Mala Ocean Tavern - Lahaina, Hawaii

A wonderfully relaxing brunch spot with great seating on a deck overlooking the ocean! The food was stellar, though a tad pricey. I highly recommend the seared tuna and ube bread. The servers were very friendly and great to talk to but it did take us a little bit to order despite us arriving right at opening. However, this is definitely a spot I would return to because the food is that good!

One of my absolute favorite places in Maui and our first stop everytime we've come back to the island. The owner is absolutely wonderful and puts her heart and soul into this restaurant and menu. The view is stunning and the food spectacular. Definitely make sure you try the lamb sausage.

This was the most pleasant surprise for my family this Maui visit. We got one a window side high tables with a high chair for my lil one. The service was impeccable with our hostess explaining the dishes and took serious interest in what our group would like. The food was the highlight. With coconut shrimp, ube bread, oyster shooters, Greek salad, French toast and catch of the day everything was as fresh as it could get.

If you are in maui, get into this unassuming restaurant and get yourself surprised.

We had our anniversary dinner there tonight. The food was amazing. I had the scallops and my wife had the filet mignon, both were delicious. Our oceanfront table was great

Love this place! Awesome spot for breakfast!! RIGHT on the water! A few big waves actually sprayed into the porch where we were. Jose was our server- can't say enough good things about him! My honey had the Benedict with ahi tuna and served with wasabi Hollandaise. Never even got a bite lol so I'm sure it was fabulous! I had the avocado toast- what a fresh, delicious meal! All other avocado toast will now be judged based on this guy! The eggs were dark yellow- like healthy, happy chickens lay!! They were the saucy amazing topper on my toast. So so good. The petite rainbow tomatoes were so flavorful - reminded me of all tomatoes from my childhood! And the star was the avocado! So perfectly ripe and flavorful!!! Also got a side of fruit- do get fruit everywhere you go here on Maui- seriously, eat the produce here, it's magical!!

Words can't express this place, but we will try! The staff is exceptional, I made a small mention of it being our anniversary when making the reservation and they showed us a wonderful time. Each if the staff that worked with us made sure to acknowledge that and wish us a happy anniversary! Then they gave us a champaign toast on the house! Then the food we ordered was great! The fresh fish was cooked to perfection 👌. We had calamari and the fresh fish. And the little part about the atmosphere! What a great quaint place with the perfect view at a wonderful location. We were so happy with everything we went back for breakfast a couple of days later. Definitely a highlight of our Maui trip!

This is a lovely restaurant on the water. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable, the food is excellent. We had a Parmesan risotto and scallop dish that was out of this world. The view cannot be beat. And they have some of the best decorated restrooms i have ever been in. Definitely make a reservation if you are a seafood lover. They also have several non-fish dishes, and the steaks are amazing as well.

What a great reason to go back to Lahaina! We were so grateful they were open for a late anniversary dinner. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I have never seen a waiter take so many photos and seemed to enjoy taking the time for all of the tables. I believe that it is our new favorite restaurant on Maui. A new Front Street tradition.
