    My view.

    It's one of my favorite restaurants the best view. It's on the ocean. Wonderful Service. Great prices. We love chief Alex!

    Went out with family to try this out really nice beach side view from the restaurant. They also had a nice waiting area in the inside for us to wait in. Our waitress was very nice and was attentive to all of our needs. I enjoyed the mocktail I got. As for the the starters the rolls were alright and the fried calamari was good. The poke nachos were soggy and fell apart. The entrees were okay nothing really stands out for me. I really did enjoy their ice cream pie desert that was a highlight for me.

    OMG I found my happy spot. Was searching for a scenic place for happy hour. Located in the Kapalua area just north of Lahaina, parking is easy and the views are breathtaking. Expect to wait to be seated for happy hour which runs at an early 2:00 - 4:45. I came by myself since daughter wanted to hang out at the beach, which is also walking distance. There is a waiting area in the back while you wait for a table. I sat back there for a while but then checked in the main dining area and lo and behold, a high table opened up. I recommend sitting here for a better view of the ocean. Beer on draft for happy hour is an affordable $7 and features local ales. I got the Kona Light Blonde Ale which went well with the poke nachos ($14) and calamari ($9) that I ordered. The poke nachos consisted of three chips topped with fresh poke. So don't expect nachos in the classic sense! The calamari was a bit more substantial with a furikake crust. Sea House restaurant lived up to being a happy hour indeed.

    Came on a Thursday at 3:30PM for happy hour and had no wait for a seat on the outdoor patio. We got the chicken wings (sweet and sticky with good flavor), crispy calamari (we liked that they were strips ~ our favorite), kalua pork tacos (pretty good size for happy hour!), sliders (beef patty's with kalua pork ~ the pork flavor overpowered the rest of the burger) and hurricane fries (these were okay, the only one I'd skip if we went again). View from this place is the best beach views ~ you're right on the sand

    I love seafood, if you knew me, it would be an understatement. I however can't eat pork. Every dish on the menu, except for a very select few all has it. Tonight to get a different sauce for a pasta dish wasn't worth the fight, so I ate it "as is". The food is 4 stars, service as attentive as our souix server (water refills) was on point, our actual waiter was a little off... The ambiance is why you come here. I'd give it 6 stars as the ambiance is that stunning!

    We attended the Keiki children's Hawaiian dance show at the Napili Kai resort next-door and then we saw the sunset and then had dinner. It worked out perfectly. The staff was very friendly and nice and I thought the food was good. The strawberry salad was so delicious- they do not have air-conditioning but it's right there on the beach a family restaurant overall it was a great experience.

    While in Maui celebrating one of my favorite humans, he chose Sea House Restaurant. He's not afraid to uber to eat well! Day two we ventured! The Sea House delivers one of the most effortlessly beautiful dining experiences on Maui. Set right on Napili Bay, the open‑air setting gives you sweeping ocean views and that calm, breezy atmosphere that makes every meal feel like a moment. The ambiance alone while looking right into the ocean is breathtaking. Service is friendly in that effortless Maui way: warm, relaxed, and genuinely attentive. You feel taken care of. So much beauty yet just 3 stars? Yes, we may have ordered the wrong items. Let's get into it! Calamari- We thought they were cheese sticks. We learned that it's a different part of the squid, it's the body part! Known in Hawaii and served as such! Who knew! Mahi Mahi Sandwich-blackened mahi on a brioche bun. Mine was chewy, super chewy I almost thought they brought me chicken. Did not like at all! Crab Club- He chose this because we love crab and maybe we should have known we are spoiled living in DC-Maryland-VA, he ate it but I didn't get any ooohs or ahhhhs from him and he never reviewed the place, so yeah no bueno. Our drinks were just okay, I'd come back to try more items and possibly at dinner or breakfast because that is what they are known for!

    update next day: We had guests come for an afternoon snorkel and then happy hour here. This is really the best appetizers, so the 6 of us ordered one of each most of the menu. it's a short menu. Worked out great , we all shared. Lots of laughter , we ate on the patio facing the sea. Mahalo

    We had reservations around 7:30 , but was seated early. Service from Megan was great, gave us some water and some bread then mentioned the Saturday evening special of Prime Rib, We opted for the King cut to share, and ordered their calamari and some cocktails, ambience of the place was on the waterfront, but you have to walk a path before you get to the actual restaurant. We'll be back when we go back to Maui again.

    Had the most amazing time here! Food was great, service superb & views were beautiful!

    Caramel Macchiato Ice Cream Pie
    Brianna V.

    Had the absolute best experience at the sea House restaurant with my family while visiting Maui! The service was excellent and definitely go right before sunset to get a nice golden hour photo on the beach. I got the macadamia nut kanpachi 10/10 so so good! The calamari was a good appetizer as well! Our server was amazing & recommended the ice cream pie for dessert! Overall the best meal we had in Maui, excited to visit again soon!

