    The Mai Tai never disappoints! I had the seared ahi special with the jalapeño mashed potatoes and it was amazing. Loved our server! Will come back next year of course.

    I was presently surprised by the service staff and the food! I thought Mama's Fish house was special, this was just as special if not more so!

    Fantastic fish tacos, gnocchi was extraordinary and drinks (go with the mai tai!) were the best we had on Maui. Very pleasant place, a bit away from the water. Cool vibe.

    We’ve had four wonderful meals here this week. The menu is diverse. The mai tais are the best on the island. Service here is also outstanding. Tim was our most recent server. He was knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. If we were staying longer we would return again. Can’t wait to return to Maui.
