I honestly do not get what the fuss is all about. The food was pretty good, but the service was meh. My wife and I decided to splurge on our last dinner on Maui, so we fully expected the menu to be exorbitantly overpriced. If you are ordering wine or any other adult libation, be fully prepared to drop more than $100 a person. I suppose you could justify the plate costs based on the use of premium local ingredients. It's not every day that I get to have opakapaka, but I still prefer my Dad's much simpler steamed preparation. My wife's seafood Thai red curry was delicious; the delicate fish flavors were not lost in the heat of the nicely developed curry. It was curious that they chose to make the dish so spicy though. My ability to enjoy the meal was greatly hindered by the spotty service. We waited about 40 minutes for our appetizers to come out, all the while the larger party seated behind us received frequent attention. When the entrees came out, I was brought the wrong dish (which also happened to be cold). While we were having our coffee at 9:30 or so, the dining room was filled with the clanging of silverware being put away, then of tables being carried out and moved around. I don't expect 5-star service, but if you're going to put on the dog and pony show, you better execute it. Overall, this was not a worthwhile experience... I could have had 80 spam musubis instead. read more

What to say about Spago... Hummm.. 3 stars for the food. 4 stars for the service. For starters, Spago brings with it expectations. Because there is no way out of here under $100 per person, you really are expecting the best. It's like an over hyped movie. Take Bridesmaids for example. Everyone is talking about how funny it is when the bride takes a crap in the street after eating bad Indian food. When you finally see it for yourself you can't help thinking, Yeah that was funny.. But not as funny as I thought it would be. My favorite part about the meal was the bread. They have amazing bread and the bread lady knew my name by the time the meal was over because I kept asking her to bring me more. At Spago Im sure its unusual for people to gorge themselves on bread but I didn't care. I can't help it, I blame the Italian in me. It's freshly baked and there are several different kinds so I was thrilled. The butter also has pink sea salt that tastes great on the bread. I could really go on and on about this bread. We also ordered a bottle of expensive wine which was delicious after we asked for a decanter. The famous tuna cones were good but for $33 for 4 small cones it just was not worth it. You can get great fresh tuna at a number of places on the island that are just as tasty. My friend got the pork chop which she devoured but my curry was way too sweet with no taste of fish to be found. I couldn't eat it. Dessert was really good. We had the lava cake which just oozed with chocolate goodness. Service was stellar which made me ok with the half eaten meal. The view also didn't hurt. read more

Amazing meal. Every dish was a winner. The crabcake starter was a favorite among the 5 guests who ordered it. My father's mon chong, he said the best fish he has ever had, (and my sister exclaimed, "and wow, you're old!"). I had a very rich lamb chop main course. My Hubby's curry seafood dish was too spicy for his taste, but still good. Our table ended the night sampling every single dessert on the menu. Nuts? Yes. But it was amazing. My favorite was the coffee cheesecake, while my mother's was the banana crepe. We had to take the cookies home, (not exactly a bad thing). Jonathan and Jacques made the night special. read more

Don't get me wrong, the flavors and quality of every dish my husband and I had at Spago was excellent. But the portions were tiny and frankly overpriced. I say this having dined at several of Maui's most expensive restaurants over the past few nights- all excellent, pricy, and leaving me feeling like I just enjoyed myself. Spago, on the other hand, made me feel like I should've taken a cue from the lady at the table behind us and hoarded bread piece by tiny piece every time they came around. Ultimately, you have so many more memorable and distinctive options on this lovely island, and I would recommend you take them. read more

Our meal and the setting as absolutely perfect. We are big fans of all Wolfgang establishments but to have access to the perfect wagyu sirloin cooked to perfection with maui onions and Yukon purée is heaven. Tonight's special was a Omaha snapper served Chinese style and the pasta taglietti had the perfect combination of glaciers. The ahi cones were a little sweeter than I remember in the shell and the spicy tuna was delicious. Set in the four seasons maui hotel it is a beautiful setting. Service is fabulous as you would expect read more

Dang, I just read Rita L.'s tip about buy one get one free entrees. Wish I knew that when we ate there last week! Oh well... Dear Wolfgang, What have you done? Or maybe what HAVEN'T you done? We ate here a while back and thoroughly enjoyed the fresh pasta -- it was your specialty! But now, all you serve is angel hair. Boo on you. Sincerely, Kanoelani C. P.S. We loved the Kula Sweet Corn Risotto so much that we gave you four stars anyway... read more

