UPDATE: The Spago manager (Darren) contacted me last evening and sincerely apologized for our experience. He understood that what we missed out on was the experience of a special evening out together and apologized for Spago's service. He also said he would be refunding our bill and offered to have us come back to the restaurant so they could try to provide us with a better experience. Although it was nice of him to offer we really do not want to go back so I politely declined that offer but thanked him for refunding our bill from last Friday. He also said he would be using this as a tool to help educate and train the staff so that hopefully they can improve their overall experience for their customers. Thank you Darren for your sincere apology and for your follow up. For those of you who know me you know that I really appreciate good customer service - something that is typically lacking at most restaurants here in Maui. Last night Dara and I had set the night aside to go on a special date night just the two of us. We wanted to get dressed up and feel fancy and go somewhere nice. We debated on a few different spots and eventually chose Spago at the Four Seasons. The meal started off pretty good, prompt service, first few courses were ok, cocktail was pretty tasty etc. Then our Kampachi Crudo & Ahi Tataki appetizer was delivered. I could smell it as it was being dropped on our table (not in a good way). My first bite made me gag so hard that it almost came out of my mouth. Giving the restaurant the benefit of the doubt I thought maybe I had just gotten a bad piece so Dara decided to try a small piece. She couldn't swallow it and had to spit it out. Our server saw this happen and came over and asked if everything was OK. Now mind you, Dara and I NEVER send anything back. If we don't like it we tend to just pay for it and order something else. But since the server saw her reaction we were honest with him and told him that I think the fish is rotten. He took the dish back to the kitchen and when he came back out this is what he told us: The chef says that Kampachi has a "fishy flavor profile" and that all of our fish is delivered fresh daily. To which I responded: we eat sashimi style Kampachi, Hamachi, Ahi etc on a weekly basis and really enjoy its flavor and I am telling you that fish is rotten. To which he responds: well I guess everyone has different flavor profiles so to each is own..... We were both pretty shocked at his response considering they were going to take it off our bill anyways and we were super polite about it. Why not just come back out and say hey we are sorry you didn't like that dish and we have taken it off your bill, would you like to order something different? I mean in the end we weren't going to pay for it anyways so why anger your customer like that? Shortly after that a table close to us ordered a bottle of white wine. I then watched the server go behind the bar and take two open half empty bottles and pour one into the other and screw the cap back on and then walk over to the table unscrewed the cap as if the bottle was brand new and served the bottle of wine to the couple. Not only are you cheating your customer but that is illegal under Maui liquor laws. Throughout the night servers would come behind the bar and gossip about their tables to the bartenders. This happened numerous times so loudly that we could hear what they were saying. How unprofessional to talk shit about the people you are serving and do it right in front of other customers. At one point the floor manager even came behind the bar and started talking shit about a few customers and all the staff started laughing. Overall, it was a terrible experience. Being out several hundred bucks is one thing but to set a night aside (I am almost always working on Friday nights when Dara is off and she usually spends those nights at home by herself) to have a special night out together and have it ruined but such terrible service really sucks. read more

Every time we're in Maui we love dinning at Spago. Tried to get reservations the day we flew in but were told none were available. We decided to go and take our chances at the bar since we love the place. We walked in about 6:45ish that night and again inquired about a table and was told none were available. We sat at bar to dine and the whole time we were at Spago there were empty tables in the inside of the restaurant. I guess when they said all tables were reserved it meant ALL PERIMETER outside tables. On a positive note, The food and service was awesome as usual! We had the ahi tuna poke cones, the Hong Kong style Opakapaka and Thai curry shrimp and scallops. read more

Valentine's Day was fantastic over looking Wailea Beach. Food was excellent!! Waiter Jeb was very knowledgeable, bus person Kia was very friendly. Reservation person Sararose was extremely helpful and friendly helping book the reservation. Definitely will return next year. read more

