    We had the Valentine's Day special. The food was excellent, maybe a bit too much food for us. It seemed a bit pricey, but overall, it was very good. Fortunately, we sat outside, so noise level was great for us, inside was quite noisy.

    We had reservations for 4 on Valentine's Day (dinner). We arrived a bit early but they seated us right away. The service was friendly and relatively quick for how busy they were. Our waitress Toby was terrific. 2 of us had the Jambalaya, 1 had the spicy Chicken Katsu Sandwich and 1 had the Coconut Crusted Fish Sandwich. Everything was hot and delicious. We'll be back!

    Everytime we come to Maui one of our meals is definitely at Honu. Love sitting by the water listening to the sound of gentle waves. The food is delicious! Spanish octopus, Ahi Tuna toast are so yummy. Fish is always cooked to perfection. Just wonderful!
