"On the far end of Lahaina’s Front Street, away from the congested shops and streets, Honu Oceanside is a longtime Maui institution. It has a built-in fanbase of locals, part-timers, and frequent visitors who patronized the restaurant when chef Mark Ellman ran the place (along with the nearby Mala Tavern.) Despite a recent total makeover, the restaurant still has much of Ellman’s menu in place meaning it draws the regulars as much as the curious tourists for pizzas (try the Ali’i hamakua mushroom with white truffles), big plates (rock shrimp mac and cheese), and the island-famous ahi bruschetta starter. The oyster selections fit the mood for mid-day meal with friends by the ocean, but if all you want is a simple cheeseburger Honu does that well too, on a brioche bun topped with bacon and caramelized onions." - Juliana Shallcross, Kris Fordham

The fish sandwich and fries was a good portion. The bread was perfectly toasted on the inside and side on the out. Food had good flavor. The server was nice and knowable of the menu. I was disappointed in the coconut banana cream pie. It was banana slices made on the crest with a bunch of cream shredded coconuts. It just tasted like one you could by out of any store.for the price I thought it would be better. The chocolate dessert was good. My husband enjoyed his ocean front Arnold Palmer.

Right at the edge of the ocean, with beautiful views of parked yachts and the island next door. We had a shrimp cocktail, octopus, kale salad and fish and chips split for 2 adults and a kid and it was a lot of food. Everything was done perfectly and it was tasty, with a decent selection of wines to compliment the food (if you are getting a bottle, Kistler Chardonnay is amazing). The service was great, the owner stopped by to chat with customers too (ask them about the big waves that crashed into the restaurant Jul/'22). Great experience and will definitely come back!

Absolutely amazing. My family ate here for a late lunch and it was wonderful. The fish and chips were ahi tuna and the truffle fries were fantastic. Every single thing my family had was finished. The seafood pasta, fish sandwich, and dessert were spectacular. Worth every penny. Excellent customer service as well!! Will definitely be coming back

Wow! What an amazing dinner we ate here, along with an amazing sunset view. Fantastic service, with the highlights being the diver scallops and the banana coconut cream pie. Also had the pizza and the ahi sashimi, both were great. We were seated by the water and we were able to watch an amazing sunset.

The food is to die for! The fish and scallops are super fresh and incredibly well prepared. The thing that knocked a star is the acoustic-design of the restaurant. If you’re not sitting on the deck outside, you’ll have a loud time inside. This is due to all the hard surfaces reflecting the sound back and not absorbing anything. The moment we were able to move outside was a true relief for the ears and my wife and I were finally able to hear each other 😊. The manager and staff are awesome and super attentive. I just wish the acoustics didn’t take away from the culinary experience.

Was able to grab a cancellation, was seated right by the water right in time for sunset, food was amazing and so was the service. I've been to several places to eat during my visit and this one by far has been the best. I got the divers scallops and my boyfriend had the shrimp scampi, we also did oyster shooters, and octopus for an appetizer and raspberry lilikoi tart for dessert. Definitely a must go while here.

This is right up there with Mama's. Wonderful wine selection at a great price, right on the ocean where you can see turtles popping up for air. Food is glorious, we feel it was better tasting than Spagos.

We ate here for our last night in Maui and it was such a treat! The food and service was excellent. The scallop dish was the best I've ever had and the passion fruit tart was delicious. A great spot to watch the sunset. I have an allergy to crustaceans and they were very careful. We'll definitely be back.
