Do not come here. The food is not good, not up to the WP standard. Also very overpriced. Staff are pleasant and the view is great - though that's easy to find elsewhere in the area. read more

Fantastic dinner! The bread "basket" was soo good could not help myself in sampling each and then got the seafood risotto as an appetizer to share with my husband and it was delicious but a small portion (I guess to be expected). For my entree I got the Macadamia Crusted Mahi-mahi and it was delicious!! I didn't leave one bite it was one of the best meals. My husband got the snapper and his was also so delicious. This was definitely a meal to remember and the view was gorgeous. We got there at 5:45pm and the sun was setting so perfect timing. We were celebrating our anniversary and they were kind enough to bring a trio of sorbets. Definitely go here for special occasions--also the service was superb. Loved our entire experience! read more

Our second trip to Spago this year ( it's been an unusual year, and yes we feel remarkably fortunate) and it is now definitive: this place is just OK given what your paying. Service was solid and professional, but half the dishes were just sort of "meh". Seafood Risotto - salty but excellent as a small appetizer , beet salad nice but unremarkable, schnitzel was solid but dry and could have used sauce, and the Waygu steak was just Ok. The fries that came with it, however were excellent, and the seafood curry was excellent. The fresh catch however was too dry and came late. I think we are done with Spago, at least for a while. read more

We picked this place to celebrate our 5-year wedding anniversary and it was a good choice. Gilbert, our server, was hilarious. He did a great job describing the dishes as well as telling stories about being an extreme kayak deep sea fisherman. Please remember that Hawaiian sales tax is only 4 1/2 percent for those who typically just double it for tipping purposes. We had the Spicy Ahi "Poke" In Sesame-Miso Cones, Upcountry Greens with Hearts of Palm and Roasted Beets, Ginger-Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi, and Caramelized Pork Chop with Roasted Kula Figs. read more

My family and I loved Spago because it is very well organized and very spacious! The service and the food was spectacular! Two things I would just change is that I would have more outside seating and have the lights not be as dimmed! But other wise our waiter was very nice and fun to have, and I love how pretty it is inside! The music was nice and It was not to loud in the restaurant so you can hear the people at your table! The dessert was amazing and came very well prepared! I really do recommend coming here! read more

Spago - This look so good! I can't wait to taste it! It is a penne pasta from the kids menu and it looks delicious! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Maui, Hawaii

This restaurant is exceptional. We are from Manhattan and very critical. First, our server David was wonderful. Phenomenal service all evening. Everyone danced around us. Second, the food was terrific. We tried the omasake platter to start, followed by the beet salad and bolognese. Then two of us had the lobster and the third had lamb chops. Dessert - lollipops and banana bread. All of our food was amazing. One of the best meals on the island by far. Would highly recommend!!! read more

The food was very good, wish there was more of an appetizer selection. Service was spot on, and the scenery couldn't be much better.