Phenomenal. One of the best meals we have ever eaten and the service was impeccable. Started out at the bar with a terrific old fashioned and one of the best gin fizz my wife has ever had. Seating was nice, but I wish they could have taken advantage of the ocean view. We should have sat outside and enjoyed the sunset and ambiance. Wine was ordered from an extensive and impressive list. We started with a charred eggplant, and it was delicious. Not overstated or made into something it wasn't. Very simple but executed perfectly. Next up I ordered the fish curry and everything about it was memorable. I wanted to lick the bowl clean, but my wife frowned upon it. She ordered the pappardelle bolognese, and it missed the mark. Very under seasoned and quite bland. When our waiter, Matt, asked how our meal tasted, we told him about the lack of seasoning. He was very apologetic and immediately took the dish and had it re-fired. In 5 minutes a new plate of wonderful bolognese arrived. It was worlds better than the first. Then we enjoyed the chocolate soufflé ... and came back the next night for the soufflé. You must order this. Seriously. Matt, our waiter was awesome. Very friendly guy who attended to every detail and obviously did the right thing when it came to the bolognese. My wife and I will eat here again, and hopefully soon. read more

We spent Thanksgiving 2019 at Spago with friends. We thought it might be a bit dicey as the restaurant was just reopening after a remodel so several phone calls were made in prior days confirming our 5:15 reservation. When we got there the hostess said "oh we actually have you at 7pm". We checked with Four Seasons manager and he confirmed we were in his computer for 5:15pm for a party of 6. We were seated at 6:45pm. We ordered a bottle of $150 Pinot Noir from the wine menu and it oddly came relabeled as a PUCK "house wine" - when asked the waiter said look at the fine detail on back of bottle this is the same winery and is that wine. Service was poor overall, no apology by restaurant for the 90minute wait post our reservation. Meal was not acceptable for a four seasons/Spago- I am pretty sure it was made and hour before and kept under a warmer (Dry/tasteless). We were 4 adults and 4 kids...Bill came to about $750 for a few shared appetizers a few shared desserts and 8 entrees. Attached is pic of entree-underwhelming. read more

Spago - Thxgiving turkey dinner at spago maui - Asian Fusion Near Me - Maui, Hawaii

We went to Spago in the four seasons Maui. The food was salty and way too much butter. Main dishes were excellent. The desert was a mess- a pancake that they put into the oven where it rises to a soufflé. Choice of 2 sauces - berry or banana. The banana was so overly sweet and then the service of this desert- the server cut the soufflé and plopped it in my plate - it became a sloppy mess. Overall the restaurant is overly expensive and not so good. Duo, Monkeypod, and Pita Paradise all far superior and very close by. read more

Our Spago experience was ok. My main compliant is that although I had told them we were celebrating my husband's birthday (it was his actually Birthday) they did nothing special. Come on Spago why even ask? The food was good- the chef made me an awesome veggie dish and my husband had the Mahi. Both dishes were fantastic with attention paid to every detail. Our server David was great. Sunset was beautiful- perfect spot for dinner. Thank you Spago. read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. My wife and I don't get to indulge in food like this too often, but when we do Spago is just incredibly delicious. We've been here a few times, and it's always been good, but this time our waiter made it a very memorable evening. We were with our friends (another couple) who was celebrating their wedding anniversary. Our waiter, Gilbert, was an energetic local guy and he quickly recognized us as "kama'aina." He was very attentive, funny, and promised he "won't say no to any request." And he was right! Maybe it was the way he interacted with us, making us laugh with his witty humor, or his commitment to reciting all of the ingredients in our dishes, but we felt like he gave us just the right balance of attention and privacy throughout the night. He also made excellent recommendations and went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable. The food, as usual, was excellent - we had some wagyu steak, the poke "cones" that were unlike any "poke" I've ever had, crab cakes, pork loin, and chocolate soufflé for dessert. The flavors are so good, and blend together perfectly in each dish. After we left, though, we kept talking about Gilbert. He helped make our night very special. I have had great service at many restaurants but I might go as far as to say he's the best waiter I have ever had. I cannot wait until our next visit to Spago and I will specifically make our reservation on a day that he's working. He was THAT good! read more

Food was really good! The 3 course kids meal was an awesome value as even an adult wouldn't be able to finish it. Parking is validated if you eat at this restaurant. My husband and I each ordered a pasta and it was delicious. We though we might need more food, but it was large. read more

