!

This place was truly the cherry on top of an amazing honeymoon! My husband and I went here for our last dinner in Hawaii before heading home and it didn’t disappoint. The service was excellent from the start. The view was obviously gorgeous and seriously the most ideal spot for a romantic dinner. But the view is a given, it’s the food, beverage and service that make it spectacular. Our cocktails were delicious and the chefs special (mahi mahi with lobster bisque risotto) was to insanely delicious. They sent us the cutest dessert in celebration too, a very nice touch. Book a table here! Honu Team, thank you for such a memorable and special dining experience!

Had dinner here recently after making reservations for an oceanside table and what an amazing experience it was! We were assisted by Jordan who ensured we had an absolutely amazing experience. She was assisted by other staff who all worked to make out experience wonderful. Appetizers included a very flavorful Kale Salad and Carpaccio. Main course included a grilled Mahi mahi and filet mignon which here made to perfection! Dessert included a dish I highly recommend, the Butterscotch Pot de Creme (picture included). It was so amazing we had to take an extra back for another day! Everything was perfect from reservations (highly recommended) to departure. We will definitely be back for more!

The best meal we had on Maui. Jerry and Pam took amazing care of us. The food was to die for and the service to match. Beautiful sunset view on the water. The scallops were the best we have ever had and the steak was cooked perfectly. Don’t forget the banana coconut crème pie, amazing. If I could give them 6 stars I would.

Chris and Eric (bartenders) were incredible! They truly made our night with their stories, jokes, and recommendations. We really felt at home. Could not have asked for a better duo at the bar that night. Thanks guys!

This restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience, with truly unique dishes that showcase exceptional creativity. Every pairing on the menu, like the brulee with port wine, is thoughtfully curated and absolutely delightful. Trust the chef—there’s no need for modifications, as each dish is crafted to perfection. If you're looking for a place that knows exactly how to balance flavor, artistry, and innovation, this is it.

Nick's Fish Restaurant provided the perfect backdrop for our anniversary celebration. We were so happy with our experience! The atmosphere was lovely, and we were seated at a fantastic table. The service was outstanding; our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly special throughout the evening. And the food! Everything we ordered was fresh, expertly prepared, and delicious. The 'Diver Scallop & Shrimp Scampi' and 'Moroccan Spiced Salmon' were a highlight. Not to forget the Crème Brûlée! Overall, we had an awesome anniversary night thanks to the wonderful staff, great food, and beautiful setting. A five-star dining experience we wholeheartedly recommend for any special occasion.

Excellent seafood and even the Filet Mignon was great. The steak had great flavor and was very tender. Staff had no issues substituting side dishes. The atmosphere is great and most seats have a view of the pool area and ocean.

I would say I’m a little disappointed in this place based on how much the bill was. The lamb chops were absolutely phenomenal, however, the filet was a little disappointing. The filet was a bit dry and simply nothing special. Also, the service was a bit too slow for my tastes. It was around 15 mins after we were seated that our server came over to greet us and there was a noticeable wait for food and drinks to arrive at the table. It’s not our servers fault as it seemed that he was running around all night with all of his different tables. But my last impression of this place was their macadamia nut brownie sunday and let me tell you that it made it all worth it!

By far my favorite restaurant I have eaten at in Maui. The views were impeccable, the food delicious and the service on point. Drinks were great as well. Highly recommend!!

My husband and I came to Nick's twice on our Trip to Maui. Everything we ordered was great - Mahi Mahi, waygu beef, crab cakes, potstickers. The first night, our server forgot us a few times, but the second time we went, our server was amazing. She took the time to chat with us and recommended some great spots on the Island (I think her name was Kiara). Would recommend!

This was the first restaurant we dined at during our recent (and 1st) trip to Maui, and it was wonderful! (We actually showed up late to a corporate event because I did not want to miss out on a meal here, and it was booked for the remainder of our stay.) We were seated at an outside table with amazing views – the evening was gorgeous! We started with the Hen Mouse, the O’o Farm Mixed Olives and the Cheese Board which were all delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the Grilled Fish Mai-Tai (so flaky and light) and my husband enjoyed the Lemongrass Curry. Excellent cuisine, top-notch service and amazing views. This farm-to-table restaurant is one you will not want to miss!

Everything was delicious. Salads were so fresh and tasty. Risotto was fantastic too. My husband had the chicken and he loved it. Dessert was great and their coffee was the perfect balance for the sweetness. We also purchased a bag of their coffee to take home. Location and service were outstanding. Absolutely recommended! You can't go wrong with this restaurant.

