A really good listing of Dining spots on Maui from Fodor's is here: All of the restaurants in the hotel are quite good... Our personal favorites ourside the hotel are:
Mamas Fish House Each day Mama's fishermen search their
favorite fishing spots for the very best tropical fish, often catching fish rarely seen in restaurants, bringing their catch directly to Makawao Steak House Where better to go for
great steaks than ranch country? This paniolo restaurant, nestled in a restored house that was built in 1927 on the slopes of Haleakala, serves downright good prime rib, rack of lamb, and fresh fish with consistency you can count
on and friendly service. Three fireplaces and an intimate lounge create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. No lunch.
A Pacific Cafe (Near Hotel) Hawai'i
Regional cuisine, the culinary edge in the Islands these days, began with a few innovative Island chefs, such as Jean-Marie Josselin, whose creations are now served by four establishments. Such flavor combinations as
pan-seared mahimahi with garlic, a sesame crust, and lime-ginger sauce; roasted duck with garlic-mashed potatoes and sundried-cherry and star anise sauce; and seared scallops in crisp polenta crust with
caramel sauce and seared corn and avocado salsa are just some of the mouthwatering choices. The restaurant's tropical, whimsical decor has been described as "the Flintstones meet the Jetsons."
No lunch. Hali'imaile General Store What do you do with a lofty wooden building that
used to be a camp store in the 1920s and is surrounded by a tiny town in the middle of sugarcane and pineapple fields? If you're Bev Gannon, you turn it into a legendary Island fine-dining tradition. The Szechuan barbecued salmon
and rack of lamb Hunan-style are classics. For a filling and innovative appetizer, try a sashimi napoleon, a tower of crispy wonton layered with smoked salmon. The outstanding house salad is topped with Maui onions; mandarin
oranges; walnuts; and crumbled blue cheese on request.
