    Ever since I dined at the Restaurant at Hotel Wailea for my birthday 8 years ago, I knew there was something special about Zach Sato. So, when I discovered he opened up Haven's Harborside since I was on island last year, I made a reservation 3 months ago early for hubby's birthday dinner. Started off with a Maui ohana wagyu beef croquette creatively paired with a tomato jam, olives, and za'star. He got the fish of the day special that came from a 147 lb mahi mahi caught by Captain Derek that day, prepared with a creamy red curry sauce so delicious, we mixed the entire bowl of rice to get every drop of that sauce. I ended up choosing the kampachi, which coincidentally was the same fish with a similar acidic preparation as the one I had 8 years ago, but this time with more aromatics. I did forget that I thought it was a bit too acidic previously so preferred the creamy red curry preparation of the mahi mahi.

    Located near the Maui Ocean Center, Haven's offers a variety of seafood options and smash burgers. We went in late December and got an indoor table which was open to the outdoors, but without direct sun. The weather was fantastic, sunny, breezy, high 70s. Shout out to our server, Iris, who was awesome. She checked in on us a lot but didn't pressure us even though we were taking our time. Our kids even got some free cookies for Christmas time. The food- Verde Fish Tacos - tasty version of grilled fish tacos - tender fish + creamy smoky sauce with a kick Smash Burger - their award winning smash burger. Kids menu comes with nicely fried french fries. Garlic Fries - finally a place that does the name justice. A lot of restaurants will add fresh garlic to fries which winds up making them a little soggy. The garlic fries here are just as crispy as the regular. Hanapa's - the shrimp cocktail is more like a prawn (huge) and my favorite part, followed by the poke and the oyster shooter, which I thought were on the salty side. Great restaurant for a nice relaxing lunch. If you have a kid, the kid's menu is fantastic.

    Haven's started out with a small takeaway counter in Kihei which has since closed. They still have a food truck in Kahului and this latest brick & mortar in Ma'alaea's Maui Harbor Shops. ATMOSPHERE: They've taken over the former Beach Bums spot on the lower level. It's a spacious, open air eatery with a lively beach house vibe and has great views of the harbor and Haleakala. RESERVATIONS: Recommended as they were pretty busy on this particular Sunday night. PARKING: Free for kama'aina but a fee for everyone else. After 5pm it's free for all. DINNER MENU: American & Italian. BEVERAGE: La Perouse I'm guessing this is their version of a mule, which while tasty, didn't have a strong fizziness from the ginger beer. FOOD: Brussels Sprouts I normally wouldn't order this common app but it sounded good tonight, and tasted even better than I had imagined. No drizzle or sauce needed with its trifecta of sweet, savory and char flavors. Chelsea Farm Clams The delicate, savory broth was heavenly, with added smokiness from the Portuguese sausage slivers. Garlic Butter Fries Nom! The world's best fries have been crowned. Local Romaine Caesar A baby romaine caesar is few and far between nowadays. This version sported a more tangy dressing with light creaminess. Crispy Kanpachi Roll I'm not a sushi fan but this was insanely good. The rice to filling ratio was perfect as well. Local Style Mahi No kanpachi was available so mahi it was. Whenever I see fish done in a shoyu broth, it's an automatic order for me. I was surprised at the plating as the fish was presented in a bowl. But, it was necessary as the fish sat in a pool of the gingery, savory and tart broth, topped with sea asparagus (sea beans) and ogo (seaweed). SERVICE: My only gripe was the food delivery timing as the entrées came out while we were still enjoying the apps which crowded the table. Male server was okay and checked on us once. OVERALL: Average pricing, flavorful everything, good portion sizes. Highly recommended!

    Five stars for Haven's Harborside. This may be my new favorite restaurant in Maui. Local food, casual high class dining, exceptional service, delicious local dishes! Connor, our server was amazing. He needs a raise! Excellent customer service and polished professional. The food here is good. Really good. Appetizers, Brussel Sprouts - A Wagyu Croquettes - B+ Main dishes: Local island caught black snapper served with pohole (island fern) and fresh ogo (sea weed). Amazing. Grade: A Risotto with added scallops. Grade A Smash burger with fries. Grade A You can eat your meal inside or outside. Both have beautiful views of the harbor. Everyone from the host to the manager to the bus staff to our amazing Connor - they all made it an amazing experience.