I never give ANY place 5 stars across the board. I had the blacken Mahi-Mahi and to my Cajun friends, it passes. Simply perfect! The wife had the grilled swordfish, again it was simply perfect. The chocolate bread pudding was delicious! Our server John was also perfect, knew when to show up, and when not to!

Amazing restaurant! Food was absolutely delicious. Great mix of flavors. They have a "farm to table" policy, all ingredients are fresh. I came in not knowing much about the restaurant, but was pleasantly surprise. The service was amazing too. Best food in Maui for the price! Also, great environment and view!

The views the restaurant has to offer are. We sat on the grass and had a front row view of the ocean and sunset! Try to get a seat out there if you can!!! I had tried to called and make a reservation and the woman on the other line said they would give me a call back, they never did. So I called back at 4 and another woman answered the phone and said they were full and only had one walk in table or the bar. Knowing that we couldn’t get a reservation, my husband and I got dressed and got there right as they were opening, and we were able to get seated right away!!! Overall the experience was good. Our service from our server was very lack luster, it seemed like he really didn’t care to serve us. But the gentleman who was coming around and refilling our water made up for it. We had great conversation with him and he told us cool facts about Maui. As for the food, we would recommend everything we got there!!! Try the banana bread Ice cream sandwiches l, they are unique and delicious!! I also want to let you know that it’s located RIGHT next door to a luau. So If you pick a night to eat there when there is a Luau going, it will be loud.

Excellent high end restaurant. We went for a sunset dinner. Creative craft cocktails, amazing dinner and desserts that will leave you wanting more. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The location on the beach is perfect.

I would have given 5 stars, but we had a reservation and we were seated a few minutes late and stuck me behind a wall when there was an empty table right next to us that was given to someone after us. It had the perfect view. Otherwise, the food was delicious and the server was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and options. I had the Blackened Fresh Catch. The sauce was spicy which is how I like it. My husband had the Herb Crusted Ahi. He said it was perfect. For dessert, we shared the Avocado Lava Cake. It was rich and creamy and not too sweet. High dollar restaurant. If you get a good table (which is most tables) you will not be disappointed by the sunset. You can also walk out to the beach and get a few sunset pictures while you wait for your table.

Seriously not worth the hype & wait!! This restaurant came well recommended in many social media platforms and reviews and SO….we went & were very excited but was very disappointed. Restaurant is mostly open air & most shaded areas were full that day. Despite telling my host that we would like a more shaded seating area away from the sun, he left us at a seat sun tanning under the sun when there were still some sheltered seats inside the building. We had to move ourselves to find a better shaded seat. We tried the Lobster & Crab Stuffed Grilled Cheese that everybody was raving about & I don’t understand why it has such good reviews. The bread was good, creamy sauce was okay but where is the lobster & crab? I can barely see or taste it! Fish & Chips was fresh but the batter was so poorly made, they were thick and soft. Chips were okay but we were not there for the chips. Lastly, we had the Crispy Coconut Shrimp which was nothing to shout about. Shrimp was fresh but small & it doesn't have the fragrant coconut crispy batter that I have tasted in other places & it was over-powered by the sweet Thai chili & mango salsa. Overall, Down the Hatch didn’t deliver & I will gladly bring my money elsewhere with better service & food anytime. Don't waste your time!

Our group had lunch at Down the Hatch - Maui one afternoon after doing a submarine tour in the area. We saw an order of the Lobster & Crab Stuffed Grilled Cheese going to anther table and knew we had to try it.. and we're so glad we did! It was so very tasty! We also ordered the shrimp tacos, calamari, loaded fries and bacon brussel sprouts.. everything was delicious! Even though it was a hot afternoon, we found a table in the shade overlooking the koi fish pond.. and had the best time!

Times Visited: 1 I came for the fish tacos and they did not disappoint! Crispy, with some really excellent 'melt in your mouth' fish, topped with a bunch of awesome ingredients made for really delightful fish tacos. Probably the best I've ever had! Though there is a part of me that thinks the ingredient ratio is a bit off... Tacos kept leaking ingredients when I would take a bite. But overall, excellent. I am mildly disappointed with the chips and salsa... Chips aren't much to write home about, they're quite hard and while they might be made fresh, they definitely weren't hot when they came to me so that magic is kind of lost. The salsa is also not much to write home about, and desperately needs a change to make the flavor a bit more BOLD. It's such a weak flavor it's hard to notice what it's even made of. But I'm glad it's included with the meal, and would rather have free weak chips and salsa rather than no free side. The Coconut Crystal Shrimp appetizer though? Heavenly PERFECTION. They could not have made a more perfect dish. Sweet, sour, fresh, fruity, tangy, crunchy... Excellent. No notes on that! The staff were helpful, and I liked how hands off the experience was, just ordering from the front (and thank goodness, you can get your own unlimited soda refills), and while the atmosphere was maybe a notch or two too loud, I like how it was a local musician and I'm overall happy with the experience.

