Maui Restaurants

My new wedding planning obsession has moved onto the Honeymoon space. Since I'm done with so much of the wedding planning (I think I'm pretty ahead of schedule), I'm now looking into all kinds of fun honeymoon activities and restaurants (of course while also procrastinating doing my homework). I have been having so much fun looking up all these delicious restaurants especially ones that feature Hawaiian cuisine. I've already lined up a couple that I plan for us to check out during our honeymoon.

I'm thinking our first night in Maui (Sunday night) will be the perfect opportunity to check out the luau at our hotel. Since we are probably just going to hang out the beach/hotel that day when we arrive, that would prob be a good night for that. The luau at the Hyatt is supposed to be one of the recommended ones to go to.

The next big dining experience I am looking into is Mama's Fish House. This is supposed to be one of the best and most famous restaurants on the island, as well as a very romantic dinner on the beach during sunset. I am thinking I would like for this to be our last dinner on the island and a perfect way to end our trip. The Frommer's review had the following to say, "For over 35 years Mama's has been the Maui destination for special occasions. A stone path leads you through the cool coconut grove to what would be, in an ideal world, a good friend's house. The Hawaiian nautical theme is hospitable and fun—the menu even names which boat reeled in your fish. Despite its high prices—even for Maui—the restaurant is always full; dinner reservations start at 4:30 PM. Chef Perry Bateman outdoes himself with lobster guacamole; Kula corn and crab chowder; and Big Island hearts of palm salad. The daily catch steamed in traditional luau leaves is outstanding—and worth the cash. Follow up with the Polynesian Pearl—a gorgeous affair of chocolate mousse and passion-fruit cream." This truly sounds like a can't miss dinning experience!

Another local recommended restaurant I'd like to check out during the week is the Lahina Fish Company. I've also found some local favorites, such as this famous banana bread stand that we'll be able to check out on Road To Hana trip (Mike made fun of me for this one when he came down and saw the banana on my screen and I tried to tell him about it). And of course we'll have many trips to have the famous hawaii shave ice. So that's three meals down in Maui, and 3 more to pick (this will be hard to narrow down there's so many great choices it seems). And then my other project of course will be looking into restaurants in Oahu.