    The Mai Tai's were delicious!!!!

    We had a great experience at havens. We were greeted by the owner Tavis. He was friendly and checked in on us throughout our meal. Nicole was our waitress. She was great and very attentive. The food and drinks were delicious. We got the steak with chimichurri sauce on it and the Mahi burger. The atmosphere was fun with live music.

    Appetizers

    What a great experience. Everything was amazing. The lobster was a special and you won't find it on the menu. The tackle box appetizer was very good as we're the clams. We shared everything 3 ways and there was plenty of food. The whole red snapper and papaya slaw was a favorite. The staff and location can't be beat with wonderful harbor views.

    I recently had the chance to check out the Haven's Harborside Fish & Chophouse in Maalaea, and it was a total surprise--in the best way. If you remember the space from before, they took over the previous Beach Bums BBQ, you'll know it had a bit of a dark and dated feel. Not anymore! The restaurant has been completely transformed into a bright, modern, and inviting spot with colorful touches that give it a fresh, modern island vibe. My coworkers and I went for happy hour, which runs daily from 3 to 5 p.m., and it turned out to be the perfect setting for a casual celebration. The happy hour menu provided a variety of choices. There seems to be a strong focus on sustainability as they work closely with local fishermen and suppliers to source only the freshest, ethically caught seafood which makes an appearance in about half of the items on the menu. They do offer a kamaaina discount as well if you sit up at the bar. However, we opted for a table during this visit. We ordered a little bit of everything from the happy hour options, and there were few standout dishes. The NY steak pupu, fish & chips, and chilled black tiger shrimp were all hits--fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. We also tried the truffle fries, poi falafel, and spicy tuna rice cakes. The falafel was just okay, and while I didn't personally try the rice cakes, my coworkers thought they were a bit too hard and not quite balanced in flavor. For drinks, I had the Baldwin Beach mocktail, which was refreshing and perfect for the warm Maui afternoon. My coworkers opted for cocktails, which they described as strong and spot-on for our celebratory mood. It's always nice when a place nails both food and drinks, and Haven's delivered. Service was another high point--friendly, attentive, and efficient--and the happy hour prices felt more than fair for the quality. It's great to see this spot not only refreshed in atmosphere but also delivering on taste and experience. If you're in Maalaea and looking for a place to unwind, celebrate, or just enjoy a solid happy hour with good food and drinks, Haven's Harborside is definitely worth a visit.

    Haven's Harborside feels fresh and new, In Maʻalaea Harbor with a gorgeous view. Across from the charters, the setting is prime, Seafood and flavors that truly shine. Wagyu croquettes, a tapa redefined, Brussels and potatoes, crisp and aligned. Our Rodbender Ono and Mahi Mahi catch became quite the feat, Two family-style dishes, sauces complete. Indoors or out, the vibe is refined, Resort-style dress with fine dining in mind. Service was stellar, the flavors divine, A Maui gem where seafood meets design.

    The burger was pretty good, and it came out relatively fast! I would definitely return to try more items.

    We popped into Havens for happy hour and it ended up being my favorite meal on Maui. People kept steering us to the sit-down pizza spot, but Havens quietly punches way above its weight. The oyster shooter was a standout. Super fresh with a pepper-infused kick, lemon, and that clean ocean taste. I was melting from the heat and it still hit. The Burger scratched the burger itch too -- melty cheese with that easy pull and a satisfying, juicy bite. I don't remember the fries, which tells me they were fine, nothing wild. The steak was the showstopper. Tender, medium-rare steak with green onion over that chewy-tasty base, super balanced and just delicious. $26. Service deserves love. Our server kept checking on me and refilling waters while I was basically overheating, and she was so kind about it. Absolute legend. Overall, clutch spot, great value at happy hour, and food that actually sticks with you. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Seating was cute with a view of the harbor.

