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.

    Amazing location, but probably our least favorite for food. Still glad we did it as the location is so amazing. Not sure we’d do it again given the drive from Lahaina and cost for food itself. Happy to have done it once and the service was great and people are lovely!

    Authentic Hawaiian dining experience. Every detail impressive. Food is delicious and service second to none. There were so many interesting menu items we wanted to go back again and again but we would have had to plan that well in advance because reservations need to be made well in advance.

    Truly, a very special restaurant. From the moment you arrive until the moment you leave, you will feel that they want to give you a memorable experience. All staff works together flawlessly to provide this. We were celebrating a birthday and a lovely card was placed on our table to greet the birthday person. Menu choices are so creative and enticing. It’s a hard choice to make. We started with crab cake appetizers that were delicious. The seafood is not only the freshest, it shares with you, on the menu, where it was caught. We finished with the Black Pearl dessert which truly is a work of art as well as being an excellent choice. A walk on the beautiful beach after dinner makes for the best of evenings.

    Everything it is cracked up to be. Amazing food, ambience, and service. Worth the wait! We had the sashimi, ahi main course, and bouillabaisse. All were spectacular and were finished off with the delicious banana macadamia nut crumble and coffee. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly-especially considering it was the end of a shift. Loved our time here.
