Mama’s is a South Seas dream: superb food, top-notch service and a gorgeous seaside setting. The fish is literally fresh off the boat Â‒ staff can even tell you who caught it. Tropical island themed, the interiors have everything from driftwood to sugarcane machinery. When the beachside tiki torches are lit, it's one of the dreamiest dining settings on Maui.
The only drawback is the eye-popping prices, which match those at the island’s most expensive resorts. Yet with lobster- and crab-stuffed fish this good, no one seems to care. Mama's is a magnet for honeymooners, or for anyone looking for that once-in-a-lifetime Hawaii experience. Dress smart, Hawaii style, or go all out and impress. Located off the Hana Hwy 1.5 miles east of Paʻia town. Reservations essential; holidays book out three months ahead.