The restaurant lounge is very Vegas. Nothing Maui about it. We should have turned around there but we had our buzz on....so we decided to do some bling watching in the bar. There was a lot of pretentious postering to behold and the "I just LOVE SPAAAAAAGO" to be heard. We decided to be luxurious and get a table. The "experience" began by being seated side-by-side staring at another table. Very odd but funny, especially in our state. Our server was a very very serious German man (Lurch-like...). The giggles stopped when the food arrived. It was well executed but safe and nothing progressive. We left feeling robbed and dumbfounded. It could be the perfect SNL skit. This is a celebrity chef that sells his mediocre canned soup at the grocery store. What was I thinking. Go to Duo or Ferraro's instead! read more

This was my worst dining experience of the two weeks that I was in Hawaii. Yes, the food at the luau we went to was better and I'm not a fan of buffets. We made reservations months before so that we could have a good view of the sunset. They told us that we would be assigned a table when we get there so we made 5:30 reservations and got there early as we were told so we could get the best table. They weren't seating yet so a waitress asked us for cocktails. I ordered a beer and she asked for ID. Now, I normally feel good when I get asked for ID but I was a hotel guest for a couple days and I didn't need my ID once. I was 29 at the time, 6'6" and 250 pounds; I don't get confused for a 21 year old. That night I left everything in the room because we just charge the meal to the room. The waitress made me go back to my room to get my id which took 15 minutes because the property is large. I don't mind that because she is just doing her job but by the time i got back, people were seated and we didn't get the "best" table. We didn't even get one of the first tables by the sunset. I said something to the hostess and she said she didn't realize and that she was sorry. There were only like 7 couples there at that time; its not paying attention to details like this that drive me crazy. On top of that, we were rushed out of there so we saw the sunset on the beach. We started with a Kobe Beef bolognese which I thought was weird for an app but I can't turn down anything with Kobe beef. Well now I realize there is no reason to put Kobe beef in this dish..just a waste of money. I posted a pic of this dish, it was very very oily and I think this is what gave me a stomachache that night. For dinner we had Monchong and filet. This was the third time I had monchong on the trip; it was delicious the last two times but it was horrible at Spago. Way too dry. I even had monchong at a local dive in Kauai for a third of the price and that restaurant blew Spago away. The filet was nothing special. I loved my time at Four Seasons but the food there was nothing special and Spago is part of the problem. read more

I never give bad reviews, but I was so upset after our experience at Spago. Seeing as it's situated at the Four Seasons hotel, I was expecting an incredible meal. We were celebrating an anniversary, and we got all excited to be dressed up for a night of fancy dinner and drinks! We made a 5:00 PM reservation (very early, there was no one there yet) and were promptly seated at... the worst table in the house. The few people that were there were all seated on the balcony, enjoying ocean and pool views, while we were seated in the sun away from any views/windows. We asked to be moved outside to the patio, but the hostess was unable to accommodate us. After a few minutes sitting in the bright sun, we asked to be moved again, and then we were promptly left alone for 5-10 minutes with no apologies, water, or information on whether we were going to be moved. After we decided to get up and leave, and were walking out of the restaurant (upset and embarrassed, our special night ruined) then someone finally jogged up to us halfway through the restaurant to offer us a table on the patio while being completely demeaning ("if that would make you happy"). At that point we decided to just leave, we'd already decided to take our special night elsewhere. We had such a wonderful experience at Ferraro's in 2018 that I was SO disappointed. We will never return. read more

