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.

There were 4 of us and we each had a Bloody Mary w/Bacon. It's a little spicy and the bacon has an amazing taste! We also ordered the Malasadas to start which were so good and fun to inject the caramel into the malasada, and swipe the lilikoi syrup when eating. We had the avocado toast, and it seemed the portion was not as large as usual, however it was fine as we weren't that hungry. 2 of us ordered the breakfast with bacon and eggs, which were arrived cooked perfectly as ordered. the other person had Eggs Benedict w/avocado, spinach and tomato with the yolks soft, as ordered and crispy hash browns were ordered by each one of us and they came out perfectly crispy! We love Mala Ocean Tavern and have eaten there many times.We always The service is impeccable and the entire staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Amazing experience! So many good choices. My husband and I’s favorites are eggplant appetizer, and butterfish! Adobo ribs are delicious, of course the star garlic noodle is definitely the signature. Only suggestion for the restaurant is I wish they could use a scissor to cut into the noddles somewhat when serving it so people can easily separate and share. This is definitely a must visit in Maui.

Our fresh fish choices were excellent. I had the parm. Crusted mahimahi with Avery light lemon butter caper sauce with mashed potatoes and heirloom colored carrots! Hubby had the herb roasted Ali.. spelling, very light swordfish with a sensational sauce, green beans and fingerling potatoes. He said his was outstanding! The Hula pie was great too! Wonderful dinner!
