The 25 Best Maui Restaurants, According to a Local Expert | Eater

"This oceanfront fan favorite is as popular as ever, so reserve a table in advance. The fiddlehead fern salad features crunchy, earthy pohole ferns, a local delicacy you won’t find on many other menus. The extra smoky broth in the hapa ramen is rendered from pigs roasted whole in the traditional Hawaiian īmu (underground oven) at the lū‘au next door. The ‘ahi avo is simplicity itself: cubes of ruby red tuna and ripe avocado kissed by lemon, pressed olive oil, and extra-delicate soy sauce. The bar also turns out refreshing libations like Asian pear with vodka, muddled calamansi lime with gin, and watermelon sours — all perfect pairings with the salty breeze. Best for: A semi-casual sunset dinner after a day at the beach." - Shannon Wianecki
