    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 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.

    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.

    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

    Wonderful lunch with SU SU

    Wonderful lunch had the mahi fish sandwich ! But oh SU SU. ... she was a crack up . Felt so welcomed by her . This is what every server should be ! Wish we would have got a picture with her !

    The best part about this place was the views, coming at sunset gave us the most beautiful ocean side experience. The seafood was very good and very unique as well. The service felt a little rushed though.

    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.

    I hope this place stays here forever because I will always be coming back. Liza is a great bartender and JP is a legit bar manager. Always takes care of what needs taking care of.

    Happy hour 2-4:45 for late lunchers. Appetizers size food and drink menu View is awesome in the shade. Quick service. Relaxing ambiance. There is parking for the restaurant too. E ordered poke nacho, smash burger slider and hurricane fries. Small portion but juicy and yummy. Fries are a little bit too salty. Don't pass up the opportunity if you around Kapalua, Napili around the time

    Corned Beef Hash
    Art C.

    Sea House serves up a great Corned Beef Hash and Eggs dish for breakfast. It had very well prepared homemade shredded corned beef with some chucks and flavorful fat. This was one of my favorite meals on this vacation to Maui. Service was excellent and the view even more so. We sat inside the open-air dining room looking out over a beach, the ocean topped by a colorful rainbow. Paradise.

    Wonderful dinner! Had reservations and we were seated outside. Beautiful setting overlooking the water. Dianne was our server and she was attentive and personable. Had a few drinks: the Sea House Old Fashioned and Sea House Spritz were excellent Food was amazing--- very fresh and hard to choose. Lots of local fish choices... Ordered the scampi style mushrooms ( "shareables") , the special that night ( scallops, shrimp, and ?( I forgot), and macadamia nut crusted kanpachi with an incredible sauce... No dessert for us. Prices were reasonable. Truly an amazing dinner. Highly recommend.

    Sweet Potato Frittata with Sriracha sauce
    Tracy C.

    Saturday brunch at the bar watching the waves crash into Napili Bay, made even better with great service. We always get the bennies and hubs kept the tradition going with their basic bennie with ham and hollandaise. I decided to try something different as I always order the veggie bennie, so I chose the sweet potato frittata in a sriracha sauce. It looks a little like a layered lasagna but with egg, cheese and sweet potato instead. The sauce was odd though, hence the star off. The chipotle hollandaise is great on the bennies, but this sriracha sauce was too sweet, almost like a dessert, without much of a hit of chilli. It tasted like an overly sweet spaghetti sauce with a dash of sriracha. Not my fave. But the frittata was delish with plenty of Molokai sweet purple potato which I enjoy. Hubs bennie was classic and like magic it disappeared! The veggie bennie used to be $15 but it has gone up to $17 recently, but you still get Kamaaina rates if you have a HI license. I really like this local restaurant on Napili Bay, especially brunch or happy hour at the bar.

The setting alone is stunning--overlooking the Kapalua golf course with gorgeous ocean views--but the food absolutely lived up to the scenery. We started with a fresh house salad, which was simple but perfectly dressed and a great way to kick things off. For entrées: * My husband ordered the short rib, which was incredibly tender and rich with flavor. The sauce paired perfectly with the creamy mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. * My oldest son had the prime rib, and it was cooked beautifully with a great sear and topped with asparagus and a flavorful butter. * I chose the shrimp scampi, which was buttery, garlicky, and packed with shrimp. The pasta was coated in the most delicious creamy sauce and even came with toasted bread to soak up every bit of it. * My younger two ordered from the kids menu--the kids short rib and butter-and-cheese fettuccini--and both plates were generous and surprisingly elevated for kids' meals. Everything we ordered came out looking beautiful and tasting just as good. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the whole experience felt relaxed but still upscale. If you're visiting Maui and want a spot that delivers great food, amazing views, and works well for families, The Plantation House is absolutely worth the reservation.
