    Bufala Tomato Salad
    Ivy L.

    Wow all the amazing reviews and I was left a little disappointed. Located in old Lahaina, the restaurant doesn't really have a view so no ocean side dinner if that's what you're searching for. The restaurant is located in the middle of a little town and actually feels a bit closed off to the outside when you're in the dining room. The server was nice enough and service was pretty good. The restaurant itself claims to be fine dining but the interior feels a bit minimalistic and definitely more high end casual than fine dining, minus the white tablecloths; the atmosphere was relaxed. My meal didn't particularly wow me. We ordered the Bufala Tomato Salad - refreshing and as expected. The Bufala mozarella was fresh and delicious. The Dungeness Crab Tower was a bit on the mediocre side in terms of size and flavors. We've definitely had better crab towers elsewhere. My main course, the Maui Onion and Sesame Crusted Seared Ahi actually had a flavor I didn't enjoy. Not sure what it was but the Red Snapper Special tasted much better in terms of flavor profile. Drinks were alright as well. The overall experience was just okay to me, which was disappointing considering the great reviews overall.

    Parmesan Crusted Monchong over Saffron Risotto

    WOW. Trust me, just make the reservations and eat here during your trip to Maui. Lahaina Grill was recommended to me by a local for my trip to Maui. We were celebrating my partner's big milestone birthday and wanted somewhere special that we could create a lasting memory. Lahaina grill delivered! I made reservations 3 months in advance to our trip. Lahaina Grill staff went above and beyond to make our celebration special. The host greeted my partner by name and wished him a happy birthday, we got a digital photo sent to us that was taken at our table, and the entire staff signed a birthday card. A ++++ on service. Now the food. We started with the Caviar Deviled Eggs and the Dungeness Crab and Lobster Cake. The Deviled Eggs were loaded with Caviar. A mouthful of eggs in every bite. The Crab and Lobster cake was filled with meat. Lacking the typical filler here - no complaints ;) Our entrees were absolutely stunning in appearance and flavor. My partner had the Sesame Crusted Ahi. A huge tender chunk of Ahi under perfectly roasted sesame crust. Savory with a slight sweet flavor from the caramelized Maui Onions. I had the Parmesan Crusted Monchong special. We had never heard of Monchong. It's apparently a deep sea Hawaiian fish. Cooked perfectly with every flaky delicate bite filled accompanied with saffron risotto. The entrees were sized accordingly to the price and was very filling. Finally, a Triple Berry Pie came out for dessert with a blue candle for birthday wishes. The triple berry pie was great. Not overly sweet and big enough for two. We would definitely visit Lahaina Grill again. It was the highlight meal of our trip!

    Clam special
    Will C.