This is a lovely setting at the Four Seasons Maui with perfect picturesque views of the ocean and outdoor seating. Service was a bit slow but the food was great. I especially liked the Spicy Ahi "Poke" in Sesame Miso Cones and Spiced Local Monchong. Everything tasted great and highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Our two week vacation was all about dinning and relaxing. During our trip we already dined at the amazing Lahaina Grill and Roy's, so on our final evening on the island, we decided to finish off with the raved about restaurant with amazing views of the sunset. Spago restaurant is located inside the Four Seasons hotel, teaming America's greatest chef Cameron Lewark with one of the world's finest hotels. The restaurant offers complimentary valet service, as one would expect. The decor is Asian inspired contemporary design with a layout offering sunset views from almost every table, especially the lanai. The ambiance is sophisticated yet relaxed. Want to romance your loved one, this is the place for it. The staff was extraordinary from all aspects, started with the hotel's valet cordial welcome, continued with the hostess' delightful friendly escort and ended with the our waiter's attentive and personable service. We were sat at the table closest to the water without visual interference of the memorable sunset. It was a breezy evening, so after the sunset we requested a table inside. Without fuss, our waiter moved us and transferred our drinks to the new table. They were very knowledgeable and weren't hesitant to give recommendations upon request. They were friendly, made us feel comfortable and yet they kept their professionalism intact. The cuisine utilizes Hawaii's premier produce, fish and meats, with presentation that made Spago famous. I started with a specialty drink, Pavlov's Dog, made with Tanqueray #10, lemongrass ginger and grapefruit bitters. It was very delicious, the lemongrass took the bite off the bitters. The indulgent followed Pavlov's theory, sip, enjoy, repeat and order another. Next, I had the Spicy Ahi "Poke" in Sesame-Miso Cones as an appetizer. The presentation was fabulous with the cones delivered in a wooden upright tray. The ahi was puréed giving it an ice cream like texture, garnished with chili aioli, tosa soy, bonito, green onions, tobiko and pickled ginger. They were outstanding with perfect piquancy wrapped in a crunchy sesame-miso cones. For my entree ahi had the Lahaina Albacore with Ginger-Miso Butter. Again the presentation was artistic and colorful. The Albacore was sliced and seared to perfection with quality and tenderness that didn't require any sharp utensils. It laid atop wasabi purée garnished with tomato-ogonori relish, cilantro and palm heart salad. I practically licked the plate clean with their delicious fresh bread, suggested by the waiter, as he noticed I was attempting to get every last bit of the sauce with my fork. For dessert we had the Upcountry Banana Cream Pie, which was also a delight. It was very different from a typical cream pie, as it had a consistency of a pie right out from the freezer. A definitely something that should be tried, especially for its uniqueness. In summary, this place will not disappoint, and I would visit Maui just to dine here again. Not many of us have the finances to fly out to Maui just for dinner, including myself, so if already here, make Spago a priority for your special dining experience. Did I mention the amazing sunset views from here! read more

It has taken me a few months to write this review because I've been that angry about how awful our Thanksgiving dinner at Spago was. We had eaten dinner here back in 2010 and had a fantastic time with great food and service and was looking forward to another. We had made reservations on OpenTable and arrived on time, and were seated. The meal went downhill from there. We were routinely ignored, from the servers refilling our water glass to the man doling out bread. There was one onion bread left when he served us and he said he'd come back with more. He came back all right, but served everyone else around us, and we never did receive any more onion bread. It was hot in the room and the atmosphere in our section was generally hectic, as if the regular chef and staff were off for Thanksgiving day and the backups were struggling in their absence. I ordered the ribeye medium and my boyfriend ordered the ahi. About ten minutes later, I received the ribeye and they brought my boyfriend the Thanksgiving special, with turkey, stuffing, the works. He told them that wasn't what he had ordered and they took it away. I was about to spear a piece of ribeye with my fork when the server came back and whisked it away from me, my fork in mid-air. There was a couple sitting next to us with their two children and they happened to be in the restroom when this happened. Once they returned to their table, the entrees that had originally came to us were delivered to them. They probably just sat them under heat lamps for a few minutes and then brought them back out. I could have eaten a piece of ribeye and they probably wouldn't have noticed. About 35-40 minutes later, our food finally came. My ribeye was extremely under, and I ate the outside slices first and gingerly made my way into the middle. My boyfriend's ahi was cold but we had been waiting for so long that we didn't want our Thanksgiving dinner to get worse and so we didn't send our food back. It's not like anyone checked in with us to ask how our food was or how we were doing. I could only eat half of my ribeye and I've never left steak uneaten on my plate but the center slices were completely bloody. It was only after our neighbors had finished that we figured out what had happened. Apparently the husband saw me cringing as I poked my ribeye and he realized that they had given the medium rare ribeye his wife had ordered to ME, and my medium ribeye to HER. She had complained hers was overcooked and mine was under. At that point, I had eaten half the ribeye, which was $60 or whatever, and I didn't exactly want a new entree. The manager (or assistant manager) came out and apologized to both our tables, but by then the damage was done. They did not comp my ribeye, though they did offer us free desserts. I appreciated the offer but all of the desserts were actually really bad. I hate pumpkin spice-flavored items and there was a pumpkin item, and something cranberry. None of them made up for my undercooked, rare steak and the grim Thanksgiving meal overall. Our bill was $215.31 and to add insult upon injury, they did not credit me my 100 OpenTable dining points for eating there. Thanks for ruining my Thanksgiving dinner, Spago! read more