Waiter took 10-15 minutes at table next To us without spending more than 30 seconds with us once seating. Had heart set on the 5-course meal but waiter said was not enough time and kitchen was closing without additional options or accommodating. It was explained it was our honeymoon and waiter said he'd ask the chef but walked away noticeably annoyed shaking his head. So very Disappointed in this service, taken aback by the rudeness. I get it's the end of the night and employees want to go home but reservations were made and we were told coming in before 930 was for sure okay. read more

I took my family to Spago for Thanksgiving while we were in Maui. We all ordered the "Turkey Dinner". Three out of five of us received a very dry turkey that had almost no flavor and was simply bland. The other two were just OK. A major let down as I thought a Wolfgang Puck restaurant would have done a great meal for Thanksgiving. Sadly, that was not the case. It gets worse. I order a Mai Tai when the waiter (Ben) first came to our table. After our bland meals arrived I asked again about my Mai Tai that never showed up (Ben then went to check on it). More time went by and then I asked AGAIN about my Mai Tai. Ben went back to the bar to check again. This time Ben came back and said "The bar ran out of ingredients to make a Mai Tai but didn't tell me". Well, I have two thoughts on this matter: 1) I don't know if Ben dropped the ball or the bartender did, but it sure sucks that I had to wait until AFTER I completely ate my Thanksgiving dinner to find out my pre-dinner cocktail was never going to make it to my table. 2) How in the heck does a bar in Maui run out of ingredients to make a Mai Tai?! Really? I also ordered an appetizer of Spicy Ahi "Poke" In Sesame-Miso Cones. Wolfgang Puck is famous for these and they serve them in other restaurants of his (I've had them many times and love them). Unfortunately, at Spago in Wailea (Maui), what I received were miso cones filled with unappetizing mush. I couldn't eat two of the three cones provided. Big letdown as I kept thinking of these for weeks since I made the reservation. I will say I appreciate the manager allowing us to move from a table outside where it was cold and windy to a nice table inside (that helped or we would have all been miserable). It was very cold and super windy that night. I love Wolfgang Puck and have been to many of his restaurants (I even got to take a picture with him once). This was my third visit to Spago in Maui, but it will likely be my last. Something just isn't right at this location for that many things to go wrong during our dinner there. read more

We came back to Maui for our 10 year anniversary and made reservations 2 weeks in advanced for a great seat and great server. Everything was going well. The service was good just like the last time we came. However, the food was average. Such a disappointment. We had the ahi cones and they were fishy, we also had the opakapaka and it was bland and smothered with spice almost covering up the flavor. The Maui sweet onion bread is still amazing. We've come here back to back years and I got to tell you, it was light and day. Spend your $300 bucks elsewhere. There are so many great restaurants that give you a better meal with the same view. Not sure we'd come back next year... read more

The food was very over priced and tasteless. The wait staff hovered all night and intervened at inappropriate times (with no tact). The Mahi Mahi was dry and not worth $60. Overall definitely dont recommend. There are great restaurants around the four seasons that are much more worth it. read more

i used to love going there but now they treat you like cattle. We made reservations at 830 which is late for us. When we arrived with our party everyone was dressed and ready we were kept waiting and no seating as hotel was full so we wandered about for a almost a half hour.Finally we did find a nice sofa to sit and wait. When we got a text we went over and one lady said come in then she walked away with another party who was behind us and we were left wondering what we were all doing standing in the middle of the restaurant So we went back out to the entrance and another lady took us to a table in the back dark room. Its not what we we asked for and she said if we wanted the table seating in the front of the restaurant or the sides but not the dark back room it would be another 20 to thirty minutes. We all went home it's kind of disgusting that the place was like a cheap Dennys with people just sitting on benches outside waiting. They all did not look happy My take is the manager to max on profit wants to overbook and get every last dime. Terrible experience for my entire party. Hey Four Seasons Do not take reservations if you can't handle it. Yes I understand completely that you have no control over how long folks take to sit and eat. But if you are a first class restaurant your manager should not slam people in there and overbook. read more

What happened to the amazing service pre-Covid? So sad... lived Maui all my life & I was a regular customer here. Not to mention if you have a big party you can't eat here unless you spend a minimum of $1800 even if 4 out of the 6 guest are children. Insanity read more

