It's been over seven months since we ate here and I had to come back and rave about the macadamia encrusted mahi mahi. It really is so good that I can still remember it seven months later, which is a long afterglow for food. The location, of course, is tremendous. You can't beat the sound of waves pounding on the... more

Don't think I've ever ordered an entree over $50 in my life until Mama's. There were few options much less than that, & for the signature dish (stuffed local Mahi Mahi) it will set you back $52. Kids meals were $15 but included drinks and dessert. So plan on $100 a pop for adults if you want a drink or... more

If you can afford it, then you have to go to Mama's Fish House. The location is breathtakingly beautiful and very romantic. Walking through the grounds before entering the restaurant was lovely. Inside the decor was nice, but a little dated, with pictures of famous patrons adorning one wall. The service was good but felt a little plastic. I think... more

The location and view are top quality; with an ambience that requires a modest tweek to be "fine dining" material. The meal was a 7 out of 10.....Hey, when the entree prices rival those of high-end charity events, the meals MUST be truly outstanding to warrant higher praise. The customer service is of McDonalds quality; my car was valet parked... more

We visited Mama's, July 16, 2009 during our honeymoon. We are older than average honeymooners and are in the habit of visiting the better end type restaurants. When you visit Hawaii, everything is great, wonderful, fantastic and perfect. This place is many steps above all of that! We were welcomed at the valet parking; The grounds surrounding the reataurant are... more

We had read a lot of good reviews of Mama's Fish House, so we were really looking forward to eating there. We had tickets to see Keali'i Reichel's concert a short drive away at 8pm so we made the reservations for 530pm via open table. We checked in a few minutes early and proceeded to wait, and wait, and wait,... more

the view is gorgeous...but the food and drink are sorely overpriced for what you get. Expect to pay $16 for a Margarita in a small martini glass...don't expect to be given the shaker on the side either & $14 for a small glass of California wine. By all means go for drinks in the bar so you can admire the... more

First off, what a great place to eat with a very special view on the water. We went for lunch because it fit in better with our itinerary. I spoke to people that said dinner was very crowded but just as good. Oh by the way. The lunch menu is really no different then dinner. This is a very pricey... more

I can't understand the big deal on this place. We made reservations using open table and was seated 50 min AFTER....so much for the reservation. I can't justify the prices. We waited over one hour for our food and the waitress was TERRIBLE!!!!!! Yes, the view is nice, but so are all of the places in Maui. This was NOT... more

My boyfriend and I visited Mama's Fish House after a day of driving on 6/7/09. We visited at the recomendation of a friend who had just come back from Maui. I will admit the the restaurant is a bit far away. We came off a drive in Central Maui, and still felt like the restaurant was a bit far away.... more