I went there fully expecting a tourist trap. NOT! Phenomenal food, very friendly servers, helpful order taker, great vibes, pleasant live music, prompt service. Prices were right and did I say the food was awesome! A “must do” in Maui. Lava lava shrimp with rice and veggies is fantastic! Tacos were fresh and delicious and so was the sampler. I would encourage them to umph-up their drinks though. Cocktails were weak and left a lot to be desired. Stick to beer and standard stuff and your experience will be perfect!

The line of people waiting says it all 😋 The food was great great. We asked direction to the guy at the information booth and gave us a free lava lava shrimp cocktail ticket 🎟 and that lava shrimp was onolicious. The foods are all so delicious. Price is just right. Service is great as they put us in a lower table because we have a small kid with us. Our server was 👌 awesome.

Arrived at 10:20am. Before the lunch menu switch and I didn’t want to wait so we ordered breakfast. You have to order at the counter and then find a table. We all found suitable items. The women ordered a mimosa flight and enjoyed it to the end. The food came out quick and hot. Everyone finished their plate no problem. Happy hour here starts from 2-5 with entertainment. Definitely work the visit.

A great place for a meal! The food was great. We had the pork and grilled cheese and crab sandwiches. Definitely try the grilled cheese! Plenty of shops to explore after your meal. Update: came back a second time for breakfast. Food is still super delicious! Definitely go for breakfast as well!

Interesting flavors. Beautiful view. Beef and chicken are good. Flavors in rice and beans are very light. Topping cheese is lovely. Be wary of the specialty drinks... the flavors may surprise you. Give it a try with good company. Parking may vary, come between 4 and 5 for best options.

We had a party of four reservation. Beautiful seating right next to the beach. We had the additional pleasure of a beautiful sunset. Nachos and sauce are not free to the table so there is a minor charge. The salsa for the chips is unique. it was flavorful but it was different from any other Mexican restaurant I've ever been to and not a big fan of it. I tried their octopus which was cooked to perfection, very tender, just delicious. They have a butterscotch pot de cream dessert also that is very tasty that we had. We ordered margaritas. Typically we would order a half pitcher of margaritas when we go to our favorite Mexican restaurant however on Maui you cannot order drinks by the pitcher. The margaritas that were served were very flavorful nice size and reasonably priced and they were well made.

Tried to make reservations and were unable to. Were able to get a table though. The food was good although a little pricey. The staff was nice and we were a le to get tea refills but getting a diet soda refill was much more difficult. The guacamole was huge and came with its own chips. The salsa verde was a little bland but the pork had a good flavor.

Great food, great service, incredible views! I could turn around and watch whales jumping way out in the channel. Absolutely A great place. It started out with just three of us and eventually they added three more to our table 😝🤙🏽 and were super accommodating. Couldn’t have been more gracious and we had a blast. We all shared the dessert… 😋

We wanted Mexican food so on the recommendation of our concierge we went. We had a super friendly server named Michelle who helped us navigate the menu. Food was excellent! Loved the cilantro lime rice! There is ala carte items like one taco etc. that isn't listed on the menu and Michelle also brought us a small guacamole that wasn't listed. Great service! Everyone works together, filling drinks, clearing plates and taking care of you! Beautiful view while we dined outside.

There was a long wait for a table when we got there, but bar seating is first come first serve so we ate at the bar. The view is amazing for sunset. They have a great selection of tequilas. For food, go for the seafood options. The ceviche was SO fresh. Asked for their house made mango habanero hot sauce, it's sweet with a spicy kick and perfect on tacos.

Stumbled here on a whim. Service was friendly and efficient. The food and drinks were delicious. This is a casual setting situated right on the beach. They have plentiful portions and the food is tasty. Highly recommended if you’re looking for casual Mexican in an excellent location.

