Even though it’s hidden up at the top of Lahaina’s industrial park, this tiny dining room is often packed for lunch and dinner. The hip, metropolitan ambience and the fresh, reasonably-priced cuisine attract plenty of locals, including us. The kitchen staff took a research trip to New York City before crafting their menu, and they […]

Cane and Taro is D.K. Kodama’s newest restaurant in a renovated, prime Ka’anapali location. His success with Sansei, Vino (closed now) and his Oahu restaurants The Counter and d.k. Steakhouse suggests that this restaurant should be a slam-dunk, but in our experience it’s not up to par with its siblings. Still, the location is hard […]

Capische? is one of a handful of Maui restaurants that could compete in the fiercely competitive markets of San Francisco, New York, Chicago, or D.C., and we deeply appreciate them for running their business as if every meal — and every diner — counts. It remains our favorite place on Maui for a romantic, no-holds […]

As mentioned in the Introduction, Sarento’s inspired us to write this book in the first place. The Italian menu is focused on providing important sounding and expensive ingredients in flamboyant preparations that don’t always work as well as they should (especially at these prices). There are some items that are well-prepared, including a decent cioppino […]

Mala Ocean Tavern is one of our favorite restaurants because it serves fantastic food in a lively, casual restaurant smack dab on the water. We don’t come here when we want an intimate, romantic meal — the tables are so close you’re likely to find out a lot about your neighbors — but when we […]