If I could give it a negative it would be -5...What an over priced tourist trap! We've lived on Maui for over 6 yr's now, and have always avoided restaurants in the big resorts! Unfortunately we were given a $100.00 gift cert to this place! So we reserved a dinner date for mid June...well they lost our gift cert, and after much debate finally "located it". Too bad for us, as we would have left if they hadn't found it... this $100.00 "gift" basically covered 1 hors d'oeuvre & 2 glasses of wine...2 dinners & 2 more glasses of wine was another $200.00 before the gratuity! The proportions were minuscule at best, & without much flavor... again, a total rip off!! Will NEVER set foot it this place again, hopefully they'll do us all a favor and go out of business. read more

Lets begin with what really is important when you go to a nice restaurant....It starts with fantastic service and kindness, throw in some fine food, some good wine, and what you have is a great meal. Why did we experience this once-in-a-lifetime meal? ONE WORD: JEB. Jeb is an Angel from the Heavens, A delicate blonde dove who soars in the bright blue sky on a beautiful sunny day....Jeb's hair resembles a bleached sunflower, his voice whispers like a song in the wind, his sense of humor is free-flowing and witty, and his attentiveness and demeanor would make Mussolini weak at the knees. We went again two days later, not to eat though, to enjoy Jebs company at the bar. We loved Jeb, and we are pretty sure Jeb loved us. When ordering, Get the Poke Miso-Cones, the A5 wagyu, and if you are lucky enough to hear the sweet pitter-patter of Jeb's footsteps at your table, you'll find yourself in your own personal Nirvana. read more

I couldn't have been more disappointed. I made reservation seven weeks in advance for my sisters 50th bday dinner. I was taking her to Maui because she lost her husband just a few short months ago. When I made the reservation I made clear that we would like a table with a view and it was her birthday. I made the reservation so far in advance to make sure it wouldn't be a problem. I also was a guest at the Four Seasons in a premium room. We showed up to the restaurant and the hostess who was not kind and chose to seat people who arrived after us, then 10 minutes after or reservation time sits us up against a wall with no view of anything. I politely asked her off to the side why the reservation wasn't honored and she said we had to take the table first available. I could have taken her anywhere, and I indicated that they should of told me that when I made the reservation almost two months ago. The meal, we chose what we were told was their specialty - Mahi Mahi crusted with Macadamia Nuts, came to the table overcooked (both of ours) with plates so hot you could tell that they just sat under a heat lamp somewhere. At $60 a plate it was so terribly disappointing and I was so embarrassed to have built this up to my sister. My heart was really broken because I wanted it to be so special. I can't recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Extremely disappointed with Four Season Hotel dining experience here !! We sat down for a few minutes and a pretty blonde waitress greeted us. I just causally mentioned that we came here for my daughter 7 year old birthday celebration . Then, she immediately said: " there is no free dessert for birthday ! " So absurd! Then worst was that the kid's chicken was uncuttable and we asked for exchanged for pizza. My husband ordered a medium steak which was almost well done and got exchanged to a curry chicken which was good. Both kids stated that that was the worst birthday dinner. The waitress just simply ruined our mood and appetite by accusing us for free dessert. I should have left immediately!!! I m very upset still when my SIL asked whether Spago is good for dinner , which brings up all bad memories. Indeed unbelievably bad for world class hotel restaurant ! read more

We have been coming to Maui for 17+ years and have always made a point to dine at Spago because of the excellent service, delicious food and incredible view. However, after making reservations months in advance we were excited to dine here but were very disappointed. We were seated in a banquet room adjacent to the real restaurant, the food was sub-par and the service not great. We left before even having desert that we had ordered, paid for and never received. Not sure we will return again, very disappointing. read more

We were in Maui for 6 days and this was the best restaurant we ate at, by far. The food was amazing and service was on point. I believe our waiters name was David. Make sure you get the truffle pasta. We got it as an appetizer and it was worth the 88$. read more

I have has such an amazing time on vacation I don't think anything at this point could be a letdown. But hands down this was the best meal I have had in a very long time. The staff treated me and my guests so amazingly well. It truly was a roll the red carpet out for us experience!!! Of course it was a little spendy, but that was too be expected. I highly recommend eating at Spago if you ever have the chance. You will not be disappointed! read more

