Worth the 45 minute trip from the Wailea resort we were staying at. This place is simple yet charming. You are seated close to the other patrons, so you inevitably get to know your neighbors. Everyone was friendly and seemed to be celebrating a special occasion. So spirits run high. Good vibe all around and the sunset and scenery are made for the movies. Food, wine and service were very good as well. Would definitely come back.
Great experience. This is the kind of experience you think of when you think of Maui. We had an Ahi Bruschetta, coconut shrimp, an avocado Caesar salad, the signature ahi, and the bread pudding. Excellent time there. Service was amazing.
The perfect brunch experience! Everyone should add this restaurant to their list of “must-go” locations!
Great experience and very friendly service! Will be recommending this place to friends and family!
Love Mala always friendly service and delicious food. Tried the lemon ricotta pancakes and lamb sausage TUMMY!!!
Our waiter, Joe, was fantastic! We just got engaged and they wrote us a congratulatory note on a really cool postcard and surprised us with welcome champagne. They also provided us with a table right in the water. It was a beautiful experience
This was my favorite restaurant on Maui for many years, but recently the quality of the food and service has declined. For new visitors to the island, it's a must-visit for the view alone, but sadly, the days of returning multiple times during the same trip are over. The good news is that there are many other excellent restaurants to try.
My main goal was to try to support local for Lahaina's recovery, and what we found instead was some of the best food and service I've had in years. (Including my recent travels to NYC, Tulum and Italy). The catch of the day was amazing. My husband really enjoyed his seared ahi. And the drinks, woah. This will definitely become a staple stop when we make it to Maui again. And, Lahaina is so Strong.

Our last night on Maui. Excellent restaurant down on Front Street. One of the few restaurants currently available there since the Lahaina fire of 2023. Area is making a comeback tho, and they need our tourist dollars.
Our waiter Rich was excellent. The scallops were exceptional. The wife LOVES fish and chips and the MAHI MAHI version of that here is now her new favorite so I gotta start surpriaing her on Tuesday nights at the house😏 Grwat restaurant to spend our last night's dinner at👍

We were seated on the patio and saw 3 HUGE roaches (and I’m from Chicago). I was very surprised. The food was good but with these prices I was expecting better.
It has a beautiful view and a great atmosphere and it’s a great place to support Lahaina! Go visit!

What a cute little restaurant on the water! The food was absolutely amazing. I had the fish sandwich which was very flavorful and we shared a Greek salad with shrimp. The salad was one of the best I’ve had! So fresh and wonderfully balanced flavors.
We got a free order of Ube bread and that is worth a table share as well.
Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful as well. If you sit by the water you will likely get splashed just be warned
