    Fire knife dance is actually farther away.
    Claire B.

    Spago felt more like a lovely dinner spot than a destination for celebrating a special occasion, as our anniversary wasn't acknowledged during the meal by our main server. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had been quite spoiled at the Fairmont restaurants and at Ferraro's, where we were given wonderful sunset-view tables and where our anniversary was warmly acknowledged.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]At Spago, we were seated three rows back near the bar. Fair enough--only so many tables can have prime placement--but unlike Ferraro's, there was no acknowledgment of our anniversary at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No "Happy Anniversary," and no sense that it had been noted. I assumed I must have left it off the reservation, as there was no recognition during service. The only mention came from Vicky, the assistant server, who remarked on how unusual 31 years of marriage is and asked our secret. That was appreciated, but it was the extent of it. Our main server was professional but somewhat perfunctory and not especially warm. Vicky, on the other hand, was friendly and genuinely pleasant. On the food side, there were some bright spots. I enjoyed the Guava Lava--a lemon, coconut, and pineapple cocktail that drinks like dessert. The bread platter was a highlight: onion sourdough focaccia, Samoan rolls, and wheat-and-thyme flatbread crisps served with butter, yuzu, and baba ghanoush. I also enjoyed the macadamia nut-crusted mahi mahi, which was well prepared. For dessert, we ordered the Lemon Zinger. Only ten are made each night due to the labor involved. It was light, refreshing, and nicely done. "Happy Anniversary" was written in chocolate on the plate--there, we were finally celebrated, Spago-style, thanks to Vicky. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're there on a Saturday or Sunday evening, you can catch a partial view of the Fire Knife show, which takes place at 6:30 pm and is visible from the balcony.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Coming from Las Vegas we have lots of fine dinning choices. Came to this place for a sunset birthday dinner. The drinks were great the appetizers were okay as well as the entrée it took awhile for our food to come out as well. Dessert was atrocious the cake was frozen for a fine dining establishment they should be embarrassed. It was an argument trying to get the server to take it off. It was a $400 cake that not one of us finished they tried to get us to take it home so they could still charge us. Was told it was freshly made right before we showed up the fruit and cream was frozen solid. If you pride yourself on fine dinning and the best of this and that DO NOT FREEZE your desserts. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was amazing but I've been to a few places here for a fraction of the price that has amazing food and desserts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would save your money (about $100-$150 per person) and check out other places.

    We had a great experience at Spago's. Yeah, it was expensive dinner and I know most folks won't want to use their dollars for $100 bottles of wine (low end) and $95 plates. This is definitely an experience for a special occasion. We saved money to have this dinner because it was important to us. We paid the cost of four dinner dates. It was worth it for us. No photo for our appetizer. I forgot about it. Our steak and fish dinners were amazing. We received three desserts. Two were complimentary and one we purchased. Service was top tier. And the ambiance was unforgettable. Our view was amazing and we watched the sunset while eating. (I created a collection of all the restaurants we visited on Maui from fine dining to food trucks and all in between.)

    This restaurant is fantastic. One of the best service experiences I've ever had. The waiter and bus team went above and beyond. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came on valentines day, the weather was nice and we sat outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had a prix fixe menu which was very good. I think for the price and portions very good gets 4* though part of me wants to give 5* because of the service and ambiance. A true 4.5 I guess. Would recommend, would go back, would try different menu items.

    Culinary Review: Spago Maui [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dining at Spago Maui strikes an impressive balance between refined culinary execution and the relaxed elegance that defines the island itself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the restaurant certainly delivers the caliber of cuisine expected from a Wolfgang Puck establishment, the experience feels refreshingly unpretentious--elevated without ever becoming stiff or overly formal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From the moment we arrived, the service set the tone for the evening. Manager Danny made a point to check on our table several times throughout the evening, ensuring everything was running smoothly, while our waitress Emma delivered truly exceptional service. She was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and warm in a way that felt genuine rather than rehearsed. An additional staff member--whose name I unfortunately did not catch--noticed an opportunity to enhance our experience and moved us to a table with a better view. It was a thoughtful gesture that was not requested but deeply appreciated, and I regret not getting his name to recognize him properly. Small acts like that demonstrate an attentiveness to guest experience that goes beyond routine service. The bartender also deserves recognition. The drinks were prepared beautifully, and the individual who crafted them was equally kind and welcoming. It added another layer to an already enjoyable evening. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What stood out most throughout the restaurant was the atmosphere among the staff: every single person seemed to be smiling and genuinely happy to be there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In hospitality, that level of morale is rare and speaks volumes about the culture of the restaurant. The culinary execution was equally memorable. I ordered the New York strip steak cooked medium, and the kitchen delivered it flawlessly. Achieving a true medium without scorching the exterior is not always easy, but Spago's chefs managed it perfectly--the steak was evenly cooked, beautifully tender, and expertly seasoned. Our meal began with bluefin tuna, shishito peppers, and mushrooms, which turned out to be the highlights of the evening for both my wife and me. The tuna was exceptionally fresh and clean in flavor, while the peppers and mushrooms offered a satisfying contrast of texture and savory depth. These dishes were simple yet refined, allowing the ingredients to shine. We also tried the Thai-style seafood coconut curry. While the dish was well-prepared and flavorful, it leaned slightly too sweet for my preference. That said, the seafood itself was fresh and well cooked, and the dish remained enjoyable despite the sweetness. Our drinks complemented the meal nicely: a classic Arnold Palmer, a crisp Prosecco, and a glass of ice wine to finish the evening. To close the evening, the kitchen surprised us with a birthday dessert--a generous gesture that added a thoughtful personal touch to the experience. The Basque cheesecake was outstanding, with its signature caramelized exterior and luxuriously creamy interior. Alongside it came a beautifully prepared profiterole that provided the perfect contrast of textures: light choux pastry, rich filling, and indulgent sweetness. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, Spago Maui succeeds in delivering a high-end dining experience that still feels distinctly Hawaiian--relaxed, welcoming, and joyful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent service, thoughtfully executed dishes, and a team that clearly enjoys what they do make this restaurant stand out even in Maui's competitive dining scene.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Delicious food with a peaceful ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We watched the sunset on the terrace while we are the pea pappardelle, Wagyu Ragu gnocchi, and jalapeño mocktail. Friendly, delicious, highly recommend.

