Mama's Fish House is a converted beach house in a coconut grove on a secluded white sand beach. Inside, hinged windows open to let in the trade winds and Polynesian artifacts and original oil paintings decorate tropical hardwood walls. The rooms are filled with spectacular flower arrangements and handmade tapa print cloths cover the tables. Open air dining is equally exciting, and everyone enjoys watching the windsurfers performing offshore.

The safety & well-being of our staff, guests, and each and every member of our Maui community is of the utmost importance to us. We have implemented new health and safety protocols that go above and beyond our already strict standards. We look forward to serving you with safety & Aloha!

Only lunch reservations can be booked up to 90 days in advance on OpenTable.
Our Reservationist can book both Lunch and Dinner up to 18 months in advance by calling 808-579-8488.

    I had the Boulliabaise and it was excellent. I have been to Mama’s two other times and my other dinners were simply excellent. So, thus far, I don’t think you can go wrong with anything. The Pau Hana is also an amazing cocktail!

    Though it may be pricey, Mama’s is an experience that you don’t want to miss when on Maui! I always go for their curry dish, beyond wonderful, but you won’t be disappointed by anything on the menu! The ocean scenery from our table is unparalleled and the décor uniquely impeccable. Though our primary server was a bit lackluster compared to other servers we’ve had there, you can tell that the rest of the team loves working there, and it shows in the overall quality of the service as well as the fare.

    Phenomenal food, very well versed server. Prices were high as expected and the only miss-step was that it took quite a while to get the bill, and then further to get change for cash.

    The food was superb—we had the fish coller appetizer, the tooth fish, the curry dish and the macadamia nut fish special. It was all delicious. I personally preferred the curry the best, but each was magnificent in its own way.

    Food and scenery were top notch. The only reason I didn’t give it a solid 5 stars is because I think it’s a touch overpriced but everything was delicious.

    My husband and I are so happy we finally got to Mama's! We went for our anniversary, and they gave us an amazing table with a view as well as an anniversary card. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. They definitely great communication amongst the staff. My husband is allergic to shellfish, so on top of everyone wishing us happy anniversary, everyone, including the food runner and support staff that cleared the table and filled water acknowledged it. Gil was our primary server and was on point. He came with great recommendations. The food was absolutely amazing. Definitely the best meal we had on Maui this trip. We are already looking forward to going again on the next trip.

    If you are coming to Maui, this is a must do! My husband and I dined here upon arriving on the island. We both agree... It is one of the best meals we have ever had. The restaurant is right on the water. Our server Jessie was so sweet and explained everything so nicely. The food was beyond excellent. Even the coffee was outstanding. But just as an FYI … Manas is by no means inexpensive. We could see on the faces of some of the other patrons the sticker shock upon looking at the menu. But for my husband and me, this was a once in a lifetime experience and worth every penny! PS… make your reservations well in advance. Books up months ahead of time.
