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, […]

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 […]

Thai Chef is a little hole-in-the-wall dive without a liquor license or its own restroom, but it serves some of the strongest Thai food on the island, and offers an exceptional dining value. Tables are crammed together and chair legs practically overlap each other, but patrons — many of whom have brought their own beer […]

You probably have a version of Tasty Crust in your own hometown. Picture the diner that’s been open since the fifties (or earlier), hasn’t updated (or cleaned) since the seventies, serves cheap food and lots of it, and brings in business mainly because old habits die hard and food eaten in childhood automatically attains a […]
