    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.

    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.

    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!

    We had the best oceanside dinner here during our trip to Maui. It is romantic and the food was so fresh and the staff were lovely.

    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.

    So nice we ate here twice. This was the best dinner meal we had on Maui for the food alone but also the staff and proximity to the ocean. You're practically one foot away from crashing wavea. And itals locally owned and located in downtown Lahaina. Support local!

    Cioppino
    Brianna F.

    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!

    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

    Ahi Bruschetta*
    Mel Y.

    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!

    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.

    Kale Salad

    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.

    Passion Fruit Brûlée
    Tawnya L.

    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!

    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.

We didn't have reservations and upon arriving at the host stand, the female hostess was snobby and did not want to help us and instead, the male host sat us down at a communal table with ottermans for seats. We didn't feel like crouching down to eat so I went back to ask if we could sit at the bar. We moved to the bar and ordered from the bartender; I got the lobster roll and my husband ordered the poke nachos. We realized there was a musician playing and wanted to move closer to the music. So I decided to go back to the host stand and ask if we could get on the list for a table close to the musician. The female host proceeded to snob me WHILE she drinks from her hydroflask. The male host stated to me that since we ordered our food already, we are not allowed to sit on a table since those tables have servers too. He also had an attitude. I asked very nicely and felt that they thought I was interrupting their deep conversations. The male host reluctantly stated that the tables open up after 9:30pm. Management really needs to school these two on how to talk to guests with more respect. This was on 11/14/25, approx. 8pm. As local kama'aina, we expected more but those two failed miserably. After we finished eating our food, we closed out our tab and moved by the musician. Needless to say, we were nicely greeted by a waitress who asked if she can get us anything. This place could be so much more but our experience with the front of the house was enough for us to not return during our trip. On the flip side, the lobster roll was really good whereas the poke nachos was okay. There's so much more dining options within the Westin's vicinity with great service AND food, like Leilani's Beach Bar (at Leilani's on The Beach) so we would not recommend this place BUT if you want a good lobster roll, this is the place to have it.

From the moment we pulled up, the service was seamless--the Complimentary Valet Parking is such a massive plus and started the night on a high note. We're lucky to see Maui's beauty every day, but dining at Son'z, with its incredible view and dreamy atmosphere, really makes us feel like we're living our dream vacation. It's easily one of the most romantic and stunning spots on the island. The highlight of the evening, though, was the hospitality. I was so stoked to run into Maranda at the hostess station--it had been a hot minute and it was so lovely to see a familiar face! The staff truly went above and beyond to make my dad feel celebrated, even bringing out a special birthday dessert (that looked almost too good to eat!) to cap off the night. And the food was absolutely incredible. We started with the Blackened Ahi (that Sake-Mustard Beurre Blanc is everything!) and the Pork & Vegetable Dumplings. For the mains, the Wagyu New York Strip was cooked to perfection, but the 32 oz Tomahawk Rib Eye was the real showstopper--especially paired with the Brandy-Peppercorn and Chimichurri. We didn't sleep on the sides either; the Bacon Mac & Cheese, Broccolini, and those Local Mushrooms & Maui Onions were the perfect complements to the steaks. Mahalo to the entire team at Son'z for making this such a memorable birthday celebration. We will definitely be back! XOXO, ChelsieFletcher
