Best Restaurant Ambience in Maui

This entry is part 20 of 32 in the series 2010 Best of Maui

Ambience – it’s a nice thing to have!

Maui Ambience

If you brought your tuxedo with you to Maui you will be sadly disappointed – nobody wears them here. Getting all dressed up on Maui is to put on an Aloha shirt! The ambience in Maui usually means surrounded by ocean vistas and tropical gardens.  A closed room with air-conditioning is fine on the mainland but that’s not why folks come to Maui.  There are 3 winners:

  • 1st Place – Mama’s Fish House
  • 2nd Place – Humuhumunukunukuapua‘a Restaurant at GrandWailea Resort Hotel & Spa
  • 3rd Place – Sarento’s on the Beach

Mama’s Fish House

Mama's Fish House

Who hasn’t been to Mama’s Fish House?  Well if that’s you then just call to make a reservation – you will not be disappointed.  Click here to see a video of Mama’s Fish House.  It’s expensive but that’s what you would expect to pay for such a fine restaurant with a stellar reputation.

Mama’s is a 30 minute drive from the Honua Kai and well worth the drive.  There is NO way you can tell folks you sampled Maui’s fine fish if you haven’t eaten at Mama’s.  We eat there at lease once on every visit to Maui and the Honua Kai.  Reservations should be made weeks before your dinner and months before if this is a holiday night.
