Best Hawaii Regional Cuisine Restaurants in Maalaea

We made 5:45 reservations for Valentine’s Day dinner. Our table wasn’t ready for 25 minutes after, but it was worth the wait. The menu was limited, but my wife and I found an entree’s that was delicious. My wife had ahi tuna and I had chicken. Both meals were prepared perfectly and the food was great. Our server, Astrid, was cordial, prompt, attentive, and competent. We tipped generously, as she earned it. Very nice evening.

On Valentine’s Day, my wife and I had a late lunch at Duke’s. We were seated on the lower deck closest to the beach with a wonderful view. Our server, Keeley, did a superb job and delivered our salads, a mango BBQ chicken and a shrimp & crab. Both were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will go back again.

We had a wonderful experience with a Valentine’s Day lunch at Monkeypod. My husband got the Mahi sandwich and I got the fish tacos. Both were delicious! We loved our server but didn’t get his name. Always have a great experience here.

We ended up choosing to sit at the aquarium bar. It was wonderful to identify the fish from their QR code. The wagu was prepared and cooked A++. We added a side of the local mushrooms, which were delicious and interestingly different than our local mushrooms. Friendly atmosphere. We’d certainly go back!

Once Again, Havens Harborside does not disappoint. I'm trying to order something new from the menu or the special because everything I eat is my favorite and I don't want to then get the same thing every time we go. And each new item is my new Favorite. The Lobster was over the top with flavor and so moist and the fish special was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The street Corn and the Broccolini are a oh so yummy. We had oyster shooters, Crab Ragoons, truffle fries & a lobster taco during the happy hour before dinner! Honestly the food here is addicting and cooked to perfection. Hats off to Chef Zach Sato
