Fodor's Review:

French-born owner and top Lahaina chef Gerard Reversade honors the French tradition yet adds an island twist in such exquisite appetizers as shrimp sautéed in hazelnut oil, and ahi and smoked salmon carpaccio with lemon Chantilly. The rack of lamb Persillade offers a mint and lemon jus crust and is served with potatoes au gratin and stuffed tomatoes. You will be in heaven with the pineapple tart tatin à la mode. Located in the Plantation Inn, Gerard's resembles a country estate with balustrades and gingerbread latticework. Antique furnishings and wallpaper along with a wide veranda for dining make this perfect for special occasions. A first-class wine list and celebrity-spotting round out the experience.

My wife and I dine out often, and after deciding Gerard's was our best meal on Maui, we also found it to be the best we have had anywhere. We have had ahi tartar at many eateries and his is hands down the best.The spinach salad w/ scallops, again the best. My dish I get anywhere that offers it,rack of lamb, undoubtedly the most memorable rack I've EVER had. My wife had the pork tenderloin. Every component on the plate was perfect,rhubarb compote,roasted banana, sweet potato sticks,YUMMM!!! Homemade sorbet and chocolate mousse to finish along with a visit from Gerard himself at the end of the meal to say hello and check on us was truly special. Next time we are in Maui we will make at least two reservations!!

Great service from the start. Teaser dish had little flavor - a big surprise! Main course was very good but appetizer and salads were average. One good thing - they have a parking lot. Imagine that for Lahaina!

Gerard's is setup in a lovely plantation house with tables spilling over from the patio to the gardens.
Try the Yellow Fin Tuna and Smoked Salmon Carpaccio with Fennel and a Lemon Chantilly Cream and then the Roasted Hawaiian Snapper with Olive Oil, Star Anise and Savory, Fennel Fondue with a Tomato Confite, in an Emulsion of Orange and Ginger and top it off with Crème Brulée. It was one of the best meals I have ever eaten!
