Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Haiku

We always make it a point to eat at Star Noodle when we come to Maui. It never disappoints. We had miso butter fish, short ribs, and the vegetarian version of the Vietnamese crepe. Everything delicious. We were there for dinner after it was dark, so while we couldn’t enjoy the beachfront views, we could hear the waves crashing. So relieved this happening spot survived the fire.

Our best food experience on Maui. Lovely comfortable atmosphere, great service and delicious food! We had the crab pizza, Caesar salad and pork buns for appetizers to share and all were awesome and came out in a flash. Then the special fish of the day(manjang?), curry(panang style with fish and big prawns annd yummy vegetables) and the bbq ribs. Everybody loved their dish and we shared bites because it was so tasty. Wine was good and reasonable. The Banana cheesecake and vanilla ice cream were great. Service was fast and friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Wow. We were given the best table in the house. We had the best Server, Dennis. (ask for his section).  The prefixed Christmas Eve menu was exceptional on every level and on par with Santa delivering gifts Each course compared to opening another gift under the tree For second course I had octopus and my dining partner had the poke/sashimi. We both had a tenderloin for main course and the dessert. Well, we were spoiled. The entire experience from arrival to departure was special!! thank you, Merrimans for making it so.

We are huge fans of Merrimans and Monkeypod Kitchen and visit when we are lucky enough to get a resy and the location in Wailea has the best service despite being in a strip mall a little further from the ocean. Our Christmas Eve lunch did not disappoint. We tried some new things on the menu, their market fish was prepare perfectly and we ended the meal with the pies. The mai tais are also the best in Hawaii.

Great food and ambience - good as always Mahalo!