Wonderful food, great atmosphere and view and tremendous service. Be sure and ask for Jeb. He was outstanding. Wonderful knowledge of the menu and also a local so had great insight about the islands. Highly recommended. read more

We came here on the first night of our honeymoon. Everything was perfect, the food, the service, and the view. The ahi tuna poke cones are a must-try. In our opinion, the fish dishes were just as good as Mama's Fish House and a bit cheaper. We tried the seafood red curry (best red curry I've ever had!) and the opakapaka. Both outstanding. We will absolutely be back at Spago the next time we return to Maui. It was a wonderful meal to start off our honeymoon! read more

My family had dinner here on Christmas Eve. When we called to confirm our reservation for 8 people we were told that the reservation was only made for 6 guests. They told us they were fully committed but would in fact increase the size of our reservation. Great. When we arrived for our 8:30 reservation we waited for half an hour for our table. Understandable since it is a well known place on a busy evening. We were told they were setting it up several times, which must actually have been true because when we sat down the table wasn't even fully set. Once we sat down the service was awful. It wasn't the servers fault necessarily. He and everyone else were stretched far too thin to even contemplate providing a proper service. They were too busy for their own good and should have taken fewer reservations. Unfortunately our server had barely enough time to take our entree order. We skipped cocktails and apps because we knew it would take too long. And the food? It was good. Nothing special but still tasty. For the money, you can have a much more pleasant experience and equally delicious meal at about half a dozen other restaurants in the Wailea area. All in all, it's just okay. read more

Excellent customer service and great food. My husband and I visited Maui for our honeymoon and the experience at Spago was better than our expectation. Due to that reason, we visited Spago twice in one week! Surprisingly, second visit was better than the previous one! I forgot to ask the name of our waiter but he was an older man with so much humor and enthusiasm and made my husband and me feel like we were so welcomed here. He gave us detailed menu explanation and recommendations and made us laugh til the end! The bread that were served before the meal is AMAZING, you must must try! I'm a fan of sourdough bread and I know there is nothing special about sourdough but I must tell you their bread is fresh and warm and also have great selection of other breads as well. My husband kept eating the onion soft bread that they have which were so yummy! It was so tempting not to make our stomachs full before our main dishes came. The breads are just so addicting! I wish they could sell them separately so that I take them home to enjoy... During the two visits, we tried 15 vegetable salad (so refreshing and they do have 15 vegetables! we counted lol), Thai Style Opakapaka dish (perfectly seasoned and cooked and portion was perfect for two) and crab cake (soft, creamy, wish we had ordered one more!), pork chop dish (portion is big, cooked very well, hope it was little more seasoned though), and thai curry (no special flavor to it, personally authentic thai restaurants do way better). Even though overall food quality earns them 3 stars, the customer service achieves them two more stars for providing us such a memorable and happy dinner time! read more

I expect food to be pretty perfect at this price point. I had tagliatelle for first course. Pasta was cut way too thick, but the dish was seasoned properly. Main courses were salmon and curry. Salmon was very under seasoned, especially the potatoes. Curry was very over seasoned. It's astonishing that these made it to the table like this. Taste the food! Adjust the seasoning! I mean this is just kitchen basics. Don't waste your money here. We were also sat 25 minutes after our reservation and when we didn't finish our entrees, management was very pushy. We specifically said, we don't need anything else, you don't have to credit the bill, just please bring the check. We just wanted to go, the manager was grilling us about where we were going and when we needed to be there bc she really wanted to bring something out. We had to say the words, "no thank you, please bring the check" about 10 times. So invasive and pushy, do you want access to my calendar?? Ugh, so off-putting. read more

Ahi cones are the best ahi we have ever had!!!!!! We order ahi all the time but have never had something so unique and tasty! For my main course I ordered the shrimp curry which was impressive. My boyfriend had ordered a steak which was prepared just as he had requested. read more

