Highly recommend for breakfast and lunch. We went twice during our Maui stay and enjoyed it both times. Get the macadamia nut pancakes. They are delicious. They have a nice mochi texture and the coconut syrup is delicious. The bananas and nuts compliment each other nicely. The scrambled eggs were delicious and I ordered extra crispy bacon and it came out just that way. It was a delicious and filling breakfast. We ordered fish tacos to go for lunch while at the beach a few days later. They were tasty and the portion of fish was generous. They did not skimp on the slaw or sauce. The green salsa on the side was delicious as was the bean and corn salsa. Super refreshing and light. The view from the restaurant is amazing as well. We enjoyed the beach while eating breakfast. Had great service. I highly recommend and will be back in the future when visiting Maui.

It was fine. Great location and service. The food didn't amaze. The Sweet Onion Soup (aka French Onion Soup) was rather acidic from the Sherry and Brandy they add to it. The seafood entree of the day was also rather acidic. I guess that's a common theme with the cooking style here. The Mushroom Risotto entree was fine and somewhat runny.

Chicken piccata

We had a nice time at this restaurant! Let me start by saying we dined at 8 pm at night - so it was dark and we didn't get the "beach view." So if that's a big part of what other folks love about Sea House, we came at a time when that's not a factor. Service was super nice - both our servers and the hostesses. I appreciate that they have choices for vegans, vegetarians, carnivores and pescatarians. Tables outside were nice enough - but I'd say that indoors needs a refresh. It had a 1980s Ramada Inn hotel restaurant vibe. People seemed happy inside - it just seemed more like a place for folks who have visited here for decades than a place with a trendy interior. Drinks: cocktail list was a little more tropical-traditional than cutting-edge mixology, but what they make seems well done. I decided "when in Rome" - & got a frozen coconut mojito. It was definitely tasty & came with the expected brain freeze. Bread: 2 complimentary rolls (in contrast to restaurants that make you pay for fancier & tastier pull apart rolls). They were fine, not memorable. Salad: we split the MOLOKA'I WATERMELON SALAD, which was the most interesting salad on the menu: Makawao Farm arugula + Kumu Farm watermelon + sheep milk feta + Kula sweet onion + EVOO + aged balsamic. It was refreshing and tasty - and they kindly split it for us in the kitchen. Definitely big enough for two people to split, so a great value for $18. Entree: can't remember what my sweetie got but it was "some kind of meat" and he thought it was fine LOL. I got the LOCAL MUSHROOM RISOTTO: it comes with a kind of brown sauce (mushroom, cheese), rather than just being in a broth. But the rice was firm, and I really liked the local mushrooms. It won't win contests, but is a very nice (and also very generously sized) dish for a vegetarian. Overall, we had a very nice time here, though we didn't think that the food overall was quite as good as the best places we enjoyed on our vacation. If the view is spectacular during the day, then that probably tips it over the edge. But we still enjoyed our meal. Mahalo!

Coconut shrimp- sauce was fake and sticky

Thankfully, in Hawaii it's hard to order bad fish. That was the saving grace of this establishment. Sea House was probably great once upon a time, but everything seemed dated and a little tired, from the staff to the decor to the menu. We paid $80 for the special and were super disappointed. Sauces were overly salty and/or one dimensional. The veggies were soggy and covered in oil slick. I ordered a cocktail which was sweet and fake. I didn't finish it past a couple sips. Overall, I can't recommend this restaurant with gusto and instead would send anyone up the street to Merriman's.

Went out with family to try this out really nice beach side view from the restaurant. They also had a nice waiting area in the inside for us to wait in. Our waitress was very nice and was attentive to all of our needs. I enjoyed the mocktail I got. As for the the starters the rolls were alright and the fried calamari was good. The poke nachos were soggy and fell apart. The entrees were okay nothing really stands out for me. I really did enjoy their ice cream pie desert that was a highlight for me.

Crispy Calamari
Tiffany K.

OMG I found my happy spot. Was searching for a scenic place for happy hour. Located in the Kapalua area just north of Lahaina, parking is easy and the views are breathtaking. Expect to wait to be seated for happy hour which runs at an early 2:00 - 4:45. I came by myself since daughter wanted to hang out at the beach, which is also walking distance. There is a waiting area in the back while you wait for a table. I sat back there for a while but then checked in the main dining area and lo and behold, a high table opened up. I recommend sitting here for a better view of the ocean. Beer on draft for happy hour is an affordable $7 and features local ales. I got the Kona Light Blonde Ale which went well with the poke nachos ($14) and calamari ($9) that I ordered. The poke nachos consisted of three chips topped with fresh poke. So don't expect nachos in the classic sense! The calamari was a bit more substantial with a furikake crust. Sea House restaurant lived up to being a happy hour indeed.

