Kinda bummed tonight! Came for happy hour...no candle was in candle place holder... we asked for one and they brought. Had to ask for bread and butter. When bread and butter was served, we were still not served napkins or silverware. I had to take them from another table. Service was terrible tonight for happy hour!!!! Hubby had to ask for cholula, and server said he will try and get it!!! WTF??? Of course you had it, we had it last night. read more

Perfection start to finish. We ate here tonight during height of Kona storm - blowing, torrential rain, but clearly the chef was on point - food was delicious. Service even better. It was our last meal in Maui and memorable. We will definitely be back (hopefully on better weather on another visit). read more

Bartenders Chris and Eric are SPOT ON. They gave us a fantastic evening with their stories, jokes and recommendations.

We were fortunate to spend our final night in Maui at Nick's. From start to finish, the meal was outstanding. Our server Raiden, was knowledgeable, attentive, and welcoming. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. The ambiance was elegant and comfortable. read more

Fantastic, all the way around! Searched high and low for the perfect place to take my mom out for her birthday and I'm so glad we came here. I can't remember our waiters name but he was probably one of the best waiters I've ever had (and we eat at high end restaurants a lot). He really stood out. The food was great! My only complaint is the scallops dish was tiny, it did not fill me up but it was delicious! The fish entrees and specials portions were huge though! Drinks were also great and they comped a drink and a dessert for my mom for her bday. I wish you could see more of the water from the restaurant but you really just see the pool FYI water view is pretty limited. read more

My fiance and I came here based on a recommendation from some friends and Nick's was an EXCELLENT experience in an amazing location. Overlooking the beautiful Fairmont Kea Lani, the views are excellent. We were seated at an outdoor table, just in time to start watching the sun set. We started with the charred octopus an an appetizes, which was delicious. I had the Blood Orange Old Fashioned and she had the Mai Tai. For the main course, we both went with the special, the opakapaka. This is also recommended by our friend. It was AMAZING. Probably the best piece of fish I've ever had. Service was excellent from start to finish. This was the perfect spot for our fancy dinner while on Maui. It certainly wasn't cheap, but for a very special dinner, it was worth it. read more

We celebrated my BFF's Birthday tonight at Nick's Fishmarket and I am impressed with the service and food qualities. Our server Cyrus was excellent and the rest of the staff. Manager Chris has come to check in on us and such a wonderful man. My friends and I will definitely will go to dinner again. Thanks Cyrus, Chris and Staffs! read more

Great service. Outside dining with a great view. Food was very pricey and just below average. Filet was very small. Oysters were dry, no liquid. Odd. Do not recommend. read more

We have always gone to Nick's on every visit as we can walk from our condo AND the food is delicious. The food was on the whole very good. Started with Poke tacos. The polenta fries with the seared Ahi wasn't very good. An off choice to accompany the fish. Please reconsider this choice. The Moroccan spiced salmon was as good as I remembered it last time. Perfectly cooked and I replaced the forbidden rice with a Yukon gold mashed potato. We should have done that with the Ahi too. We also got the fish special which I think was Opah. Pretty good. The service was adequate but we did feel we were being rushed by our waiter Jack. Maybe it was a directive from the management but we are paying good money and want to enjoy our cocktails, appetizer, etc. the service as always top notch so we'll have to think carefully about returning in March read more

Steak and potatoes were cold. You could tell it had been sitting before they brought it out. Was very disappointed!! Servers were friendly but slow read more

Beautiful ambiance and amazing food. Wasn't sure what to get since they don't have scallops anymore!!! However we started with the oysters and black and blue ahi. Oysters have truffle ahi on top with a lilikoi mignonette. I did not like the lilikoi mignonette and thought it did not match. However the truffle ahi and the oyster was so delicious! The black and blue ahi was delicious by itself without the avocado guac. For entree we got the colossal shrimp with goat cheese ravioli and the lobster tail with bacon Mac and cheese. Both were good. The shrimp paired well the goat cheese and the pomegranate seeds! For dessert we decided on the creme brulee which was soooo good. Kinda rich but amazing rich flavor. It was my birthday so they also gifted a panna cotta that i also wanted! Thank you so much! It was basically a haupia panna cotta which I loved. Definitely would come back! read more