    Did some exploring on Yelp and the Sea House came up and after researching wanted to give it a try. Really wanted something special for our final days on the island of Maui. I made a reservation but wanted to get there way early to walk around and grab a cocktail before we sat down. What a great location overlooking the beach and a small bay. The staff was friendly, helpful and very accommodating and because we were way early for our reservation they gave us the option of sitting at the bar and dining. What a fabulous idea because the view was incredible, with open air surrounding the bar. Victor our server and the bartender was very friendly and took great care of us. We were able to enjoy our meal and take in another spectacular Maui sunset from where we sat. Cocktails were their own spin on some regulars and very refreshing. The Sashimi was so fresh it could literally melt in your mouth, wedge salad was Perfect to share and very good. The onion soup had a unique flavor and I wasn't sure if it was the local Maui onions that gave it that uniqueness but it was delicious. My entree was incredible, I am pretty sure this was the first time I have had Monchong fish, but it was so moist and flaky and then to put a pesto crusting on it just made it "Ono" served on a bed of risotto. Crazy good-well done Chef you knocked this one out of the park. Coconut shrimp was cooked perfectly and made with the larger count shrimp, served with the perfect Chili Tai sauce. We really wanted to dine at a place that had that old school charm, and we found it here at Sea House. Live Hawaiian style music in the background by a solo artist completed our dining experience. A "fantabulous" evening done with class set in a beautiful natural theatre. Bravissimo Sea House you made the evening special. When on the Kaanapali coast and you want that classic dining experience this is your place, BUT make a reservation.

    Napili was not the first beach I visited on this day but it was the beach I was at when realizing that part of the lunch we'd planned to pack had not been packed. Lucky for me that Sea House Restaurant was a short stroll across the sands of Napili. Sitting like a beacon, inviting you to end your day here, Sea House Restaurant is a place you can walk into sandy. I did, was told there'd be a wait for a table, and went out to a back patio to wait. Soon I was summoned: "we have seats at the bar". At first I was saddened, thinking I wanted a table, then sat at the bar only to realize it was the best seating in the place. Just look at that view. Happy hour here is good, as is service. We enjoyed: * Poke Nachos ($14) * Caesar Salad ($8) * Hurricane Fries ($7) * Mai Tais, and Aloha Bites (cocktails, $12 apiece) * Lahaina Haze IPA ($7) There's actually parking here, for those not just wandering over from the beach. If you find yourself in the Napili area at happy hour (2-4:45) don't leave it to chance: request a seat at the bar.

    Ask the Community - Sea House Restaurant

    Is there parking available?

    Yes . We've always parked in the hotel parking if a spot was available to go to the restaurant or you can park along the road.

    Is this restaurant kid friendly? Do they offer high chairs?

    Yes they have high chairs and kids are definitely welcome. If you're staying at Napili Kai, kids under 10, I believe, will get their meal free if an adult orders a main entree and if the kid orders from the kids menu.… 

    Does anyone know the name of the musician who is there multiple nights a week and sings "O Mahalo"? Thanks in advance!

    Sorry I don't but just call the Sea House and ask or call the Nāpili Kai, they would probably know.

    Is Happy Hour only served in the bar area?

    Yes - but the bar area has some high top and regular tables in addition to bar seating The dining… 

    Do you need to pay for parking at the restaurant?

    Aloha, parking is complimentary. thank you

    Do I need reservations for breakfast?

    Always a good idea as crowds fluctuate and they socially distance tables.

Very casual service. We ordered: Mahi Mahi Lemon Caper Sautée: 1/10 The fish just tasted extremely bland not fresh tough and the lemon sauce just made it wet but added in no flavor as well. Rice was mushy tasted overcooked Mac salad was decent but not the traditional Mac salad flavor. Kung Pao Chicken: 2/10 Small pieces of chicken mostly fried so very little chicken this dish had a good amount of flavor because it was sweet. Chicken and shrimp fried rice: 1/10 Rice was so mushy quality and freshness is just not there. Overall this was not our best meal in Maui I had seen the mixed reviews and wanted to give it a try unfortunately I would no eat here again just because it was not just one dish that lacked quality freshness and flavor it was everything I ordered.

I had the grilled Ono, and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It was one of those meals you're still thinking about afterward. My husband had the Chef's Tasting Menu and loved everything. He started with the seafood potstickers and Caesar salad, followed by the macadamia nut-crusted mahi mahi. The mahi mahi was gorgeous and cooked perfectly, and the macadamia crust made it something special. What we really appreciate about Hula Grill is that it delivers the whole Maui experience: wonderful fresh seafood, beautiful presentation, a relaxed atmosphere, and food that is genuinely memorable. Coming back a second time on the same vacation says a lot when there are so many restaurants to choose from on Maui. Hula Grill has definitely earned a place on our "must return" list.