Great customer service, enjoyed the stuffed mushroom and calamari for happy hour. ribeye steak cooked to perfection. Gumbo was interesting, definitely not authentic but edible and seasoned like soup.

A high end steakhouse, slightly more casual than other Ruth's Chris on the mainland. Intimate atmosphere. The professional and friendly staff are excellent. The steaks are delicious. Various cuts are prepared to order on extremely hot plates. Aged appropriately and meticulously prepared, they're the best. Side dishes are a large carte. Each are the perfect accompaniment to the entrees. If you're not sure what you'd like, ask your server for suggestions. A full bar area is available. There is plenty of free parking adjacent to the restaurant.

A birthday dinner brought me and my gang to Maui's second Ruth's Chris, located in the Shops at Wailea. BRIEF HISTORY: The original Chris Steak House was founded in 1927 in New Orleans by entrepreneur Chris Matulich. The business was sold to single mother Ruth Fertel in 1965, who had no experience in the steakhouse biz. She was self-taught on the fundamentals of butchery and utilized her brother's restaurant space and family recipes to start up her new venture. After a fire destroyed the original building in 1976, she moved to another location but the sales agreement prevented her from utilizing the same name at a different address, so hence the new name of Ruth's Chris was born. ATMOSPHERE: I'm pretty sure the restaurant had a nice ocean view years ago before an empty parcel that backs up to the restaurant developed a hotel/condo that rudely took away their entire view. The inside is simple yet elegantly decorated. Seating is a mix of low tops and huge booths. The vibe was a bit dreary as the place wasn't that crowded, but we did dine at 8:30pm which could be the reason why. Americans eat so early compared to the rest of the world. MENU: Seafood-based apps, salads, soups, steak, fish, lamb, chicken, shrimp, desserts. FOOD: Escargot Five pieces came to a dish. Not many places on Maui serve this, so when available, I have to order it! Ruth's version was surprisingly good. The shelled snails were moist, buttery, cheesy and served hot. Louisiana Seafood Gumbo Thank you to those who posted pics of this as you're the reason why I ordered it! I absolutely love gumbo and had many-a-bowl in the motherland just last year. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought I was back in Naw'lins. Seriously that good. Savory, flavorful and I didn't share one spoonful! Highly recommended. Petite Filet & Lobster Tail (special) The steak was very good, the lobster tail not so much. It was moist but mushy for the most part. Was it under or over cooked? Old? Should've stuck with shrimp. Baked Potato I'm glad our server informed us that the sides are big enough for two to share. The menu description listed this spud as a whole pound, so my friend and I thankfully split it as it was huge! The potato was done nice and firm, moist and topped generously with cheese, sour cream and bacon (I nixed the chives). Roasted Brussels Sprouts This was a great veggie dish to split between the four of us. The flavors and texture were spot-on. Cremini Mushrooms I'm a mushroom freak and probably could've eaten the whole thing by myself. Whole mushrooms were done in a savory, buttery sauce and went well with everything! SERVICE: Host greeting was immediate and friendly. Jared (2019) took exceptional care of us. He has a great personality and sense of humor that made our evening that much more enjoyable. Thanks! OVERALL: Very good food, sans for my lobster tail. The prices are high but well worth it.

My experience is good because they have a really good service!!! My server was Brian and he is a really good server, no complaints!!!! Fish was good but the steak wasn’t cooked right! Good experience just maybe bad luck with the steak!!!!

This place is expensive, but definitely worth it! It's the best place I've gone to for steak here on Maui. Until my dad and I ate here tonight, I thought I knew a good steak. Thank you for making me realize I've been eating steak wrong for 40+ years. 😂😂😂 The service is excellent, the atmosphere is calm and quiet. It's a dining experience definitely worth the cost! Oh, and a word of advice; when they tell you a side dish/dessert is big, take their word for it. I barely finished my apple pie a la mode! Anyway, go check them out at the Shops At Wailea!

Came here to celebrate my honeymoon and im going to be completely honest. The service was in point, my server was very nice and professional,however the food wasn’t.. i didnt like my steak at all, it literally tasted like the steak from Chilis. I was gonna go to Spago’s at the Four seasons but i didn’t feel like catching an uber out there so ended up here.. they really need to make their food better because they claim to be prime meat but i dont think so. The day before i went to DUO and their steak was excellent. I asked for my steak to be medium rare but they didn’t really know how to cook it. I spent $250 dls and left feeling disappointed because I didn’t think the food was going to be that bad.

