First off, I want to say shoutout to Astrid who was our phenomenal server! She treated us very well and made our night feel special. She knew the menu well and was great at describing the dishes. Loved the overall service here plus you get to pick sparkling or still water. Drinks were both really good! Got the lilikoi and coconut one. Grilled octopus appetizer - Omg, this was the best grilled octopus I have ever had! It was soooo tender, did not even need a knife to cut through it, and it was like butter. Cooked to perfection! Would come here again just for this. The sauces and spread also complimented the dish well. Ahi Bruschetta - this one was a bit messy to eat . The flavors were ok, I felt like there was something missing. But the ahi tasted great! Diver Scallop entree - The scallops on here were huge, but were a bit undercooked. Golden brown on both sides but the middle was more on the raw side. Still tasted amazing! I loved the garlic mashed potatoes. The sauce of the mushrooms tasted a bit too much like vinegar for my liking. Cioppino - There was a generous portion of seafood in this. The broth taste is on the lighter side. The seafood was a bit overcooked. The fish was dry and shrimp was a bit tough. Still overall decent dish, if it wasn't overcooked it would have been so good! The views are amazing especially during the sunset! Would come here again to try their other dishes and drinks.

This place was so nice and beautiful. Right by the water we dined at sunset. Fresh scallops, fresh oysters. They have a full bar and the service is impeccable! It was my birthday and they offered me a birthday dessert with a candle!

We dined next door the night before, but after eating at Honu Oceanside I wished we would have eaten here two nights in a row. The food was that good. The staff were attentive and the drinks were amazing! We sat at the bar and ordered the truffle fries to start along with another appetizer but the portion of truffle fries could have fed 4 people. We each had a main dish which afterward we were stuffed. The atmosphere is great, the restaurant has a modern design but you need to make a reservation. They were fully booked when we walked in, luckily we had a resy but the people ahead of us had only booked a 2 top and wanted a 4 top. When in Maui, go to Honu for an elevated dinning experience.

Beautiful sunset

We had an incredible dinner at Honu Oceanside!! We started with the Ahi Bruschetta - it was so good I forgot to get a picture haha! For our meals, I got the Short Ribs which seriously melted in my mouth. My husband got the lobster mac & cheese, and he loved it. For dessert, the coconut banana cream pie caught our eye and oh my yum...I will be dreaming about it haha! Overall we had wonderful service, delicious food and a beautiful sunset view. We will be back again someday!!

One of the best meals we had in Maui! I love the servers recommendations for dishes to try! She was incredible! I had the evening special--kampachi served with an incredibly creamy risotto and red wine butter sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender and buttery, and the risotto was so good that I'm already trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. My husband had the Ali'i mushroom pizza with artisan cheese, white truffle oil and lavender. Such an unusual combination, but it worked beautifully. I also really appreciated having wonderful gluten-free options. It's not always easy to find a meal that feels truly special when you need to eat gluten-free, and this absolutely did. We also tried the bruschetta with ahi tuna! So unique and tasty! Add the beautiful oceanside setting and this was one of those Maui dinners we'll still be talking about after we get home. We would absolutely return to Honu Oceanside on our next trip. Highly recommend!

Ahi Bruschetta*
Brian C.

Had a great experience here overall. If possible I would try to get seating next to the beach as it makes the experience even greater. But I highly recommend the Ahi Bruschetta and the daily duck special. Service is great and the vibes are great as well.

Filet mignon.

10 stars. I took my daughter for her 16th birthday. We had the beef tallow fries, the buttermilk brioche, the filet and the ono fish special. Every bite was delightful. By far the best meal I have ever had in Maui. I will be back for every visit!!

Fresh Fish Dore Style

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.

Oysters on point! Fresh horseradish yum!
Raquel M.

Fantastic food, service and view can't be beat! Mikey took very good care of us. Had three starters, delicious all! Dinner was fantastic fish and filet. Wine list is amazing enjoyed a crisp Sancerre with our fish. After dinner cocktails so delicious and dessert sublime. A hui hou Huno!

Different dishes that they make

This is our second night dining with Brianna. We loved it so much on Sunday, that we had to go back tonight. It is pricey, but worth it. Do not skip appetizers or their homemade bread and butters. The first night my husband and I had their fish and chips, along with the ahi app and the brioche loaf, we finished with banana cream pie. Tonight we had the tomato, basil, mozzarella app, the brioche and the featured fish dish with prawns. Dessert.was apple pie à la mode. Brianna is an absolute doll and extremely efficient. She wasn't the only one who watched out for us as well. Great staff. We miss Lahaina terribly, as we ate at a different restaurant almost every night in that beautiful town, but this has been a great find...

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.

Oyster Shooter*
Daniela J.

We came here on my baby moon in 2021 and had to return for my birthday while in town. Love the oceanfront dining, we actually got a little splashed from the waves but it felt great in the heat. Service is excellent. We had an oyster shooter, the kale salad, short ribs and lobster Mac n cheese. I was surprised how good the salad was and I think I liked the lobster Mac more than the short ribs. The chocolate dessert they gave for my birthday was also great.

