 Island Seafood, Olé! |
2439 S Kihei Road Maui and Molokai, HI 96768 United States +1 808 661 9491 |
While the "punny" name is rather charming, it is a bit misleading. This place does not offer everyday cafe au lait, or anything close. Instead, it has food critics and travel writers raving over its inexpensive, innovative food, made from fresh-as-can-be local ingredients. Sample delicacies such as Blackened Mahi-Mahi with Papaya Salsa. Vegetarians absolutely must try the grilled vegetable sandwich. The array of tempting dishes changes with the season.

Inexpensive Snacks or Very Expensive Meals |
4100 Wailea Alanui (in the Kea Lani) Maui and Molokai, HI 96753 United States +1 808 875 4100 http://www.fairmont.com/FA/en/... |
Chalk it up to a side effect of the remodeling phase that has hit Maui. What used to be a small, casual deli in the Kea Lani has expanded considerably. The deli remains, but the outdoor patio has become a formal dining establishment. The deli offers an array of baked goods and sandwiches as well as pre-packaged gourmet treats and espresso drinks. It serves into the evening hours. At the adjacent formal restaurant, entrees range from Agnello ai Sapori (grilled lamb chops) to Risotto ai Gamberoni (rice and tiger prawns).

Deliciously French |
820 Olowalu Village Rd Maui and Molokai, HI 96761 United States +1 808 661 3843 http://www.chezpaul.net/ |
Even though you may not be able to pronounce anything on the menu at this charming country restaurant, the richly tantalizing, mouth-watering dishes are sure to please. Signature dishes include Poisson des Iles au Buerre-Blanc which is fresh island fish poached in a rich cream sauce and Carre D'Agneau Facon Paniolo Chutney De Fruits Exotic, a grilled rack of lamb with a Hawaiian-style barbecue marinade. Be alert the first time you drive here. The restaurant is just off a busy highway, and if you aren't paying attention, you may speed right past it. Review © 2007, Wcities |

An old favorite for fish dishes |
4242 Lower Honoapi'ilani Highway Kahana Maui and Molokai, HI 96761 United States +1 808 669 4806 |
For nearly 20 years, this place has been serving some of the freshest, most delicious seafood in the Hawaiian islands. The fish menu changes from day to day. However, favorites such as Bouillabaisse and Stuffed Prawns are always available. Shellfish lovers will want to start any meal with Erik's famous Steamed Clams or Oysters a la Erik. The comfortable, upscale decor features a nautical theme, wood paneling and potted plants. Stuffed trophy marlin and old fishing nets adorn the walls. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Romantic oceanside restaurant |

This romantic, open-air restaurant provides a panoramic view of the world-famous Wailea coastline. Come for the Early Bird Special, and catch a glorious Maui sunset.

Casual, tropical dining on Ka'anapali Beach |
2435 Ka'anapali Parkway Maui and Molokai, HI 96761 United States +1 808 667 6636 http://www.hulagrill.com/ |
If you are looking for old-style plantation dining in Ka'anapali Beach, this place will satisfy. Hawaiian fish like Ono, Opah and Ahi are the menu headliners, but steaks, ribs and even Banana Barbeques Ribs are also available. Be sure to sample the famous Hula Pie. This original recipe has been imitated all over the islands and beyond. The adjoining beachfront Barefoot Bar offers lunch, pupus and drinks. Both dining areas have scenic views of the island of Lana'i. There is local entertainment every day starting at 3pm and continuing into the evening. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Seafood on the lagoon |
3850 Wailea Alanui (in the Grand Wailea) Maui and Molokai, HI 96753 United States +1 808 875 1234 |
The name of this restaurant is enough of a mouthful to be a meal in itself—many people shorten it to "Humuhumu." Aside from its name, the restaurant has also received high acclaim for its delicious seafood and its setting. It floats on a lagoon, surrounded by tropical flowers. The signature menu item is the spiny lobster, but be forewarned: it costs a pretty penny. To anyone who is still wondering about the name, it translates to the rather inexplicable phrase "Trigger Fish with a snout like a pig"—the Hawaiian state fish. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classy sister to Pacific'O |
505 Front St Maui and Molokai, HI 96761 United States +1 808 667 4341 http://www.iomaui.com/ |
The latest brainchild of celebrated chef James McDonald has already won several awards for its innovative gourmet cuisine. The signature menu item is the Tiger By the Tail, which consists of tiger prawns and Asian vegetables. The menu suggests a wine for every item. The setting is modern and sophisticated. A breezy, sunny dining area looks out on the indigo Pacific. Just across the way is sister restaurant Pacific'O. Well-situated diners can often catch a glimpse of The Feast At Lele, which takes place on the beach fronting the restaurant every night. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Upcountry treasure |

Renowned for its sunset views, mouthwatering menu and reasonable prices, this restaurant does big return business. It serves contemporary cuisine with the Pacific Rim accents that seem to be required of all Maui gourmet rooms. Fish fans will want to savor the catch of the day, while meat eaters might want to get down to business with a hearty Black Angus steak or a rack of lamb. The breakfast and lunch menus are varied and extensive, though not as impressive as the dinner spread. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Awesome view, relaxing ambience |
2435 Ka'anapali Parkway Building J Maui and Molokai, HI 96761 United States +1 808 661 4495 http://www.leilanis.com/ |
Situated right on a small bluff overlooking the waves at famed Ka'anapali Beach, this open-air bar and grill serves full meals, sandwiches and tasty appetizers. West Maui residents and visitors alike can be found at the bar and in the tiered dining areas. Many of the seafood and beef entrees on the formal dinner menu (served upstairs) are prepared in Kiawe wood smokers and lava rock broilers, which gives them a unique flavor. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Everything about Mama's, from the decor to the service to the amazing cuisine, is first-class. Locals and visitors consider it to be the ultimate special occasion restaurant. The path leading up to the restaurant is lit by torches and lined with palm trees. Candles light the dining room, and most tables feature an ocean view. Appetizers include Tahitian Poisson Cru, Sashimi Salad, and Shrimp Won Tons with macadamia nut dipping sauce. The Mama's fishermen catch fish daily and everything is delicious. The stuffed fish is unbelievably tender and flavorful. The wine list is an award winner. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This elegant spot is a wonderful choice for a romantic dinner date, a special occasion or an evening of culinary decadence. It is located in the palatial Kea Lani Resort, a Wailea landmark. The outdoor lanai is surrounded by a lush tropical garden. Specialties include Greek Maui Wowie (USD8.95) (an innovative twist on the Greek salad) and Abalone Chicago-Style (with asparagus, shi'itake mushrooms & rock shrimp).
