We scored an amazing parking spot and beautiful view table to start off on the right foot. We've been coming here for years when pizza was the focus and the interior was rustic, but not since reopening after the fires and WOW! It's gorgeous inside and some of the best service we've had - hostess, waiter, bussers, everyone was excellent. We also loved the food we had. It's upscale and island prices, but well worth it. Everything was tasty and we enjoyed a nice bottle of wine. They will cork your leftovers for you to take back so don't be shy about getting a bottle. We're so happy this part of Front Street is surviving and thriving and we will definitely be back. read more

Honu! What an amazing dinner in Maui. My husband, was searching for a great whiskey bourbon experience during our trip. Someone recommended your establishment and we gave it a try. It turns out it was an awesome dining experience and he truly enjoyed the flight tasting experience! We made reservations for the dinner. You need to make reservations ahead of time for the restaurant if you plan to eat there. This small cozy restaurant has breathtaking views and the waves cresting against the coast was an amazing sounding experience. We started with a half dozen of oysters it was so fresh, the shave wasabi went so terrific with it. We added the beef tallow truffle fries and it was delicious as well. I ordered the chef specialty fresh fish dish and my husband had an osso bucco. Both were delicious and filled us up. He ordered a couple different whiskeys and he said it blended well with all the dishes. They had many options for dessert. We ordered Roselani's vanilla ice cream and a americano. It was the perfect finish to our dining experience! read more

Parking is tough, you will either look for one of the few spots along the dirt road leading up to the restaurant (which can be tricky at night), Lyft or be creative (couple next to us parked at Safeway and then walked) Staff are SO friendly, professional and make you feel welcome from the moment you enter the restaurant. Great view of the water (when it is light out) lively atmosphere. You have the option of sparkling or distilled water, wine by the glass / bottle / full bar and signature drinks. I love pinot griogio - wasn't thrilled with my glass (italian wine) but all good as the food was absolutely amazing!! We started out with the poke bruschetta - the chunks and freshness of the seared poke that just melt in your mouth got us excited for our main course. My husband ordered the cioppino - so much fresh seafood, flavorful base and perfect toast to soak it all up. I had the mahi mahi which was also very moist and flavorful, not over cooked which was placed over a bed of mashed potatoes and veggies with a lemon chardonnay sauce (it was so delicious!!) We were too full (generous portions) for dessert but the tables around us enjoyed shat they ordered - many shared or took home boxes. Great meal, it will cost you a but more than other places but well worth the dining experience. If you are visiting Lahina and want to treat yourself, book a table here! We will be back read more

I made reservations for this place and I think you have to. It is along the beach and they have a very small parking lot. Very few street parking. You will probably park in Cannery Row and walk over like we had to. We checked in and were seated right away. It was pretty much full. Our reservation was just after 5PM on a Sunday. The place is really sharp looking. My wife and I really loved the look of the place. Smart. The view was amazing out side towards the ocean with a few boats out. Stunning view. Our server came over and told us about the specials. He said everything was amazing on the menu. He was super friendly. I was going to get a drink but they don't have Remy here. So I went with an iced tea. The wife started with the clam chowder which was really good. I went for the mushroom soup and it was amazing to. For her main the wife got the Dungeness crab salad. It had so much crab on it and around the plate . She couldn't finish it so I had to . I had a hard time finishing it. SO you know we were stuffed. I got the Cioppino and wow. It was big and packed with seafood. The broth was yummy and all the seafood was fresh. I loved it. This was definitely our best meal on this short trip. The service was top notch and food so flavorful and DeVine. I totally recommend this place. It satisfies all the check boxes. I will have to come here when we come to Maui again. read more

We ordered the burrata and I got the special, which had mahi mahi and two garlic shrimp on a bed of risotto - it was delicious. I also got the Blood Orange Margarita and Mai Thai for drinks. We had the Butterscotch pot de crème for dessert and very much enjoyed it. The staff was excellent and the views were perfect. read more

My partner and I were seated at a table on the periphery of the restaurant adjacent to the beach with a stunning view of the achingly beautiful ocean and the lulling sound of the ebb and flow of the waves. The restaurant is modern and elegant and the waitstaff are friendly and very helpful. We ordered a crisp de Blanc champagne to start our evening, which was bright and lovely. Our appetizer selection was the Ahi tuna bruschetta on a delightful flaxseed, toast with amazingly red and delicious heirloom tomatoes, and a wonderful aged balsamic... so delicious! Next we ordered the lobster salad with cucumbers, hearts of palm, tomatoes, avocado, and drizzled with the most delicious vanilla bean vinaigrette. Our main course was the Hawaiian MonChong served on risotto. Probably the best fish dish I have ever had so tender and buttery. We ended our dinner with a butterscotch pot crumb and a banana cream pie with a macadamia nut crust. Amazing! Wonderful restaurant, our favorite restaurant in Maui! read more

