Capische?

Hidden away at Diamond Resort, Capische has become a code word for superior island dining. Chef-owner Brian Etheredge’s sumptuous menu includes risotto with white truffle shavings and quail saltimbocca stuffed with fennel and apple. Make reservations for Il Teatro, where the chefs cook regional Italian right in front of you.

Mama’s Fish House

Mama’s is one of Maui’s most memorable waterfront dining experiences, famous for its heart-stirring windward setting. Every detail is artfully designed to invoke a feeling of old-time Hawaiian hospitality: from the inlaid-shell-and-beach-glass walkway to the mahi mahi steamed in traditional lu‘au leaves.

Hali‘imaile General Store

Beverly Gannon provides an elegant yet unpretentious lunch and dinner menu in a stylish refurbished plantation store setting, using only fresh island ingredients.