At first, this restaurant seemed like a top-tier steakhouse, but it didn’t live up to expectations. Our server, Blaine, was friendly and did his best, but he was clearly overworked, resulting in long wait times and inconsistent service. The appetizers and sides, especially the lamb chops, were excellent. However, the main courses were disappointing. We ordered three medium-well New York strip steaks—all arrived undercooked. Even after sending them back, two were still not right. We ended up cooking them ourselves on the 500-degree plates, but by then, we were already full. To top it off, it took a long time to receive the check. This was our first time leaving a premium steakhouse feeling frustrated and like we overpaid.

If you have not been here, you should definitely go!! It is the first Lahaina restaurant that was destroyed in the fire to actually re-open in Lahaina! It is not just a restaurant that serves Italian food, this is truly the kind of food you get when you eat out in Italy!! Completely authentic Italian!! We had such a hard time deciding but Romano was very helpful with our choices! We started with their daily special ‘cheese appetizer’ with wonderful tomatoes and pickled grapes…this was a WOW! Then we had the tagliatelle with bolognese and I had the MAFALDE CON GUANCIALE DI MANZO long, curly edged pasta, Chianti-infused Maui Cattle Co. beef cheek, Parmiggiano. Both so good and yet completely different flavours. Italians cook with love, they put their hearts on the plate and that is exactly what this was!! We split the Tiramisu for dessert, even though we probably didn’t need that! lol! Their cocktails and wine selection were also great! Their menu changes frequently which is wonderful too! We head back to Canada on Sunday night but I think we may need to come back Saturday night for the pizza…it looked sooooo good! Grazie mille!!

Ambiance-We went her as a family of 4 with kids. We got there right when they opened and made reservations. They sat us down right away. The owner was letting us in. There was soft music playing and place had only been open for the last 72 days. There were two stories, with indoor and outdoor dining available and we were sitting inside. They didn’t ask us what we preferred when we made reservations. Place was clean. Food- every single food item we got was amazing. You could tell they made fresh to order with really good quality ingredients. We got two classic margaherita pizza to share, gnocchi in sauce, the side of bread, 1 Italian soda each and lemon and vanilla gelato to end the course. They were all delicious. I would recommend all. They don’t have traditional branded beverages like coke or Pepsi. They Italian sodas and no diet options. Customer service- our waitress was nice and felt like they knew the menu inside and out. They were also accommodating with kid friendly modifications. I can see that all staff was working hard and tending to everyone’s needs. Price- it was on the pricey side. We spent $204 on the meal and soft drinks described above for a family of 4. I would highly recommend going to check this place out and I would go again next time we come back to Maui to visit.

We absolutely loved this restaurant! I had the alla norma pasta 🍝 which was delicious - all the ingredients seemed so fresh. My friend had the pizza 🍕 of the day, which was also lovely, with very fresh ingredients. Our waitress, Katie, was amazing - so welcoming, kind and friendly. We also overheard her being very gentle and wonderful with a little girl nearby who was too shy to give her order. The tiramisu was also amazing!

If you are looking for great quality, AUTHENTIC, Italian food, this is your place. The best food outside Italy. Staff is super friendly and helpful as well as knowledgeable about the food and the regions they come from. Trust me.....just go. Adniamo!

Pizza is soooooo yummy! My 7 year old finished a twelve inch. We thought we would eat just one and ended up ordering 2 more because they are amazing! Pasta is made fresh you can taste the freshness. Will comeback again next time I visit

We did not have reservations but were able to sit at the bar. We definitely lucked out being able to get in because by the time we left it was packed! Rachel at the bar was fantastic - she made us delicious drinks and gave great recommendations on menu items. All of the staff we encountered were so friendly. This was one of our best meals on Maui and we will definitely be back (with reservations next time!)

We are so happy and grateful that Sale Pepe has reopened!! Food is as delicious as ever and the owners, servers, and hostess go above and beyond with their kindness and care. Lovely new space and our dinner was amazing. This was the first reservation we made once we booked our trip, and we are also going back next week.

View and setting was amazing. Service was spotty. Asked for water a few times before getting it. Food was good. Tempura snapper was incredible. I would not get the baked Hawaiian next time. Unlike baked Alaska, the different components of the dessert don't really go well together.