You can't get more oceanfront than this place! The sunset is beautiful from any table and there are always honus (turtles) swimming by. The food here is delicious and the desserts are out of the world (butterscotch pot de creme is a dream!)! Our family loved the multiple fish options, most of them going with the special of the night. The waitress was a gem and was great handling such a large and demanding group. We highly recommend this restaurant and have told many local friends and tourists alike about visiting. read more

Honu Oceanside - Seafood Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Easily one of our favorite meals during our stay in West Maui. The ambiance is clean and inviting. We made a last-minute reservation for dinner and the only thing we could get was a spot at the bar. Ge was the main bartender helping us that evening and she was very friendly and welcoming. Although we were seated at the bar, we really came to eat. We ordered the "ahi bruschetta" (2 pieces), chopped caesar, and truffle fries to share. My husband order the cioppino and I order the fish special -grilled monchong, corn risotto, and shrimp. All the food tasted fresh, clean, and flavorful. I would recommend making a reservation ahead (unlike us) and try to get a nice waterfront window view around sunset. We left stuffed and enjoyed this restaurant very much! read more

We got the oysters to start and they were so fresh. Some of the my favorite I've had in a long time. We got the fish with mushroom risotto which was A tier! Service was excellent as well, it was my girlfriends birthday and the surprised her with a candle and cake. Ambiance couldn't have been better, our table was 5 feet from the ocean. I would give this place a 9.1 out of 10. I will be back in Maui in January and will definitely be back read more

Another delicious meal at Honu, every time we visit has been sublime. We were celebrating the festive season as a family together and the restaurant was full of families and couples enjoying the sunset view, the strong cocktails, and of course the menu and great service. Throughout our meal we had our server, the manager and sub manager all greet us and make sure we were enjoying our meal and that we had everything we needed. We ate too much, but with culinary excellence on offer it is difficult not to! DRINKS Pho cocktail - an unusual savory drink with stages of flavors that hit at different points, short glass adorned with herbs, satisfyingly different and one of my fave's on island Lilikoi lemonade - tart and refreshing Bees Knees - lavender tinted liquid and a honey aftertaste, guaranteed to get you buzzing Alcohol free beer - great to see this on the menu for the non drinkers/nominated drivers who don't want to drink soda all evening. It is becoming a trend and many restaurants are including it on their drinks menu which is fantastic APPETIZERS Mushroom soup - umami creamy goodness with a condensed mushroom taste and a herby oil drizzle to cut the creaminess, served with a sliver of toast. I love mushrooms and this hit the spot and left me craving for more. The toast could have had a bit more salt or flavouring, however it didn't matter as the soup was so yummy Poke - A large serving with purple Molokai sweet potato chips and melt in the mouth fish. Avocado adds a fresh hit. We all really liked this dish, and we live on island so are used to poke, but this dish took it up a notch. Delish Oyster shooters - served in shot glasses on ice, cool and spicy and oh so nicey MAINS Divers Scallops - I looooove this dish, I always tell myself I'm going to order something else when we visit, and always end up ordering it...lol. Melt in the mouth scallops nestled on mashed potato with a mushroom sauce. The scallops are huge, the gravy umami and the mushrooms add an extra texture, the mash soft and comforting. I wonder if they used sweet potato mash it might improve the colour and sweetness of the dish? Braised Veal Ossobuco - a huge dish of creamy polenta adorned with a large amount of veal, including a marrow fork to dig for the gelatinous goodness, veg and a port demi glaze to finish it off. My daughter devoured this with delight, and exclaimed it was one of the best Ossobuco she had tasted Fish of the day - Hubbs dived into the risotto topped with mahi mahi and 2 huge shrimp and surfaced replete and happy We were going to order a dessert to share but realized we just didn't have room, which was a pity as their desserts are deliciously tempting. With Kamaaina discount our meal became more affordable to enjoy a first class culinary treat on a special occasion. Bravo to all the staff who worked hard during the festive season to make our meal memorable. I think this is one of the best restaurants on island! read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday with family. Awesome dinner. All their seafood dishes were delicious. The service was great. The ocean view was spectacular. It's nice that they pull down the shades to sheild the sun, but not the views. The servers were so efficient but not overbearing. Perfect. Recommend read more