    I can imagine Lahaina Grill in it's respected place as one of the best restaurants on Maui is a four star restaurant on many days of the year. Tucked on the side street two blocks off of Front St, Lahaina Grill dominates the block with an adjacent hotel and two seating areas. Our party sat near the bar. The menu feels very traditional, non-adventurous, what one would find for dinner or room service at a Mandarin Oriental anywhere around the world. Steak, lamb chops, scallops. The prices are extreme for what they were, we called it the +$30 Maui tax on each entree item. As a special appetizer, the clams in broth were delicious with a touch of sweetness from the lapxuong Chinese sausages. The table shared the fish special as well, it sat on corn risotto. It was a tasty preparation, but one couldn't help but think the risotto of the day is corn or mushroom a lot here. The lamb chops were well-prepared, I could tell consistency was a big deal here after the owner Jerg explained his background and the restaurant's history. The same vegetable sides came with each dish, consistent like microwave dinners. The deviled eggs were decent and so were the sides we ordered. Our water glasses remained filled as we shared some conversation with passerbys and staff. That is where the pleasantries stop. I ordered a difficult drink for the bar, one I use to judge cocktail making skills of bartenders. It was a sour mess, there is no real drink program here so I would suggest sticking to basics. I should have sent it back in hindsight. I also left my napkin on my chair several times on my chair to see if any of the staff were trained to put it back. I guess most of the service attention to detail was to used to memorize the most expensive appetizers and entrees to recommend. Our waitress almost stepped on my napkin, I was afraid they would charge me for a new one. Falsified class and just rudeness is what rubs me here at Lahaina Grill. For $100+ per person, I felt conned. There is an undertone of pretentiousness, obnoxiousness, greed and grime that accompany the white linen tablecloths. The acoustics are loud, the wait staff are of two ilks. A few, were true hosts/hostesses, barbacks, service professionals trained in actual service. The other, like carneys posing as waitstaff, looking for their next sucker to pitch a baseball at weighted cans or purchase an overpriced blurry photograph package of your family. As none of the desserts jumped out to the table as worth trying, we opted for no dessert. Our waitress Brianna eyes rolled deeply into the back of head as she heard this and snatched the menu out of my hand. The owner, Jerg will probably have to hit the reset button in her to get them back in place. Kind as he was, the reset button is probably far up there. We did get free dessert as part of a celebratory occasion. It was the berry fruit tart which was very jammy and sweet. A nice card prepared by the staff was also present. As I paid for the lackluster experience, Brianna stood awfully close to the credit card machine protecting her precious tip. And maybe intentionally, there is no spirit of Aloha or Mahalo when they rob you at Lahaina Grill. But there should be.

    maui mule +  center cut certified angus beef 7 oz. filet mignon.  (Don't remember what my wife ordered)
    Winston C.

    My wife and I were recommended to this place and we received an available spot later that day (a bit after dinner). Reservation is a must and we really got lucky since someone backed out. Parking was easy since to find -- either on Front Street for street parking or the JAC Parking on Lahainaluna Road. The service was great and the bartender in front of us was very friendly and professional. I enjoyed their Maui Mule (~$20) which included ocean vodka and maui brewing island ginger beer. What I really liked was that they used local ingredients. I ordered the Center Cut Certified Angus Beef 7 Oz. Filet Mignon (~$80). The meat was cooked wonderfully medium rare and the side herbed mashed potato was a delightful combination. it was good, but not great. I wasn't full after finishing this meal. Overall good experience. I was just a bit bummed that I paid ~$100 (not including tax/tip or what my wife ordered) and still left wanting to eat more.

    bee sting & aperol spritz
    Brenda S.

    Came to Maui for our honeymoon and had to try this place out! With so many reviews we tried making reservations online but they were booked almost 3 months in advance, we decided to try calling to see if we could get a reservation time and we were able to! so if they are all booked online, I would def try calling and you might get lucky like we did! Right when we walked in we were immediately greeted and walked to our table! the ambiance is French quarter like, and super classy! We sat down and ordered some drinks, I got the Bee Sting, which was amazing! i would say it's their take on a lemon drop. It's fruity, refreshing, and sweet! I loved it since I'm the type that doesn't like the taste of alcohol. And my husband got the aperol spritz. For appetizers we got the wagyu ravioli and crab cake. Crab cake was okay, I've had better. It seemed a bit dry to me. And was nothing memorable. For the wagyu ravioli, I'll be dreaming about this dish for a while! This was phenomenal! it was so delicious, and we got a bread service, so dipping the bread in the extra sauce of the ravioli is a must! My husband and I also shared the fresh fish chowder, this was also okay. It was the catch of the day fish which was delicious, but overall the soup was too chunky my for my liking. The soup base was my favorite part of the soup, if the soup was just the soup base, it probably would have been one of my favorites of this whole meal. For entrees I got the scallops which were perfectly cooked and in this amazing sauce. It's served over a bed of mashed potatoes and seasoned vegetables. My husband got the meatballs and that was okay. We had also ordered a side of the risotto of the day, and that never came out, but to be honest we were kind of glad they forgot to bring it out because we were too full to even finish our entrees. So I'm not going to dock them on that. Plus they came by the table many times to ask how we were doing, and we had many opportunities to mention it if we really wanted it. For dessert We were given a triple berry pie! Since we were celebrating our honeymoon, they gave us this complementary. It was very good, but my husband and I aren't pie people. And again, this was okay. Service The service here was amazing. Our waiter and every employee we came in contact with were super generous and welcoming. They definitely make sure your accommodated and want to make sure you're having the best experience. I really did enjoy myself here, but I don't think I'll come back. It's one of those places where it's a one and done experience. For the price, I've had better meals. So that's the only reason.