I can confidently say that I ate one of my best dinners at Spago. We made reservations and were luckily seated at one of the best seats in the house - on the outside patio facing the gorgeous ocean, with a perfect view of the sunset. I quickly noticed that the service was impeccable. I could not believe how on top of everything they were. The wine was great and the food was even better. Starters: Our server quickly brought out an amuse-bouche from the chef which was a delicious tomato bisque. Later, one of the friendliest servers there, Alfredo, comes to our table to offer a platter of bread options. Try the caramelized onion bread!! I would come back JUST for that. Seriously, it was THAT good. Don't skip the bread. Indulge. Appetizers: Spicy Ahi Tuna Cones: We ordered these based on the Yelp highlight and I was really glad we did. They were awesome! Order them! Hawaiian Walu "Loco Moco": Micro greens and sesame aioli served with walu which is similar to butterfish. This was really good and full of flavor. I would definitely recommend both of these appetizers! Main Courses: Grilled Lamb Chops: This dish was amazing!! The lamb is served with peas and a chili-mint vinaigrette which is amazing and gives it a thai-ish flavor. 8oz Wagyu/Angus New York Sirloin: This dish was also really good, but I assume there are other main courses that are much better. Dessert: Pineapple Cheesecake: It was perfect, creamy, fruity, and flat out delicious. Overall, Spago provided an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. read more

I really didn't want to write this review but after going to monkey pod I realized what a rip off 4 seasons spago was. In fairness it was hit and miss. Not everything was bad. The only consistency was that everything was expensive! On the good side the sashimi and beet salad were great. Off menu the green salad was also very good. The ono was overcooked and too small. In general the entree portions were ridiculous. My grandson's fish was 2 bites as were all the kid portions. In fact we had to order another buttered noodles for the 10 year old - literally one big bite. My recommendation take the 1 hour wait and go to monkeypod. Also a bottle of $70 wine was $215 but that's to be expected in any top end restaurant. read more

5 star service baby! The staff here is really attentive and incredible. Small touches like presenting the bread like, hey this isn't just any old bread, there's like 6 choices here and let me tell you how artisan each of them are! I loved that. I had the pina colada but it wasn't your poolside blended frozen, it was special. It tasted like a pina colada, but way more sophisticate in its presentation and I'm sure it was far fewer calories! The Ahi Tuna cones were alright, I felt the sweet cones kind of took over the fresh ahi, what a shame! But the rest of the prix fixe menu was awesome. I had the Pork - OmG, moist and thick cut...more asian style than the american version. Also had the salmon, that was so good, perfectly cooked. The molton cake at the end was the perfect finish! Sunset views and awesome staff make this place a must visit. I do wish they did something special for our anniversary as I believe I mentioned it in my OpenTable reservation. read more

Hello, I'll have 10 orders of the ahi tuna cones please? Well, maybe just 1 order, but I wanted about 10. Yes, the reviews are true..the ahi tuna cones are uhmazing! Based on all the raving reviews I'd heard/read about Spago I figured I"d save the best for our last night in Maui. And while it didn't end up being the best meal we had in Maui (Mama's Fish House gets that prize) it was very good! Andy, our waiter, was very chatty and helpful. He not only helped us with what to order at Spago, but gave us a few restaurant and activity suggestions for our trip to the Big Island the following day. I started the meal with a glass of Riesling, which was very sweet (just the way I like it). And then before they brought out those delicious ahi tuna cones the bread lady came out with so many delicious looking breads to choose from! I kind of wished she would just leave the huge tray of breads (enough for everyone in the restaurant) for us, but I chose a few different ones and then helped myself to more Parmesan flat bread (my favorite) her next time around. As for our entrees the hubby and I split the ahi tuna (can never have too much ahi tuna when in Hawaii) and some fish I can't pronounce or spell, but it tasted similar to a sea bass. Both were awesome! And as for dessert...we split the banana creme pie. By now we had 6 nights of really delicious dessert and this was among the best. And the "congrats" in chocolate writing on the plate was a nice touch as well. And while we ate this delicious meal we were lucky enough to be watching the beautiful sunset. And we couldn't think of of a better way to end a perfect week in Maui. read more

