I am not exaggerating when I say the ambiance here is enchanting. I have only dined during the lunch hours but I can imagine it's even more enchanting at night with the tiki torches and cool ocean breeze under a moonlit sky. The food is some of the best I have ever had with excellent service. You will pay top dollar for all of this but it's worth it! read more

My friend and I went here for lunch while on a day visit to Maui. Mama's Fish House was our first stop on arrival. It is worth it and must be experienced at least once. Give it a try, give it a splurge. You won't regret enjoying such fresh, tasty ingredients with wonderful welcoming service. We made our reservation maybe a month in advance. Plan ahead for it and enjoy! read more

We had an amazing experience at Mama's Fish House. We didn't have reservations ( we tried for months). We came early and sat on the beach near the restaurant with a few people and 7 huge sea turtles. Then, Sean was an outstanding server and Kyler a wonderful busboy. The food was delicious, serivice amazing. We sat for about 3 hours and never felt rushed. Expensive ! Expect to spend $300+ but worth every penny. read more

Ambiance: 5 stars Food: 5 stars Cocktails: 5 stars Staff: 4.5 stars Everything we ordered tasted amazing!!! This is by far our favorite restaurant. The experience was great. The money we spent was well worth it. Best cocktails we've ever had (we tried 4 of them). Staff were friendly and polite! Took off .5 because not all were welcoming. Overall, we had a great experience!!! Will definitely come back again! read more

Great foods and service. Still thinking about it even after I have left Hawaii. The line is long, so if you plan to go, arrive a bit early.

One of the most incredible restaurants that I've been to. It is well worth the efforts to get a reservation. The fish was fresh and recipes delicious, desserts had Hawaiian flare and ingredients and tasted great.

Beach At Mama's Fish House - Dessert....the crème brûlée .....amazing!!! - Beaches Near Me - Paia, Hawaii

The beach and location was one of the best on Maui. A hidden gem tucked away with an amazing atmosphere. Be sure to book your reservation well in advance. Four seasons staff had to pull some strings to get us a table for four. The hostess seemed a little short with us initially while waiting to be seated albeit she was seating reservations scheduled out every fifteen minutes. The food was incredible as were the beverages. There is something for every pallet. read more

Well, I lived in California for many years and loved going to Don "the beach comer" in Malibu all the time for Mai ti's....After it closed in the late 90's a friend said, you have a place in Hawaii, right, so when in Maui, go to MaMa's restaurant in Paia and you will have the best Lobster from a remote Island called Triston Lobster, blue color with a real Hawaiian Mai ti WOW!!! the service was like driving-up in a 308 GTS in Malibu.....but better food & cocktails that will haunt you till you return......Poupi beach 2-weeks & MaMa's for 2-weeks will make you young again....

My husband brought me here to celebrate my birthday. Everything was phenomenal, from the valet, hostess stand, food and our waiter. Top notch service. Our food was delicious. I had the fish curry and my husband had the macadamia nut crusted fish and lobster. So fresh and exquisitely prepared. Our waiter was awesome! Since it was a hot day and I was eating a hot dish, I was getting hot. He came by our table and asked us if there was anything we needed. I told him everything was great, I was just getting a little hot from eating my food. Not even two minutes later, he shows up at our table with a tiny portable fan and placed it in front of me. Talk about service! I enjoyed my meal with the comfort of a cool fan in front of me. Great service. Now you see why reservations are booked months in advance! read more

What a perfect experience, all around. Mama's is in a beautiful location, looking out at the beach and waves, has a laid back atmosphere, and wonderful staff! The food was amazing. The stuffed mahi-mahi was simply the most delicious fish dish ever. When we told our wait person, Lacy, we wouldn't order salmon from the Pacific Northwest, because we could get it where we live on the west coast, we ended up in a fun conversation over dinner, as she knew all about our area in far NW California. What serendipity!!!! We had a great meal and a super time. Thanks to Lacy and the other staff who paid special attention to us, and to the fantastic cooks! Don't miss this! read more