    Restaurant front - Lahaina views :)
    Alvin L.

    Restaurant with a very intimate feel! Service was fantastic and the food was pretty darn good :) I'm glad I went with the servers recommendation it did not disappoint. Make sure you ask for the house baked bread and butter. The butter is amazing and infused w garlic and onions. For my entree I had the catch of the day which sat on a champagne corn miso infused risotto (amazing - if this is an option I would highly recommend it) My wife had the scallops - I tried some and it was very tasty as well but can't complete w the catch of the day and the risotto :) Overall fantastic restaurant. Kind of pricey but would highly recommend.

    fresh fish chowder
    Carrie G.

    Was only able to get a 8:45 pm reservation on a Saturday night even a month or two in advance because this place is so popular! First of all, parking is a bit of a nightmare in this area. Front street is always packed, so make sure you come early if you're driving to find a spot. This place is classy, so come dressed up a little bit. The staff members wore masks and were super nice. Gluten free options were listed as GF on the menu. We started off with some cocktails, I personally really enjoyed the bee sting the waiter recommended. It was so different with the Hawaiian moonshine and lavender honey. My husband really enjoyed the smoking gun cocktail which had whiskey and scotch.That was right up his alley. We got the wagyu ravioli as per waiter's recommendation because that's the most popular app to get apparently. And it was sooo good. The most impressive thing about it was the sauce. We could not get enough of it and the waiter gave us more bread so we could soak it all up. We also ordered the fish chowder because we wanted to try the fish and a bit of the monchong fish which we've never had before. And they gave you a lot of fish in that soup. The chowder is very different from your new england claw chowder. It's not creamy at all and very light. Delicious. For our entrees we ordered the Chef Arnie's homemade meatballs, and this was the dish that probably was our favorite of the night. The meatball itself was so fluffy and flavorful. The sauce and pasta paired perfectly with the meatball, and is actually a pretty filling entree. We also ordered the slow braised short rib, which was so tender and delicious with the sauce. But this dish didn't stand out as much as the meatball because I felt that I've gotten a short rib just as good as this in NYC. Overall, very good food, but I honestly gave it 4 stars because of how pricey the food was. This was probably even pricier than some fine dining with the i've gone to in NYC. And obviously it's because we're in the middle of maui and the pacific ocean, so I can't really compare, but I just felt that many of the items were not worth the amount we paid.

    Monchong Seafood Special
    Gina V.

    By far our favorite meal that we had in Maui! If you're visiting the area, you really have to have a meal at Lahaina Grill. The restaurant is right by downtown Lahaina, which is great to walk by for shops and a nice ocean view. For the parking, it is a bit difficult to find free parking but there are lots nearby that charge $10 for 2 hours of parking. The service was amazing, and we felt that they were responsive to our needs and very attentive. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful too; I love the large paintings all over the walls. For the food, I highly recommend the monchong. We've had it at other restaurants in Maui, but it was particularly good here. The fish was very crispy on the outside while also being perfectly tender and flakey. The sauce was very good as well. We also liked the seafood chowder the wagyu beef ravioli. For the ravioli, the inside meat was just okay, but the sauce was amazing. Our server kindly gave us two more plates of starter bread so that we could dip it into the ravioli sauce to enjoy it some more. Lastly, the triple berry pie we recommended by our server, and it was a hit! We usually aren't fans of fruit pies, but they make it so well here.