I decided to begin this review like I guarantee you no one else has ever done. My dad has this odd fascination, uber weird obsession, with the tiny cappuccino spoons or any other really small spoon that a restaurant has and has built up a nice collection of them, I think about 50 or so. Sometimes he flat out tells the waiter hes going to take it and other times he just gets me to do his dirty work or he just does it on his own. after 24 years of life I still don't understand why he does it, but hes got this collection in his office that keeps growing and growing with each meal and honetsly some of them are pretty bad ass. So this brings me to our dinner at Spago, which was amazing and a real blast, on their tables they have a little small bowl with salt in it and the spoon in that bowl is this real tiny one with a pointed edge to get the salt up easier...I would say its about as big as a pen cap. So the moment we sat down my mom noticed the spoon and turned her head to my dad and without missing a beat he said I'm not going to take it so don't worry, they he looked over to my sister and I and winked...ya cause we know he was going to resist this primo spoon haha. So as the meal went on we order out drinks and main courses and the spoon just sat there waiting and temping my dad saying "don't you want to take me" and so on. When the waiter returned to ask our desert orders my dad flat out asked him if he could take the spoon, I knew he would it was just a matter of time before he either took it or asked...I mean for anyone who was there they can attest it was a pretty cool looking one. So he asked, or I guess you could say told, the waiter he was going to take the spoon and the waiter played along and said sure, not knowing my dad was actually going to take it. My mom had this look on her face that was like omg I can't just believe you did that! My sister chimed in and said to our waiter that my dad was serious, and the waiter responded with the fact the spoon was made of sterling silver and this super tiny spoon was about $30, almost bordering on grand theft!! The waiter looked at my dad again, and I knew there was on way he was leaving without this one, it was just a matter of time and how he was going to take it. So when the waiter returned my dad said a bird fly by and grabbed it when he was at the bathroom, the waiter winked at him and said sure he did, and then said hey if it's gone there's nothing I can do and patted my dad on the back. THE BEST WAITER EVER! Now as for the food, I mean there's really not much that can be said beyond the fact it is amazing and the quality they use is second to none. I had the ahi tuna cones for my app and it was a real cool idea (kind of like an ahi tuna ice cream cone) but the fish you know was right from the ocean and the little hints of chili oil and cucumber and avocado where just the perfect pairing. For my main course I had the strip steak, and I kid you not the crust they put on this steak looks like they burnt it to a crisp, but then you bite into it and you realize it's the kick ass dry rub and the inside of the steak was a perfect juicy med rare. It was hands down one of the best steaks that I have ever had, and to top it off they cut it for you lol. The waiter we had and the rest of the wait staff were incredible and super attentive, and really made the experience over the top and we plan on going there again when we go back to Maui in December. read more

Spago - Asian Fusion Near Me - Maui, Hawaii

The menu here is ambitious... but given the high high prices, the food and eating disappoint. A little less complexity and a little more careful preparation and focus on the principal ingredients (the meat or fish or whatever) not on the complex spices or add ons. Also, it mist be said, the service is poor. The hostess who greeted us acknopwledged we had reservation but blandly said we could not be seated anytime soon, unless we were willing to take a lonely table in the totally empty yet painfully loud (cranking music) bar. Everyone who dines here expects to sit outside on the fabulous patio. As did we. The hostess even acknowledged our reservation was for the patio. But if we wanted to dine anytime within more than an hour, too bad, she didnt seem to care we had a reservation. Maybe it was just us being near that awful empty bar, but no servers paid us any meaningful attention and when servers did stop by they were in a hurry -- so many tables needing attention out on the patio, i suppose The final indignity was the check -- not a cocktail not a side dish, not a dessert was offered or comped to apologize for our horrible inconvenience - but then again that would have meant apologizing, which literally no one did, not once. If I'm going to spend a fortune, it would be helpful to at least have exquisite food and not be insulted. Too much to ask at this particularly unpleasant Spago. read more

Oh Spago. Thank you. We had a wonderful experience. The view is amazing and Spago is truly a special place. I recommend that when you make a reservation, you request an outdoor seat with a view. They had about 5 or so tables for two that were just perfect and romantic...overlooking the pool area and ocean from high above the Four Seasons resort. On to the food...we had been drooling over the Spicy Ahi Tuna in Sesame Miso Cones all week! There were photos in so many of the local dining magazines, we couldn't wait to try them, and they didn't disappoint. Yum. The bread tray offers tons of tasty goodness too. I highly recommend the Maui Onion Foccacia...I could eat that all day and haven't stopped thinking about it. For the entrees, my husband had the Mahi-Mahi and I had the Monchong fish...both were excellent and we didn't leave a morsel behind. For dessert we had the only chocolate option they had, which was like a chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Also very good, but there were a ton of great and unique options if you don't want the standard chocolate. We wanted coffee with dessert and they offered a few different options which are presented in mini french presses. However, they're $10. each. Seriously? $10.00 for coffee? We ended up splitting it after inquiring to the size and it ended up being enough for just 2 cups exactly, so I recommend doing that because $10pp for coffee is a little ridiculous! All in all, I definitely recommend Spago and when we return to Maui we'll be back. For fine dining options on the island, my #1 recommendation is Capische, with Spago a fabulous #2! A menu with prices (since one isn't to be found online) can be found in the menu case along the beach side path (the one closest to the Grand Wailea) if you want to check it out once you arrive. (The case on the other side of the resort didn't have Spago prices). To give you an idea though, since that is always a major factor: Ahi Tuna Cones ($25 includes 3, although they may offer you 4 cones so it is better to split, which will come to $33.25!) Entrees were in the $45 range, dessert was $14 and wine by the glass from $12 each. And worth it! You can also make reservations via OpenTable! read more