After reading the review of Jeb, we knew that we had to experience Spago, and hopefully this cherub Jeb, for ourselves! Unfortunately, his dove wings must have gotten tangled in a cloud, for he was nowhere to be seen on our chosen night. Thankfully, our evening found its own savior...Yeshua. While his voice may not whisper like a song in the wind, it delivers a chef's-level knowledge of the menu and the kind of unexpected, yet delightful, wine pairings that only a sommelier with a truly discriminating palate can envision. I did not notice the pitter-patter of Yeshua's footsteps, for he took strides as any normal adult would, but the service was perfectly timed. So perfect, in fact, that the moment our main entree was delivered table-side with a flourish, my wife literally cried with joy. And while we know nothing about Jeb's ears, Yeshua's ears listened to our passions and preferences and delivered an experience that was elegant, relaxing, and extremely thoughtful. Whether you're on Maui for one night or one hundred, the memories you make there will last for a lifetime. While you may not remember whether his hair resembled sunflowers, you'll never forget how Yeshua's perfectly crafted evening left you feeling like ali'i (royalty.) read more

I am disappointed with service at front desk: I reserved for 2 several months before arriving at the Four Seasons. After waiting 15 minutes past the reservation time, we were escorted a few feet from our waiting spot to a bar table. I asked the waitress for a real table in the restaurant and I was dismissed for asking and told I could ask (beg?) the reservationists. In turn the several reservationists said when they had time they might look but don't get my hopes up. Food was mediocre as the service: the signature veal was medicinal in flavor and aroma, fish meh and overall a disappointing meal. The Four Seasons has a house run Italian restaurant offering both good service and food. Spago here is an on site mediocrity with undertrained service that exists due to location. Unlike their Beverly Hills location Spago on Maui is a poor chain mall like representation. read more

Spago in Beverly Hills has been touted as L.A.'s most iconic restaurant and I've been interested in this famous restaurant since Chef Wolfgang Puck received two Michelin stars in 2008 and 2009. My husband surprised me by reserving our anniversary dinner at Spago in Maui. We were seated next to the balcony outside overlooking the beautiful ocean. The view and sunset was incredible. The service was good--everything you would expect from an establishment in the Four Seasons Hotel. I lost control over the bread basket. The parmesan-garlic focaccia paired with Hawaiian sea salt and creamy butter was amazing. The poke cones were delish. Cookies for the anniversary dessert was lame and not characteristic of how FS celebrates special occasions. Honestly, I was hoping for an outstanding food experience. In my opinion, the popularity of Spago with its expansion in several cities (Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, Istanbul, and the recently closed Avon, CO) has made it more of a 'good corporate' experience. Bottom line: Save your money for another upscale dining experience that is memorable. If you desire to enjoy the spectacular view and roam the grounds of the resort, I would suggest brunch at Duo or appetizers and drinks at Ferrero over dining at Spago. read more

If I could give them no star, I would do that. We reserve our table 3 days in advance, we also call them to make sure that we have a table with sunset view because we were celebrating our honeymoon. Surpassingly, when we got there even 10 minutes earlier than our reservation time, they gave us a table far behind, and they told us it's first come first serve. So what is the point for reservation. It was very disappointing. Also there is not many table with view. So I don't recommend this place. read more

Thank you for ruining my birthday... we had an RSV and waited for 30 minutes to be seated. Everyone in line was sat before us, and some of them had later reservation times than us. The service here sucks with super young hostesses where this is probably their first job. I was truly excited to try this restaurant since we have tried most of the top places in Maui but unfortunately I left after 30 minutes. Thank you for nothing. read more

Oh WOW! If you go to Maui you have, have, have to go to Spago. It isn't just dinner it is an entire experience. It begins when you drive up to the Four Season. The valets make you feel welcome. The hostess provided a warm welcome. The view is absolutely breathtaking. They seated us on the patio looking out over the ocean. All of the tables are thinner ovals and pushed up against the railing/wall so that no one has their back to the view. The service is exactly what you expect - 5 stars and beyond. Our water glasses were never less than half full. The waiter, Chris, was one of the best waiters I've ever had. Very personable and knowledgeable about each of the items on the menu. The evilness of the night was the bread. They bring around a tray with 6 different kinds of bread and they keep coming and coming and coming. It was hard to choose a favorite but I think that I like the crisp triangles with cheese. Oh screw - I can't pick a favorite, I was on vacation and I pick them all. We elected not to order an appetizer but to save room for dessert. My husband and I both ordered the Thai Seafood & Pineapple-Coconut Red Curry. It had shrimp, Onaga, Mahi-Mahi, Galagal, Kaffir Line, Thai Basil and Green Papaya Salad. This also come with three little dishes of the three sauces. Although perfectly balanced already I promptly dumped all of them in my dish. It also is served with a bowl of white and brown rice. I recently read an article that the third item is the most ordered item on the menu. I re-reviewed the Spago menu and there it is in the third spot. Go figure. Sad panda portion - by the time I finished probably what was an entire loaf of bread and the more than yummy Thai dish I had no room left for dessert. But...Since I had indicated when I made the reservation that we were celebrating our 17th anniversary, which the waiter had mentioned when we first sat down. he brought us a plate of fresh baked cookies with "Happy 17th Anniversary" written on the plate. Now for those of you who are Monty Python fans this is the equivalent the wafer thin mint skit. I couldn't leave without taking one bite from each of the cookies. The rest were boxed up for us to take with us. If I could give Spago - Maui more than 5 stars I certainly would. read more

