This was our last restaurant we visited during our stay on Maui. We stayed in Napili so it was a bit of a drive. I read nothing but good things about the restaurant and was still absolutely amazing! The environment is amazing, the entire lay out of the restaurant is just fun. They go a little over the top, but... more

My husband and I were married in Lahaina two years ago and decided to spend the day at Flemming Beach where we took our vows. That evening, we went to Mama's Fish House because we were recommended to go there by a friend who grew up on Maui. What a nice time we had! We were late for our reservation... more

All I can say is WOW. This place was everything I've heard and more. The view is simply incredible and nothing beats the service. We made reservations for 5:45pm and got there a little early and were seated right away. A friend of mine got a gift certificate for me online and while we were sitting they presented it to... more

Ok, so the place has a wonderful location, right on the water. And if you show up during sunset, it's really magical. But it is a renowned restaurant so the food should be..out of hand, it is not. I followed the waitstaff recommendation and ordered the fish special of the day, fresh, sure, as expected but not spectacularly prepared. It... more

Starting with valet parking to friendly staff. This is by far the best dinning on the island. Be prepared to pay for it though. Mouth watering lobster tail and filet that melts in your mouth isn't cheep, but you will enjoy it!!! more

We were married in Maui and have a time share there. I have been to Maui 3 other times and finally decided what to see why everyone talked so much about this restaurant. WOW, I am glad we did. Going into the meal you know it is going to be expensive, but from the moment we pulled up...it was one... more

mama's was the hands down most exquistie dining experience that we had on our trip to hawaii. the menu was creative and featured local items not easily found elsewhere. the location was ideal with fantastic grounds and ocean views. the staff were friendly and attentive. the downsides are the astronomical prices. we went to lunch to avoid the dinner time... more

Took our 3 kids in April 08 to Maui - had to go to Mama's! Yes, its expensive, but there is a reason for that. With all of the truly mediocre restaurants on Maui, its nice to know you can depend on Mama's. We have never ordered anything we haven't liked. The kids wolf down things they'd normally never look... more

Of course Mama's is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. The food is scrumptious and exceeds anything I've had at restaurants in Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Sarasota and Naples. Our party had a wide variety off the menu from filet minion to the local fish and a hawaiian sampler. Each and every dish was excellent and the... more

We were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary on Maui, and wanted to end the week at the restaurant touted as Maui's best. We had read reviews about Mama's Fish House, and it surpassed our expectations. The food was absolutely wonderful, the service was great, and the view was, well, paradise. It is quite expensive - we paid about $150 for... more
