At its best, Big Wave has been a moderately priced, no-frills place with generous portions of average food. In the last couple of years, the love has gone down and the portions, as well. There are now no substitutions (ever) on the specials, and if you want coffee with your $5 breakfast the bill will […]

Lulu’s is a scene, and that’s the main reason to go. The food is beside the point when the servers are this cute, there’s an eating contest, or a good local band playing. Drinks are fine, but you may have to wait a while to get yours (we notice that James is more forgiving than […]

The Cool Cat Café is a fifties-themed restaurant complete with checkerboard floor, jukebox, and pin ball machines on the top floor of the Wharf Cinema Center. There is typically a long wait to sit, but once you have a table, we find the service speedy. There is a lot of seating both inside (stuffy) and […]

China Boat and its sister restaurant, China Bowl, serve mainstream Chinese dishes. While the food is definitely “Americanized” Chinese, it is generally cooked competently. If you are from a city with top notch Chinese, you may want to go for Thai, Vietnamese, or Japanese restaurants while on Maui. If you really enjoy Americanized Chinese or […]