This place is amazing, it has a beautiful location and really kind staff. The food was also super high quality. Starting from the water, complimentary sparkling! The ahi bruschetta was so good including the amazing 20 year balsamic. It would not be classy to lick the plate but that balsamic was tempting. The pizza was cooked to perfection. Monchong wasn't as moist as hoped for but the extra sauce made it better. We missed the sunset but it would have been beautiful! The staff are really great. You never have to ask for a water refill. They were so on top of everything they actually cleared all the plates while I was still chewing the last bite. Highly and completely recommend this location. It is filled with both locals and tourists alike showing how great it is! read more

My husband and I dined here tonight and our food and service were amazing. Being right next to the ocean was a big bonus also. It is hard to be the atmosphere of true ocean dining. I had Mahi grilled and placed over a bed of Parmesan risotto. The flavor and textures were phenomenal. I could have licked the plate because every bite melted in my mouth. My husband had dore with mash potatoes and he cleaned his whole plate also. We were so satisfied with our food but we ordered dessert because their chef makes the best desserts. I had a chocolate mousse cake that was out of this world. There were even a couple of bites of Carmel corn on the side which I also enjoyed. My husband had a pot of cream with butterscotch because our friends recommended it. He said it was a little rich for him. It is hard to dine elsewhere on the island because Honu's food is so remarkable. We look forward to coming back again! read more

Came to celebrate my birthday and couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. Made a reservation well in advance but was able to change the time a couple days ahead of time with no issues. The restaurant looks great and is clean and modern with incredible ocean views. We were seated promptly in their covered patio section that is right up against the water. It was a bit sunny so I would recommend sunglasses if you come before the sun sets. I don't recall our server's name but she was excellent. Checked in regularly and was happy to provide recommendations. We started with the truffle fries which were excellent and a good portion. We also had a Caesar salad which was fine. For entrees, I had the filet while my wife went with the scallops on our waitress's recommendation. Both were fantastic and perfectly prepared. For dessert, both the pot de crème and chocolate mousse cake sounded great so we opted for both. I loved them both but would give a slight nod to the pot de crème. Overall, a really great experience and happy to be able to support a local business. read more

This is an incredible restaurant that consistently delivers on every level. The food is outstanding, and the staff is always attentive, friendly, and impressively organized. We usually order the Ahi Bruschetta, a pizza, and the kale salad -- all of which are excellent. This time, we added the filet and the soft shell, and both were absolute hits. A special thanks to Rich for extra special service on my daughter's 28th birthday celebration. read more

One of the best meals we had while in Maui. Yelp reviewers lead us to another phenomenal meal . We were able to make our reservations online for the same day and were seat ocean front, a true gift in July! There nothing more magical than watching the sunset over the beach and enjoying cocktails and dinner with friends. We had an amazing 3 courses with exceptional table service and wait staff that was truly phenomenal. Every course was so tasty. We had scallops for the starter, the. I had the fish special which was melt in your mouth and the sauce and risotto were on point! Then we shred a couple of desserts. My favorite was the passion fruit creme brûlée. All in all one of our best memories of the trip! read more

Spectacular seafood restaurant with an upscale casual vibe. It's pricey but worth it. Reservations are probably a good idea, but we got in on a Monday night with a little over a half hour wait. Service was impeccable, making great suggestions and guiding us to the best items on the menu. Be sure to listen up for the specials, of which there were many! Highlights of the meal: Grilled Spanish octopus. Tender and unctuous. Dore style fish. Classic preparation done absolutely perfectly. I don't remember the fish but this was a real favorite. Diver Scallops: dude. I could have eaten three plates of this. Lastly, we treated ourselves to the Banana Cream Coconut pie. Whoa! Why hasn't someone thought of this before now? Gadzooks!! I will definitely be back. read more

Vacationing in Maui for the week and 1st dinner of the trip and walked into this Gem. Didn't have reservations but was able to be seated with a party of 6 right away towards 7ish. Restaurant sits on the beach so you can hear the waves crashing. Server was very knowledgeable of the menu and directed us to some must tries! Food was on point! Chefs Kiss! The Scallops were phenomenal! And the Desserts....... yes we ordered 3 will try and come back for the apple pie before we leave back home! read more

OK, we wanted a special dinner for our last night in Maui and we found it! I think the pictures of the view from our table and our drinks, which were the best we've had in Maui on this trip, speak for themselves. Beginning with the hostess, the girl who kept our water glasses full and our server, the service was spot on, nothing left to be desired. We got the Burrata Mozzerella for an appetizer and what a great start! The whole thing was memorable, from the bread, to the fresh mozzarella to the dressing, it was a perfect start. She got the fresh fish special on risotto, which was amazing in taste and preparation and I got the Diver Scallop dish which was outstanding! Fresh scallops on mashed potatoes with Shiitake mushrooms and a delicious sauce, I may have to get this next time. All in all, this was a memorable and very pleasant experience and we will be back on our next trip. read more

