Fun, upbeat Lahania restuarant for late dinner
 
We are looking for a fun, causal place for dinner our first night in Lahania (but not in Hawaii). Someplace to eat a light meal around 9 pm. Sunset view not important as it will be set by then.

try Bubba Gumps

bonniebroad May 12th, 2004 08:34 PM

We like the Lahaina Fish Company..........and ask for a table right on the water!

Agree with Ranger, Bubba's in Lahaina is good value & fun. One trip we even took McDonald's back to the condo, just needed something to eat after a long journey :)

I could not in good conscious recommend Bubba Gumps.

If I were taking you out for late night eats in Lahaina, I'd take you to either Cool Cat Café or Lahaina Coolers (serve food till midnight).

Here_today: Where is Cool Cat Cafe?

We went to Kimo's after dark and it was great. Have a drink on the water before you dine. Very relaxing.

Don't go to Bubba Gump's - it's a boring chain.

hey, here_today, you'd agree, I'm sure, Bubba isn't light fare! But you do get to pull the red sign when you want service. Yes, Coolers would be much better. And what about Lemongrass, if you'd prefer Asian. I don't suppose Scuba Dog is open that late, is it. Maybe that was at Hikei.

SoBeTraveller May 13th, 2004 09:42 AM

... we looooooved Scuba Dog! Laughed all the way to the lava flows below Makena. Here we were, in Maui, .. and eating in a parking lot next to a dive shop. Ah, tell me we weren't in paradise. Aloha!

We have Scuba Dogs, Buss Frogs and Hula Hogs. DH has to always mention them all in the same sentence. lol

Scuba Dogs--> Kihei, and not open late.

Cool Cat, on Front Street. Here is a review for you:

I have never been to Lemongrass, but am willing to sacrifice myself for the betterment of the group and will make it a point to eat there next time I need lunch in Lahaina. The Canoe Festival starts this week and I will be up there either Sat or Sun or both.

I'll be back in late July, and Leomngrass is on my list fo a lunch.

I've reserved at Mamas, Sansei (in Kapalua), Ma'alaea Waterfront and Kula Lodge on the volcano. Doing a business thing with a group at Pacific'O - dined there in April, though it very nice.

So, looking for great places to lunch, if you've any suggestions.

here_today_gone2Maui May 13th, 2004 10:30 AM

Pa`ia Fish Market! Best hunk of fresh on the island, if you factor in portion and price. Ono-licious. I want an `ahi burger right now!

Kula Lodge is a good choice most people miss. I didn't even think of it when we disucssing sunset views, but, boy, oh, boy, now there's a place to watch sunset!

SoBeTraveller May 13th, 2004 11:07 AM

Yep, got Pa'ia Fish Market on my short list!!

Kula Lodge - 6 p.m. - and hello, Green Flash!

curiousgeo May 13th, 2004 01:06 PM

I'll second Kimo's, part of the Duke's Restaurant chain. Right off the water in Lahaina, breezy lanai area, casual atmosphere, resonably priced food.

casswall May 14th, 2004 09:10 AM

We were big fans of Tommy Bahama cafe in the shops at Wailea. Deeelish. Bubba Gumps.....yuck.

here_today_gone2Maui May 16th, 2004 01:24 PM

SoBe, alas, Lemongrass is no more. Big For Lease sign on the front of the building.