Roasted short ribs
Wendy N.

First time here and our experience was superb. We enjoyed the ahi bruschetta as our appetizer, shared the large portion of Caesar salad, ordered the tender and mouth watering short ribs with the addition of the lobster tail and topped it off with the coconut banana cream pie. All of it was amazing and delicious. Drinks were yummy too! Of course, that view from our beachside table was THE BOMB! You couldn't have asked for a better view of the sunset or a more romantic setting. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and can't wait to go back. Astrid was very sweet and attentive as our server even offering taking pictures of us with that beautiful sunset backdrop!

Honu's Corkage fee is $30 per bottle.

How far I advance do you take reservations?

When we were in Maui in July, I made the reservations 30 days prior, when their books opened up. As quickly as things change, a response from the restaurant would be more accurate. Enjoy! (How can you not? The food is superb and the view…

The beers were great, the staff was awesome, and the owner was an absolute sweetheart. We also loved the mix of local and visiting talent -- everyone was so fun, welcoming, and supportive of each other. And there were some seriously great singers in the room! Such a fun, friendly atmosphere and easily one of the highlights of our night. We sang, laughed, drank great beer, met some awesome people, and stayed wayyyy longer than we originally planned -- always the sign of a good time. Our only questionable decision was realizing at closing time on a very late Sunday night that Ubers were basically nonexistent. At one point, we had fully accepted our fate and were mentally prepared to WALK all the way back to the Hyatt Regency, continuing to sing our hearts out the entire way, without a care in the world. Thankfully, the Uber gods eventually smiled upon us and we lucked out with a ride. Would we have walked miles home singing karaoke if necessary? Apparently. Would it have been worth it? ALSO YES.

We decided to check Monkeypod Kitchen out as we heard about their Mai Tais being the "best" from…read morefellow hotel guests. We went during happy hour (2:30 - 5pm) where their hand crafted cocktails were $4 off. Prior to this, I haven't had a Mai Tai before so was unsure how they should taste but the Monkeypod version contained honey-lilikoi foam which made them bright, inviting, and iconic. Well everyone in the family loved these. They were simply delicious. From their happy hour food menu (appetizers were half off except anything containing seafood), the Roasted Chicken Wings were a hit with my sons. The Poke Tacos which were beautifully presented were fresh and tasty. One order comes with 3 so we ordered an extra taco which turned out to be the right move as they are on the small side. And I wanted to point out since the Tacos contained seafood, it was not eligible for the discount. Pizzas were priced at $16 (except for the Bourgeois) so we opted for the Margherita and Kahlua Pork and Pineapple. The latter was our family favorite. The pork was tender and flavorful which contrasted nicely with the sweet pineapple. We did order the Fish and chips from their regular menu. Mahi mahi was the fish of the day and it was good, but nothing exceptional. The fish came out nice and hot but the temperature of the fries were not so was a little disappointed. We ended our meal with the Banana Cream Pie. We all agreed that it was hands down the best Banana cream pie that we have had. The bananas were so fresh and flavorful, so much umami. The restaurant was open/airy and the view was amazing. Our server was friendly and the service went without a hitch. We will definitely be back.

I would say if you're able to come for happy hour then it would be a better value especially for the pizzas. It's about $5 cheaper for most of the pizzas. They also validate parking for 2hrs

We sat at the far side of the bar so we could have a view of the pool and coast. They have quite a few items that looked good- poke nachos, Korean wings and burger but we went with a salad plus chicken and the blackened fish tacos. Well, the salad was great and not drowning in dressing, good portion of chicken although it was already so expensive and then the added fee of chicken geez. The tacos did not come out blackened. It was grilled fish- only two tacos- small amount of fish which is sad because the fish is an extra charge on top of the tacos; Chicken would not have an extra charge. The tortilla chips were good but unfortunately we were not served the salsa, but rather ketchup. So we waited a bit to get that corrected. We each had a cocktail with lunch- i had the Maui medicine, it was great. Hotel prices for everything plus it's Maui, so lunch plus tip and taxes etc was a whopping $126.82. Each cocktail was $21 and the total for our food plus the up charge for choosing fish for the tacos and adding the chicken on the salad- $60. Needless to say, we ate there only once. But our friends did enjoy poolside lunch a couple times- so I know the wings are good- they had them twice.

We were warmly greeted and seated right away in a beautiful setting overlooking the pond with the swan. The ambiance was wonderful, the service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious! Both the ribeye steak and spiny lobster were cooked to perfection and the creamed spinach and twice baked potato were equally tasty. A couple of minor details worth mentioning. For an upscale steakhouse, I was surprised there weren't white tablecloths on the tables. Also, a piece of lettuce and a dollop of sour cream that had fallen onto our table weren't cleaned up until dessert was served. While neither issue ruined our experience, these are the little touches I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. My other suggestion would be the music. The Dirty Dancing soundtrack seemed to be playing on repeat, and being in Hawaii, I would have much preferred some Hawaiian music to complement the beautiful tropical setting.
