Great food and a perfect location for a cold drink and yummy seafood. Stopped for some fish tacos during a sunny afternoon walk in Lahaina. Busy location with outdoor seating and live music. Good menu selection for adults and kids. Fish tacos were yummy and...fresh. Nice to have cook options of the fish (I.e battered, grilled, etc). Fair prices and a really great location on the strip. Will definitely be back.More

I will start off by saying how devasting it was to hear of the fire. We were there on Monday, right before the fires. The staff were so pleasant and the service was quick. The food was so yummy and although everything was pricy, it...was worth the cost.More

Such delicious food and fun atmosphere! Just heartbroken for you all that it's burned!! Prayers that everyone is safe and you will be able to come back. Of course if you'd like to raise money, I'd buy your Lava Lava Shrimp recipe!

Fun place to stumble upon and great food! We docked in Lahaina and just walked around the local area and were so pleased to find Down The Hatch. There was a large selection for breakfast, including a fair amount of vegetarian options. Both our dishes...came with potatoes which were amazing! They were so tasty and a great addition. There was also live music playing that morning, the guitarist and singer was very entertaining. It would have been great to return in the evening to try the vast cocktail selection too.More

This was a nice place but I did not care for the way you were seated. We stood in a pretty long line but that is not a big deal and to be expected because a lot of places have a line to get in....However, when you do get up the area where I thought they would seat us, you order up front (your whole meal...drinks, appetizers, and entree) and then they give you a number and the you have to fend for yourself to find a table. Then they bring your food out to you. So no server if we wanted more drinks, condiments, extra napkins...anything. We had to go get another drink at the bar and stand in line there. Overall, I would not return. The food was also just average.More

Good and fresh food in the center of Lahaina, not bad food by we think pricey for the place and the services they do. Like many restaurants in the center better to go more far from it.

This restaurant is incredibly loud and while technically "outside," had no air movement- so was uncomfortably hot. The food was meh. Cold brussel sprouts. Share a meal- it is very large servings. Service was fine. You order at a counter, they drop off your food....Not a place I’d revisit- HOWEVER- within this restaurant is an "Adult" Shave Ice place that I HIGHLY recommend!More

We went twice while in Maui for about a week and the food and drinks were delicious both times. The food tastes fresh and has nice little touches that tell you they take pride in their offerings. It just feels unique and like you are...eating food that you wouldn't easily find on the mainland. They have a good happy hour selection (the Lava Flows were my favorite drink) and the ambience is really cool. Koi pond, music, surrounded by shops, open air... super cool even if it doesn't have a beach view. When we go back to Maui we will go again, perhaps more than once.More

This restaurant has a fun vibe right on front st. The food was good, nothing spectacular. Service was good for the little interaction you have with staff. You order at a counter, someone brings you your food and that’s it. You need anything else good...luck findings someone. Want another drink head to the bar yourself to get it. Worth trying but not a place I’d revisit.More

The setup is pretty efficient. You order before sitting and the food arrives promptly, for the most part. On our first visit, six of the orders were delivered within ten minutes of ordering, but the one salad took another 25 minutes. On our second visit,...all received their order in a few minutes.More

Excellent food within 3 miles of most of the Ka’anapali resorts - great tasting food (better than some of the resort restaurants) and far more affordable.