Done, done, done with the overrated celebrity restaurants. Dined here out of convenience because we were staying at the 4 seasons. I would have rather driven hours away for food we would have enjoyed. The hit or miss yelp reviews and half empty restaurant (at prime dinner time) should have been enough of a warning sign to turn around and try somewhere else; however, we decided to give it a try, I mean it's Wolfgang Puck's restaurant, it's gotta be decent right...? WRONG! Appetizer: What will be memorable about the "fameous" ahi tuna cones, is that they immediately sent my wife to the restroom ill. We have eaten a ton of ahi so far in Hawaii and this was by far the worst, I would have no problem finding fresher and better in NJ, sadly. Main course: Presentation of our dishes were nice but that's where it ends. Both dishes were extremely bland and underwhelming. My wife, who loves fine dining, actually said she'd rather go to subway for a turkey sandwich then finish her meal. As ridiculous as that sounds, I have to agree. The only complement I can give is to our server. He was friendly and knowledgable. Not his fault the food was a major disappointment. Actually the bread was very good, best part of our meal, as sad as that is. We have absolutely loved everything about the four seasons, except our experience at Spago. Please save your time and money and try one of the other restaurants at this amazing hotel. Thank you Spago (and Wolfgang Puck) for the least enjoyable meal of our honeymoon. read more