The food is truly delicious, and I would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for how small my main was. I ordered Ahi Tuna. Probably the best I have ever had in terms of taste, but it was an appetizer size portion rather than a main. At that price point I would expect my main course to fill me up, not the (still very good) bread. My wife got the pork chops, bigger portion and very tasty. Overall, impeccable service, beautiful view of Wailea bay (great to enjoy the sunset), and very delicious food. The 4 seasons is the most lively hotel in the area. Enjoy some live music and after dinner drink on the veranda! read more

Awful experience. We are thankful that the Morimoto restaurant at the Andaz hotel saved the evening. On August 7th, we made reservations for 15 people for November 27th to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We visited the restaurant in early October to confrim the reservation and select the location of our table. We were assured everything was in order. When we arrived, we were told our table was occupied and we would need to wait 10 minutes. After 45 minutes, the receptionist told us our "table" was ready. They escorted us to two tables located in different locations of the restuarant. We insisted that we be seated at a single table. The receptionist then told us that they never agree to reservations for a party of 15 without a minimum guaranteed. They then offered to bring us appetizers while we continue to wait for a single table to become available. It was now about 10 pm and we had several children. During Labor Day weekend, we had dinner at Spago in Beverly Hills and visited with Wolfgang Puck. He told us he would be in the Maui Spago over the Thanksgiving weekend and to look him up. So, I requested to speak to Wolfgang, who was visiting with many of the partrons. Wolfgang confirmed that the receptionist was not being truthful when he said they wouldn't confirm reservations for 15 at one table. Wolfgang stated "we don't make money by makeing patrons unhappy." But no solution was provided. We told Wolfgang that we would celebrate our 25th anniversary at a different restaurant. Wolfgang said he would "write us a note." Well, more than 6 weeks later, we haven't heard from Wolfgang or anyone else at Spago. We have dined at Spago restaurants for more than 20 years. We will never visit one of Wolfgang's restaurants ever again. Again, we appreciate Iron Chef Morimoto who made our dinner at his restaurant very special. read more

Ah, the Four Seasons. I don't think I can ever stay at a non-AAA five star hotel ever again. From the moment we opened our car door at the valet to the time we checked into our room, the Four Seasons set the standard by which all luxury resorts should aspire. It is freaking fantastic. So, it is only fitting that the restaurants at the Four Seasons follow the hotel's high standards. During our second night at the resort, the guy and I booked Spago for an early dinner, mainly because we wanted to catch the spectacular sunset from Spago's open air deck, and second, we were tired of late night room service. We had a prime table on the deck, overlooking the hotel's lavash pool area. Our server (wish I could remember his name) was really knowledgeable and pretty funny. Drinks came in the form of a ginger pineapple mojito for me, and a glass of Torrontes for the guy. Both were perfect way to cap off a hot day laying out at the beach: crisp, light, and refreshing. I loved how Spago presents their bread basket. They have a server walking around with a basket with an assortment of breads, from sweet onion rolls (my favorite) to sourdough bread to parmesean crisps and olive bread. I love carbs. For my entree, I ordered the Ahi: it melted in my mouth. This is what a culinary boner must feel like: AMAZING! I think I just drooled a little reliving the ahi experience. The guy ordered the roasted chicken, which was standard fare, but the mashed potatoes were very memorable. They reminded me of the whipped mashed potatoes my mom used to make for me in the food processor when I was a kid, whipped with a bit of cheese. I actually really enjoyed the simplicity of the dish. This was my second favorite meal in Maui, only trumped by an amazing banana macadamian nut pancake I had at Marco's. Hey, that pancake is really THAT good! read more

A group of us tried out their Turkey day spread and were not impressed. Ok so this was being advertised as a standard turkey dinner with all the fixin's. I am afraid to say it was just average. The plate was pretty cold and the plates were not uniformed some had more gravy others had less some had more potatos some had less. Overall this was completely MEH! The service was good but not great the waiter talked to much and we became bored with his banter. He did comp as a seafood risotto but again it was not that good it was again very average. Basically spago's is an overpriced tourist trap that is in no way a place for fine cuisine. read more

