Mala Ocean Tavern

Fabulous restaurant!

This was our first visit to Mala. What a great decision it was. Our server, I believe, was Rachel. She was super! Had great advice on food choices and drinks. The food was awesome too. My hubby loved the monchong with black bean sauce. Definitely going to come back! Mahalo!!

Was pretty excited to try Mala's after seeing all the positive reviews. But to sum up my experience I'd say that Mala's feels like the place people go to when they failed at getting reservations at Merriman's or Mama's. Very high prices for food that was pretty bland and worse in quality than even something like Bubba Gump's.

Lisa was amazing.....fish sandwich was the BESt I’ve ever had and the new outdoor seating area was fantastic!

Fabulous food and service. We got the best seat in the house! Thank you.

Staff is always outstanding to deal with, food is wonderful and creative, and you cannot beat the view! Mala is great all the way around!

We were outside on their patio, service was excellent, drinks were excellent, food was excellent. Lovely night.

Excellent cocktail! Wonderful burger and coconut shrimp! Wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend Mala!

Our server Dennis was incredible from the first moment until the last, when he asked our teenage son if he made sure to grab his phone. The ambiance was everything we didn’t know we needed on our last night in paradise. The food was perfect. There was something for everyone, including fun dishes for the adventurous parents and regular delicious meals for the kids. We will be back! A new Maui favorite from our Hawaiian loving family in Seattle!

Pork shank was dry & not flavorful. Very expensive. View is great. Food overpriced.

Fantastic food and staff! Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful view and beautiful food!! The best breakfast in Lahaina!

Loved it! We’ll definitely be back

I love Mala, my favorite of the "four" along the water, from the beginning until today with the new owners. We appreciate the continued great dishes and the attention to safety with COVID.

Setting was nice outdoors. Service was a bit slow but relaxing. Greek salad and burger were amazing! Coconut shrimp were below average

We won’t be back. The place was packed during COVID. The food was terrible.

The pork shank is amazing. A definite go to dish. I love the wine list here. It is in the top 3 for maui if not #1. A great selection of affordable and exquisite wines to pair with the great menu. And don't forget the pots de creme for dessert!!!

Great service and very tasty fish sandwich.

I've been going to Mala ocean tavern for the last several years. Their food is always consistent and excellent drinks are to die for and the ambiance right on the ocean cannot be matched by any other. The wait staff has always been a top 10

Great breakfast!! Awesome Bloody Mary with Ahi Bruschetta add-on. A MUST! Eggs Benedict was delicious on their multigrain bread.

Need to update your web page. Still shows 50% off wines Weds night. Not honoured.

Great great food & menu options! Great wait staff. Lovely environment & setting!

Special serting, great food and wonderful service!

We have been patronizing this restaurant since it first opened. Although it is now under different ownership, they have maintained their high quality food and service. It would be difficult to find better ambience.

My wife and I stopped in here for a late happy hour spot. The ahi bruschetta is to die for! Also the flatbreads are great for happy hour! Their Mai Tai was the best in the island while we visited. This place is a great stop not too far off Front St shopping! Give it a try!

Love this place so very much! Always a great time!

Wonderful as always

To be honest, the food was just good. As a freakish foodie and gourmet cook, I am a hard sell. The food was good. The ambiance was extraordinary, the cocktail menu divine. Thank you MaLa Ocean Tavern fir such a wonderful place to enjoy an exquisite sunset. Mahalo.

best oceanfront setting, nice addition with the garden seating area.... but please bring back Huevos Rancheros for brunch.

Lucky us on a last minute reservation we sat on the covered lanai with just a few tables, overlooking the ocean with view of neighboring islands. Otherwise the other outside seating was in direct sun and inside had too loud music for our taste.
Service was fantastic! Food very good with reasonable prices. Definitely will go again.
New executive chef starting in Dec so look forward to new menu options!

Returning here again, everything is excellent. Ocean view dining. Attentive friendly service by the entire staff. Menu selection is excellent and the portions are filling. Definitely to return again.

My wife and I were finally able to go out for a belated anniversary dinner. The restaurant surprised us with two half glasses of sparkling wine because I said it was our anniversary through the app. The food was amazing. Everyone was friendly and seating was well spaced out due to COVID.

Great place to relax on the harbor

We’ve been there twice this week and might go tomorrow too! Yummy food a beautiful view and the nicest people :)

We have been to Mala many times and have had a consistently good experience, from the service, the location and the food. The whole fish is phenomenal!

Friendly service. Great food. Felt safe w all being safe.

We were seating inside of the restaurant, lighting was not good. Need a flash light to read the menu. Food were good, drinks are fantastic and services is wonderful. Definitely worth the dinning experience.

Excellent food and service in a beautiful setting. The ahi bruschetta, pork shank and fish were all outstanding. Didn’t get to try dessert because we were too full. Next time!

Food was good but over priced.

An outstanding dining experience with eclectic fish and unusual cocktails.
