Everything about Mama's, from the decor to the service to the amazing cuisine, is iconic. Locals and visitors consider it to be the ultimate special-occasion restaurant. The path leading up to the restaurant is lit by torches and lined with palm trees. Candles light the dining room, and most tables feature an ocean view. Appetizers include Tahitian Poisson Cru, Sashimi Salad, and Shrimp Won Tons with macadamia nut dipping sauce. The Mama's fishermen catch fish daily to offer an indulgent experience. The stuffed fish is known to be tender and flavorful. The wine list completes the dining experience with its elegant pairings.
Named "the best food and entertainment combo in Maui" by Zagat's Restaurant Survey, this lively eatery features energetic dancing and live music upcountry. The sprawling dining area with the bar at one end turns into one of Maui's hottest nightclubs after hours. A huge wooden sun-deck is great for lounging and people-watching in the daytime. The menu features a nice selection of salads (made with organic greens), wood-fired pizzas and delectable homemade pastas smothered in rich sauces and savory meats.
While the witty name is rather charming, it is a bit misleading. This place does not offer everyday cafe au lait, or anything close, but don't be disappointed. Cafe O'Lei has food critics and travel writers raving over its inexpensive, innovative food, made from fresh-as-can-be local ingredients. Sample delicacies such as Blackened Mahi-Mahi with Papaya Salsa. Vegetarians absolutely must try the grilled vegetable sandwich. The array of tempting dishes changes with the season.
This elegant spot is a wonderful choice for a romantic dinner date, a special occasion or an evening of culinary decadence. It is located in the palatial Kea Lani Resort, a Wailea landmark. The outdoor lanai is surrounded by a lush tropical garden. Specialties include Greek Maui Wowie (an innovative twist on the Greek salad) and Abalone Chicago-Style (with asparagus, shi'itake mushrooms & rock shrimp). Seafood rules the menu with everything from salmon to Mahi Mahi. The wine list is extensive indeed—more than 2000 French, California and Italian vintages are cellared on-site.

Another star in the host of Maui restaurants by Bev Gannon, the old Seawatch Restaurant has been transformed from dowdy and passable to fabulous and glorious. Located at the Wailea's Blue and Emerald Golf Courses, the setting is private and peaceful. Positioned just off the main entrance, the restaurant has modern lines with wonderful high ceilings, a large outdoor dining deck, and the views of Kahoolawe and Molokini are nothing less than hypnotic. The menu is perfection: Bev Gannon style selections include sashimi pizza, venison loin, a tandoori rack of lamb and a tasty herb gnocchi with butternut squash. - Lottie Tagupa