Nick's Fishmarket Maui offers a beautiful setting with stunning views of the ocean, creating a relaxing and picturesque atmosphere. When the sun begins to set there will be a torch-lighting ceremony and Nick's has the perfect view! The decor is elegant yet welcoming, making it perfect for both romantic dinners and special celebrations. The restaurant specializes in fresh seafood with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. Dishes such as Hawaiian-style poke, fresh fish tacos, and seafood platters are highly recommended. They also offer excellent steaks and Pacific Rim-inspired cuisine. The flavors are vibrant and well-executed, demonstrating high culinary standards. The service is top-notch, as you'd expect at the Fairmont. We look forward to eating at Nick's every year. Make a reservation as soon as you can. read more

Nick's is consistently a great dining experience. The location, atmosphere, menu and service are all first class.

We were completely blown away by the people that work at this establishment - first and foremost. We were immaculately cared for and were completely swept off our feet by our waiter Aundre. His knowledge of the menu, hospitality and chivalry were unmatched and he made us feel like family. As if the service wasn't impressive enough, the food was perfectly cooked and beyond flavorful. It was so impressive, we had the best Greek salad we've ever tasted (and I am Greek). I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, it is such a special place. We spent the second to last honey moon evening here and we were just blown away. We will absolutely be back, the ingredients, food, ambiance, service, is beyond impressive. read more

Wow! Incredible dinner at Nick's Fish Market. Watching the sunset from this beautiful restaurant was epic. Every dish was so delicious. Service was impeccable. Thank you for an amazing evening. read more

We called on Thursday evening around 7 and were told there was no availability for an hour. Went over anyway (we were 5 minutes away) we were seated within 5 minutes, which was weird, but good. Very nice ambiance. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the shrimp and scallops scampi with goat cheese tortellini. My husband ordered the ahi prepared the way the waiter recommended.The fish was perfectly cooked , but he felt the gravy served with it was too heavy. My tortellini was great, but I was very disappointed in the seafood. My scallops were chewy and the shrimp so overcooked they could barely be cut with a knife. I couldn't finish them. I let the waiter know and he did give us a discount, but didnt take my meal off the bill. I really wanted to like this place, but it just didn't hit the mark. read more

This place was very fancy and the food was decent, I would say the fish was overpriced but the sweet potato mash was yummy with the butter sauce. My favorite over all was probably the seared ahi as the appetizer. Drinks were good too, I would come again for drinks and a view since it was great for sunset time read more

This was our last dinner in Maui, and I was looking for someplace special. When I saw this listing, I managed to snag a reservation and we drove quickly to make it. This is in the Fairmont Hotel - at the bottom of the stairs to the left past the entrance and fountain. Our server was Chevis, who was the best server we have had in all of Maui. Attentive, positive, and he knew every detail on the menu and the specials, and could talk about them with enthusiasm. The rest of the staff was also attentive - the water glasses never ran dry once. This was our anniversary trip. We started by splitting a Caesar salad, which had roasted garlic on top. No anchovies, but the garlic did help. The single salad was big enough for two. My wife went with their pan-seared Ahi Tuna, and I chose their fresh catch Opakapaka, which was served on a bed of carrots and broccolini, in a bed of barley and capers. The fish was topped with a healthy dollop of tomatoes which had been boiled down all night, and provided a smooth taste to the fish. The presentation on all the courses was outstanding. We wrapped things up with a piece of cheesecake and a scoop of their in house made raspberry sorbet, both of which were fantastic. The restaurant also included a flan dish for our anniversary. Better than Spago? Service? Yes Food? Yes Price? Yes This place is really good. Get a reservation, and give it a try. read more

