This was the last night of a recent mother-daughter trip on Maui, and it was hands down our best bar and food experience on the island. We made reservations and sat at the bar and were taken care of by Eric and Jason. They were very busy, but they still made us feel special and taken care of. They had many recommendations and we chose the Kalua Pig Pot Stickers and the crab cakes, and both were outstanding. We loved them! Wine selection is outstanding and they make amazing drinks too! The view is incredible, the atmosphere is special, and the whole experience felt like the perfect close to our trip. We will be back and highly recommend sitting at the bar and asking for Eric and Jason. They made it unforgettable! read more

08.29.2026 @6pm Made reservation for a table of 4. My daughter birthday choice as we were in the resort and just want stay within. Of course everything will be overpriced for a fine dining inside the Fairmount resort. Services is good and friendly. Main unsatisfaction was the ordered of the half dozen raw oysters, very disappointed with the quality. When they arrived, the oyster meat was extremely thin, watery, and lacked any plumpness or rich flavor. They seemed to be post-spawn or poorly harvested. While they did not smell bad, they were not enjoyable to eat at all for the price. The price tag is more for the presentation rather than the quality. read more

We love the bar here and return every trip. The sashimi is always - as it was this time - off the charts delicious and fresh. We also ordered the B&B ahi which was also delicious and fresh and ever so slightly seared. Both are worth the trip and the money. From there we started to feel like second class citizens. Hubs ordered the lamb while I had mahi mahi tacos (I didn't have a huge appetite). I would not order the tacos again. Table next to us raved about them and although the tortilla and the fish were fresh, the 'blackened' seasoning did me in. Overkill on a nicely cooked piece of fish - hard pass. Lamb, although cooked properly, (and I thought interestingly presented but) hubs is a meat guy and felt all the additions - sauce, relish, goat cheese - was overkill. Have to also say he didn't enjoy the waiter taking his knife to hand prepare a bite the way he thought it should be eaten. We barely saw him after that which further soured the experience. He vanished after the big ticket part of the meal (the 82$ lamb) and mentioned a comped panna cotta for our anniversary after we'd ordered a paid desert. Oops we owe you that next time (but you'll take our money today) Our food runner was great! Super upbeat, always with a smile. Bar area was relatively quiet until it wasn't. We wouldn't spend $350 this way again but would sit at the bar for sashimi and bounce. read more

This is a wonderful restaurant where you can get some high-quality absolutely delicious food.

The ambience was good but the food and the service really Stole the show our server Devin is a type of person you wish you could have more of if you own a restaurant absolutely phenomenal. Would go back just to visit him great place to go. read more

Overall a really nice atmosphere with dishes that have great flavor and freshness. The service here was great as our waiter was attentive and quick with anything we needed. The ceasar salad was delicious as was the shrimp cocktail, it would have been nice to have a touch more horseradish in the sauce though. The ginger ahi was good but for it being seared rare, it was slightly over cooked. The lemon drop was good, but the dirty martini was a miss. read more

Came here for happy hour. Stellar views, friendly approachable service, and the salad, 2 wagyu sliders, and Brussels were incredible. Highlights were the ube bae baby baby cocktail and thank you for the panna cotta, so hospitable! Such a lovely happy hour against a gorgeous view to top off a great day. read more

We had a delicious dinner here. Highlights included the Kahlua pig dumplings in curry sauce, ahi tuna with avocado, and mahi mahi. For dessert, we shared the cheesecake and a brownie, both excellent. We had a beautiful view from our table during the sunset conch shell blowing, which was a memorable way to end the evening. We could see the colors of the sunset over the trees. Tip: Bring a credit card, since you cannot charge this restaurant to your hotel room if you are staying at the Fairmont. read more

Simply, great food, beverages, and service while dining outdoors in Maui! One of our annual favorites. You must check it out! Superb!

