Bar atmosphere with tables on the beach. Note, there are a lot of pesty birds. If that doesn't bother you, good music playing in the evenings, Hawaiian beach vibe.

Wonderful atmosphere and hideaway from the tourist traps in Lahaina. Love breakfast, lunch and dinner. Torch lighting at sundown. Reservations are a good idea. Sometimes they have live music in the evenings. Check first.

We had the best fish meal on the island here for a reasonable price. They catch the fish and cook it. Grow their own vegetables organically. Bakery on site. Way better than Mama's Fish House, which we do not recommend. Portions twice the size for one forth of the price.

Great Island vibe, but difficult to get reservations but very special. If you want to try and get a reservation, try going there as soon as you arrive on the island and ask if there are any cancelations or if you can be added to the cancelation list.
