MaMa’s is fabulous. Worth the money. Food, service, ambiance, decor, it is superb. The view is gorgeous even on an overcast day. If it is a special occasion they have a personal greeting at your table.

My husband and I booked this reservation months in advance for our trip to Maui. We ended up doing a later lunch reservation (1:30 ish) and it was perfect. We had a phenomenal view of the beautiful beach. The food was delicious and the atmosphere...was top notch. This is definitely a must do if you can!More

Most amazing meal we have had on the island!!! Everything from the drinks, to food, to atmosphere is top notch. You have to try and make a reservation here.

Make a reservation as soon as you book your trip! We did not, but checked their availability twice a day for two months and finally lucked out with a 8:30pm reservation on our first day in Maui. We arrived to mandatory and complementary valet parking,...followed by a short walk along the side of the restaurant to get to the host desk. All staff along the way were great! Our server was amazing! Knowledgeable about the menu items and had recommendations ready. It was fine dining made comfortable by friendly staff in Hawaiian shirts. I’m not usually a fan of eating fish, but my mahi mahi was delicious. And save room for dessert! The menu changes daily to match what is fresh and available, so don’t plan your meal ahead of time.More

Outstanding food and service! We went at lunch time. We had the tomato salad and the crab and lobster stuffed fish along with a lobster tail and prawns. Our waitress, Bree recommended the entree. I’m so happy we listened to her. The service was above...our expectations. By far the best meal on Maui!More

Mama's came highly recommended, but nothing could prepare us for the most amazing lunch of our trip. First of all, the decor. Just fantastic. Second, the personal greeting on our table, congratulating us on our 30th anniversary. Third, the impeccable and friendly service — it's...like a beautiful dance among the servers. Fourth, the fish! THE FISH! OMG! Fourth, WAIT. I forgot the amuse bouche: the delightful little cup of roasted tomato-ginger soup and mini loaf of whole wheat poppyseed bread. Surprise and delight! Fifth, the dessert. Pineapple crisp? I don't even know my name anymore. Sixth, the view. Stunning. Valet parking made it easy to get in and out. There's a great beach nearby where sea turtles sunbathe. Mama's Fish House is just absolutely glorious. Hands down, our fave spot in Maui.More

We were blown away by the view, hospitality and food. The curry was to die for! Worth the price for a special meal. We were able to snag a last minute reservation and we jumped on it because we didn’t want to go to Maui...and not go to Mama’s! Such a great experience!More

We went in honor of our anniversary, and were greeted with anniversary wishes by each server and on our table. Everything is beautiful. Service is top notch. And the food is a symphony of flavors and art woven together. There's biqye and bread; then we...had crab cakes and shrimp wontons; followed by fish soup and a salad; then sea food stuffed fish and lobster, and salmon. And of course, the pearl dessert which wad accompanied by a gifted anniversary dessert. Lastly, fresh warm almond scented cloths to freshen up with and a palette cleansing coconut treat. We were absolutely stuffed. Total bill was $300. Most of our tours have cost that much. This is a truly worthwhile experience.More

We go to Maui every two years and this is the third time our family has enjoyed Mama's Fish House. Our waiter Eric was very informative and did a great job with suggestions and knowing when to check in. Loved the octopus dish and crab...cakes and the highly recommend the kanpachi entree - there is a reason it is always on the menu! While the Polynesian Black Pearl is a beautiful looking dessert and quite tasty, our favorite dessert is the Banana Macadamia Nut Crisp. Can't wait to go back! ...as others noted, you should make reservations 6 months in advance.More

Mama's is always our most delicious meal while we are on Maui. The setting on a small pristine beach is idyllic. The service is excellent as is the food. There are many good choices on the wine list. It is almost impossible to get a...reservation online so call and they will often fit you in. We never miss having a meal at Mama's when we are on the island.More

Lovely beach setting. Friends told us about this place and it was hard to get into. We did lunch instead of dinner, which was fine. There were turtles lying on the beach. You are greeted by a wonderful staff and service was outstanding. Food was...fresh and delicious. My husband had the shrimp and I had crab cakes. Highly recommend.More

There’s plenty of good seafood to be found on Maui, and Mama’s Fish House was billed to be the best of the best, where reservations as much as 3 months in advance are needed. That said, I’m not sure we’d do this again. Sure, the...atmosphere is beautiful, a breezy beachfront open air restaurant with attentive, professional (but a bit slow) service. Once the food arrived, we found it pretty good and well-presented, but Mama’s Fish House might be a victim of its own hype and fell a bit short of our sky-high expectations.More

Waited over 1/2 hour beyond reservation time. Beautiful restaurant with an amazing view. Service attentive at all times. Very pricey - not an exceptional meal. Would go back for cocktails.

The restaurant was charming and the service was excellent. The beach in front of the restaurant was gorgeous! The food wasn't quite as good as I had hoped, but I really enjoyed the evening. Dinner for two with a drink and desserts was over $300.00.