Unfortunately, Kiki is not impressed. So many things were hyped up about Spago. But our expectations were not met. The service was VERY slow. It took us 25 minutes to get offered bread and get our first drink. The wine list by the glass was also very disappointing. I enjoyed our appetizer of ahi poke cones. Everything was overpriced for the size, but the ahi poke was fresh and I did enjoy it. For my entree, I had the curry. It was meh. A little too spicy (I'll admit, I was warned), and it was overpriced for curry ($45 or something like that. what?!?) It was not worth that price, in my opinion. My dining parter had the tomato soup which he said was good, but he did not enjoy his steak was dry and chewy. For ~$70, you'd expect a steak to not be these things. We had the pancake suffle for dessert. It was nice, but not as great as The Best Thing I Ever Ate made it out to be. Service was slow. I was disappointed. Our meal was very expensive for such a disappointment. I would not go back. :( read more

Worst dinner experience in Maui. Show up with res and wait 20 minutes. Wait for water at table when seated. At 7 out of multiple fish have to get salmon...in HI, really. Then order a macallan 12, and out. Come on! It's not like I ordered a rare scotch. Done read more

Food not so good, table service lacking, drink service lacking, drinks short on volume, appetizer sent back, water service lacking, impressive menu but lacking choice, entree service took forever, entree was very good once it arrived, lower rating because I expect a lot more from a restaurant of this caliper. Recommend you go to Duo downstairs for an outstanding dining experience - been there several times and always excellent. read more

Spago - Entrance - if you're smart this will be all you see of Spago - Asian Fusion Near Me - Maui, Hawaii

Food was good and service was very attentive. However, food wasn't exceptional to warrant $450 before tips among the 4 of us with only 1 glass of wine and we shared 2 plates of dessert. I ordered hamachi ceviche to start. It was good and fresh. However, it came as sashimi, not ceviche as the menu suggested. I had onaga steamed HK style served with a bowl of steamed rice. The fish was fresh, tender and flaky and the sauce was very well balanced with soy, ginger, scallions and chili pepper. Dessert was rather disappointing. My apple and pineapple crumpled pie with vanilla ice cream was really just mediocre at best. For $20, I expected something more. Kona coffee for $10. It was a mistake on my part. Starbucks instant coffee has bolder flavour and body. read more

We absolutely loved our dinner experience. We were able to get a reservation same day- however I recommend making a reservation earlier and dine to watch the sunset. The restaurant is gorgeous and overlooks the four seasons resorts- so pretty. We started with the bolognese appetizer it was delicious. They even split the appetizer so it was easier to share. I had the tuna as an entree and it was delicious! Drinks have funny names and I had a delicious drink with tequila- just the right amount of spice! For dessert we split the donuts and ice cream and since we were on the honeymoon - they wrote congratulations. Nice touch. read more

I really want this to be 5 stars but there were just a few minor issues making it a solid 4.5! Were arrived around 5:45 and were seated outside with a full ocean and sunset view as requested. Our waiter was new but did a good job. Our assistant waiter however was outstanding, some of the best service we have ever had. We started with cocktails which is my first complaint. Yes they are $17 which is fine, I am at Spago in Maui. However it must have been about 2 ounces. Look at the picture, I swear I didn't take a sip! We had the sashimi appetizer which was big eye tuna and hamachi, absolutely delicious. The fish was so fresh it was like butter melting in your mouth. For entrees we ordered the ribeye and "chinios" lamb chops. Both were cooked to perfection. The rib eye had just enough marbling and the lamb chops were very tender and flavorful. Here is my next little complaint, they had 3 options for sides Friday night. All three were vegetables, very strange. No baked potato, no mashed potato, no fries, no lobster mac, nothing...all veggies. They did have several dessert options which always make me happy. We decided on the "Sticky Icky" which is a date cake with ice cream. It was okay, a little dry and nothing spectacular. Overall it was a fantastic dining experience with an incredible view of the ocean and sunset. I will definitely return when back in Maui. ATTN SPAGO: I hope you are reading these reviews. Our assistant waiter Jansen provided us with some of the best service we have ever received in a restaurant. I felt like my best friend or brother was serving me. Warm, friendly but very professional. He needs to be promoted to waiter ASAP. read more