I know this is an insane statement but we only went to Spago because Duo had no availability. Spago is the type of restaurant where you have a long leisurely meal. Its more about the total experience. We started off with drinks and an amuse bouche of pea soup that was quite tasty. Also offered were a variety of breads, I tasted a spicy lavash that I loved and a nice olive bread. I had to order the Ahi Poke cones as it was their specialty but I rated this as just "ok". The crunchy exterior was so much more than the amount of ahi interior that I tasted more of the sesame miso cone than I did ahi. My hubby on the other hand LOVED this dish. He could have probably eaten another full order of it. My friend ordered the beet salad which she rated as just okay. It was quite large. My husband order the ahi for his main course which he said was delicious he just wished it had a little wasabi for a kick. I had the monchong that was cooked perfectly. For dessert our whole table ordered and shared various items the favorite was the chocolate malted semi freddo. It was rich and delicious. The server is where I took a star off. There was the main waitress and her assitant. Her assitant was just as knowledgeable and answered all our questions, she was warm, funny, informative and genuine. Our main waitress was over the top fake pretentious and not genuine. We had a simple question about what ingredients or item was at the bottom of the semi freddo and she went into a long spiel on how she never met a semi freddo she liked until she worked at Spago and on and on and yet...our question was never answered. Overall it was a good eating experience but I still prefer Duo. read more

We're on a work trip (or rather, my fiance's work trip) and call with reservations for 10. I understand that we've changed the number like 17 times, but it took quite a while to be seated. We did get comped the bar bill (worth a lot for sure!) while waiting. Once we were seated, we got complimentary sides of bread, salad, pizza, and seafood risotto for the table. I was full after that and should have just gone home for sure! We all ordered our meals which took a while to come and continuously drank wine during the waiting. The staff was nice, attentive, and knowledgeable. They were very aware of my nut allergy which was so nice. Makes me feel comfortable eating for once! Overall, I think most people were happy with their meals. I had the chicken which was probably my fault - hello Hawaii.... seafood?! Anyway, would definitely go give it another try, but only if you have a few hundo to blow... this place is not cheap! read more

Reservation was at 6pm, to catch the sunset. Walked in with no expectations, and sat at the best table of this place, with a 180 degree view of the ocean, beach and the resort! Absolutely spectacular! Our waiter was very energetic, charismatic and attentive. The food was on point and delicious. My Hawaiian Monchong was a super tasty dish and my wife's Atlantic Salmon Hong-Kong style was also full of delicate flavors cooked perfectly. The ingredients were so fresh and multi dimensionally layered! The menu seemed pretty focused and the wine list was well rounded. Not overly pricey in my opinion. This is one beautiful open air restaurant! read more

Here is the report card on this visit to Spago. UPCOUNTRY GREENS WITH ROASTED BEETS AND HEARTS OF PALM Sweet Tomatoes, Island Goat-Feta, Maui Onions and Balsamic Vinaigrette = ( B- ) 8oz "WAGYU /ANGUS" NEW YORK SIRLOIN - Not so good - ( D- ) It came to the table cold as cold can be. How does this happen? I'll tell you...too busy not enough staff on hand and a totally clueless manager walking around doing nothing both of our NY's sat and sat and sat while we poured our own wine and waited for water refills. Once we flagged down the female manager and told he the situation, she made a rude comment of " I guess I can throw it back on the grill and make it more to your liking". More to my liking?? I thought to myself...It was as cold for goodness sakes, is it supposed it be? She came back a few minutes later and said she heated it up, it was warmer but not hot like it should be, we just ate it and got the hell out of there. No apologies. I must mention the server was very polite and a fine gentlemen. He is not at fault, the manager on duty was. No support system was there. The next morning I woke up and under the hotel room door at the four seasons was a pre-written form letter, with no specifics about my experience, they had simply added my name to it. It said if I had further issues with my dining experience to contact the GM of the restaurant and they are sorry for ??. That was totally lame and made the poor experience even worse, that was a tacky reminder how they flubbed my experience and had nothing to offer. They should have just removed the steaks from the bill as they were not edible the first time they came out. I was not impressed, but I will perhaps give another try next time to see if they are better than the night I was there. Views are fantastic read more

Outstanding in everything and always a wonderful evening The food is above excellent and views and service are simply perfect

I'm certainly no stranger to pricey restaurants -- and obviously I'm aware that "island pricing" is always a factor in Hawaii -- but I don't think I've seen menu prices *this* high anywhere outside of the realm of high-end Manhattan restaurants. If I'm paying close to $30 for a freakin' *appetizer* and $42 for freakin *chicken*, I expect both the food and service to be as close to perfect as it gets. Unfortunately, neither appears to be the case here. On a recent outing, we first had to wait 20 minutes for a table -- despite having a reservation. After ordering, we had to wait over 30 minutes for our entrees to arrive (at these prices, we decided to forgo apps). *No* excuse for that considering we were dining comparatively late in the evening. Finally, our entrees tasted great but were served at temperatures too hot to eat. No bueno. All of the above would be totally forgivable at a place with prices about 50% less than Spago's, and I'd be giving it four, or possibly, five stars otherwise. But not at these prices, and not with so many other excellent eateries within a ten-minute drive. (Speaking of driving, at least the valet parking was free.) read more