Nick's Fishmarket used to be one of my faves, but... ATMOSPHERE: It looks pretty much the same since we've first dined here. Still open-air with covered lanai seating overlooking the pool. MENU: I wish they change that horrible font they use on the menu. It's very cheap-looking and contradicts the menu's delightful selections - a stronghold of American dishes but now with less of a Hawaiian aspect. FOOD: Seafood Chowder Served warm but not searing hot, the white chowder was creamy and seasoned well, with a fair amount of protein and topped with a mini crab cake. Fresh Island Catch Picatta The fish was monchong, cooked nicely but with disproportionate seasoning as parts of the filet had no flavor. What looked like risotto was actually farrotto, a wheat that looks and tastes similar to the former, but wasn't seasoned at all, akin to eating plain rice. The capers and sauce gave the dish some life but it was very disappointing and bland for $69. DESSERT: New York Style Cheesecake Drizzled with strawberry sauce and topped with fresh strawberries, the medium-density cake was good but a tad overly sweet for me. SERVICE: Host service was good. Entrees came out while we were still finishing up the appetizers which drives me crazy. Where's the timing? The male server was very shy with no personality and seemed either inexperienced or anxious to leave work. When he presented himself, he just stood at the table's side without any verbal communication. Peppering our dishes got maybe 3/4 of a twist from the grinder, not till we said "when". He checked on us just once near the end of our entrees, not soon after they were presented. Bill drop off was accompanied by him muttering "check"? No "thank you" or even "have a pleasant evening". Nothing. It felt like pay and get the hell out. OVERALL: A fall from grace. Substandard service with a downward turn in cuisine. read more

One of my favorite dinners we had in Maui. The food was great, just the right amount where you leave full but not stuffed. The virgin lava flows were delicious and refreshing. The service was good and our table was great-only thing is we were seated next to one of those torches and the smell started to become noticeable towards the end of our stay. I'd recommend taking a walk down to the beach to after your meal-it's beautiful! read more

We headed here after watching a beautiful sunset at the beach just a half a mile away. Didn't realize until we arrived that the restaurant was in the Fairmont resort. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas. We went to checkin at the restaurant after looking around a bit. We waited at the bar for about 15 minutes until our table was ready. We had arrived about 30 minutes ahead of our reservation time. We were seated and then our wonderful dining experience began. Started off with seafood chowder for me and the Caesar salad for my husband. Then I ordered the scallops and shrimp with tortellini and my husband had the Mahi Mahi special. Our son was tearing us to dinner for Christmas and he had looked yay their menu online and told us we had to have the strawberries for dessert. So we did. oh my goodness!! It was a treat for all your senses. I myself had to add a crème brûlée too bc it's my all time favorite. Both were delicious and we savored every bite. We were so stuffed by the time we left but we couldn't have asked for a better meal. Spot on with everything. read more

I never eat at fancy restaurants but this place was gorgeous and the food lived up to the atmosphere! It's located in the Fairmont Hotel and the food was delicious! They also brought out bread while we were waiting for our food because the chicken was taking longer than the rest of the food. We really loved it here and it was probably my favorite meal of our vacation! read more

6 of us went here for dinner last night. The restaurant is sort of inside sort of outside feel which is really cool and beautiful. Started with the octopus, potstickers and oysters. The oysters were delicious. The way they delivered them were YUMMY. Our server Brennan was VERY CHILL, maybe a little too chill. The orders for my parents weren't super accurate and he didn't seem to know how to respond in terms of fixing the issues. My spiny lobster tail was delicious. The risotto and asparagus were cold underneath which was a disappointing. Overall it was a good outing. read more

Do not skip this place. Food is so fresh! The Maui wowie salad was off the E charts. The mango lace flow is something everyone should try. My son said the salmon was the best salmon he's ever had. All our meals were amazing. Save room for the banana fosters read more

Don't waste your money . So so food at expensive prices, water downed drinks , cold coffee. Caesar salad lettuce was wilted and tasted like bottle dressing .

Another perfect evening at Nicks. Cyrus goes above and beyond to make sure our evening goes flawlessly..Cyrus and Jason keep the bar area lively and make you want to come here every single night of your trip.

