The service and the food were impeccable. We had the calamari, two pasta, halibut risotto, and the tiramisu. We shared each dish and loved every bite. Definitely coming again soon. All of the staff were attentive and kind.

Really enjoy bringing back the salad bar. Always my favorite. How about adding soup to the salad bar with an up charge? This would be a game changer for patrons.

Love mama’s! We try to go every time we’re in Maui and it’s always delicious. Pau Hana is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Love the ambience too and staff is always very friendly.

Great location, excellent and attentive service. The food was well presented, prepared and tasty (seafood stew, Chilean seabass). Our wine and cocktails didn’t disappoint. And I like the ample free parking in the rear. Highly recommend.