What a lovely experience we had! I've been to most of the other Spago's and this was my favorite for sure. My bf and I had a table that overlooked the resort and beach on the side, and the ocean in front of us. We had a superb meal and great wine, and our server was so sweet. Everything was great! read more

My Old Job - so maybe I am a little biases. The room is beautiful. How I miss getting to gaze out at the sunset everyday at work. The flash cocktail with the muddled raspberry is so yummy and possibly the best steak on the island. A little hidden secret, they have Kamaaina night every night. 2 for 1 entree with 2 valid HI Driver licenses. So now your honey has no excuse not to bring you. read more

This was the best dining experience on Maui - awesome service, beautiful resort, our server David was attentive and friendly, the food was super fresh - I am super gluten intolerant and dairy intolerant and they had gf beer!

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner after hearing about their awesome $49 three course prix fixed menu. You can take advantage of this offer by making reservations to be seated before 6PM, and honestly, I wouldn't pay more than that to eat here. Spago sits on the second floor of the Four Seasons overlooking Wailea Beach, and while the sunset was indescribably beautiful, the food was just decent. Maybe they are trying to channel the indulgence of Maui, but I felt the meal lacked balance. The appetizer course, a tomato bisque, was too rich and the portion was too large. My onaga was okay, but I would have much preferred my boyfriend's mahimahi. In fact, I think I devoured a good portion of his fish ^_^ Seriously, don't think to yourself, "Oh let's get different dishes so we can try different things." NO! If you're getting the $49 prix fixe menu, get the darn mahimahi or you will be disappoint, son. Dessert was just a chocolate cake. For Spago, I expected something a little more creative and exciting... Maybe I should have ordered the caramelized pork chops everyone is raving about, but the prix fixe menu was too good to miss out on. read more

Just dined here tonight at 5:30pm and sat at an indoor table with a view of the sunset. I highly recommend sitting outside if it's not too windy (it was very windy today so we chose indoors) and make reservations since the balcony was packed by the time we left (around 8pm).The decor in this restaurant as well as the Four Seasons Hotel itself is gorgeous. The lounge when you enter the restuarant is very nice, a perfect place to grab some drinks while waiting for your table. Valet parking is free as well which is always a plus! Pina Colada: You could barely taste the alcohol in this drink and it was nice and creamy which I really liked. It comes with a slice of pineapple as well as a flower. It's not too sweet which was nice since I was able to sip on it during my whole dinner and didn't make me super full. Ahi Tuna Cones: I ordered this since many people on Yelp were raving about how amazing it was. It came with three small cones which were made of sesame seeds and something sweet. Not sure what they used to make the cones out of. The poke itself was standard. There were a ton of other tables that ordered this dish so if you're into poke, it would be a nice appetizer to share. Be aware that the cones are very small, probably only 3-4 bites per cone. Coconut Red Curry: I also ordered this since it seemed very popular on Yelp. It has a variety of veggies in it which I really like. I'm used to the typical bamboo shoots, basil, and red peppers in my red curry so this was an interesting change. It had some shiitake mushrooms, green papaya, fish, eggplant, and some other vegetables. If you like red curry this would be a good choice since it still has that coconut and spicy curry flavor but with a twist when it comes to the veggies. Passionfruit Merenge Pie: This was my favorite dish for dinner! If you're looking for a yummy, fruity dessert and are not interested in the chocolate lava cake which is very popular here, this is a great alternative. The merenge on top is very soft and fluffy and the berry compote that it comes with is not too sweet. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this if you have room for dessert. I also would recommend ordering some hot tea or coffee with this dessert since it can get a little sweet. I recommend any of the fruity herbal teas which you get a variety to choose from! Kona Coffee Ice Cream: This comes in a crispy wafer-like bowl with about 2-3 scoops of ice cream. It also had a strawberry on top which was a nice touch. On the bottom of the bowl is caramel and chocolate syrup which is nice to dip the ice cream into. The ice cream itself isn't too sweet and is perfect for sharing with 2-3 people. Overall I really liked this place because of the gorgeous sunset we were able to watch on our last night in Hawaii. This would also be a great place for a date since it's not too loud and the tables are pretty spread apart. A reason why I took off one star is because of the price. My curry was $42 dollars without the tax.....was it worth it?? I didn't think so. But if you have some $$ to blow and want to watch the beautiful Hawaiian sunset, it might be worth it for you. read more