NICKS FISHMARKET - Stiff drink and great energy at Nick's..Thank you Cyrus and Jason !! - Seafood Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

I'm a spoiled kid from Los Angeles used to a culinary scene where restaurants charging $70-80 a dish are some of the best in the world. Long story short, much was left to be desired but I guess that is expected from a hotel restaurant. Service and food preparation was on Hawaiian time. The fish off the Kikei menu was probably the best dish as was the lamb, but the octopus escargot and chicken played it safe and lacked inspiration. read more

Nick's has it all‼ fresh oysters, escargot, seafood towers, a full bar and a wonderful bartender who will find a wine that goes with everything! Sitting at the bar is really fun because we meet so many interesting people who come to Maui for fun and relaxation. We live here and Nick's is one of our most favorite places. read more

WOOOW!!! I had Rayden as my server for my first experience at Nick's Fishmarket, and all I can say is it was some of the best service I've ever had. He was funny, accommodating, and gave really great recommendations. When I come back, I'll definitely be hoping to get Rayden again! read more

NICKS FISHMARKET - Seafood Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Nick's Fishmarket Maui is a very long time favorite and I still mourn the loss of Nick's Fishmarket Oahu and the original Nick's Fishmarket Chicago. I don't know what I'll do if I lose Nick's Maui. But I dither, Nick's Fishmarket Maui is in an incredible location inside the Fairmont Kea Lani and it's setting alone would be enough to pull me back even if the food was just okay. Thankfully the food is MUCH better than "just okay", it is generally outstanding. I rotate starters and salads because there are so many great choices. The Caesar Salad is about as good as they get, but I really, really like the Maui Greek Salad. With at least four people we start with the Seafood Tower, but find it just too big for two of us. Other than that the Kalua Pig Pot Stickers, Charred Octopus, Crab Cakes and Blackened Ahi are the starters I rotate through. For my Main, I am less eclectic. I have a hard time getting away from the Diver Scallops and Scampi. I have tried other dishes, the Abalone, Kona Lobster and Ribeye (I know, I know, who orders steak in a seafood restaurant), but I keep coming back to. For Dessert, I am also in a rut, but I love desserts they set on fire and in this case it is Bananas Foster. I do sneak bites off my DW's Creme Brulee, as does off my BF. The service is terrific, attentive without being intrusive. I used to joke about the Chicago store that if you knocked a spoon off the table someone would catch it before it hit the floor. The Maui service isn't quite that attentive and I am not sure I would want it to be. read more

Oh my gosh, what wasn't AMAZING?! Food, Service, Ambiance...We sat at the bar and it was truly magnificent! From drinks to desert everything was exquisite!

The service is great, the staff is super friendly and welcoming here. I'm sad that the NICK was not here, I wanted to say what's up. The food was good, nothing super crazy and not disgusting it was just right. The vibe of the restaurant is sick, beware that it is an open space so the temperature at the restaurant is dependent on the weather. read more

Very uneven, and surprisingly so. The service and atmosphere were great, no doubt. It's very expensive, but it's a Hawaii resort, so that's to be expected. Our drinks were both terrible. A Paloma and a mojito. Very off-balanced and just barely drinkable. The pot stickers were bad. Gummy. Very odd. The creme brulee was fair. Not that sweet and none of the coldness that one would expect. The mains were strong though. The lobster and fish dishes were all excellent. The chicken and the sashimi and oysters were also top notch. read more

**BETTER THAN MAMA'S FISH HOUSE** Don't shoot the messenger. AMBIANCE (4/5): You can see the ocean while dining out on the patio. It's inside the FAIRMONT HOTEL. I LOVE this hotel! Walk down a picturesque staircase to get to the restaurant from the lobby entrance. Don't forget some photo ops if you're dining when the sunsets for the perfect "golden hour" glow! SERVICE (3/5): We came with a large party (10+) and dined VERY EARLY, so no one was there except a few tables and us and service was TOP NOTCH at the beginning. But as we were nearing dessert the whole restaurant filled up and they pretty much forgot about us for 30 minutes while we waited for our desserts. If it wasn't for this one thing, it would be a 5 star review. We were literally just trying to pay and leave since we waited so long and almost cancelled our dessert, but we were celebrating a few birthdays and wanted them to have their dessert. FOOD (5/5): The food is 100% better here than at Mama's Fish House! I think the trendiness is the only thing that's holding Mama's Fish House. I wish more people knew of NICK'S FISHMARKET, but I'll keep this a hidden gem to myself. $32 OYSTERS (half dozen): fresh & delicious! Oysters were average, but I still loved them to start. $18 STRAWBERRY BEET SALAD: LOVED this dish! It's a lot of flavors that work really well together. Pesto, goat cheese, li hing mui strawberries. Must try! $45 MOROCCAN SPICED SALMON: I was really craving salmon, comes with almost a guacamole & purple rice with some Japanese mushrooms. $56 SCALLOP & TORTELLINI: THIS was by far the best entree!!! The goat cheese tortellini was DELICIOUS! Must love goat cheese obviously. Only 2 diver scallops, 3 large shrimp, and 3 tortellini for size. $27 STRAWBERRIES PANZINI: dinner & a show! They flambee (put on fire) table side for a fun show! It sweetens the strawberries the longer you let it burn. comes with homemade whipped cream, chocolate sauce and brown sugar. A light, but delicious way to end the night. OVERALL (4/5): Love the ambiance & food here! I'm sure that was a tiny slip in service, it did take away from the experience ending on a bad note, but we had the best time and I would HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

