We've seen a lot of negative online reviews of Mama's, so my husband wanted to cancel our reservation. I insisted on experiencing it for ourselves and I'm glad we did. We were 25 minutes late but we still got a good seat on a Saturday night. They were quite busy. The service was good and the food was excellent. We... more

My wife & I were guests of Mama’s Fish House on June 8, 2008, during our honeymoon. We were running a little behind schedule for our 8pm reservation, but I called ahead and they held our table for us. The restaurant was doing a steady business on a Sunday night; dinner reservations are probably a must. The place has a... more

Was advised before I left the mainland to try Mama's but do it for lunch as dinner prices are too high. Took that advice and went to Mama's for lunch today. Service was good - primarily from the support staff as the waiter disappeared once he got a table of ten... bigger tip over there rather than from just my... more

Great view and food was really good. Three people $240.00 so be ready for an expensive meal. We had an appetizer and two cocktails which were quite tasty. We would go back but be aware that the outside doesn't relect the prices inside. more

The food was excellent (try the crab stuffed fish), the service was phenomenal, the ambiance was great, and the sunset view was breathtaking. We knew going into this that it would be a pricey dinner, however, we still felt that each entree was over priced about $10-$12 from what is should be. However, since Mama's Fish House is "the place... more

Someone mentioned that this was good, so on the way back from Hana we stopped. I think when we heard the name we kind of got a different idea about this place but we were mistaken. Valet was complementary and then you walk down the steps and it's like a different world. We were seated immediately and we were given... more

It's as great as people say it is. We heard about this place from several friends who said it was an absolute MUST that we eat at Mama's while in Maui. We wanted to see what all of the hype was about so we made reservations for 7:30 and went early to watch the sunset. Area: Paia is a big... more

Everthing at Mama's was excellent. The food was prepared perfectly, and the setting is gorgeous. The service was great. All of the fish was so fresh, it tasted like it had just walked off the beach into the kitchen. The Mahi Mahi stuffed with crab and lobster, and the Ahi, Opah and Mahi mahi sauteed in curry and coconut milk... more

In my estimation, the food, quality of service and seating comfort were all average at best. The available seating floor space was minimal, and we found ourselves in very close proximity to other seated guests and actually bumped chairs with other guests at an adjacent table. The menu prices are highly unreasonable and I was offended when viewing them. Before... more

For $118 we got 3 beers @$7 each and 2 dinners @ about $48 each which were not that great. Sure the restaurant is pretty and the view is nice (as are lots of maui's views). The waiter we had wasn't that great and the whole experience was lacking. We had better food and service at SEAWATCH in Wailea. more
