Mala Wailea

This upscale version of Mala Ocean Tavern in Lahaina occupies the prime restaurant location at the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. Serving breakfast and wonderful dinners, this is not to be missed. Created by Chef Mark Ellman, one of the original founders of the Hawaii Regional Cuisine movement (his other restaurants on Maui include Maui Tacos, Penne Pasta Café, and Mala Ocean Tavern), this is a great place to enjoy island food in a casual atmosphere. Chef Ellman has created a menu that rivals the spectacular ocean view for your attention: Balinese stir-fry with fresh island fish, ginger-garlic black bean sauce over a whole wok-fried fish, and hoisin-glazed baby back ribs. Or you can choose from the lighter "tavern" menu of ahi burger, fresh island fish sandwich, or Kobe beef cheeseburger. Breakfast features both a la carte items (don't miss the "killer" French toast or the chilaquiles -- salsa, corn tortillas, eggs, sour cream, and feta cheese) and a full (more than full) buffet.
