Restaurants near Whalers Village

We celebrated my in-laws wedding anniversary during our extended family Thanksgiving week vacation. Maddie was our server and over the top excellent. We also got to dine during the sunset which made the evening that much more magical.

Been coming here for over 30 years! Doesn’t disappoint. Seafood is always beautifully prepared. Appetizers and salads are fantastic. Highly recommend the Hawaiian Ahi Poke, the Caesar Salad. We had the Parmesan Crusted fish and the Tristan Island Lobster tails. Hula Pie is a big hit if you like ice cream cake desserts. They give you a huge slice! Views are breathtaking.

Great beer, awesome happy hour menu, great value which is hard to find on the island. Right on beach next to whalers village so super location

Love the ambiance, (we could have sat there all day) the live music and food! We went for a late lunch and had tacos and saiman. My daughter loved the tacos.. Korean bbq (?), definitely some spice there, the saiman was not what I expected however my bias should not deter anyone from trying it! The texture of the noodles was lovely, I just wasn’t sure about the broth- not quite pho and not quite ramen, the herb mixture had me confused. We definitely highly recommend the sorbet ♥️. Yum. Our waiter James was amazing, super attentive and friendly, made the lunch even better! Thank you!

Anyone who has been to Hawaii has paid too much for a very average meal or below average meal with an ocean view. Especially in Maui. This wasn’t that. Ulu Kitchen had an interesting menu and was expensive but not outrageously so, especially by Maui standards. We made a reservation an hour before and were seated at a table parallel to right the path separating the restaurant from the beach. Importantly we were elevated a few feet above and maybe 10 feet back so it felt very private. Super attentive service from Loran who had a great command of the menu. My wife and I split a main (surf and Turf Duo) pairing a 7oz filet with lobster ravioli, mashed potatoes, beans and a bit of salad. Spectacular especially the ravioli which are harder to find than a good steak. We ended up trying 3 appetizers : Tako Escargot which is bits of poached octopus prepared escargot style and served in an escargot tray. Superb. Also the Manila Clams - the broth was excellent and the clams tender and fresh. And finally the crab cakes which were average but served with a nicely green cream sauce with a little kick. We would go again tomorrow just to eat the ravioli. Nice ambience although it can get windy and there is live music from 5 different places going on in the background. But we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