This is our fourth time to Spago. 3 times to the one in Maui and once to the one in LA. The one in Maui is located in inside the Four Seasons hotel. First time we went (2013), I gave it two stars--not a good experience at all. Second time (2015), our experience much improved--we left happy and gave it four stars. Progressively, they're getting better and better. Last night was a clear five stars! It was great. I'm pretty sure there must have been a change of management, or maybe they brought in new chefs. Why five stars? 1. We called last minute and they still got us in. 2. Not only did they get us in, we requested a table by the ocean with sunset view, and we got it. Beautiful table with a full view of ocean, facing the sunset. Even the breeze was blowing the right direction! 3. We had a waiter named Gilbert that was so great in taking care of us. He was totally into describing the food, and was very playful and entertaining. He offered to take what he called our "Christmas picture" with the sunset in the background. He escorted us to a private room next door, opened up the blinds so that we were against a huge window with the sunset behind us. Wow. Very impressed with his thoughtfulness. We were having camera issues and it was taking forever but he didn't seem to mind. My ribeye wasn't cooked enough and some waiters take it personally and give you some attitude but Gilbert was friendly and accommodating all the way through. One of the best waiters we've had in recent memory. 4. The food - everything 5/5, even the bread! BREAD BASKET (5/5) Servers come around and offer you bread by the piece. They have a Focaccia Maui Onion that is pretty heavenly. You'll need some self-control to say no to the second, and third piece. Soft, easy to spread butter comes with it, sprinkled with some Hawaiian sea salt. Delicious. SWEET BASIL RISOTTO W/SQUASH BLOSSOM (5/5) We chose this as one of our appetizers and it was really good. It was a beautiful green color, and the squash blossom in the middle was a nice touch. Perfect amount for 3 people to divide up. WALU LOCO MOCO (5/5) Walu is a Hawaiian butterfish. This appetizer is pretty small. I wish it was a bit bigger since most people share appetizers. There was a tiny quail egg on top. We cut it up three ways but in the end, it turned out to be a pretty tiny bite. It was an awesomely tasty bite, don't get me wrong. Note to the Chef: This portion is extremely undersized for being on the appetizer menu. CRAB CAKES (5/5) Only one but it was GREAT. ORGANIC FREE RANGE CHICKEN (5/5) Thanks to the Yelper who reviewed this dish by calling it, "the best chicken of my life". That really influenced my wife to order it (along with the picture on Yelp). She was supremely happy, and although I didn't hear those exact words come out of her mouth, I think it was the best chicken my wife has ever had. ONO (5/5) This portion of this dish is, in my estimation, undersized. Compared to the two other entrees that were on the table, I actually felt bad for my daughter when it arrived, although she was OK with the size because she was getting full. She loved the fish, but there was nothing on the plate to embellish it. It looked awfully plain (and small) especially next to the colossal Rib eye Steak and Roasted Chicken. BONE IN RIB EYE (5/5) Presentation is pretty fab the way they do it, They slice it for you and arrange it over a doctored-up bed of corn. I ordered it medium and it came a bit undercooked. I sent it back and it came back quickly and it was perfect. No complaints at all about the steak. I ended up picking up the bone and finishing it off. At first I did it as a joke, but when I ripped into the first bite, I couldn't put it down. Gilbert also brought a Pineapple Chutney hot sauce on the side for my steak which was right up my alley. If you appreciate spicy, ask for a special hot sauce like this when you come and I'm sure they'll have a version of this on hand. BANANA KISER PANCAKE (4/5) I don't know how to describe this dish. "Pancake" will definitely lead you in the wrong direction. It's more like a souflle. The texture is almost like a French Toast but even lighter than that. Caramelized banana sauce supplying the sweetness. HALO HALO (5/5) Loved by all at the table. Keep in mind, menu changes here EVERY NIGHT, not every week. We looked on line in our hotel room before we came down to the restaurant and even the menu from the night before was out of date! Frustrating, but really, I kind of like that. So you're getting fresh, new ideas every single day, depending on what fish are caught, what produce they find etc. My only criticism is regarding portion control. A few of the items, although tasty, were pathetically undersized and that's something that needs attention. Perfect weather + lovely sunset + awesome food = FIVE STARS. read more

My husband and I were pampered by the very polite and friendly waitstaff and enjoyed both the spectacular view and wonderful cocktails, wine and food. read more

See all

This restaurant is a complete conceit: food like P.F. Chang's (admittedly, with steak), yet at triple the price, with similar service and occasionally nice sunset views. But Maui is not really about fine dining - not for experienced foodies from the mainland, anyway - it's more about land and water adventure, and beaches. Nevertheless, the Four Seasons could have done better and the experience here doesn't do anything to enhance Wolfgang's evolving reputation as a corporate food king, rather than an attentive restaurateur. The location is fine, and there are often nice sunset views. Prices are high: appetizers up to $26 and main courses from $40 for fish to $150 for Kobe steak. While you're paying for the luxe Four Seasons location and views, prices are still 20% too high, in my view. Food is good quality, not great, and not particularly sophisticated. We ordered two fish main courses and while the filets were delicious and cooked properly, the Asian-style black bean sauces were salty and not complex. Presentation is minimally creative. Our server was too exuberant and also came off as unsophisticated. Moreover, the music played during dinner makes no sense whatsoever - 1970s to 1980s classic rock, Led Zeppelin to Billy Joel. At the start it was cute, but by the end of the main courses, it was just annoying and my companion and I left without dessert, coffee or tea, just to get away from it. It makes me ask, Wolfgang, what are you thinking? It doesn't match the demographic of the Four Seasons. How about jazz or even Europop? We complained to the manager, who simply said some people love it, others hate it, and Wolfgang loves it. Decor is uninspiring, basically plain tables placed around re-purposed Four Seasons space. Based on all the foregoing, I find the previous 5-star reviews not credible. read more

I celebrated my 25 birthday here with my girlfriend. Spago has great wine and food... Every review points that out. Here's the thing I didn't like...the restaurant charged me for birthday cookies that neither my girlfriend and I requested. That's kind of annoying. Don't bring $25 plate of cookies to the table if noone asks for them. /Fin read more
