Being from Malibu, CA with amazing restaurants like Nobu within a 5 minute drive we certainly know fine dining cuisine, Fresh Island Catering is by far the best food I've ever eaten. Fresh fish, fantastic ingredients, great combinations of flavors, filling portions, immaculate plating. I can't say enough positive things about our dining experiences with Chef!

I have had the pleasure of experiencing Fresh Island Catering on two separate occasions while…read morevisiting Maui. The best way to describe it is, intimate fine dining. Chef Josh and his staff come to your house or condo and prepare an amazing dining experience right in front of you. You can either sit and watch all the amazing food being made, or visit among friends and family while it is being prepared. If you wish to watch, Chef and his staff will engage in conversation with you while cooking and serving the delicious courses they are making. For our 2 amazing experiences there were signature drinks which were flavorful and refreshing. It is a succulent, intimate and personal experience for you and your loved ones that you will never forget. The food is as good as any I have ever had, maybe a little better because of the experience that comes with it. Chef will go over the menu when you make a reservation. I have had two dinners, however they also do a brunch which we plan on trying next time we visit. I unfortunately did not take pictures either time because I was at family functions both times and we did not have our phones with us, my photo is the amazing meal we had at our second dinner. This is an amazing experience that I highly recommend.

It was a great decision. The wedding and reception were outside, at the oceanfront with waves crashing in the background, late afternoon into evening. The food was fabulous. I'll let the menu speak for itself: Passed appetizers: - Strawberry and pineapple skewers - Coconut shrimp with marmalade - Brie and mushroom in pastry cup with mango chutney - Kalua pork pot stickers with BBQ sauce - plus a terrific sushi and sashimi bar. Dinner stations: - "Island Favorites Buffet." Kalbi ribs, macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi with passionfruit beurre blanc, wasabi potato casserole, and sugar snap peas with sesame and ginger. - "Carving Station and Salads." Sirloin of beef and pork loin, with mint jelly, Maui Gold pineapple chutney, and horseradish sauce. Hawaiian sweet bread rolls. Upcountry baby Romaine with Kula corn, dried mango, toasted macadamia nuts, and citrus vinaigrette. Marinated Kamuela tomatoes, shaved Maui onions, and Surfin Goat dairy cheese crumble. - "Stir Fry Station." Beef, shrimp, scallops, chicken, tofu, an assortment of vegetables, Soba noodles, penne pasta, jasmine rice, ginger garlic sauce, lemongrass sauce and spicy coconut sauce. - And the shusi/sashimi bar continued through dinner. Dessert was Chef Gannon's famous individual pineapple upside down cakes with vanilla ice cream (with bowls of berries for those that couldn't do the dairy/gluten issue). The presentations, serving setups (ie, marble slabs for the sushi station) and attitude of the staff were all as good as it gets. Even Bev Gannon herself showed up pre-wedding to see how the setup was going.

The prime rib was juicy, tender, tasty, cooked to perfection, and came with au jus and creamy horseradish. The mahi mahi fish was the perfect balance.

This was so delicious we wanted to hana hou this for dinner a 2nd Sunday in a row, but they were not there. From their website, you can hire them for catering and private events. Would definitely consider them for a future party or event. In the meantime, I will follow them on Instagram for their next Sunday Nite Market appearance.

Best food truck experience since Burger Boyz down in Kihei!…read more Best REAL BBQ on Maui, hands down, but it's only on Thursdays. It's no secret that when people in Hawaii think "BBQ," it's standard plate lunch fare. The rest of the menu is fantastic, but Thursday's are the truth. So far, I have had their bodacious beef ribs, brisket, and smoked turkey. All were mouth watering and smoked and seasoned to perfection with big portions. The bakery has also not disappointed. My only knock is that a couple times they haven't been open when the schedule said they should. Normally this might turn me off, but there is literally nowhere else on this island to get this kind of barbecue experience.

We have been here 5 days eating poke everyday so it was time to change it up. Being Chinese, I was drawn to the roast pork which I saw being chopped up as well as char siu and joong ( sold out). So, went with the half pound of roast pork and 4 manapuas aka BBQ pork buns. Even before we left the parking lot, I opened up the roast pork and we each took a bite. We both said "wow, it's so tender, juicy and flavorful". Hubby noted the 5 spice powder seasoning as well. When we got back to the room, I opened up the box and started dipping the roast pork in the mustard based sauce. Double yummy! The roast pork in the manapua is tender, perfect sweetness and plentiful. Next time we come to Maui, we are going to check out their shop. Amazing!!!

I had been initially referred to Tiffany Ward through my wedding coordinator & I'm so glad I booked Tiffany. I booked them in 2016 & unfortunately had to postpone our wedding to 2019 due to health reasons & chemo treatment. Tiffany was very understanding & was so wonderful to work with. She was responsive with all my emails, texts & phone calls. She also coordinated the equipment & furniture set up so it was one less thing for me to focus on. Tiffany helped me determine how much alcohol to purchase & accomodated my guests' dietary needs (gluten & chocolate allergy). Tiffany made our wedding go so smoothly. The appetizers, drinks & the main course meals were amazing! The tri tip was medium rare (cooked to perfection) & the mahi mahi was amazingly lousy & tasty! It's so difficult to cook for large catered groups that I wasn't expecting too much. Wow, was I blown away by the food! I ate as much as I could during dinner. At the end of the evening Tiffany had kindly packed a meal for my husband & me. Once we got home around midnight, we devoured our packed meals & they were just as tasty! Tiffany catered & helped coordinate a large part of the wedding. She also set my the ceremony chairs, reception tables w/ the centerpieces, a kids corner with blankets & pillows, 2 separate lounge seating areas for the guests. She also had to coordinate where our shaved ice vendors, malasada delivery & Photobooth vendors would set it. The day went along so smoothly mainly due to Tiffany. I highly recommend Maui Catering Services!