This restaurant is located inside the Fairmont Hotel & the location is just beautiful. We did outside seating so we could enjoy the sunset during our meal. For shared appetizers we ordered the lump crab cake & strawberry-beet salad. The crab cakes are small and the strawberry-beet salad is refreshing. We ordered the Potato Scaled Mahi Mahi, Ginger-Soy Marinated Ahi, & Moroccan Spiced Salmon as our entrees. All of their fish entrees are moist and cooked perfectly. I like how the flavors & creativity in the dishes shined through. For dessert we ordered the panna cotta and flambé strawberries. The staff and service are very attentive and helpful with the menu. read more

Another great anniversary celebration at Nick's. The food was delicious and Raiden our server was on top of everything. The fish special was Opakapaka and was delicious. My wife got the ginger Ahi tuna and it was equally delicious we shared some with each other. We had reservations at 6:30 so got to enjoy the beautiful Maui sunset and our waiter took pictures of us in front of the awesome view. Food was pricey but a lot less than Mama's Fish House and would recommend Nick's to anyone staying in Maui or at the Fairmont. read more

I first dined at Nick's over twenty years ago. For many years since then, I told friends this restaurant was hit or miss. Sometimes the meal was great and other times it was just okay. After having had terribly overcooked fish one night, I avoided going there. More recently, I gave them another chance and am glad I did. The setting and service have always been pleasant, but the current kitchen staff finally match those elements. I have had three consistently excellent meals at Nick's. Most recently, my husband and I shared the ahi sashimi appetizer, kalua pork potstickers, and we each had monchong in the nightly-special preparation. The sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth, with no tough fibers. The flavor of the kalua pork in the potstickers is classic. The monchong was perfectly cooked. Nick's is outside, so if you are eating early and the sun will be up I highly recommend asking for a shaded table. I am pleased to say that this restaurant is finally well worth a visit! read more

6 of us Saturday 1-31-26. They were out of menus so we had to what until other tables finished using theirs. It took 15 minutes for them to get enough menus for all six of us. They forgot to give one of us water. Got it five minutes later. The service was slow. The Caesar salad was excellent. My Ahi was cold. The ambiance was very nice. Restaurant was not half full. Way too expensive for the service and quality of food. read more

We just had an amazing evening at Nicks Fish Market. From the minute we arrived, we knew we were about to have a great evening. The host was so welcoming and took us to our seat. Once seated, we met Raiden, our wait staff. He was the best! He got us settled in and shared the drink list and menu. We ordered our drinks - my husband ordered the manhattan which was perfect, then we ordered escargot for our appetizer. Everything was very yummy. Then my husband had the Opakapaka sautéed in Lemon, Butter & Capers, Farrotto, Broccolini, 24 Hour Tomato Puree. Excellent! I had the B&B appetizer. The ahi was absolutely great with so much flavor. At the end of the evening Raiden brought my husband a dessert with a lit candle to celebrate his birthday. The topping to a wonderful night. Raiden was incredible making our evening special. He was so helpful throughout the evening and so informative about specials and answered all our questions regarding selection options. We can't wait to come back! read more

Had the best slab of ahi and a really fun, nice waiter. He made us chili pepper water on request, 6/5 stars. :)

Among the finest seafood restaurants in Maui, with the ingredients coming right from the island, the fresh catch fish options available on the menu are caught just a day prior by local fisherman.

Nick's was one of the first restaurants we ate at on our trip to Maui. Our timing was a little off as there was a significant downpour, and it was a challenge getting into the restaurant. Once inside, the wind and rain kept going for a little while, but it let up, and the weather turned out ok. The service and food were great! The restaurant was filled with families, couples, small groups, and us (the bests part). From appetizer to dessert, you will not be disappointed.