    Spago is an LA establishment known for founding Michelin star worthy food within the city, perhaps even the state. Thus, for visitors to Maui and especially those from California, Spago is a familiar sight. Located in the Four Seasons hotel where the first season of White Lotus was filmed, there is certainly plenty of fun of enjoying this location whether visiting the hotel or staying in it. When it comes to Spago Maui, it is certainly a much less formal version of its sister restaurant in California and presents a tropical vibe. It is not focused on multi course dining experiences or meticulous details, while the service is relaxed, albeit friendly while still being attentive. Presentation of dishes is also simple, while portions are fairly generous. Spago Maui is not about pushing the boundaries of creativity, but rather focuses on pleasure of food. Thus, it is important to arrive to Spago with the right expectations that this is not a dining experience that would typically land any Michelin stars, but is more centric around comforting dishes in a tropical atmosphere. Dishes like Asian style steamed fish with bok choy are remarkably satisfying. Curried catch of the day is amazing. Rolls are constructed attentively. Pavlova was sadly extremely over-sweetened, so maybe skip the dessert. The wine list is impressive with an amazing sommelier on site from Wolfgang Puck's sister restaurant in Vegas. So, order what looks most pleasing at the moment, chat with the somm and enjoy the sunset.

    Food was amazing! The staff were not. The 3 stars Is only to reflect the treatment from Staff. The 2 young front desk workers were very unwelcoming. Tried to prove we had no reservation. Said they found it but it was for 3 days later, and currently had no space. We obviously see a lot of tables available. I showed my phone confirmation, but they said we are now 8 mins too late. Did another reservation in front of their faces. They didn't expect another available spot, so they made me wait an additional 15 mins longer than my new reservation time. The waiter - David with the Shirley temple curls was decent AFTER realizing we actually had money to spend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I noticed we didn't fit the color of the restaurant... after people in the restaurant saying how we looked so Hawaiian / local, fees like they sure try to keep our look out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ugly America displayed in my favorite Chef's restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll continue visiting other Wolfgang locations, but this one is definitely a prejudice feeling spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely ruined my night. Hard to enjoy my dinner after feeling so unwelcomed[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I didn't want to leave after already tipping the Valet parking only at the 4 seasons. Wolfgang recipes are always next level though, no doubt.

    Hand Cut Tagliatelle Pasta with Local Mushrooms
    Berna G.

    Spago Maui was the perfect choice for a special dinner during vacation. The beachfront views were incredible, it made the entire experience feel extra luxurious. The menu has a great variety of seafood, pasta, and Asian fusion dishes. Our server also let us know of some off-menu items and chef specials. We ordered a number of things and our server arranged them in a way that would be best enjoyed- from starters to small plates to our main course. Just about everything we got was a standout dish, but I especially loved the Hand Cut Tagliatelle Pasta with Local Mushrooms. The complimentary focaccia also deserves a mention. I also *needed* to try Wolfgang Puck's signature smoked salmon pizza topped with Kaluga's Caviar. The NY steak was cooked to a perfect medium and had a yummy homemade steak sauce too. We ended the night with their ice cream and espressos for the drive back to our hotel.

    Is outside wine allowed and if so what is the corkage fee?

    Yes, $65 per bottle but only two are allowed but if you have a magnum it's $160 I believe

    Is there a kids menu?

    Yes they have one

    Do they have happy hour?

    No, but they offer kamaaina with two forms of Hawaii I.D. Only on food!

    Would khaki shorts and a button down shirt or collared polo shirt be appropriate dress wise?

    Yes! That's what my BF wore most nights we went. Very Hawaii dress up, which is casual

Despite all these particular eating criteria, I enjoyed trying the various pokes! They have at least 10 different to choose from, that it was difficult choosing just two for my husband and I to try. I believe I got the Hawaiian Style, and also the Shoyu style. I liked the Shoyu one a bit better, for more sauciness and soy sauce added to the ahi. I also really liked how this place includes rice (huge win for eating right away!) and in a separate container! Well thought out!! Also credit cards are accepted. Great poke find quite close to the airport. Would recommend if you're starving coming off your flight, want something fast and easy, that you can enjoy instantly.