    Gorgeous view by the water

    This was such a lovely little gem by the harbor! One of our local friends suggested Haven's as our meeting spot for a delicious and relaxing meal after arriving on Maui. The restaurant had a table set up for us outside for our reservation, which gave us a great view of the water. We ordered the cast iron focaccia as a starter while we looked over the menu. (It was so good that we got a second one for the table with dinner!) After we got our beverages, our waiter, Nate, made some excellent suggestions for our entrees. I decided to go with the diver scallops with xo and miso brown butter hollandaise sauces. It was stunning, especially since the hollandaise was partially foamed to make it light and airy. The scallops were cooked absolutely perfectly and melted in your mouth. We also shared the lobster mac and cheese and grilled broccolini with aged balsamic. Despite the generous serving sizes, it was effortless to eat everything! The food was delicious with truly quality ingredients, and we savored every bite. The service by Nate and the crew was impeccable. Our friend dining with us has been in food service for 30 years, and he noted how professional and thoughtful the servers were throughout the meal. We had a really fantastic experience at Haven's Harborside, and I would definitely come back here on my next visit!

    STUCK UP SNOBBY PUNK

    I'm posting pictures of my experience. I went in where it says entrance. A despicable punk came over and said, "Next time come to the entrance on the other end," and spun around and walked off. I went BACK out the way I came in and left. It's real sad that these brats have no manners and are representing establishments as stuck up and snobby, besides the fact that I am 71. There were maybe 8 people seated in the place, so I wasn't an inconvenience and besides that, it says restaurant entrance, that all other go in at the other end.

    Finally made it to Haven's Harborside! Came with the parents for Mother's Day dinner. They were busy but everything was still as delicious as I'd expect from Zach and team! Started with the crispy kanpachi roll. It came out quickly and was perfectly crispy and filled with such amazing flavor burst. Dad & I both had the grilled big eye ahi for main and we all shared the green beans and crispy potatoes. Mom had the diver scallops. We finished with an order of malasadas. Everything was fabulous! We all left very satisfied and full. We sat outside which was perfect. It was a beautiful night with great full moon views. Mick was our server and he was great! He was attentive, but not overly so, made great recommendations and was just on it. Great spot all around! Can't wait to go back and check out happy hour!

We ordered three large pizzas: regular cheese, margherita, and sweet kalua ($75). While we waited, we sat outside on the patio, where there was a live musician who was really good and entertaining. The staff was friendly and checked on us to see if we needed anything while we waited. It also seemed like a chill bar where people could grab drinks and hang out on the patio. We took the pizzas home, and they were delicious. Our favorite was the sweet kalua. It was not overly barbecuey or sweet, but actually pretty savory. The margherita pizza was good too. In general, their pizza stands out because there is not too much crust. It was not crispy, but instead airy and on the doughy side. The reason I am giving 3 stars instead of 5 is because one of our group members found a blonde hair baked into his pizza slice, not just sitting on top. That was disappointing, especially since the pizza itself was actually very good.

Walked in before 5:00pm with no reservation for a party of four. Well, that was a mistake. Despite idle wait staff and maybe only five occupied tables out of 20-30 total they made us wait for about a half hour. The reason was other people made reservations and were expected. When they finally sat our party the restaurant was still 2/3 empty. There was really no reason to keep us waiting that i could see. When you see someone in the party is disabled and using assistive devices you should be more accommodating. It kind of felt like we were being punished for not having a reservation. Also, expect a 3% service charge for the back of the house. Really, for the prices they charge for mahi fragments you could pay those people without a surcharge. Portions here are tiny. My mahi fragments were dry, over spiced and served with two unseasoned baby bok choi leaves and a slice of grilled tomato. For the price of almost $40.00. The beer was good and so was our server so they got one star for that. Otherwise, this place is touristy, overpriced and the maitre d' is slow on the uptake. Overall, there are plenty of great restaurants on Maui, recommend you try one of those.