Honestly, we were very surprised by how reasonable this restaurant was for breakfast. We tried to get into another local business but couldn't find parking. Cane and Canoe was right down the road and had plenty of room, complimentary valet parking, and a gorgeous view. It is tricky to find because it's inside the Montage Kapalua Bay resort on their lower level. You'll see signs for "reservations required" but that only applies to dinner service. We were seated right away without delay when we visited for breakfast and only a few tables were occupied when we arrived. It did slowly fill up though as we enjoyed our stay. The food was delicious. You won't be disappointed. Our server was nice enough but at one point all of the staff disappeared for quite a while and it was noticeable. It felt strange for a few moment but when they returned everything was back to normal. Overall a wonderful experience.

Great upscale restaurant in the Montage. Amazing dinner seat views of the ocean and back of the resort. Worth visiting for dinner if you are not staying on site. Great coastline walk from the Kapalua resorts

Gorgeous resteraunt that has indoor and outdoor at the same time. Fantastic service. The scallop on marscapone corn puree was pure bliss. The sweet corn lobster agnoletti was delectable. The filet mignon might have been the best I've had. The crust was amazing and cooked perfect. 48 hour wagyu short rib was packed with flavor and tender. Cocktails on point and the nice birthday dessert was rich and decadent. Worth the trip. Going back for sure.

Had an amazing breakfast here. We have eaten all over the world and this was hands down the best egg free waffle I’ve ever eaten. It was flaky crispy and tasty, not the dense dry waffle normally get when vegan. Literally the best ever. Chef Men is amazing. Our avacado toast was equally amazing, modified for our special diet. Thanks Chef and staff for a great breakfast. Btw, the fruit plate is amazing.

This restaurant turned out to be the culinary highlight of our anniversary trip to Maui. The service, food, and atmosphere were all at the highest level of fine-dining excellence. We were greeted warmly at the reception and, once seated, received outstanding service. The welcome taro bread bites with olive oil, butter, and honey set a perfect tone. Our starters — Ahi poke and octopus — were cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. For the mains, we had the chicken and the catch of the day — snapper. Both dishes impressed us with their complex textures and beautifully layered flavors, exceeding our expectations. Dessert was a delightful finish: coconut and pineapple creations that were simply amazing. It was pricey, but absolutely worth every dollar.

Simply wow! 1. Our waiter was amazing and genuinely engaged in conversation. His recommendations were spot on. 2. The Cesar Salad was in the top 3 best my wife & I have ever had. 3. Our main course meals were devine; fresh fish of the day and wagu short ribs.

You’re never a stranger once! Stumbled upon this awesome place on accident after a disappointing visit to another reservation and we were hooked the first night! Dominic is awesome! As fellow bartenders who have quite a bit of experience in this industry, we were very impressed! He really made the experience for us (enough to go back every night for the remainder of his shifts) and also made some delicious drinks! We also loved the sesame crusted tuna, all of their food was delicious. Mahalo for the amazing hospitality!!

ATMOSPHERE: P&C is located in the Shops At Wailea in a former sushi restaurant. The look is city eatery; a long dining room with high ceilings, big bar, regular tables & high tops, a second level loft with additional seating or for private parties, and a few outdoor seats in the back of the restaurant but with no view. PARKING: Free. MENU: Craft cocktails, Maui Brewing Company beer, salads, American apps, burgers, sliders, sandwiches, chicken/pork/meat/seafood entrees. FOOD: Garlic Parmesan Fries The hand-cut fries were thin like potato sticks, piled high and dusted with finely shaved parmesan, lots of minced garlic and parsley. It was big enough for the four of us to share. Great flavor. Deviled Eggs The presentation looked a little messy on the plate but tasted really good as they did a twist to the traditional recipe with the addition of a bearnaise sauce poured over the four halves. A little parmesan cheese and bacon bits finished the dish with fresh spinach to the side. Fried Chicken Wings I'll never understand why chicken wings are so pricey. Here, you get 7 wingettes and drummettes for a whopping $22. Was it worth the price? Yes, only because of the amazing flavor! Despite the description stating vinegar, my part Filipino friends insisted they could taste patis (fish sauce). Turns out they were right as we chatted with the chef towards the end of the night. It was a bit spicy, about a 3 on a 5 heat scale, but so delish. Highly recommended for the wing fan. SERVICE: It's a seat yourself kind of place, so I don't think reservations are taken. We were greeted by several staff members as we walked in, and scored a high top table at 7pm on a Friday night. We were given menus within 5 minutes, with our server appearing soon after. She was pretty much on top of everything, knowledgeable, and did a good job checking on us. OVERALL: Small but nice menu, great flavors, nice ambiance. A definite return.