I couldn't have picked a better way to spend the first night of our honeymoon! Spago's at the Four Seasons is a gorgeous restaurant. Half of the seating is outside in the open ocean air, with a view of said ocean. One warning, though: Maui is WINDY! So, if you're eating after the sun has set, I would say eat inside. The walls are made of glass windows that slide open and close, turning it all into an open-air restaurant. The inside of the restaurant is just as beautiful, with huge, stunning photographs of sea anemone. The service and cocktail menu are both excellent. I started with a lychee martini and because I had been on the famous "no-carb wedding dress" diet, I had a lot of fun devouring their bread (sweet, Maui onion rolls, parmesan crisps, and sourdough). Spago's was a great place to not be on a diet anymore! The menu is actually quite small, but I made a rocking meal out of the appetizers. I had the tomato soup (sweet and creamy) and the seafood risotto with lobster butter (rich! rich! rich!) I didn't think I could eat another bite, but my amazing husband talked to the restaurant manager and had a yum molten chocolate cake sent over. Then, after that, the waiter came over with biscuits. We had to pack those up because after the flight, the sun, and the decadent dinner, I was ready to fall asleep at the table. Warning: Spago's Maui is one of the more expensive restaurants that I have been to. The appetizers' prices are what you would normally see as an entree price at another restaurant and the entree prices are double. read more

My husband and I ate here on our last night in Maui before heading to the airport. Our waiter was very accommodating and made sure our food came out fast! We were seated in a sweetheart table with the perfect view of the ocean. I think it was the only table in the restaurant that directly faced the ocean! We ordered the loco moco for an appetizer and it was delicious! It was a more upscale version of the local's favorite. For our meals, I had the crispy duck and my husband had the steak. One of the servers brought out a whole duck to the table and asked if it was okay before slicing/preparing half of the duck for my meal. The duck was the best duck I've ever eaten! The skin was crisp to perfection and the meat was so tender. (It came with vegetables and rice.) And this comes from a Chinese girl who has eaten A LOT of duck in her life! Oh my gosh, just thinking about the duck is making my mouth water. For dessert, we had the smores. I thought it was small since I'm used to generous portions of dessert, but the presentation was gorgeous and it was a perfect way to end our meal. =) read more

Food was average but service was awful. Condescending and dismissive. Had to ask the busser for a wine refill and soft drink refills were never offered. Clearly, we were an annoyance. Worst restaurant experience on Maui. Never going back again. read more

The evening was a beautiful one on Maui when we dined here. We were seated quickly and outdoors, able to watch the beautiful sunset. The coconut soup to start (gratis) was yummy. The ahi appetizer was moist and flavorful. The mai tai and bottle of wine was excellent. Kids penne pasta with homemade marinara was superb. The selection of bread and crostinis were fabulous. My husband loved his macadamia crusted fish. My asian style steamed fish with rice was the best meal I had on Maui! My son had the ice cream sandwich for dessert and loved it. The rest of us were pretty full, but we ordered the cookie platter and all the cookies, brownies, and lemon bars were the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Service was excellent with multiple people checking on us (filling water, filling bread) adn our waitress was never far away. I LOVE places that give you a dark cloth napkin when you are wearing dark clothing like Spago!!! I highly recommend this place! read more

The food is amazing; pricey but amazing; our waiter Peter Anthony was so caring, sweet and attentive. The nectarine burrata salad was not my cup of tea but was still good. The hotel is just so beautiful and the ambience is unmatched. read more

We were a group of 6. On a scale from WHAT to 10. This was WHAT DID I JUST EAT. Absolutely terrible. The duck was awfully dry, bland as well as the chicken. The only thing worth eating is the bread and butter, which was also subpar. This honestly was one of the worst places I've ever eaten! Ambience is good but Taste is horrible! read more

This is a very disappointing experience from service and ambiance experience. The food quality was moderate too high but a special night was ruined by the treatment of the front of house. One of our guests main entree was completely overcooked and unedible. The host and Hostess staff was not equipped to run this type of restaurant. The wait staff is extremely under trained and unprofessional. I'm not sure what the root of the problem is but it was a negative experience by everyone in my table. read more

Wonderful service and ambience as expected from the Four Seasons. The food here is amazing. One of the BEST meals we have had in Hawaii. Ordered the Ceviche and Loco Moco for appetizers, lamb chop and fish in ti leave as entree, finally Halo Halo as dessert. The lamb chop is supreme! The best lamb chop I have had in my life - melted in my mouth! If you are in Maui, book a reservation at sunset for an amazing experience at the Four Seasons. read more

We recently went to Spago as part of our 30th Anniversary celebration. The food was good, but not really up to what you'd expect from a Wolfgang Puck establishment. The server was attentive, but not as helpful as we experienced at a couple of other spots. The tomato basil soup was actually the highlight of the night. read more