    I saw that there was no children on some of these posts. But I def saw a kid so maybe it's not a rule anymore.

    Love it here. Would recommend to everyone to come here and eat. I would come back here again the next time I'm in Maui. Everything was cooked to perfection. Food was very fresh. In fact, the monchong what I ordered came like 15 minutes before the restaurant opened. So that was exciting. I loved that I tried a new fish (monchong) and it was incredible. The chef was magical. I love all the food here and I would make reservations here when I come back to maui. Everything from our salad to our entrees and dessert, everything was top notch for me. I've been dreaming about that Mon Chong that I had here. And for our special day, they gave us the triple berry pie. It was amazing!! love love love it here. I can see why this restaurant was rated highly. And when we got home, they sent us the picture that they took of us at our dinner to temper our special day by.

    Truly a Hawaiian Fine Dining. Voted top 10 fine dining in US. It didn't disappoint at all. From the service to the food - it was all superb. Glad that we book two months prior to our dinner. Since we are a party of 8- we initially booked two reservations for party of 4 and left a comment if they can sit us nearby. The restaurant read our request and called us and put us in one table. Every dish we had was amazing. Fresh fish with great flavors. Even the salads where great. Make sure you get the dessert sampler. It's always great to be a big group and able to try many dishes. I recommend asking the specials which I got- monchong. That fish was perfectly cook with great flavors. Other dish like mahi mahi, ravioli, fresh sashimi were are amazing. Don't eat to much bread and house butter- but it's hard to do. Highly recommend eating here. I felt bad for people that didn't make reservations and could eat here like the French family who came unprepared to Maui. One of my friends was lucky to get reservation this week thru their hotel concierge- they did seat on the bar but noted it was worth it.

    Appetizer
    Yvette K.

    Excellent service! Food is pricey but worth every penny! We went with our friends as it was both of our 16th anniversary. The free photo emailed to us was a great touch. Jurge & Sheri have the best personal service! I appreciate their help with making our anniversary so special. Loved my rack of lamb, and the escargot is to die for. To top it off, the desert (especially the berry pie) is a must. You will not be disappointed with anything on the menu. It's my 6th time here, and I will be back again!

    Wagyu Beef Ravioli
    Lauren F.

    We had a great dinner at Lahaina Grill! We had reservations and we ended up showing up about 20 minutes early and they were able to seat us right away! We had planned on doing the tasting menu but unfortunately they are not offering it right now. We instead got a couple appetizers and split the fish special that was super tasty! The owner also makes his way around to every table which is very nice. I would definitely recommend coming here for a nice dinner!

    Jordan P.

    Our experience coming here during our stay in Maui was amazing. It's a must for all visitors! The ambiance and atmosphere was welcoming and made the dinner that much more enjoyable, from the start! We ordered a lot to try and everything killed expectations. The wagyu ravioli was a highlight as an appetizer. Aside from this, the onion soup, chowder and cocktails were a home run. The scallops and crab cake were also great selections before diving into the key lime pie martini as dessert (highly recommend drinking your dessert if you're too full to order the dessert sampler, which we wish we had room to order as we were teased seeing multiple walk past our table during our dining experience). Can't wait to come back, definitely don't miss this spot when you're in Maui!

    Lahaina Grill Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Lahaina Grill

    What's the parking like? Is there a parking lot for guests?

    There is very limited street parking in front of the restaurant. However, there is a paid public lot 1 block away that normally has plenty of spaces.

    Are there gluten free options available?

    Aloha Kristine. Yes, we have many gluten-free options available. You can find our online menu here https://lahainagrill.com/menu-2/ all gluten-free options are labeled!

    Are children allowed here?

    No they are not. Children under 12 r not allowed to dine at this fine dining restaurant.

    We will be celebrating my husband's birthday here in January? Is it possible to request a surprise birthday dessert?

