Despite our reluctance to eat in a clothing shop chain, we always have a great time at Tommy Bahama’s, and it’s one of our favorite Happy Hour places in South Maui. Tommy’s menu is filled with hyperbole (every item reads like the most extravagant, to-die-for dish you could ever hope to eat) and Wailea’s characteristically […]

Tropica, the beachfront dinner restaurant at The Westin in Ka’anapali, features giant thatched umbrellas, a central koi pond, and a beautiful “wall of water” fountain at the back of the somewhat cavernous, open-air restaurant. If the Hawaiiana theme, slightly too loud (but good) live music, and vacationers passing close to your table don’t bother you, […]

Locals and tourists flock to Kihei Caffe for breakfast. The counter is manned by the owner, who oozes true Aloha spirit, and the service is fast (with a little less Aloha). Order inside — you have to navigate a maze-like, roped-off line to get to the register — and then go find a seat. If […]

Lahaina Grill is a workhorse of a restaurant that consistently creates very good to great meals with some of the best service on the island. From the hostess to the bartender to the servers to the sommelier who works the floor, each employee possesses poise, tact, and knowledge of their product. Whew! What a relief […]

La Provence has excellent pastries in a breathtakingly beautiful location. Get there early (before 9am) to beat the cyclists and morning dog walkers who race there for almond and chocolate croissants, palmiers, and plump fruit tarts. The mangoblueberry scones are positively scrumptious — and huge. The plain croissants are — sincerely — the best we’ve […]