Near the end of our little getaway I was feeling an itch for a pint of Guinness. Didn’t think a brilliant pint was going to be found in Maui but I did a little search anyway and found The Pint & Cork on a Guinness forum. So happy I came in for a visit. The pint was truly wonderful, really well poured for American standard. Really smooth, not overly cold, near 0 bitter factor. Yum yum. Aside from the pints the people here really make this place shine. Our bartender was Dominic, he was absolutely lovely to talk to, wish I had more time, would’ve been awesome to have an even longer chat. He introduced us to Preston whom grew up near where we currently live and that was a true mind blowing moment. This world is much smaller than we anticipate hahaha. My wife has never liked the idea of sitting at the bar but Dominic helped changer her perspective on that with such great service and chat. We shared a burger as well, very tasty but was an after thought compared to the service and pints. Planning to make a few more visits during our next visit. Cheers!

Great dinner spot and worth a visit after an evening of shopping in the mall or a beach day in Wailea. Had the tuna-curry and fish and chips and they don't disappoint! Lots of flavors. Good atmosphere. Would prefer inside. Special thanks to Aaron for the customer service.

Came in for a late afternoon dessert and drinks. Desserts were delicious. Drinks as well. Did have deviled eggs and those were interesting, in a very good way. Caught a photo of the last one ;-)

Having tried all the Mai Tais in the neighbourhood, this place has the best (who would expect that of an Irish theme pub?). If you like Mai Tais made in the Trader Vic style, you'll like their take on it. The people complaining here about the Mai Tais are probably the people who put pineapple juice and Malibu Rum in theirs like at the nearby hotels (make it how you like it, thats fine, there are no laws on this). But these are more true to the Trader Vic style, and they are a great take on it.

This place was great! It was super simple and the food was really good! We went for happy hour and the happy hour menu was perfect! We had the cheeseburger sliders, the Mac and cheese, garlic parm fries, and deviled eggs. I would order everything again! Our waitress was so nice, the drinks hit the spot, and the atmosphere was very lowkey! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

ABC Store's fancy schmancy location is at The Shops of Wailea at the north end. ATMOSPHERE: The store is clean and organized. It's like a supermarket and sundry store in one, selling all the usual groceries including snacks, drinks, clothing, beer, wines, and liquors. They also sport a fresh meat & seafood department with a butcher, fresh sushi that's made in-house, a coffee bar, and a small gelato bar. Of course my favorite is the deli that sells sandwiches, burgers, donburi bowls, and even local-style bento lunches. FOOD: Swiss Mushroom Burger IMO, the best version on the rock. Everything was moist and juicy; the bun, grilled onions & mushrooms, the patty... Melt in your mouth goodness. And mayo was already spread on the bun... Yes! Are they mind readers?? I asked for curly fries but ended up with thick-cut ones, which were still good. I asked for no veggies except for a pickle but received tomatoes and lettuce. It's a good sized burger for the price. Grab lots of napkins because you're gonna need them! Holla! Bowtie Chicken Caesar Pack These delicious little bundles of joy are stocked in the refrige below the deli counter. Bowtie pasta tossed with black olives, sliced chicken breast, and parmesan cheese in a creamy caesar dressing with a tease of shredded romaine on top. The perfect app and affordable. SERVICE: Everyone was friendly, helpful, greets and thanks you. The deli girls taking orders or cooks need to listen and read tickets better. The cashier was super smiley and welcoming. OVERALL: Really good burgers at great prices, excellent service.

Great place for local foods and snacks. However, the poke is very salty. The burger was very dry and kind of thrown together. The Dubai Chocolate Strawberry cup is indulgent (and pricey) - delicious!!

My Uber driver recommended Island Gourmet Market if I was looking for some authentic poke, and to my surprise, this place has a little bit of everything. Is it a gift shop? A supermarket? A mini pharmacy? Yes, to all of the above! It’s truly an amazing one-stop shop. I picked up some souvenirs for my family and grabbed a few breakfast items to take back to my hotel. The market is incredibly clean, with plenty of staff on hand, and there’s just so much to look at and explore. It’s one of those places you could easily spend a lot of time in, enjoying all the different things they have to offer. Definitely worth a stop!

Located at the north end of The Shops of Wailea. Within walking distance of major resorts. Fully handicap accessible. Plenty of free parking in the lot. Friendly and helpful staff. Perfect place for local food, snacks, (adult) drinks, pharmacy and toiletry items, souvenirs. Great poke bowls, sushi rolls, sandwiches and local desserts. Usually the fresh food is discounted in the evenings. Large selection of alcoholic drinks, liquors and cocktails. Significant savings over the high prices resorts charge during your stay - especially for drinks and comfort food. Highly recommended!