Had a lovely dinner there last night with my husband. One thing that bothered us was how salty the dishes were but overall the experience was good. Why 4 and not 5 stars? Hostess was rude to us upon arrival , although we had made reservations for a table with a sunset view we were seated in back and when confronted she gave us a very annoyed attitude but finally moved us.( whatever....) when we asked the waiter why the food was so salty,we were told that was bc of the "Italian nature "of the dish/es we ordered the chef uses a lot of salt,really?!! Came here the second night and enjoyed an amazing dinner again and the service was just fab!! Upgraded to well deserved 5 stars . Worth the money spent . read more

Had a reservation and when we got there they said it would be two hours wait because a party of fourteen had a contract to take up tables. Nothing they could do because they had a contract. read more

Wow! Spago! After years of my husband begging to go here I finally gave in during our vacation in Maui. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. We made reservations and were seated right away (after a snide comment from the door man/ wine "manager", named drew, but I'm trying to over look this). After being seated our waiter, Jebadi, came over after a few minutes and walked us through the menu. He made us feel at home and allowed us to take our time in ordering drinks and food. For drinks we decided on martinis ($15 each) instead of wine. Great choice since the atmosphere in spago is modern and upscale with music like the stones and police playing in the background. Then, taking our servers advice, we started with the tomato salad with aged balsamic vinaigrette and goat cheese. We split it and it did not disappoint. ($25) A great feature of Spago is the bread service. Someone comes around with a tray of 6 different breads during the appetizer and entree courses bringing fresh bread. And don't be afraid to ask for more than one slice at a time. My husband did and the bread man loved it! Entrees: Ahi sashimi grade tuna with wasabi/potato purée. Husband and i loved it. ($44) Red curry with mahimahi, shrimp, and some other fish? With mango and mushroom. Probably one of the better curry's I've ever had. Served with three sides of sauce and brown and white rice. Didn't need any of the rice or extra flavorings. The fish portions were big enough and the curry was exploding with flavor. ($45) We had to skip dessert b/c I was too full. But each dessert was listed at only $14, not as high as I would have thought. I must say I was impressed with the wait staff, food and over all experience of spago. I was initially afraid of the prices however we spent more money at mamas fish house and had no where near the food quality or atmosphere at mamas as we did at Spago. My vote: Spago over mamas any day. read more

Decent meal. Not quite up to the standards we're used to at other Four Seasons hotels but it was ok. One pet peeve I have about wine service. If the menu shows a bottle of 2001 and you bring me a 2003, at the very least you should politely share that information with me before delivering the wrong year. I also feel that if its a younger or lower quality vintage, you should offer to reduce the price. One last thing... A restaurant should change the wine list as soon as they run out of a vintage as quickly as possible. I would bet money that if I go back to this restaurant in two months, the menu will still reflect the discontinued vintage. I hope that not only this restaurant but all restaurants change this practice, as it is wrong. Special Features: Good for Groups, Great for Outdoor Dining, Scenic View, Hot Spot read more

Hands down the best restaurant in Wailea. We've been coming to the GW next door for 20+ years and just discovered Spago last year. This was our second visit and to our excitement we had the same server as last year, Jeb. Jeb is perhaps the best server we've ever had...honest, reliable and good to talk too. Jeb alone would bring us back, but that's not all! Food is fantastic! Last year I had the Chinois Rack of Lamb which I still remember and this year I went for the swordfish. Now I'm not the biggest fan of swordfish because of the texture but this one was excellent! Finally the views are amazing! You get a wonderful sunset every night! We will continue to come back and hope we get Jeb! read more

We went here for my birthday and it was very well done. Good job guys with your service and food. I enjoyed the outdoor seating overlooking the pool and took our time to enjoy the rest of the evening. Waiter knew exactly when to check on us and asked the right kind of questions. Should have gotten his name to post on here to give him some 'bonus'. Enjoyed the creativity of the dish layout and more importantly the taste was superb. I had Tuna and my wife had salmon. Sorry for not providing accurate 'dish' name. I made a vowed to myself to start yelping more often because I enjoy using Yelp to find the 'best' choice restuarants. read more

Service is great and the experience is what you should expect at this price point. Food was savory throughout and the Bourbon selection did not disappoint. Get whatever your server recommends. Outstanding. read more

Main reason I'm posting a review is to mention that (1) this is kid-friendly despite what yelp says in its summary. They have high chairs and a keiki (kids) menu. Also, yelp says attire is "dressy" but decent resort attire is fine. Anyway... Fantastic meal. First time back in 5 years and could hardly wait for the poke cones again. Mmm mmm. Ahi sashimi was also great - and I'm no stranger to Ahi or sashimi. I actually had the crab crusted mahi mahi this time. The menu was a bit sparse tonight for local fish - and we got there early (5:30p when they open - early works better for my 1 yr old). Service wasn't impeccable but definitely very good. They forgot my coffee with dessert and it came late. The receipt showed they comp'ed some soups that we never ordered or received. whatever. read more

