OMG, seriously, one of the best meals I can remember having. The service was awesome, the drinks (and hand stuffed blue cheese olives) delicious and the food was over the top. Don't miss the Ahi meatballs and lobster salad!!! I'm just sad that we are leaving Maui and will not be able to go back to this restaurant!

What you hear about Hawaiian beef being good is true. We're visiting from the midwest - BBQ and steak country - and my wife said the filet was the best she's ever had. The other three of us had dinner different seafood choices and none disappointed. Drinks were awesome, and Joleen took amazing care of our party. Give this place which literally sits right on the water a try when you're here! You won't be disappointed! It's every bit as good as Mama's Fish House and Merriman's, and being in the area hit hard by the fires a while back, could use your support.

Beautiful space with interesting and diverse menu. Attentive and cheerful service but not obtrusive. Short ribs and scallops and vegetables as well as kale salad were outstanding. Quality of food is quite high. However, prices were atmospheric. Can you imagine paying $20 for apple pie with ice cream another $5? Nonetheless, I would go back as it has the best food, view of ocean, and happy vibe.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Honu Oceanside Café in Maui, and it was absolutely wonderful. The oceanfront setting is breathtaking- we enjoyed dinner while watching a spectacular sunset right from our table. We both had the veal and fish dinner specials, and they were outstanding- tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Service was warm, professional, and made the evening feel truly special. If you're visiting Maui, don't miss Honu Oceanside Café- it's the perfect place for a romantic dinner with an incredible view.

Outstanding! The octopus appetizer was amazing, as were both of our entrees! This continues to be our very favorite restaurant!

Our favorite stop when we're visiting Maui! We always love the service and the food was amazing. The best part is our waiter, Rich. He suggested the special and it was delicious!! Can't wait to come back.

Fantastic from the moment we stepped in the door, it was a great experience! The staff was so enjoyable, and the food was on another level!!

Brian

Wow, what a view, great menu, outstanding food a tad pricey but your on the ocean. Great service Rich and the manager checked in on us as well. Absolutely loved it.

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 really enjoyed a few menu items (octopus appetizer is 💯) while some others were misses. Namely, don’t get the Fresh Fish Dore Style. It’s mid, so don’t pay $60 for it. They also happened to repeat garlic mash as the starch for both of our mains (garlic mash is repeated across most of the dinner main dishes). It’s a little disappointing because garlic mash is quite simple, and it would be nice to see variety.

Ultimately, I feel a little let down mainly because I had a superior dining experience a few days later at a similar restaurant that is a little less costly, but had an even better atmosphere, service and tastier dishes.

The best oceanfront dining experience! Let me tell you why… The hostesses were very friendly.
My server, Brianna was so nice and very knowledgeable about helping me with my gluten-free and dairy free accommodations. The food was amazing! They used 20 yr aged balsamic versus balsamic reduction on the ahi tuna appetizer and they make their gluten free flatbread in house, it was so delicious, the best I’ve had.
All of the staff at this restaurant were awesome! I met the owner and told him he has an incredibly special place with delicious food and great amazing staff!
I had the local fish special and it wasn’t mahi, it was perfectly prepared along with the vegetables.
If you’re looking for healthy food with delicious preparations, you have any dietary modifications, and you want to sit by the water and see unbelievably magic sunsets... This is the place for you and if you don’t have dietary modifications all the more you can enjoy everything!

The bartenders are amazing and super friendly and attentive. The octopus appetizer is TO DIE FOR! OMG! Wow that sauce was out of this world. The bartender, Sammy, was so nice and found the recipe for the sauce for us. Love it here!
