    Had drinks only as we had an harbor cruise dinner to follow. Drinks were tropical and service was fine.

    Ever since I dined at the Restaurant at Hotel Wailea for my birthday 8 years ago, I knew there was something special about Zach Sato. So, when I discovered he opened up Haven's Harborside since I was on island last year, I made a reservation 3 months ago early for hubby's birthday dinner. Started off with a Maui ohana wagyu beef croquette creatively paired with a tomato jam, olives, and za'star. He got the fish of the day special that came from a 147 lb mahi mahi caught by Captain Derek that day, prepared with a creamy red curry sauce so delicious, we mixed the entire bowl of rice to get every drop of that sauce. I ended up choosing the kampachi, which coincidentally was the same fish with a similar acidic preparation as the one I had 8 years ago, but this time with more aromatics. I did forget that I thought it was a bit too acidic previously so preferred the creamy red curry preparation of the mahi mahi.

    Located near the Maui Ocean Center, Haven's offers a variety of seafood options and smash burgers. We went in late December and got an indoor table which was open to the outdoors, but without direct sun. The weather was fantastic, sunny, breezy, high 70s. Shout out to our server, Iris, who was awesome. She checked in on us a lot but didn't pressure us even though we were taking our time. Our kids even got some free cookies for Christmas time. The food- Verde Fish Tacos - tasty version of grilled fish tacos - tender fish + creamy smoky sauce with a kick Smash Burger - their award winning smash burger. Kids menu comes with nicely fried french fries. Garlic Fries - finally a place that does the name justice. A lot of restaurants will add fresh garlic to fries which winds up making them a little soggy. The garlic fries here are just as crispy as the regular. Hanapa's - the shrimp cocktail is more like a prawn (huge) and my favorite part, followed by the poke and the oyster shooter, which I thought were on the salty side. Great restaurant for a nice relaxing lunch. If you have a kid, the kid's menu is fantastic.

    Haven's started out with a small takeaway counter in Kihei which has since closed. They still have a food truck in Kahului and this latest brick & mortar in Ma'alaea's Maui Harbor Shops. ATMOSPHERE: They've taken over the former Beach Bums spot on the lower level. It's a spacious, open air eatery with a lively beach house vibe and has great views of the harbor and Haleakala. RESERVATIONS: Recommended as they were pretty busy on this particular Sunday night. PARKING: Free for kama'aina but a fee for everyone else. After 5pm it's free for all. DINNER MENU: American & Italian. BEVERAGE: La Perouse I'm guessing this is their version of a mule, which while tasty, didn't have a strong fizziness from the ginger beer. FOOD: Brussels Sprouts I normally wouldn't order this common app but it sounded good tonight, and tasted even better than I had imagined. No drizzle or sauce needed with its trifecta of sweet, savory and char flavors. Chelsea Farm Clams The delicate, savory broth was heavenly, with added smokiness from the Portuguese sausage slivers. Garlic Butter Fries Nom! The world's best fries have been crowned. Local Romaine Caesar A baby romaine caesar is few and far between nowadays. This version sported a more tangy dressing with light creaminess. Crispy Kanpachi Roll I'm not a sushi fan but this was insanely good. The rice to filling ratio was perfect as well. Local Style Mahi No kanpachi was available so mahi it was. Whenever I see fish done in a shoyu broth, it's an automatic order for me. I was surprised at the plating as the fish was presented in a bowl. But, it was necessary as the fish sat in a pool of the gingery, savory and tart broth, topped with sea asparagus (sea beans) and ogo (seaweed). SERVICE: My only gripe was the food delivery timing as the entrées came out while we were still enjoying the apps which crowded the table. Male server was okay and checked on us once. OVERALL: Average pricing, flavorful everything, good portion sizes. Highly recommended!

    Had a great dinner at Havens Harborside Fish & Chophouse, definitely one of the stronger meals I've had on Maui recently. We tried a range of dishes: these were a few of my favorites. The crispy kampachi roll was a standout to start, super fresh with the perfect crunch. The wagyu chow fun was my favorite of the night - rich and flavorful. The buttermilk fried chicken was done really well (crispy outside, juicy inside), and the whole fried fish with ginger scallion was clean and let the freshness shine. Also really liked the double duroc pork tomahawk, nicely cooked and tender, and the house-made mafaldine, which was deliciously rich and comforting. Service was great, welcoming and warm throughout. Overall, everything felt thoughtful and well executed. Located right at the Wharf, it's an easy stop after a day on the water. Definitely coming back.

    Five stars for Haven's Harborside. This may be my new favorite restaurant in Maui. Local food, casual high class dining, exceptional service, delicious local dishes! Connor, our server was amazing. He needs a raise! Excellent customer service and polished professional. The food here is good. Really good. Appetizers, Brussel Sprouts - A Wagyu Croquettes - B+ Main dishes: Local island caught black snapper served with pohole (island fern) and fresh ogo (sea weed). Amazing. Grade: A Risotto with added scallops. Grade A Smash burger with fries. Grade A You can eat your meal inside or outside. Both have beautiful views of the harbor. Everyone from the host to the manager to the bus staff to our amazing Connor - they all made it an amazing experience.

