    Jason's delicious Ahi Poké appetizer.
    David F.

    Jason Raffin is a very talented chef. He prepared a Christmas Dinner for my family here in Maui last night that could only be described as exquisite. There were three courses, an appetizer, main course, and dessert. The appetizer, a poké with a secret sauce, was a sublimely tantalizing introduction of what was to come, the main course. The main course was a filet mignon and greens on a sweet potato bed that had flavor I've never experienced before. The filet was melt in your mouth delicioso. The dessert was a selection of three expertly crafted delights. Jason and his assistant David prepared the meal quickly in our resort kitchen, and after the meal we had a friendly conversation and after a quick clean up they were off to their next adventure.

    Jason catered for our family of 6. Absolutely fantastic courses. Jasons a true professional. We are a family of cooks and were blown away at the level that Jason brought. Delicious dumpling paired with savory sauces, seared ahi and the most amazing sweet potato gnocchi. This was easily a 5 star meal. Would give more stars if i could!

    Ahi tuna tartar
    Heather R.

    I had Jason cook a 4 course meal for my my birthday dinner back in July, not only was he professional timely and prepared, the execution of his food was incredible. You can tell that he really cares about everything he puts on a plate. The tuna tartar we had as an appetizer was the best I have had on the island and dessert was an amazing flourless chocolate cake sensitive to my dietary restrictions. He really is great at designing a menu to suit the needs of your group as there was something for everyone at my small gathering. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and his food is AMAZING. I,'d rather have him cook for me than go out to dinner here on Maui, Definitely a must experience.

Being from Malibu, CA with amazing restaurants like Nobu within a 5 minute drive we certainly know fine dining cuisine, Fresh Island Catering is by far the best food I've ever eaten. Fresh fish, fantastic ingredients, great combinations of flavors, filling portions, immaculate plating. I can't say enough positive things about our dining experiences with Chef!

    I have had the pleasure of experiencing Fresh Island Catering on two separate occasions while…read morevisiting Maui. The best way to describe it is, intimate fine dining. Chef Josh and his staff come to your house or condo and prepare an amazing dining experience right in front of you. You can either sit and watch all the amazing food being made, or visit among friends and family while it is being prepared. If you wish to watch, Chef and his staff will engage in conversation with you while cooking and serving the delicious courses they are making. For our 2 amazing experiences there were signature drinks which were flavorful and refreshing. It is a succulent, intimate and personal experience for you and your loved ones that you will never forget. The food is as good as any I have ever had, maybe a little better because of the experience that comes with it. Chef will go over the menu when you make a reservation. I have had two dinners, however they also do a brunch which we plan on trying next time we visit. I unfortunately did not take pictures either time because I was at family functions both times and we did not have our phones with us, my photo is the amazing meal we had at our second dinner. This is an amazing experience that I highly recommend.

    Kathy and I have taken cooking classes on several of our trips, so we were excited to experience a…read morefarm-to-table class while in Maui -- not quite knowing what to expect. With the top down in our rented BMW, the drive to the farm was magnificent and set the perfect tone for the day. When we arrived, we were greeted at the gate by Jake, who welcomed us as we waited for the rest of the guests. Once inside the open-air kitchen, Whitney warmly introduced herself and gave us a brief overview of the schedule. Jake then shared an introduction to the land and his farming philosophy. As a former finance manager, I appreciated how clearly he understood both the economics and the regenerative methods that make the farm sustainable and healthy. We began with introductions, sharing where we were from, our names, and what we were grateful for which created an immediate sense of community. Jake then guided us on a tour of the farm, walking us through the plants and trees that would soon become our lunch. We tasted herbs, vegetables, and fruit straight from the earth. His depth of knowledge, from soil health to post-harvest practices was impressive, and he thoughtfully answered every question. After the tour, we moved into meal preparation. Family-style, we chopped, stirred, whisked, and even made our own tortillas. The fresh salsa had a wonderful bite, and preparing the vegetables and eggs ourselves made the meal even more satisfying. To top it all off, we enjoyed a homemade vegan ice cream made with fresh fruit from the farm, the perfect ending. Jake and Whitney were gracious, kind hosts who mingled easily with the group and created an environment that was both educational and welcoming. We highly recommend this class. It was not only delicious, but deeply informative and memorable.

    Highly recommend Jacob and Kendell at Maui Gourmet Food. They are truly the best at what they do!…read moreThey are both incredibly kind and hospitable and down to earth. They made our whole family feel so relaxed and comfortable. That was just the start! Then the personalized courses were served. Jacob is a talented, creative and artistic chef!! Everything was above and beyond amazing and delicious. The presentation was beautiful. We all couldn't stop talking about how delicious each dish was. We can't recommend Maui Gourmet Food enough for any of your private chef needs! They are a class act!! Thank you for everything Jacob and Kendell!

    We waited too long on our first night in Hawaii to decide where to eat. Hubby pulled up the Yelp…read moreapp, put in sushi and this food truck came up as still open at 7:30 pm. We decided to hit the road and find it. Lucky we did! It was open, there was no line. It had a great assortment of rolls and a good number of options for nigiri. We got 4-5 rolls and some nigiri and a poke bowl. It was all freshly made, perfectly rolled and came out at the time told to us, about 15 minutes. We ate it in the car- we didn't notice the ants in the table until after we sat down to wait for about 10 minutes. I followed them on instagram and they posted our order. So cool! We went back one more time during our trip.

We stopped by on a Monday night around 7:30 pm after doing the road to Hana. They had some Whitney Houston and Shakira bumpin, some cute garden lights, and three outdoor picnic tables for diners. We ordered and had to fill up on gas, so we picked up some drinks from the nearby gas station and got back to wait for the food. The server said it would take about 15 minutes, and I think that was pretty accurate. We ended up ordering the following: Salmon Nigiri - 3/5 this was a little bit more salty than I normally expect of my nigiri. Spicy California Roll - 5/5 tasted like a fresh California roll with some spicy mayo on it. It wasn't very spicy though? Mild enough for the non-spice lovers. Tempura Roll - 5/5 this was probably my favorite roll. It was simple yet delicious. You can't ever go wrong with unagi sauce. Smash Roll - 4/5 the smash roll was really good. It had a good, well-rounded taste with the tuna and salmon. This was my husband's favorite roll. If you're feeling like you need some good Asian-American sushi, check out Smash Maui! It's going to hit!
