Best Restaurants for Foodies in Maalaea

Service was excellent, and the food was excellent. You can choose a number of plates to share depending on how hungry you are and what your budget is. The vibe is trendy and upscale. The pork steamed buns and the "bacon and eggs" was amazing. I personally didn't care for the Lahaina Fried Soup - the Fatt Chow Fun noodles were so thick they were more like dumplings, which I'm not a fan of. But we still really enjoyed our evening here. Reservations are a must.

We were initially seated at a table right in front of the musician. I asked to be moved and was accommodated with a table on their lower patio. It was quiet and lovely with sparkling little white lights around the canopy poles. Our server, Robert, was excellent. He was very personable and helpful but never intrusive. His menu suggestions were terrific. The filet and mahi-mahi were perfectly cooked and served with yummy potatoes or rice and veggies. Salads are crisp and delicious as our their other starters. If you have room for dessert, they are decadent. My husband says their Mai tais are the best and the no Kai oi martini is my favorite. Merriman’s is pricey but worth it for the great drinks, food, and service. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time.

Enjoyed happy hour. The Gather Mai tai was excellent and extra with the ilikoi cream topping. Just $10 during happy hour. Poke was fresh, Brussel sprouts flavorful and spare ribs was finger licking good. Best view of the sunset… Make sure to save room for dessert. We enjoyed the pineapple butter cake with vanilla ice cream. So Happy to spend Valentine’s at this magical place. Excellent unhurried service made the evening extra special!

Once Again, Havens Harborside does not disappoint. I'm trying to order something new from the menu or the special because everything I eat is my favorite and I don't want to then get the same thing every time we go. And each new item is my new Favorite. The Lobster was over the top with flavor and so moist and the fish special was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The street Corn and the Broccolini are a oh so yummy. We had oyster shooters, Crab Ragoons, truffle fries & a lobster taco during the happy hour before dinner! Honestly the food here is addicting and cooked to perfection. Hats off to Chef Zach Sato

Monkeypod Kitchen was amazing. It surpassed my expectations, we had an amazing dinner. We ordered the seabass special and the ahi steak. Both were phenomenal. Mai tais and espresso martinis were delicious. Strawberry pie was to die for. We would definitely go back again. Also props to our amazing server, Ryan. He was attentive and gave great suggestions!