Absolutely delicious and the staff was amazing. So happy that we went here and will be back. The service, staff, good and ambiance was perfect. read more

This was awful. It's sad that a restaurant with such a great reputation for decades can't keep up. For the price of the food and drinks here, you are way better off going somewhere else. You can tell they aren't seeking out proper culinary experts and using good ingredients. Awful. read more

Our waiter was great, friendly, able to explain ingredients and make suggestions. I had the black and blue margarita which was a perfect evening drink. We started with the pork potstickers. I had the spicy Prawns with fun Choi and crispy rice cracker. The chili sauce was just the right amount of spiciness. The menu includes fresh fish of the day, mahi, steak, rack of lamb, chicken, so there is something for everyone. For dessert we had the macadamia nut brownie with vanilla ice cream, creme brulee and a bowl of chocolate ice cream. They were all yummy! Loved the outdoor seating and the view of the sunset. read more

Kinda Old School feel place, but we loved it. Service was great; the food was delicious, and the drinks were good. Great wine menu, too. The starters we tried were the Kaluha Pork Potstickers ( I loved them, wife thought they were just thought okay ), and the Strawberry Beet Salad ( which they so nicely split for us and we both loved! ). Pesto is the magic component in the salad and dish is 100% recommended!! For entrees, we chose macadamia crusted mahi and scallips with ricotta tortellini. Both dishes were excellent!! Perfect place to dine in Wailea!! read more

I don't generally write bad reviews, can't remember when the last might have been, but Nick's deserves a thumbs down for a high end dining experience. Clearly riding on its reputation not on its delivery. In fairness, the new Lobby restoration is gorgeous at the Fairmont and Nick's is a nice looking restaurant with a Plantation feel. I had the Ahi dish which was good, the presentation was lack luster, but the the taste was good. However, my wife had the Mahi Mahi dish. Mahi is a flaky , mild fish: Not the way prepared by Nick's. Over cooked, dry and actually difficult to cut. We told the waiter, and he said "Sorry." Told him to let the kitchen know, and when he returned, we were the told that the kitchen said: "Oh, well." Nick's did nothing, just presented the bill for $250. Too many other excellent restaurants in Wailea (Morimoto's is wonderful), just skip Nick's. Oh, well. Sorry. read more

Overall experience was 5 stars. Our waiter was amazing, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent food. We started with the sashimi appetizer and oysters followed by the Maui Wowie salad. It was great that they offer half size salads. The lamb chops were by far the best on Maui. We had 4 different desserts and all were fantastic. The only reason for the 4 star review instead of 5 stars was due to the filet mignon plates. The 2 men at our table ordered filets and both were TINY portions with a few roasted potatoes, 1 carrot, and 2 Brussels sprouts. At most the filets were 4 ounces. The size was particularly shocking compared to the lamb entrees that were very good sized portions. The men agreed that the filets tasted amazing, but were just too small compared to normal portion sizes. Regardless, I would highly recommend trying this restaurant. read more

We greatly enjoyed our astounding evening at Nick's! Front-to-back, all facets of the experience were top-shelf. Highly recommended without hesitation! read more

Fine dining at its best. Chef specials were amazing and the service was exceptional. Not cheap but well worth it. Fantastic sunset view.

Been coming here for years and it was always a treat. This time, the server, who looked quite disheveled and was sweating profusely, handed me a dirty iPad with the drink menu that looked like a Denny's menu with pictures. I had to ask for dinner menus, which were a cheap looking, dirty, laminated plastic. The whole thing was a big turnoff so we left and luckily got into Duo at the Four Seasons which was excellent. Nicks is no longer a top restaurant, really disappointing. read more

