Best omakase and sake pairing I’ve had. Chef took us through an amazing nigiri course. They could charge way more for this if they wanted. Don’t miss it

I can’t say enough good things about this Moroccan gem! From the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere transported us—colorful tiles and pillows, lantern lighting, Moroccan kaftans, and traditional music created a cozy, authentic vibe. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Six courses of pure culinary perfection. To top it off, the tea was served with flair and made the perfect end to the meal. The staff was warm and welcoming, happy to explain dishes - it’s clear they care deeply about sharing the beauty of Moroccan cuisine. This is more than a meal—it’s an experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking to savor something unique and unforgettable while in Maui!

Spoon and Key Market exceeded every expectation. We came here for a special celebration, and it was one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve ever had. The staff were phenomenal—kind, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to making our evening special. They even curated the music to surprise us with a birthday song during dessert, which was such a sweet, unforgettable gesture and a great dance party. Every dish was outstanding. The flavors, presentation, and quality were simply exceptional—truly some of the best food we’ve enjoyed anywhere. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. Whether you’re marking a special occasion or just want an incredible meal in Maui, Spoon and Key Market is a must.

About the restaurant

At Marlow we specialize in artisan style, neapolitan sourdough pizza, as well as locally sourced meats and vegetables. Our menu, space, and offerings change seasonally. We aim to bring you modern yet rustic meals to be shared. Chef/Owner Jeff Scheer and wife Kaili, have always loved to entertain at their home in Kula. The concept for the restaurant is an extension of that warm hospitality felt while sharing good food and wine around a table of family and friends. When the restaurant industry shut down in March of 2020, the pair began making sourdough pizza out of their outdoor oven at home. Milling whole wheat berries from a farm in Arizona, hand stretching mozzarella, whole-animal butchery, growing artichokes and summer squash for toppings - it was a true labor of love. What began as a ritual has grown into a restaurant. We look forward to seeing you at Marlow soon.

On the food side are crab, stuffed mushrooms had way too much garlic, but the server corrected it and brought us a beautiful shrimp cocktail. Sampson, our server took care of every single need we could anticipate for our special anniversary. We will definitely be back, a big Mahalo to the entire staff at Ruth’s Chris Wailea Aloha!!