We were recommended this place by locals as a great place to eat, but expensive. We left with an amazing experience. Our waiter, Jafet, was amazing at describing the menu and recommended all of the items we ordered. Started out with the tuna cones which were presented with a great presentation and the sweet and spicy taste was just right. We then moved onto to the next course which was the gnocchi, with a perfect blend of flavors of ricotta cheese and various proteins. The main course was the curry which had several different chutneys that were all perfectly blended with spices, both heat and sweet. They have probably the most extensive bourbon list on the island, and all reasonably priced. Amazing service and great ambience. read more

One of the best meals we had on Maui. Owned by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, Spago is a well recognized fine dining establishment with 5 locations worldwide. This location is at The Four Seasons in Wailea, making it very convenient for hotel guests, but available to anyone. My boyfriend made a reservation online, which are recommended. We were seated at a table inside, whose floor to ceiling glass walls offer a gorgeous view of the ocean. There is also a large amount of patio seating. I did not catch the names of our server and sommelier, but both men were attentive and highly knowledgeable of the menus. The wine list was easily the most impressive I have ever seen at a restaurant. Hundreds of rare and classic choices, ranging from $80-$1000 per bottle. After much deliberation, we were delighted to find one of our favorites from a recent Michelin Star wine pairing in the "Esoteric Whites" category: Pinot Gris, Domaine Zind Humbrecht, from the Alsatian region. Reasonably priced at $125, this bottle was just as refined and compatible with food as we remembered. The only vegetarian option on the menu is a starter salad, but fortunately several of the entrees can be modified to be vegan. I started with the Upcountry Green Salad and Beets, Maui Onion, and Island Goat-Feta, which was fantastic. The local greens and vegetables were incredibly fresh and flavorful, enhanced by the savory sesame oil based dressing, which was creamy without being too heavy. For my entree I had a vegan version of their Thai Pineapple-Coconut Red Curry, which is made with tofu instead of seafood. The curry was rich and intensely spiced, with bold, bright flavors. The chunks of tofu and vegetables were perfectly pan fried, and fully absorbed the velvety sauce. Every bite was unique and memorable. Dinner for two came to about $300 (with wine), which as hotel guests, we were able to bill to our room with a quick signature. They even allowed us to bring our unfinished wine bottle out of the restaurant and up to our room. We will definitely eat at Spago the next time we are in Maui. read more

This was my official birthday dinner in Maui. We expected more from the famous Wolfgang Puck's Spago at the Four Seasons. Spago look like a 5-star restaurant with an amazing view but the service wasn't near comparable to the service we received at CUT in Singapore. The focaccia bread and coconut crab cake appetizer was the best thing we ate there. I ordered the sirloin steak as my entree, it came with asparagus. It was all pretty good but not amazing (Merriman's food was much better). The eggplant was very flavorful but over cooked. And the desserts menu was boring and unappealing. The cookies they brought out for my birthday treat were average (the shortbread cookies at Merriman's were better). Two others in our party both ordered the lamb chops and they were inconsistently cut. One was thin and the other was thick. The one with the thicker chops said they were tough. The mushroom stir-fry was delicious. I usually don't make comparisons in my reviews but I had Merriman's the night before and was blown away by the mocktails, food and desserts. I was unfortunately extremely underwhelmed by Spago (in comparison). I was shocked that they didn't allow any substitutions...my husband doesn't want eggplant but that is what came with the lamb and our server said no substitution are allowed because it takes away from the chefs meal. read more