Mid-way through dinner I asked my husband: " Imagine if we found a place that made the same effort for every course that we do when we host a dinner party?" That's what I felt like here. Excellent, every step of the way, from the bartender, hostess, backwaiter, server, to the food, view, and ambiance. Apps: Ahi cones (sesame, spicy, creamy) and lettuce cups (warm crunchy fish, cool crispy lettuce) - Bread: maui onion foccacia and calamata bread Dinner: seared scallops with baby bok choy and asparagus, and red curry with shrimp, fish, and a little crack. I haven't had food this good while dining out since I was in New Orleans. Seriously. Unfortunately, unlike heroin, the first time was NOT free- it was $125/person (includes 4 drinks and dessert) - but I'm still going back tonight!! read more

Food and Service as to be expected.....excellent. I want to specifically mention Jeb, our waiter, he could not have been more attentive or knowledgable. The meal from beginning to end was exceptional. The ONLY comment other than positive to make is the "special cookies" on the menu for dessert at the Holiday season need to be removed. I have dined here many times and had never had a bad experience with food or a recommendation. These were absolutely awful, not what I would ever expect Spago to have on the menu, especially at $18! read more

Overview: Great restaurant at the Four Seasons in Wailea overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean. The decor is modern yet comfortable and although there were a lot of diners inside the restaurant, the noise level remained at a moderate level. I was pleasantly surprised at our experience here. In all the times we've visited Maui, my husband refused to dine here because of his multiple poor experiences at the Spago in Palo Alto, CA. Even he was pleasantly surprised and we've added this to our dining rotation in Maui! Food: Tomato Salad: A different version of caprese. Ripe tomatoes were served with room temperature, soft goat cheese. Very good. Lamb Chops: This was my husband's order... I snuck a bite and it was just delicious! I don't think he touched anything else on his plate. The lamb was all he needed. Chicken: I can't remember what they called this but it was simple and delicious. The dish included the breast and thigh - skin on (yum!). This was seared perfectly and the skin was crispy and the meat was moist and juicy. The sauce was amazing as were the mushrooms in the sauce. I loved it. Truffle Chocolate Cake: Basically a lava cake. It was yummy! Served along side was delicious coffee ice cream. I ate almost the entire thing by myself. Hey, I was on vacation :-) Service: Impeccable. Very professional, courteous, polite and on top of things. Bread: So good! There were like 5 choices. I chose the rosemary bread and the foccacia with grilled onions. Man, that was so darn tasty. Plus they served butter with a sprinkling of pink Hawaiian salt. So good! Wine: Good selection. Also a full bar available. read more

It's our first time trying Spago's in Maui. We started out with Cauliflower soup which was compliments of the chef. The soup was amazing! We had the ahi tuna poke cones...it was delicious with a kick! I definitely recommend the Thai curry seafood, it was spicy and very tasty! Service, food and atmosphere was amazing! I highly recommend to try!!! read more

I'll get to the point - the food was exquisite, the service from Peter on matching wine with food greatly enhanced the food and fun, and the attention on our children also greatly appreciated. 5/5 easily. We dined here on the 13th July 2014, a guest of the neighbouring Grand Wailea hotel. Reservations made online through their website. We were seated at 5:45 (early dinner due to three young children), and outside on the picturesque deck. It was pretty breezy wind, but apart from a flying kids crayon picture, no problems. Our waiter, Peter, went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. His advice on matching wines to meals was superb. His staff were efficient on bread, napkin, water and other duties. I had the ahi tuna ceviche which was outstanding. My rib eye steak was gloriously cooked medium rare and was likewise excellent. My wife had the corn risotto, which she said was the best she ever had, followed by the duck which she also loved. I had the cheese for dessert, and my boy which turned 5 got a nice small cake with chocolate writing on the plate wishing him a happy birthday. Just great! But here's the best part of all, the children's meals were also epic. This is not a restaurant that diminishes the experience of children, it has smaller and less fussy meals, but their steak was just a smaller serving of mine! Don't be afraid to bring your children here because they are welcome and will be fussed over. And they will love the food. One minor hiccup, a mixup in the kitchen meant children got served 10 mins after my wife and I, but the Spago team went out of their way to put things right by offering my wife and I an extra "tasting" of a dish with their complements. I loved our night out at Spago, and will gladly return the next time we come to Maui. read more
