An absolute must when visiting Maui!!

The food, the ambiance, the service….everything was absolutely perfect!! Arrive early and visit the beach, stay a little longer and take photos. Linger over conversation and coffee. Highly recommend getting reservations months in advance, lunch time was fantastic!

Lives up to the Hype

Had a wonderful meal. The fish was was fresh and the service was outstanding. The restaurant is right on the water and has spectacular views. A very nice acknowledgment of my wife’s birthday and may her feel special

Spectacular and superb!

Mama's is probably the most famous dining destination on Maui, and we can only repeat those superlatives here. We stayed at the Inn for four nights and were lucky to have two dinners at the restaurant. Ambiance, service and food exceeded expectations. Highly recommend the...James Bond martini if you've had your fill of mai tais.More

Excellent dining experience

Fine dining at it’s best. The ambience, the decor, the welcoming staff, and most of all the five star meals with top notch service. The ocean front view is stunning. This a little spendy, but so over-the-top delicious and enjoyable that it is well worth...the outlay.More

Worth the wait!

I got lucky and was able to get in on a cancellation since reservations are booked months in advance. My fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The wait staff was knowledgeable, friendly and fun!

Must do

I made reservations 5 months out and was lucky we got a time. We had an early dinner reservation. The meal was quite pricey but we figured since we got reservations we should splurge. We all got something different and we all enjoyed it. Our...waiter Chip was great at telling us the specials and the different types of drinks that they offered. It was a nice first time visit but probably wont return as it was close to $500.00 for three of us.More

A "must do" on Maui!

I was fortunate enough to be able to get in to Mama's Fish House for lunch while we were on Maui. The menu is pricey, but this is one of the very few times I would say without hesitation that it's worth it! I am...not a big fish eater, but they have a Mahi-Mahi stuffed with lobster and crab that is, without question, the best fish meal I have ever had. The decor is beautiful and it is really an enjoyable experience to dine here!More

Tropical Paradise

This is the absolute best restaurant in the entire island! Dinner reservations are 5 months out and lunch reservations are 3 months out. We stopped by to have lunch and was very fortunate to get a spot at the bar. The service and food were...exceptional to say the least! We will definitely make reservations the next time we plan to visit Maui.More

I highly doubt it, but you could call. There is valet parking in a small lot; perhaps that would give you some peace of mind as the valet is always out there.