Short version: Food is A+, always fresh and flavorful, clean, beautiful, and full of great people. Menus are printed daily based on truly fresh catch and currently available, premium, local produce and ingredients. Long Version, o you know the quality of people serving you at Spago: Ugh....I hate posting pictures of food! And seeing pictures of your food, but Spago deserves it. I got to spend dinner with a couple of great friends and the kids tonight. We went to celebrate the anniversary of when I awoke in the hospital on 12/12/12 (I nearly died 12/11/12 from multiple grand mal seizures, don't remember any of if, and was unconscious for over 24 hours). I was employed by Spago at the time as a Back Server. Hospitalized for 11 days, I had visits from the GM at the time, Jacques Perwin, and from other coworkers. The day I was finally released Jacques told me to come in and pick up some food from the restaurant to take home. They provided us with premium steaks, Ahi, Thai curry, bread, and more, thank you! About a week later, I tried to tough it out and go back to work, with 4 fractured vertebrae in my back, from arching backwards so hard from the seizures....I wasn't ready to go back to work and had to leave from the pain, but before I left that evening, I was presented with an envelope stuffed with over $1000 cash, that the staff had been donating to while I was out, I cried, again, thank you! I haven't worked at Spago since the end of 2013, when I had to pick a location with a lighter load, due to my back pain. But the choice to go there for dinner tonight was obvious. Derrin Abac was the assistant manager when I worked there, he's now the GM. He was off tonight, but still did many things to make sure we were treated like royalty. The food was fresh and amazing, as always. Our server Jeb is a seasoned veteran, and service was impeccable. Austin and shared the Tomahawk Ribeye, 3 lbs! Yes, we have leftovers! Once more, I say thank you!! read more

Ambiance. How can you beat open-air dining overlooking the Four Seasons Resort, on the beach, in Maui? Service. The wait-staff was perfect. They were accommodating, engaging, and friendly. Exactly what I would expect from Wolfgang Puck's restaurant. Food. How could you go to a world reknowned chef's restaurant and not partake in the tasting menu? Here was the menu we sampled: - Spicy Ahi Tuna "Poke" in Sesame-Miso Cones - "Island Style" Big Island Ahi - Broiled Miso Marinated Walu - Kula White Cord Risotto with Sweet Shrimp - Ginger-Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi-Mahi - Indian Spiced Crispy Fillet of Moi - Grilled "Chinois" Style Lamb Chops - Hana Hawaiian Float - Chocolate Malted Pot de Creme Of particular note were the Spicy Ahi Tuna "Poke" in Sesame-Miso Cones. What a fantastic way to eat delicious, raw tuna. Beautifully presented and expertly prepared, I could have eaten this for the entire night. I do wish the Kula White Cord Risotto with Sweet Shrimp had more shrimp in the dish. Also, the Indian Spiced Crispy Fillet of Moi was perfectly spiced and flavorful. While the $135/person price tag is steep and artificially high due to being at the Four Seasons, our experience at Spago was absolutely amazing. read more

Spago - Tasting Menu, June 2009 - Asian Fusion Near Me - Maui, Hawaii

Compared to other restaurants in Wailea I think it comes up short. That's not to say the food is bad, just that you can find better food for the price range. Loved the food at the Andaz just down the street for example. However, with that said, my wife and I did love the wine list, seafood risotto and tomato soup starters. I ordered the bone in NY Sirloin as we had eaten seafood for just about every other meal. Our server also recommended it and stated he personally orders it every time he eats there. It was ok...lacking tenderness and a bit chewy. If you go I'd say the seafood is the better route. read more

If you ever travel to Maui, this is a must-stop restaurant on the southwest (locally referred to as south) coast. Without a doubt, this is the best meal my husband and I ate while honeymooning in Hawaii - and it was on our last day there! We arrived for a 5:30pm reservation, which we would highly recommend for anyone looking to get primary seating and a great view of the sunset. The service was remarkable; everyone was extremely knowledgeable about proper pairings and menu options, and set the tone for the top-notch experience we were about to have. Though I usually don't "waste space on bread", the bread served while we waited for our appetizers was a very worthy exception. The three types we received were moist, flavorful, and light. No butter was necessary to enjoy them, though they provided butter for those who prefer it. The appetizers soon followed, including the Slow Braised Korean Pork Belly and the Spicy Ahi Poke Cones. Both were outstanding, but the pork belly won both of us over as our favorite dish of the night. It practically melted in our mouths while our tastebuds were taken on a journey of powerful flavor combinations that seemed so simple, but were very complex. The Chinois Style Lamb was beautifully cooked, lined with the perfect amount of cooked crispiness and paired with a fresh green and semi-sour sauce. The Thai Seafood and Pineapple-Coconut Red Curry dish was a delightful explosion of flavors. It contained a healthy amount of vegetables and seafood while keeping the primary focus on the curry. Lastly, we ordered a souffle pancake for dessert, which they thoughtfully decorated with a congratulations message written in chocolate. It was light and fluffy while also rich with berry deliciousness. We could not have asked for a better way to end our two weeks island hopping around Hawaii. read more
