    We had an exceptional dinner and experience at Honu Oceanside!! The ocean front dining experience was such a delightful setting! We had great service from our waiter, the bar backs/busboy to even the hostess! The mahi mahi was delicious and cooked to perfection! We loved the fish n chips and the brushetta was so unique. Now we know why this place has such a great reputation! We can't wait to go back! Mahalo!! 🍾

    We went to Honu the very first weekend it opened on Maui and weren’t thrilled with our experience. That was more than a decade ago so we decided to give it another shot. We are very glad we did! The views are amazing, service was affable and knowledgeable, and the food was excellent. I ordered the cioppino and my wife got got the seafood scampi. Both were very good and menu items we would order again. We also had a handful of oysters on the half shell which made us wish we had ordered more. We are happy to have Honu back in our restaurant rotation when we return next summer!

    We were sat in an area where the sun beat in on us and there was no relief with fans or shades. Needless to say it was a sauna. By the time we quickly finished our dinner we Were drenched with perspiration. It was extremely uncomfortable. Our bad was accepting the seats in the first place.

    The service was excellent- we arrived early and had some drinks and appetizers that were subsequently moved to our ocean front table. It was a beautiful evening with a spectacular view. The four meals, Seafood with pasta, cioppino, Mac n cheese with fish and scallops were excellent- my seafood with pasta was one of the best meals I’ve ever had and one of the co owners stopped by twice to check on us. All told a wonderful evening of friends and great food. Hats off to Honu !!!

    Beautiful restaurant in a great spot right on the ocean. I ordered the grilled fish and it was a bit dry. I like the carrots and broccoli on the side but for the price I was expecting wow. The Mac and cheese is awesome though. Great service.

    The food was excellent and there was a choice for everyone in our party. The Mac and cheese with shrimp was sinfully good. The ahi was so fresh. The ribeye cooked to perfection. Wish we were seated outside with the waves or at least where we could see them right on the inside of sliders. Our waiter Rich was the best as he was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food and Maui.

    This place was the best overall experience we have had in Maui. I personally had the shrimp scampi. It was so delicious and such a huge portions. My husband had filet mignon topped with Dungeness crab and he loved it. The best customer service and the ambiance was the icing. The best ocean view we've had. We look forward to returning.