This is a review just for the deli section of the store. This is an evolved ABC store, and I wish all ABC stores had the hot food sections like this. The poke was priced decent and we got a poke bowl with an extra container of poke as well. There was a good amount of plate lunches to choose from, and we needed up going with the loco moco which was drenched with gravy. I was told by many others that the breakfast was the best but we didn’t have opportunity to try it out since it stops at 11am and we always came in the afternoon. Be careful when you come during lunch because it’s a crazy mess of a crowd and very overwhelming to someone who is there for the first time. Follow the crowds and the signs so you know where and how to order

So many choices to make for lunches and dinners. The sandwiches are meaty and fresh. There's something here for anyone, and prices are reasonable.

The staff was fairly friendly for a grocery store/market! Love the combination of a food market and gift shop. Super excited about the hello kitty Hawaiian merchandise. The pineapple is amazing and is definitely a must purchase. Was a bit disappointed with my poke only because it was fairly small for the price. The fish was fresh and tasted amazing. If you are getting spicy poke just be prepared the sauce is extremely spicy, more so than I was expecting but that could just be my low spice tolerance! Overall delicious, especially for a grocery store.

We stayed at Four Seasons Resort Maui for three days and had a mix of experiences. On the positive side, the staff were excellent—when we encountered a pest issue in our room, the manager on duty responded quickly with a solution, and Bernardo, who helped us move our luggage, was incredibly warm, attentive, and kind. That said, we were quite unsettled to find a cockroach in our original room. It was an unpleasant surprise and made us feel uncomfortable, especially considering the standard and reputation of the resort. While we appreciate how quickly the staff resolved the situation, this is something that we believe should not happen at a property of this level. Overall, we are grateful for the professionalism and kindness of the staff, but we do hope the resort strengthens its attention to cleanliness and maintenance so future guests can enjoy a flawless stay.

While staying in Kihei we visited the stunningly beautiful Four Seasons multiple times for unforgettable meals which became our favorite highlights of the trip. When we first arrived we were greeted by a friendly gentleman, Chris, who escorted us down to Ferraro's, the Italian restaurant. While walking thru the magnificent hotel he was sharing fun facts and we discussed our favorite travel destinations. Even though we were not staying at the hotel, he made us feel completely at home and welcome. We had a delicious meal, with fantastic service from Hope. At the end, we found that our drinks were comped, thanks for Chris, who had overheard it was my girlfriend's birthday. This is the first time I've experienced something like that and was blown away by the thoughtfulness. After that amazing experience we had to come back, and we had one of the best meals of our lives at Duo steakhouse. Our waiter Nick, provided some of the best service we've ever seen. He was kind and thoughtful, and really made the meal so special. I got the snake river filet, with a a side of the truffle mac and cheese.. it's been a couple of weeks since then and I still dream of it, it was so incredibly good. I truly felt compelled to write this review because the customer service was unlike anything I've ever experienced. The next time I visit Maui, I'm going to make sure we stay at the Four Seasons!

We had an amazing stay at the Four Seasons Maui! The staff was incredible — we had a few special requests, and they went above and beyond to fulfill them. We always felt genuinely welcomed. Their attention to detail was outstanding, reflected in the small touches you might not even notice elsewhere. The service was exceptional throughout the resort, and the sunset views from the pools are among the best in the world. I can highly recommend staying here!

Everything you expect from a Four Season's hotel and it's in Maui as a bonus. Service, atmosphere, amenities and location are all excellent. The rooms could use a refresh but even the rooms are at the highest level. We liked it so much we extended our stay while we were there just to stay here. A wonderful hotel and location. We will defiantly go back.

Nice rooms. Great food at the restaurants! Quietest hotel I’ve ever been at. I didn’t hear any of my neighbors or guests at elevators. Perfectly quiet, just how I like it.

We stayed at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea for our anniversary, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, every detail felt special — the views, the calm, and above all, the genuine care from the staff. A special thank-you to Boeker, who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. His kindness and professionalism reflected the true aloha spirit that defines the Four Seasons experience. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return.

It was truly worth it to stay here and experience all the beauty, amazing service, and memorable touches. Staff knew our names, preferences, and recommended amazing little experiences to make things better. The aloha suite was a wonderful place to refresh before flying home on our last day.