Hurricane fries
Alice W.

Came on a Thursday at 3:30PM for happy hour and had no wait for a seat on the outdoor patio. We got the chicken wings (sweet and sticky with good flavor), crispy calamari (we liked that they were strips ~ our favorite), kalua pork tacos (pretty good size for happy hour!), sliders (beef patty's with kalua pork ~ the pork flavor overpowered the rest of the burger) and hurricane fries (these were okay, the only one I'd skip if we went again). View from this place is the best beach views ~ you're right on the sand

Daiquiris
Geoffrey S.

I love seafood, if you knew me, it would be an understatement. I however can't eat pork. Every dish on the menu, except for a very select few all has it. Tonight to get a different sauce for a pasta dish wasn't worth the fight, so I ate it "as is". The food is 4 stars, service as attentive as our souix server (water refills) was on point, our actual waiter was a little off... The ambiance is why you come here. I'd give it 6 stars as the ambiance is that stunning!

Crab Salad Club
Nessa R.

While in Maui celebrating one of my favorite humans, he chose Sea House Restaurant. He's not afraid to uber to eat well! Day two we ventured! The Sea House delivers one of the most effortlessly beautiful dining experiences on Maui. Set right on Napili Bay, the open‑air setting gives you sweeping ocean views and that calm, breezy atmosphere that makes every meal feel like a moment. The ambiance alone while looking right into the ocean is breathtaking. Service is friendly in that effortless Maui way: warm, relaxed, and genuinely attentive. You feel taken care of. So much beauty yet just 3 stars? Yes, we may have ordered the wrong items. Let's get into it! Calamari- We thought they were cheese sticks. We learned that it's a different part of the squid, it's the body part! Known in Hawaii and served as such! Who knew! Mahi Mahi Sandwich-blackened mahi on a brioche bun. Mine was chewy, super chewy I almost thought they brought me chicken. Did not like at all! Crab Club- He chose this because we love crab and maybe we should have known we are spoiled living in DC-Maryland-VA, he ate it but I didn't get any ooohs or ahhhhs from him and he never reviewed the place, so yeah no bueno. Our drinks were just okay, I'd come back to try more items and possibly at dinner or breakfast because that is what they are known for!

Bay view with Aloha

update next day: We had guests come for an afternoon snorkel and then happy hour here. This is really the best appetizers, so the 6 of us ordered one of each most of the menu. it's a short menu. Worked out great , we all shared. Lots of laughter , we ate on the patio facing the sea. Mahalo

Macadamia Crusted Kampachi. This was the Early Bird Special including salad and dessert

As expected Sea House did a great job. Good food service and ambiance made our last dinner in Maui special. We will be back soon!!!

Aloha
Ferdie R.

We had reservations around 7:30 , but was seated early. Service from Megan was great, gave us some water and some bread then mentioned the Saturday evening special of Prime Rib, We opted for the King cut to share, and ordered their calamari and some cocktails, ambience of the place was on the waterfront, but you have to walk a path before you get to the actual restaurant. We'll be back when we go back to Maui again.

Caramel Macchiato Ice Cream Pie
Brianna V.

Had the absolute best experience at the sea House restaurant with my family while visiting Maui! The service was excellent and definitely go right before sunset to get a nice golden hour photo on the beach. I got the macadamia nut kanpachi 10/10 so so good! The calamari was a good appetizer as well! Our server was amazing & recommended the ice cream pie for dessert! Overall the best meal we had in Maui, excited to visit again soon!

Ask the Community - Sea House Restaurant

Is there parking available?

Yes . We've always parked in the hotel parking if a spot was available to go to the restaurant or you can park along the road.

Is this restaurant kid friendly? Do they offer high chairs?

Yes they have high chairs and kids are definitely welcome. If you're staying at Napili Kai, kids under 10, I believe, will get their meal free if an adult orders a main entree and if the kid orders from the kids menu.… 

Does anyone know the name of the musician who is there multiple nights a week and sings "O Mahalo"? Thanks in advance!

Sorry I don't but just call the Sea House and ask or call the Nāpili Kai, they would probably know.

