Other West Maui Restaurants
HULA GRILL - Kaanapali - About 10 minutes away. A great place for regional cuisine with a wide variety of fish dishes and nightly specials. For a light meal, there's a good selection of appetizers. Located inside Whaler's Village overlooking the beach. Run by the same people as Kimo's and reservations are a good idea here, too. You can get anything to go (even the ice cream pie) should you want to cater your own dinner for two back at the condo. Dinners from about $20.
ROY'S KAHANA - Kahana Gateway, behind the McDonalds - Rated among the top 10 restaurants on the islands. No view and the atmosphere is fair but you go to Roy's for the food. Roy Yamaguchi is a key player in the Hawaiian Regional Cuisine movement and his Maui location tops it with attentive wait staff. Chocolate souffle is a great dessert (it's not large, so chocoholics will want their own). It must be ordered along with the entrees. Reservations needed. Relatively expensive a la carte menu, entrees from about $20. Dinner for two will run $60-90, food only. Luxurious wine menu.
AVALON - Lahaina. - Another top-rated restaurant specializing in Hawaiian Regional Cuisine. (That means superior quality ingredients prepared with the taste of Asian, Latin and Island flavors.) Can be expensive. Bistro-style, not much on atmosphere.
KOHO GRILL - Napili Plaza Shopping Center - nearby at the main highway. Casual dress and atmosphere, varied menu, inexpensive. Family spot.
Luau
There are several commercial luaus on West Maui. The Maui Marriott Luau is known for both the good show and good food. Another popular beachside show is the Old Lahaina Luau on the ocean side of the 505 Front Street complex. It is considered by many to be the most authentic with all of the entertainment reflecting Hawiian heritage and culture. If you would like a bit of native dancing and live Hawaiian music without the $60+ price of the luaus, consider the show at Cook's-at-the-Beach at the Westin Hotel. One show a night (except Sunday) with no cover charge. You can order off the menu or enjoy all-you-can-eat prime rib buffet (about $20). Call to check on show time.
Sunday Brunch
KAPALUA BAY HOTEL - Look for the cold soup of the day, sushi, custom omelets, etc. About $20. Reservations recommended.
THE WESTIN at Kaanapali - More omelets, waffles, sushi, fruit, pastry and plenty of hot and cold entrees. Includes champagne, about $25. Both in garden settings with the ocean beyond. Reservations recommended.
RITZ CARLTON - Kapalua - Champagne brunch with the attentiveness you would expect at the Ritz, about $38.
Breakfast Buffet
SWAN COURT - Hyatt Regency Hotel - Lots of hot breakfast entrees, pancakes and French toast, sweet rolls, fresh fruit and a lovely lagoon setting. Breakfast served daily. Reservations not necessary Monday through Saturday. About $15.
