Best Casual Restaurants in Maalaea

Had reservations for table and decided to eat at the bar. Fun evening, if you don’t order the corn bread, you are missing out! Coconut pie also delish!

Our two couples were on island for a week vacation and we’re looking for an excellent local dining experience. Lineage came highly recommended. The restaurant at the shops at Wailea was easy to find and there was plenty of parking in the evening at no charge.  there was a modest indoor seating space and a larger covered external seating area. Always good to request outdoor seating in advance. Our waiter was personable and very helpful describing the family style service with the combination of small plates and large for sharing. We ordered three small plates and three large plates and had plenty of food. We ordered two drinks off of the specialty list .  I enjoyed the jungle piggy which came in a fun ceramic glass.  my wife ordered the Meneki Neko.  She had to send it back; the nose and flavor were reminiscent of a porta potty. It was undrinkable. She ordered a simple spiced rum and pineapple juice as a replacement. We were charged for both. The small plates, including the scallops, poke, and croquettes were excellent. They came in four pieces for us to share. The 8 ounce sirloin, Korean style half fried chicken, and lobster noodles in the butter XO sauce were all fabulous.  There was more than enough food for our older appetites. No room for dessert. 

Very friendly, menu had good variety, great specials n drinks, prompt attention to detail and our experience

We had the calamari for an appetizer. It was good but a little heavy on the breading. I had ono prepared with a sweet and sour sauce and pineapple and green peppers. The concept was good, but the sauce was overpowering and too much for the fish. Perhaps having the sauce on the side or way less of it would enhance the fish flavor rather than drown it. Our server was attentive and prompt.

Havens has a nice variety of menu selections created from fresh island foods at very reasonable prices. The recipes are very tasty and are uniquely gourmet. Very friendly and efficient staff. Fine dining at its best. We will return over and over.
