Celebrated my 50th birthday at Mama’s Fish House, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the entire experience felt like something out of a movie. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking — lush, meticulously kept landscaping, a serene private beach, and a restaurant that’s as beautiful as any I’ve ever seen.
We were lucky enough to be seated at a window table and greeted with a personalized birthday card at the table, which was such a thoughtful touch. The restaurant’s attention to detail, both in the environment and the service, was second to none. Every part of the evening, from the walk to the restaurant to the impeccable service, felt magical.
The food was spectacular — entree menus are new daily, the freshest fish and ingredients, prepared perfectly. Our server’s recommendations were spot on, and the service overall was warm, gracious, and attentive. They even brought extra bread and starter soup for my young son without charging, which was such a kind and memorable gesture.
If I could change one thing, it would only be to arrive a little earlier to enjoy the ocean view in daylight, but even at twilight, the setting was serene and unforgettable.
This was easily one of the best dining experiences of my life — a true once-in-a-lifetime memory for a milestone birthday. I would highly recommend Mama’s Fish House to anyone visiting Maui. It’s worth every penny for the full experience, and when I return to Maui someday, I will absolutely come back.

The ambiance of the restaurant is amazing. We had a table closer to the beach in a garden area. A little warm, the staff quickly turned on fans without asking which was a welcome relief for our mid day meal.
By far the service was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Our waiter, Jimmy, was amazing and the whole experience seemed to be coordinated and in sync with the whole staff.
The food was incredible. We ordered many small plates and mains to share and could not have been happier. The back of the house staff deserves a standing ovation.
Book this place in advance!

Good service, mediocre food
I had high expectations for Mama's Fish House, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to them. The service was good—our server was friendly and attentive. However, the food was somewhat underwhelming. The portions were on the smaller side, which wasn't a big issue for me, but the flavors were quite average considering the prices. For the cost, I was expecting something a bit more exceptional. Overall, it was a decent meal but not memorable enough to warrant a repeat visit in my opinion.

From the moment we arrived at the first check-in spot to the last bite of Polynesian Black Pearl. Mama’s surpassed our expectations and the service was some of the best we have experienced. Our waiter saw we were sunburnt and provided cooling towels before our meal arrived. He was truly the best host we have ever had! We lived the atmosphere and rustic environment that stays true to Mama’s roots! We can’t wait to come back some day.

It is definitely worth getting a reservation ahead of time to eat at mama’s. Will definitely make it our one time a trip. It will make your trip very special and memorable. The food was great. The staff was extraordinary and definitely makes you feel on a different level there. Would recommend it to everyone. Yes you’re going to spend a little, but it definitely is worth every penny.
