Mama's came highly recommended by a family that lives on Maui,and we now have a favorite restaurant! Fabulous food,awesome views,superb service. From the moment we arrived we were charmed, the valet parking took care of parking as we took some family photos in the beautiful beachfront reception area. (Come early). We had the most lovely server (Terry) that was very... more

A very pricey place for lunch, but if you want to splurge this is the spot to do so. Two of our party had the ahi and it was wonderful; served with a pulled pork rice pilaf and a deliciously spiced kim chee. The other of our party had the ehu, an orange snapper, and it looked divine. If you... more

The meal was excellent. Service was not as stellar as the price dictates that it should be. The fish is fresh and the menu changes daily. It was positively scrumptous. I'd say that the meals are over-priced, but good. The keiki plates are $15 which included the meal and a bowl of ice cream and not a drink. Our daughter... more

If you are flying out in the late afternoon, this is a great way to spend your last day on the island (unless you want a romantic evening dinner which would be nice, too). We had a late lunch, superb food (pricey but worth every penny - I do not penny pinch on fine dining). The view is great, a... more

After all the good reviews I had read and heard about this restaurant, it was the one place I was looking forward to the most on our honeymoon in Maui. This place does NOT disappoint. The atmosphere is incredible, it's right on the beach, it's half indoors, half outdoors. Words cannot do it justice. Amazing ambiance. Now let's get to... more

My wife and I ate at Mama's fish house on our first night in Maui. The prices are expensive but it was worth it (especially if you stay at the Inn and get the 15% discount on dinner). The restaurant is set pretty much right on the beach and just off of Hana highway. It has a beach bungalo type... more

Every once in awhile, my wife and I visit a place that is so special that afterwards I say "we really should write a quick review on TripAdvisor.' Mama's Fish House in Maui is one of those places. Before we went, and while I had never been there, just from reading the reviews I had a feeling this was going... more

My husband ate there for dinner on a Saturday night and the place was packed. It was a good thing we made reservations. We got seated 15 minutes late, but the service was excellent. My husband ordered the boullabaise and I ordered the whole fried fish. His entree was $52 and mine was $42. The food was really good but... more

We stopped at Mama's Fish House on our way back from Hana. The evening was fantastic on all counts --- the food, the view from the table - out the open 'window wall', the wait staff. It is pricey, (with the tip we spent $140), but it was our big night out for the week, and we were very impressed. more

Let's get this out of the way first, food and atmosphere here is great. But the staff acts like they are doing you a favor allowing you in. From the moment we arrived, the attitude of the valet staff set the stage. They were rushed and bossy, not welcoming at all. When I checked in for our reservation the "greeter"... more
