Ma'alaea Grill

Frommer's Review

This relaxing restaurant, with hardwood floors, bamboo dividers, and high ceilings, has one of the best views of the Pacific Ocean in Maalaea. There's a great lanai for sitting outside, but it's rarely used because the near-constant winds in Maalaea are wickedly strong. The lunch menu includes a yummy Asian salad (oriental veggies and Chinese noodles over organic baby greens with a sesame vinaigrette) for $9, mac-nut-crusted ono with a ginger butter sauce for $12, and a range of burgers. At dinner enjoy a terrific selection of fresh fish (prepared numerous ways), chicken, beef, and pasta -- come before sunset if you can. The restaurant once again is under the helm of Michael and Dana Pastula (who also own Café O'Lei in Kihei, see above), whose philosophy is "good food without hurting your pocketbook."
