Just finished a 5 day trip to Maui w my wife and this was an absolute highlight.
One of the tougher reservations to get, booked ours far in advance, expectations were high — i was worried.
After eating here & experiencing the service,
I now understand what the hype is about.
You can see this isn’t just a restaurant , it’s an institution & has this refined confidence about them — been here for years, they have perfected the service & food offering.
Complimentary valet, a beautiful private beach, and a great ratio of staff to guests.
My wife, 25 weeks pregnant & eats plant based, had many options curated for her & i can genuinely say, being from California where vegan food is plentiful, she’s never had more options at a traditionally seafood heavy restaurant than she did at mamas. 3 different entree’s, custom & thoughtful adjustments — our server maile made us feel comfortable from the minute we sat down.
The Maui onion tomato salad w/ the 18 year balsamic is something I’ll be making in the future as it was just simple & executed perfectly — again, refined confidence.
I also got the octopus dish that was well seasoned and had bright flavors to it - would recommend.
There was a hiccup in my wife’s entree & it was handled superbly — immediately took the dish back, expedited a new dish, and when it came out, they gave me a sauce to rewarm my meal as they saw i waited for my wife’s food to come out. Just awareness you don’t see that often.
I got the stuffed amberjack w crab & lobster w macadamia hit crust and it just blew me away — simply the best.
We had such a good time we bought a t shirt !

Mamma’s Fish House truly delivers on the experience — the food is fresh and beautifully prepared, the drinks are excellent, and the service is warm and attentive. Everything feels polished and full of aloha spirit.
That said, the price point doesn’t quite match up — it’s definitely on the higher end, and some of the dishes feel a bit overpriced, which makes it seem more about the hype than pure value. Still, the overall experience, atmosphere, and views make it worth visiting at least once. It’s a Maui classic and a must-do spot on the island for anyone who wants to enjoy a memorable meal in a stunning setting.

We had a wonderful experience at Mama‘s Fish House. Have been here before years ago. The view is unbeatable. Although we did not have reservations, we were able to easily walk in and only waited 10 minutes for a seat at the bar. Our bartenders Tom and Jordan made the best Mai tais and gin based cocktail. We shared crabcakes which were full of a large amount of delicious crab and served with roe on top. We also had the shrimp wontons with a macadamia nut dipping sauce. The lobster bisque had plenty of lobster chunks within it. The Hawaiian Onaga and ahi sashimi dish was amazing. So fresh and flavorful. Do not miss this. For dessert, we opted for the island fruit sorbet which was great, but next time I will definitely order the chocolate Polynesian black pearl. The only thing that could use some improvement is better Wi-Fi service within the restaurant. Overall, a great experience and something everyone should try if their budget and time allows. Try making a reservation in advanced here for sunset.

Can’t recommend enough! No wonder they start booking 6 months in advance! Amazing experience start to finish! Our server Eli was above and beyond! He made our dining experience 5⭐️. He had such a good understanding of the flavor palette of each meal and described it in detail, knew the history of the restaurant and was attentive and kind. The views were breathtaking and the drinks were on point. The food was to die for!!! Especially that short rib! Would definitely recommend for a nice dinner out for a special occasion!

The Best Dining Experience of the Year
From the moment we arrived at Mama’s Fish House, everything felt special. Valet parking was seamless, we were warmly greeted, and our hostess led us to a beautiful booth with a stunning ocean view. To celebrate our honeymoon, the restaurant even placed a personalized placard at our table — such a thoughtful touch.
Despite being one of the busiest restaurants on the island, the atmosphere at our table was calm, relaxed, and perfectly timed. Drinks never sat empty, dishes arrived with precision, and if the staff felt rushed, we would have never known it. The service was flawless — warm, attentive, and truly seamless.
The food? Absolutely spectacular. Every bite was fresh, creative, and perfectly prepared. From start to finish, you could tell this was fine dining at its peak, but still carried that casual, beachside warmth that makes it feel authentically Maui.
Reservations are a must — we booked three months in advance, and it was more than worth it. Even though it took us an hour to drive there from where we were staying, I would happily make that drive every day if it meant dining here again.
If you’re visiting Maui or have something special to celebrate, Mama’s Fish House is the place. This is the pinnacle of what dining should be: thoughtful, welcoming, delicious, and unforgettable. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