    Yes! Let them know you are celebrating a birthday for your husband. My wife had the triple berry pie for her birthday and it was amazing!

    Do you take walk in?

    Aloha! We do require reservations and are booked several weeks in advance, however it is a good idea to call on the day prior as we may receive a cancellation. Walk ins are welcome to check with our hostess stand after 5pm if you are in the area.… 

    Do they accept walk-ins?

    The only way to guarantee yourself a table is to have a reservation. Safely, I'd say about a month in advance. People do cancel for various reasons so check back to see if anything opens up or call the evening before. Keep in mind that all members… 

    Is takeout available?

    Yes

    Is there still a tasting menu available? I know it was in the past, but not on the menu? If so, any details/ cost?

    Aloha! Here is our tasting menu information: please make your reservation at www.lahainagrill.com or call 808-667-5117, please let us know if you have any questions -- Mahalo!… 

    Dress code? Nice shorts ok?

    Nice shorts are fine, resort casual attire Mahalo!

    Made a reservation upcoming at Lahaina Grill next week and wondering if we should bring our two kids (age 4 & 7)? It looks upscale and thinking maybe we should get a sitter and go as a couple. Thoughts from people who have dined there?

    I think that the ambience of this great restaurant is more conducive for couples and adults only. Children would only detract from this special ambience. I highly suggest you not bring the kids and find a sitter for them. You'll thank yourself a… 

    My dad's 69th birthday but we have our well behaved 18 month with us. We have our own high chair and she usually sits quietly and has gone to fine establishments. Will this really be a problem?

    Lahaina Grill is not recommended for young children, they have a few tables which can accommodate high chairs but it is a longer dining experience and really suitable for children over the age of 10

    How difficult is it for a single diner to get a seat at the bar? They won't do reservations for one.

    Not too difficult depending on the night. Sometimes it's very crowded there and other times it's very easy to get a seat. What I would suggest is calling ahead to ask about how busy the bear seats are.

    Is there corkage, if so.what is the cost?

    No outside beverages allowed.

    Can this place accommodate a party of 11?

    Aloha Susan, Yes, we do. Please contact Lahaina Grill directly at 808.667.5117.

    Best place to sit a table of 7?

    There's a nice small dining room just to the left of the main entrance. That might work fur you.

    My family have been to Honu several times in the past and for some reason I have never left a…read morereview for Honu....Perhaps I wanted to keep it a secret. We made reservations for a birthday and requested an ocean front seat for this occasion. We arrived 10 minutes prior to our reservation knowing how busy they can be and we were promptly seated when we arrived. We had oyster shooters and the Spanish octopus to start and both were phenomenal. The Octopus was grilled to perfection and so tender you could easily cut it with a butter knife. The octopus is a must!! For the main course my wife ordered the scallops and I ordered the special which was grilled Opah with two grilled shrimp served over risotto. Both dishes were the best things that we have eaten all year. At the end of dinner they provided a complimentary dessert and some of the best views and service on the island. The restaurant Manager also checked in with us to make sure that we enjoyed everything. She was very nice, professional and engaging. Our waiter and supporting staff were all amazing as well anticipating our needs and exceeding expectations. If you are looking for great views, great service and exceptional food look no further than Honu! No its not cheap but it is a great experience!

    One of the best meals we had in Maui! I love the servers recommendations for dishes to try! She…read morewas 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!

Everything we had was ono and the staff took such great care of us. Great food, great vibes, and plenty aloha. Definitely one of our favorite spots in Lahaina. We'll be back!