Is Happy Hour only served in the bar area?

Yes - but the bar area has some high top and regular tables in addition to bar seating The dining… 

Do you need to pay for parking at the restaurant?

Aloha, parking is complimentary. thank you

Do I need reservations for breakfast?

Always a good idea as crowds fluctuate and they socially distance tables.

I was lucky enough to snag a last-minute reservation for two at the bar, and while we were there, I noticed our favorite Maui musician, Akoni, was playing that Friday and Saturday. Of course, I had to try to get back! I managed to grab another last-minute reservation, and we were seated right by Akoni. It was the perfect night -- amazing food, wonderful service, great music, and such a fun atmosphere. Seeing Akoni is always a highlight for us, but getting to enjoy his music at Merriman's made it even better. 10/10 recommend Merriman's and 20/10 recommend seeing Akoni perform live (and stream his music on Spotify)!

Extremely formal setting, amazing location with terrific service. They gave us leis upon being seated (we ordered these in advance), and we ordered both the merriman's mai tai and the original mai tai. The merriman's mai tai might be the best mai tai I've had in Maui, while I also found the original mai tai to be rather good and much stronger. As for the food; it was mostly "hits" with just one item I wouldn't necessarily recommend. They started off with giving us the complimentary bread and mushroom soup -- both were spectacularly delicious and a terrific way to start the meal. We ordered the fresh sashimi and were left underwhelmed. It wasn't very flavorful and something I wouldn't recommend. We had debated getting the hawaiian 'ahi poke instead (which we should have clearly done), but were unfortunately dissuaded by the server who said "you can get poke anywhere in Maui." The macadamia nut-crusted fresh catch (Mahi Mahi) was probably the best version of this dish I've ever had -- a must have, and this place is clearly the go-to winner for this specific dish. We also ordered the makai special which I loved -- I beleieve the fish was the uku (grey snapper), and I thought it was cooked perfectly and teasted amazing. For desert we ordered the pineapple-macadamia nut bread pudding, a staple for this place, which I found tasty. They additionally brought me their version of the deconstructed s'mores for my birthday which I also really loved. Overall - extremely expensive experience but 100% worth it. I'll definitely plan to come again next time in Maui.

The beers were great, the staff was awesome, and the owner was an absolute sweetheart.

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.

You know how sometimes when you order nachos and they come out soggy? This didn't, it was nice and crunchy and after a beach day, it was just right with the beans, pico, jalapenos, and sour cream. The fish and chips were delicious- the fish was nicely battered with a THICK chunk of fish, not skimpy at all and the ribs were nice and juicy and fell off the bones!! Our favorite was the hot booty ruben sandwich- full of flavor, juicy meat along with the tartness of the sauerkraut! Our least favorite were the chicken wings, it wasn't as juicy as we hoped it was going to be but it was a chunky and at least got us the protein we needed. All in all, we are going to come back again. We all agreed that this was a winner. PS, try their house made Maui mules!!

Convenient too, Dollies was just across the street from our resort. We stayed seven nights in Kahana and Dollies visits were a common theme. Our first visit was the night of our arrival. The four of us sat at a tall four-top where Becky (a different Becky than my wife Becky. LOL!) was our server. I wanted to order the Como-Stase pizza but was out voted. The wives were put-off by the thought of cream cheese on pizza. We instead ordered a Pepperoni, Italian Sausage and jalapeño pie. I remained obsessed with the Como-Stasw and vowed to return for it. The pep/sausage/jala was excellent. Crispy, thin crust. High quality meats and a fantastic cheese pull! At 10:30 PM. Dollies offers pizza by the slice, but only Pepperoni or Cheese. I did not know this when I returned solo for a slice of Como-Stase. Becky (my wife, not the server) stayed back in our condo while our travel companions had alternate plans. I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted by Stephanie who informed me that I'd have to get a whole pie. Well, I made some fast friends at the bar that night when I shared that pizza! Como-Stase marinara sauce, cream cheese, provolone, parmesan, pepperoni, sausage, topped with green onions. Bro! One of the best pizzas that I've ever had! Cream cheese, Provolone and Parm! So good! Gobs of pepperoni and sausage. I, and everybody else at the bar loved it! What a blend of flavors, pure perfection on a great crust. Shout out to Seth as well. He was our barkeep one afternoon when we stopped in for drinks and a t-shirt, of course gotta' rep Dollies back in San Diego! When in Maui, go to Dollies!
