My favs were the Coco Crusted Mahi and Queso Tacos w/beef birria. Our server, Koral (with a 'K'), was a highlight for all of us.

Last full day for us in Maui with one more visit to Coco Deck scheduled... it's time to try the Assassin Smash burger!

PHENOMENAL. We shared the BBQ plate and fish and chips. The fish was so fresh and flavorful. I had to take a moment to process the magic that had entered my mouth. But my number 1? The absolute goat? THE RIBS. Those ribs were the best I've ever had. They fell off the bone and the crispy exterior was so freaking good. I have no words. I can never eat ribs again. Truly a life changing experience. If you come here, order the ribs. Please. Let me leave you with this. God is real and his name is Jack. Captain Jack.

We went around dinner time the service was…read morefriendly, fast, and efficient...but the best part about Captain Jack's is the barbecue ribs The second you place your fork on the rack it glides through the meat skating through the savory-sweet barbecue sauce. The meat was tender and divine. I'll never forget my first bite when my taste buds nestled onto the crispy exterior. I didn't just taste deliciousness; I tasted the craftsmanship, the love, the determination, the flames, the seasoning, the hands that put together...dare I say the greatest ribs of all time. I could have cried as all of my pain was healed in every bite.  The fish n chips were also incredibly good, a close second. The fish made me fall to my knees and thank life for putting me on this planet so I could eat this fish today. With traditional fish n chips, the crust carries the taste, but here at Captain Jack's it tasted like the fish was born with the flavor its molecules and genes seasoned with the magic that we had devoured. Please please go to Captain Jack's, and if you only order one thing make it the delicious, creamy, savory, healing barbecue ribs

Just go and soak in the atmosphere, even the people waiting in line. We've had strangers treat us to breakfast for our anniversary, and it inspired us to do the same for others. Just go and enjoy!

Wandered around and decided on monkey pod. She told us 20 minutes sure enough, my phone buzzed 20 minutes later. We were seated at a table overlooking a spectacular but cloudy sunset. Smiles all around. The beautiful decor, the view and our professional, friendly server enhanced the joy of our evening. My fiancé had a mixed green salad with goat cheese, bacon bits , and house vinaigrette. Excellent. I had a fresh Ono fish sandwich with homemade kimchi on the side and an order of sweet potato fries. Started off with a beer from their rather extensive list. Oceanfront restaurants are notoriously expensive and not tasty. In this case, we had ambience, a view, excellent service and delicious food. We intend to return before we go home next week.

And the best rice with furikake, and then some pretty good macaroni salad? Only here as far as I know? Definitely not where I live in San Diego. The tuna was just as amazing as I remembered. It's easy to walk into the beach bar. And I liked the strawberry salad again, although the strawberries themselves were not that great. The salad is full of fat (nuts, goat cheese, and dressing), but the local lettuce is really good and overall it's a very tasty salad. And you can avoid the fat by getting the dressing on the side and eating around the goat cheese and not eating all the nuts. I was a little disappointed with my 1944 cocktail. It was definitely strong in alcohol content, but the flavor was super muted compared to last time. Decided to order the hula pie because we had a discount card giving us a free one with two entrees, which we had bought anyway. It's a hulking dessert that might be crowd pleasing with a table of kids. It's much too much for one or two people, and not that interesting. I liked the chocolate sauce and the nuts, and that's all I ate. They have this at all of their restaurants, but I wouldn't pay to order it. Anyway, it was a little disappointing after it was one of my top two meals on the last trip. And the hurricane ahi is a must order. but once was enough for this trip!

My wife made a reservation at this restaurant ahead of the busy Labor Day weekend Monday. When we…read morearrived at the busy location we waited patiently for or table for two. We were shown to a 6 top table (for a reservation for two people) during an obviously busy night. There was a reason that the table had been empty: on a breezy evening this table had zero air movement. We were stuck in a corner, even though the window was wide open. The entire restaurant has ceiling fans whirring. Table #120 is a dead zone, no breeze. No ceiling fan. When we mentioned this fact to our server she had a "standard" answer about how the heat is building because of the hurricane. BS! We had just walked to the restaurant along the beach to the with a strong breeze blowing at our backs. Table 120 is in a back section of the restaurant without a ceiling fan. When I complained to the hostess who seated us she began to tell me that the open air restaurant was entirely composed of hot tables. This place is busy because of where it is located. We had decided to have a selection of starters for our dinner. Dry ribs. Poor humus. Without its location on the beach it would fall flat on its face. Give this place a pass.

The outdoor seating has an amazing view--just be ready to deal with the birds. Unfortunately, our server wasn't very friendly or attentive, which took away from the experience. The food itself was just okay. The steak tacos were tasty but extremely small for an Aloha Hour portion and price. The Kalua pork wraps were also fine, but again, way too small for what they cost. The burger was the best of the savory items, with a nice char on the outside. The Mai Tai was just okay, not strong and not particularly memorable. The highlight of the meal was the Kimo's Original Hula Pie. It's a huge slice, perfect for sharing, and absolutely delicious with the chocolate and mac nut ice cream. If we ever return, it would be solely for the Hula Pie.

The service was friendly and welcoming as well. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the setting for us. Several dishes were overly salty, and the value for the portion sizes was disappointing. For example, five small prawns were $45, and the whole fried fish was $99. The calamari starter was also disappointing. It wasn't fresh calamari, but rather fried calamari strips that seemed like the type that come frozen in a bag. The bruschetta wasn't really bruschetta either. It was more like an open-faced sandwich. At these prices, I expected better quality, preparation, and portion sizes. It's definitely a place where you're paying a premium for the oceanfront view and atmosphere. Beautiful location and friendly service, but the food and overall value fell short for us.

We tried the banana cream pie and Olawalu lime pie (not pictured) to-go on two separate instances. The banana cream pie is fantastic.

The lime flavor was delicate, but the texture of the filling was neither airy nor custard-y enough. The restaurant is cozy and inviting, and I'm sure you could take in the vibe if dining in. Even if not dining in, definitely do try at least once during your trip to Maui.

I honestly didn't even know this spot existed, but it turned out to be a great place to celebrate a special occasion. The setup was nice -- breakfast items in one room, and everything else in another -- and even though we were seated during the later half of the brunch, there was still an overload of options with items being constantly refilled. They had sushi, prime rib, crab legs, desserts, breakfast favorites, and plenty more. I did manage to snag a few crab legs before they ran out (such a bummer!), and I even left some behind for the next person thinking they'd get refilled... lesson learned, lol. But everything I did try was delicious. My family and I had a really enjoyable time. Service was nice and friendly. Between the variety, the quality, and the relaxed resort setting, it ended up being a lovely way to spend Mother's Day. I'd definitely recommend checking out Coral Reef if you're looking for a spot to celebrate something special. Plus, the view from the lobby upstairs is beautiful. Definitely stop there on y
