Meh. It’s there, but there could be sooo much more!

Pizza Madness is filled with huge bronzed wall and ceiling sculptures of undersea creatures — turtles, squid, a huge shark — devouring slices of pizza. They made us laugh the first time we saw them, and they still delight our inner children. The exceptionally dark wooden paneling on the walls, the huge slabs of tables […]

The view from Plantation House is unlike any other on the island. The restaurant sits high above sea level in the middle of the Kapalua golf course, which rolls down to the ocean with sky-high, ramrod-straight ironwood trees marching down the volcano beside it. You can see Molokai’s dramatic shape rising out of the Pacific, […]

This be-bop diner at Queen Kaahumanu Mall is the go-to place for kids of all ages. The big burgers wrapped in paper so they don’t spill, the thick milkshakes, the reasonably good fries and onion rings, and the clean, red-boothed restaurant bring in crowds from open to close. If it’s your birthday, don’t tell them […]

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 […]