    Came here with the wife - we could only get a reservation at 7:30 PM so couldn't enjoy what I would…read moreguess would be a great view (not the restaurant's fault, but something you should consider when making a reservation yourself). We ordered the Miso Butterfish, Garlic Noodles (heavily recommended), and Hapa Ramen. The cheapest cocktail was $20.50, more expensive than all but two of the noodle entrees - that didn't seem worth it so we skipped the drinks. The Ramen was pretty standard, didn't really impress or disappoint. The Butterfish was pretty good, mainly because of the miso sauce, but we did notice a table next to us got a significantly larger portion of the same dish. Finally, the Garlic Noodles - maybe I need to stop taking recommendations from this specific friend, but it was super underwhelming. It tasted like salted butter noodles with some garlic added, super salty. I love salt, but this dish just seemed like something I would eat at home when I don't feel like cooking. I guess it is what it's advertised as, I just expected more as it seemed to be an internet (and my friend's) favorite. Service was alright. We were seated right away even being 5 minutes early to our reservation, but then didn't see a server for at least 10 minutes - not a huge deal and we used the time to decide what to order. Food came out very quickly after ordering. I needed a water refill (on account of all the salt) for about 6-7 minutes before anyone even walked through our area that I could flag down. Everyone was very nice but the place seemed somewhat understaffed. TLDR: cocktails are very pricey, food was underwhelming and salty (skip the garlic noodles), and service was fast but servers were hard to find. I probably wouldn't recommend this place - especially if you can't see/don't care about the view.

    We loved Hula Grill so much that we came back for a second dinner during our Maui vacation, and it…read morewas every bit as wonderful the second time! I had the grilled Ono, and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It was one of those meals you're still thinking about afterward. My husband had the Chef's Tasting Menu and loved everything. He started with the seafood potstickers and Caesar salad, followed by the macadamia nut-crusted mahi mahi. The mahi mahi was gorgeous and cooked perfectly, and the macadamia crust made it something special. What we really appreciate about Hula Grill is that it delivers the whole Maui experience: wonderful fresh seafood, beautiful presentation, a relaxed atmosphere, and food that is genuinely memorable. Coming back a second time on the same vacation says a lot when there are so many restaurants to choose from on Maui. Hula Grill has definitely earned a place on our "must return" list. An absolutely fantastic meal and a wonderful way to spend one of our last evenings in Maui. Highly recommend, especially the fresh fish!

    Want the luau food experience without paying for the actual luau show? This is a great option!…read more It's an outdoor restaurant, so definitely dress accordingly. If it's drizzling outside, you can bet you'll probably be drizzled on while eating your meal too! But the setting is beautiful, especially if you get a table around sunset--you can watch the sunset right from your seat. There are plenty of food options to choose from, along with lots of drink options. The restaurant sits right next to Old Lahaina Luau, so if you make a dinner reservation around luau time, you can even hear the luau going on next door. They had traditional Hawaiian food such as poi, lau lau, kalua, etc. Service was good as well. Overall, a fun way to enjoy some of the food and atmosphere without paying for the full luau experience!

    The remodeled Aloha Mixed Plate looks much better than the old location, but unfortunately the…read moreexperience did not live up to the hype--or the prices. We left disappointed by the unfriendly service, very small portions, and a bill that felt wildly out of proportion to what we received. Our experience The setting is attractive and the renovation is a real improvement. However, the service lacked the warm, welcoming aloha spirit we hoped for, especially at a restaurant that markets itself as a Maui favorite. The pricing was the biggest issue: - $17.50 for an appetizer of only five wings. - $35.50 for a kalbi plate that amounted to roughly 2 1/2 ribs, chopped into seven or eight small pieces. - $19 for a small serving of mochiko chicken bites. - The kids' sliders were just two tiny burgers on Hawaiian sweet rolls. For two entrées, one appetizer, and two non-alcoholic drinks, our total came to more than $110. That is difficult to justify when both the portion sizes and overall service fell short. Bottom line We understand that Maui is expensive and that restaurants face high operating costs. Still, charging premium prices should come with generous portions, consistently good food, and genuinely hospitable service. Aloha Mixed Plate may have a beautiful new space, but at these prices, it feels overhyped and not like a good value. We hope they reconsider the portion sizes and customer experience, because the lack of aloha and the high prices could easily turn visitors away rather than make them want to return.