    Fish n chips (Happy hour)

    I recently had the chance to check out the Haven's Harborside Fish & Chophouse in Maalaea, and it was a total surprise--in the best way. If you remember the space from before, they took over the previous Beach Bums BBQ, you'll know it had a bit of a dark and dated feel. Not anymore! The restaurant has been completely transformed into a bright, modern, and inviting spot with colorful touches that give it a fresh, modern island vibe. My coworkers and I went for happy hour, which runs daily from 3 to 5 p.m., and it turned out to be the perfect setting for a casual celebration. The happy hour menu provided a variety of choices. There seems to be a strong focus on sustainability as they work closely with local fishermen and suppliers to source only the freshest, ethically caught seafood which makes an appearance in about half of the items on the menu. They do offer a kamaaina discount as well if you sit up at the bar. However, we opted for a table during this visit. We ordered a little bit of everything from the happy hour options, and there were few standout dishes. The NY steak pupu, fish & chips, and chilled black tiger shrimp were all hits--fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. We also tried the truffle fries, poi falafel, and spicy tuna rice cakes. The falafel was just okay, and while I didn't personally try the rice cakes, my coworkers thought they were a bit too hard and not quite balanced in flavor. For drinks, I had the Baldwin Beach mocktail, which was refreshing and perfect for the warm Maui afternoon. My coworkers opted for cocktails, which they described as strong and spot-on for our celebratory mood. It's always nice when a place nails both food and drinks, and Haven's delivered. Service was another high point--friendly, attentive, and efficient--and the happy hour prices felt more than fair for the quality. It's great to see this spot not only refreshed in atmosphere but also delivering on taste and experience. If you're in Maalaea and looking for a place to unwind, celebrate, or just enjoy a solid happy hour with good food and drinks, Haven's Harborside is definitely worth a visit.

    Omg! The concierge at our hotel recommended this place. Wow! So happy she did. Got fried chicken and mushroom risotto. Could not have been any better. This place is phenomenal! Don't sleep on it! Go! Now!

    Haven's Harborside feels fresh and new, In Maʻalaea Harbor with a gorgeous view. Across from the charters, the setting is prime, Seafood and flavors that truly shine. Wagyu croquettes, a tapa redefined, Brussels and potatoes, crisp and aligned. Our Rodbender Ono and Mahi Mahi catch became quite the feat, Two family-style dishes, sauces complete. Indoors or out, the vibe is refined, Resort-style dress with fine dining in mind. Service was stellar, the flavors divine, A Maui gem where seafood meets design.

    The burger was pretty good, and it came out relatively fast! I would definitely return to try more items.

    We popped into Havens for happy hour and it ended up being my favorite meal on Maui. People kept steering us to the sit-down pizza spot, but Havens quietly punches way above its weight. The oyster shooter was a standout. Super fresh with a pepper-infused kick, lemon, and that clean ocean taste. I was melting from the heat and it still hit. The Burger scratched the burger itch too -- melty cheese with that easy pull and a satisfying, juicy bite. I don't remember the fries, which tells me they were fine, nothing wild. The steak was the showstopper. Tender, medium-rare steak with green onion over that chewy-tasty base, super balanced and just delicious. $26. Service deserves love. Our server kept checking on me and refilling waters while I was basically overheating, and she was so kind about it. Absolute legend. Overall, clutch spot, great value at happy hour, and food that actually sticks with you. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Seating was cute with a view of the harbor.

    Buttermilk fried chicken
    Ron H.

    Haven's Harborside had very delicious seafood! We ordered the poi falafel, crab mac and cheese, deluxe smashburger and fries, prawn special, buttermilk fried chicken,, and special drinks. The seafood tasted amazing and the prawns were fresh, sweet, and, succulent. The prawns were perfectly cooked and the acidic tomato sauce and pomme puree complimented the dish. The drinks were good- the Mai tai's, mango spritz's, wine, and more. The fried chicken and burger were very delicious with the special sauce on the burger and the nice mix of dipping the chicken in their smooth potato purée and Asian-inspired dipping sauce. The outdoor seating was pleasant on the harbor. Overall, this place was amazing and will get your mouths snapping when you try their food.

The outdoor seating is refreshingly simple, but once you step inside, it's pure vibe. There's a thoughtful design touch to everything--from the mid-century glassware to the way each drink seems to have its own personality. They're not just slinging cocktails here; they're crafting an experience. I ordered the VOG CUTTER--Pisco, watermelon, lemon, absinthe, cubeb bitters--and it came topped with a pickled watermelon garnish. I'm usually not an absinthe fan, but this drink was perfectly balanced, bright and herbal with just enough edge. It landed squarely in the "perfect cocktail" category for me. My partner had the Velvet Elvis and was equally impressed. We both kept commenting on how varied and intentional the drinkware was--punch cups, tea glasses, you name it. It makes everything feel more special. The bartender was sharp, friendly, and clearly knew the menu inside and out--eager to help guide us through the options and talk about the thought behind each drink. At one point, a child wandered in by mistake (Esters is 21+ due to its bar zoning), and the bartender gently asked them to leave--but not before handing over a vanilla wafer as a parting gift. One of my favorite touches? The name. There's actually a thoughtful explanation printed right on the menu: "Esters are natural compounds that are created through chemical reactions during fermentation. Esters give a diverse range of aromas and flavors to rum." It's a subtle homage to the science of spirits--and it fits perfectly with the experience Esters delivers. If you're looking for a cocktail bar that hits on every level--drinks, vibe, service--Esters Fair Prospect is the move.

In general, their pizza stands out because there is not too much crust. It was not crispy, but instead airy and on the doughy side. The reason I am giving 3 stars instead of 5 is because one of our group members found a blonde hair baked into his pizza slice, not just sitting on top. That was disappointing, especially since the pizza itself was actually very good.