Came her to celebrate an occasion with my hubby. It was such a lovely experience! First of all, the ambience was perfect with open air setting overlooking the pool, garden and ocean. We were greeted by lovely staff and felt welcomed as soon as we were seated. Our server Mike was the best part of our experience. He explained the specials and was so knowledgeable about the food they were serving. Mike obviously enjoys his job, he is pro active and polite. We had the seafood chowder which was served with lots of crab and Hawaiian fish. So perfect! Then we had crab cakes which had fresh crab taste served with tartar sauce and lovely lemon salad. The seared diver scallops was served with goat cheese tortellini (perfect combination) and the citrus butter sauce was just delectable! The strawberry cheesecake was ok. We were surprised by an anniversary dessert which was really sweet. Definitely recommend this restaurant. A bit pricey, but it's Maui. Good to have a treat once in a while. We'll be back! read more

This setting was not what I had imagined when I heard "fish market," but the grounds blew me away! Before we were seated, we sampled some drinks and were not disappointed - the expresso martini and lava flow were favorites. Nick's served a four-course meal for my work team's celebration dinner. To start, we had crab cakes, seared bluefin tuna, and kalua pork dumplings. The Greek-style salad was so fresh! For entrees, I had to order the scallops with feta tortellini (decadent), but I heard great things from my table about the filet mignon, mahi mahi, and catch of the day. The strawberry panzini dessert might have been the most spectacular one I've seen in some time as the servers poured flames over the strawberries and chocolate. read more

Had a wonderful dinner at Nick's Fishmarket while staying at the Fairmont Kea Lani. The Calamari was a great appetizer to share and the Rack of Lamb stood out among the entrees we had. The service was terrific, especially from Avi who was one of main servers - he was friendly and helpful and quite an artist in presenting the Strawberries Panzini (which was excellent). Overall, one of the best dinners we had in Maui during our trip. read more

We visited Nicks a couple of times while staying in Wailea during Thanksgiving week and always sat at the bar since the restaurant was full. Chris and Eric were fabulous bartenders, made excellent drinks and provided the best service. We kept coming back to try new foods and drinks they would recommend for us. You also cannot beat the view from the bar of the sunset. We had the best time and will visit again next time we are in Maui! read more

An absolutely perfect experience. We ordered the Crab cakes, Oysters for appetizers and for main course the Monchong fish (catch of the day) and the Salmon. Every item we ordered were absolutely delicious but the Monchong with capers was the best, hands down ! The service, the views, as the sunsets over the pacific and the ambiance were all great. Special thanks to Bill who was our waiter for the evening, who was very energetic and al his recommendations were very helpful. Definitely we will be back whenever we return to Maui. read more

"World class cuisine" with "impeccable service" is used to describe Nick's Fishmarket. However, I'd question the impeccable service part as our experience was inadequate to the Nick's Fishmarket brand based on other reviews. The food is great but our experience left a bad impression for me. Biggest miss for me was our server and his lack of attentiveness. Came here for an early dinner on a Wednesday with a party of 5. Our server was hard to locate so when we needed a few extra items we ended up asking other servers around us for them. Might've been a one off experience but that was enough for me to know I won't be back. There are plenty of other options with great food and comparable prices if you're in the area. read more

Discovering another place that thrives by serving fresh seafood and amazingly fresh fruit cocktails (with no artificial trash) makes my heart sing. It is such a joy to go to places that actually pride themselves in having organic and fresh ingredients, no fillers or what not. The scenery is gorgeous and again, the waitstaff is beyond friendly and amazing. read more

During our stay at the Fairmont Kea Lani, we had occasion to dine at both Nick's Fishmarket and the hotel's signature restaurant, Ko. My wife and I both much prefer Nick's Fishmarket. The food at both restaurants is superb. Everything else about Nick's is superior. The greeting and seating was flawless. Even though we had a party of six, the hostess showed us to our table and made sure that the table they had arranged for us would be satisfactory. Service was also spot on. Though the appetizers were served a tad before we finished cocktails, the remainder of the service was perfect. At every turn, the wait staff was available if needed, not at all intrusive, and made sure the timing of the service was appropriate. Nick's is the type of restaurant I could eat at regularly. If we return to Maui, Nick's will be a reservation we make again. read more
