Shaka is an East Coast-style pizzeria, and it wins lots of local awards … but keep in mind that pizza is not indigenous to Maui. The crust is okay, but the tomato sauce is lacking the complexity we want in really good pizza, where the sauce is the star of the show. You’ll do better […]

We can’t help but like Tiki Lounge, the open-air, thatchroofed bar in Kalama Village. The food (sandwiches, hot dogs, nachos) is average, but the drinks are generally good, and it’s got a fun, relaxed vibe that just works, and has for a while. Live music, surfing videos projected on a giant screen … it’s a […]

Stella Blues serves American comfort food in a fading Grateful Dead-inspired restaurant. The large, noisy rooms, outdoor seating, pool tables, and commodious concrete bar keep its fans coming back, and back, and back. Sadly, the heart seems to have gone out of this formerly fabulous, friendly restaurant. We used to look forward to coconut shrimp […]