Wow this was one fancy and elegant restaurant! We came on a hot July early evening and it was still a little uncomfortable inside. Nonetheless the staff and especially our server Jerry were very welcoming and made the atmosphere more pleasant. The hostess said the restaurant weathered the Lahaina fire with minimal damage. The ahi bruschetta appetizer was next level and worth the price. Everyone loved their entree dishes - Mahi Mahi, monchong fish, crab Mac and cheese, and lobster salad. The star of the evening was the Ciopinno with very generous portions of lobster, muscles, shrimp and fish in a wonderful savory broth. Definitely all had a wonderful experience. read more

With over 1500 reviews, what more does one need to say? Service was excellent, food was excellent and the whole restaurant has such a cool, relaxed island vibe. Doesn't get much better than that! We ordered a whole bunch of stuff just to taste everything: oysters, burrata, chopped Caesar, chowder, 'shroom pizza and the scallops. Like I said, everything was excellent and delicious. We had no room for dessert (apple pie), so we ordered that to go to eat a little later. That was probably the ONLY dish that was weak--too much pie crust/doughy, and not enough apple filing for our liking. Make reservations as this place is super busy and is only open in the evening! read more

Still amazing,we were so glad. Reservation essential, you can't go wrong here. Bring an appetite. Portions on mains are extremely large but so it the price. Don't miss the Ahi Bruchetta, and might be a long way from San Francisco but the ciopino is fire! read more

We were visiting from O'ahu for my birthday and my husband made reservations at Honu for my birthday night. When he made reservations, he also requested an outside table (by the ocean) to not only celebrate my birthday but also our recent nuptials. On the day of, we were greeted and seated right away, which was nice. However, they sat us next to the pillar/wall on the inside of the restaurant, which is the reason for the one star reduction. Other than that, their food and service was soooo good. For their buratta appetizer, I requested to change out the bread that it normally comes with for gluten-free flat bread and it was heaven AND perfect to sop up all the sauce from our grilled spanish octopus appetizer, which is by far, THE best grilled octopus I've had thus far. For entrees, I ordered the divers scallops gfo. It was so good and cooked perfectly, I ate everything! My husband got the fresh fish dore and he said it was good and ate it all too. For dessert, we ordered the butter scotch de cream in addition to getting a complimentary chocolate mousse cake. Both were garnished with a chocolate honu (turtle). Perfect size and both were delectable, we finished both of them. Our waters were always filled up and service was on point, i.se. clearing and cleaning the table to prepare for next dishes with new utensils). They offer complimentary sparkling water, served in a wine glass (to distinguish the difference). I thought that was a nice touch since I wasn't drinking but looked like I was lol. Overall, we will definitely return on our next visit and hope for the same quality of food and service because it was that memorable. read more

The food and service is fantastic so make reservations in advance so you can get in on your schedule. I ordered the Roasted Short Ribs that came with creamy mash potatoes and garlic mash, pieces of roasted garlic aside the potatoes to blend as you please. Fresh long green beans and a carrot wedge on top. I ate it all and was completely satisfied. The Feta Salad was great filled with many goods I felt it would have been more to my liking if it contained more leafy greens. I ordered a Manhattan and that too was made perfectly. read more

Perfection. I could probably stop there, but I can't and won't. While visiting Maui it was important to us to support Lahina resturants. While it's difficult for me to dine out due to food allergies Honu and the staff made me feel normal. With the exception of a few things most of the menu was gluten-free. I don't know where to start with the delectable menu. We had the octopus, Ahi toast, Fries. I had the momchong and my husband had the mahi mahi. we also had the kale salad, also amazing. Everything was cooked to Perfection and the flavors were balanced. Having a table right on the water was icing on the cake. The resturant reminded me of dining in Greece. Just when we thought we were going to burst we ordered the butterscotch pudding. mond blown. I wish we could take them back to San Diego. I left with happy tears, because I may not have such a beautiful meal like this for a long time. read more

We had a very disappointing experience here. When we entered the restaurant, we were told we couldn't bring in our sparkling water, so we respectfully left it at the front desk as instructed. However, after we finished our meal and paid, we were shocked to be told that our drink had been thrown away. No one had informed us beforehand that it would be discarded. Who gave them the right to dispose of someone else's property without permission? When we asked the front desk, the staff girl gave a very half-hearted apology -- it felt completely insincere. She ruined my mood and dinner. We followed the restaurant's rules, but was there any respect shown in return? Absolutely not. It's extremely upsetting to have something you enjoy, and paid for, simply thrown away without any warning. Maybe it's a small thing for the restaurant but it showed the detail of services! read more
