A good choice for a seafood lunch, the Maui Ocean Center's signature restaurant offers harbor views from its open-air perch above the parking lot. On the back wall, giant windows look into the famous aquarium's Edge of the Reef exhibit. Two popular dishes are the Local Boy club, a triple-decker sandwich with layers of lobster and shrimp salads in dill aioli; and the Molokini, grilled sashimi grade ahi with shiitake mushrooms and sun-dried tomato buerre blanc. Dining here is a heart-healthful, ocean-friendly experience featuring sustainable seafood and trans-fat-free items. Kids love their own menu. Aquarium admission is not required; ask directions at the front gate.