My boyfriend went here with his parents more than 20 years ago and said it was one of his moms favorite places. He talked it up pretty high and this restaurant exceeded my expectations. From the view to the service to the food and drinks, this place was a masterpiece. Thankful he made reservations in advance. We will be back! read more

OMG, pure dining heaven! We finally made it to Mama's Fish House in Maui...the food, the service, ambiance=5 stars!!!!! It's been a few months since we dined at this place but I still remember...the sight of a beautiful blue-green ocean behind it, the sound of the waves, the different tastes of exotic foods and of course a yummy mai tai drink in my hand. Simply a treat for the senses and deliciousness I will remember always...and the hospitality of the Hawaiian islands can't be beat of course. read more

This would have been 5 stars but we had poor service. We were treated like kids. My wife and myself went to Maui/ Kauai for a last minute vacation. We are in our in our late 20's but look very young. We are well off for our age. Our server Leah rolled her eyes when we didn't order a second drink ( it was 1pm) and when I asked her to break my $20 for valet she didn't say a word and had the bus boy bring back the change. Overall very good food/ drinks. read more

My first time with my kids to Maui and a co-worker recommended this place. I had not heard of it, but was told it was great. We actually arrived thinking we had a reservation, but we booked it for the following month! The very cute young hostess was very accommodating once she realized our mistake. I thought we were doomed, but she talked to her manager and they told us they would fit us in. We had quite a long wait, but it was our fault and I honestly didn't think we would get in. The gorgeousness of the place was beyond belief! Stunning tropical (or course) decor and exquisite detailing and art everywhere. Photos of the rich and famous including dignitaries, presidents, etc lines a section of a thatched but looking seating area. The food was superb and we had a charming and informative server. It was our special day so we went with appetizers and the decadent chocolate dessert that was called the "Black Pearl" (I think a haha). I had sea bass which was perfectly seasoned and the selections of fish states the name of the fisherman who caught it! How's that for personal touch! It was a fantastic and magical evening and experience in a magical place. It is pricey ($300+ for three) but it's a place you will never forget. Make a memory here!!! read more

We went to Mama's Fish House on Tuesday without reservations and were fortunate to be seated at the bar. Before being seated, we made it very clear that if they had a cancellation or someone simply failed to show up, we would be happy to be seated at that table. Shortly after being seated, we noticed that a table was unoccupied adjacent to the bar. Approximately a half-hour later I again went to the hostess area and reiterated that we would like an unoccupied table as I see there might be one available. Without even bothering to check, she simply said they were completely sold out. Even the bartender acknowledges the empty table but said there was nothing he could do. After a couple of Mai Tai drinks and appetizers, we disgustingly left with the dining table still being unoccupied. I mentioned our displeasure given the empty table in the dining area and received an apology. All she had to do was her job and check instead of the standard line of being sold out. In the end, it's another example of restaurants hiring people who can't even do the simplest of tasks which would have resulted in more profit for the restaurant and a much more satisfied customer. read more

Mamas fish house has been on my to do list for the past 10 years. Every time i visit Maui i always intend to make the pilgrimage to this infamous landmark in Paia. However, I've never been lucky enough to secure a reservation until recently. With some luck and fortitude we were able to go for lunch on my birthday no less. I must admit, i never expected the celestial oasis beyond the obscure entrance from the highway. From the parking lot, we were led to a nicely pebble- paved walkway covered with lush greenery and a view of the gorgeous ocean on the side. We were greeted warmly by lovely hostesses at the front and educated by the meaning of a flower on the right or the left of your ear. At our table, the menu wished me a happy birthday and was filled with delectable drThe lunch that ensued was nothing but spectacular. As i sat at our quaint table for two looking idyllically at the ocean. I thought to myself, wearing the flower on the left means your heart belong to someone... i have to say mamas fish house stole my heart with their hospitality, island charm and never ending yummy cocktails. Paia is a little ways from the main drag of Maui but definitely worth the excursion. read more
