MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Dining With A View: The Seawatch Restaurant at Wailea
DINING WITH A VIEW The Seawatch Restaurant at Wailea You might think the name sums it up, but it really doesn’t. Because you’re not just watching the sea, you’re watching an incredible stretch of coastline that, if you time it right, is lit up with eye-popping reds and oranges that don’t lose their magic even […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Local Food on Maui: Da Kitchen
LOCAL FOOD Da Kitchen Whether it’s ono plate lunches, tasty desserts or just friendly, laid-back service, Da Kitchen continues to serve what locals crave. Their huge Hawaiian plate is amazing (chicken long rice, lau lau, kalua pork, lomi-lomi served with two scoops rice and mac salad), but their chicken katsu is king. It’s like a whole […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Female Bartender on Maui: Sarah Stern at the South Shore Tiki Lounge
FEMALE BARTENDER Sarah Stern (South Shore Tiki Lounge, Kihei) A well-placed spy tells me that not only is Sarah a friendly, efficient bartender who moonlights as a massage therapist, she’s easy on the eyes as well. Her signature drink is a Sarita (roll the “r”), a tequila and triple sec concoction that also goes by […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Male Bartender on Maui: Dave Bauss
MALE BARTENDER Dave Bauss (Milagros, Paia) This guy gets extra props from me due to the fact that he didn’t look at me with complete disdain when I spilled my water all over the place during a recent happy hour (at least my Maui Cruiser margarita was safe and sound). Obviously, to tend bar at […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best BBQ on Maui: Fat Daddy’s Smokehouse
BBQ Fat Daddy’s Smokehouse Vegetarians look away. There is nothing more carnivorous than tearing the tender meat from the rib of a fleshy cow or pig, but the experience gets even more primal with the addition of lots of dripping barbeque sauce. While I’m sure local islanders have come up with many fine ways to […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Seafood on Maui: Mama’s Fish House
SEAFOOD Mama’s Fish House A lot of places assure you their fish is fresh, but Mama’s takes things a step further. On the menu, they tell you the name of the fisherman who caught your prospective dinner and where he caught it. Of course, that would be less important if the fish weren’t expertly prepared, […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Steak on Maui: Ruth’s Chris Steak House
STEAK Ruth’s Chris Steak House If there is a perfect way to serve steak it probably goes a little like this: choose the most succulent cut of Midwestern beef you can get your hands on, cook it to order in an 1,800-degree broiler and then serve it atop a puddle of melted butter on a […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Fish Sandwich on Maui: Paia Fish Market
FISH SANDWICH Paia Fish Market Some people gripe about the Fish Market’s picnic-table style seating—or, more to the point, that there’s not enough of it. But I like it: it lends itself to meeting new people and gives the place a backyard picnic vibe. As for the crowdedness? Well, that’s pretty much unavoidable given how […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Pint O’ Guiness on Maui: Mulligan’s on the Blue
PINT O’ GUINESS – Edit Pick Mulligan’s on the Blue When you can’t get a flight to Ireland to get your Guinness fix, the next best thing is to head over to Mulligan’s on the Blue. This is a beer that’s best on draft, and I even hear this rich dark brew is considered a […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Vegetarian on Maui: Fresh Mint
VEGETARIAN Fresh Mint This is the poet laureate of vegetarian restaurants. The menu at this Vietnamese joint includes some of the tastiest and wildly imaginative vegan items I have seen on this island, or anywhere else, truthfully. I have even tried the fake fish here, and found it to be most tasty. My favorite dish […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Local Sandwich on Maui: 808 Deli
LOCAL SANDWICH 808 Deli If you’re a fan of panini, dial up 808. They do non-grilled sandwiches too, and they’re plenty good, but you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t try the “porkie”: pork, mango salsa and pepper jack on rye with sweet chili dipping sauce. Or the “roast beast,” a wallop of […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Dinner on Maui: Moana Bakery & Cafe
DINNER Moana Bakery & Cafe There are some absolutely mouth watering delights at Moana Cafe, an eclectic bistro and bakery. I would venture to say some of the best lamb in the world is served here at dinner. Its called the lamb wahi wrap by day, and known as the rack of lamb at night. […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Mexican Food on Maui: Amigo’s
MEXICAN FOOD Amigo’s When in need of a Mexican food fix, Maui Time readers head to Amigo’s. We are creatures of convenience and with locations in Kihei, Kahului and Lahaina you don’t have to go far to find them. My favorite item is the burrito al pastor, served traditional style with cilantro and onions. They […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Lunch on Maui: Cafe Mambo
LUNCH Cafe Mambo It seems like eclecticism is the way to go if you’re shooting for Best of honors. Mambo is a case-in-point—the menu goes well beyond sandwiches and burgers. Yes, vegans like myself will dig the tofu-nori fajitas, the seven-vegetable tagine (morroccan stew) and the roasted vegetable salad. Carnivores can sink their teeth into […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Fish Tacos on Maui: Jawz Tacos
FISH TACOS Jawz Tacos I don’t think anyone will be surprised that Jawz took first place in this race once again. The tacos at Jawz are, quite simply, works of art, with all that fragrant cilantro rice, crunchy cabbage, shredded cheese and creamy salsa. And the options! With three kinds of fresh fish (mahi mahi, […]
