This was by far one of the best dining experiences we have ever had on Maui. We have been coming to Maui on a frequent basis for more than 20 years and have dined at many fine restaurants but this is now my favourite. We look forward to dining at Spago again. The food, the service and the ambiance were outstanding. Our waiter, Cooper, made the experience one to remember.
