Roy's or Kimo's on Maui
 
Can anyone give me a review of Roy's on Maui? How about Kimo's in Lahaina

Jim, Roy's is a GREAT RESTUARANT AS WELL AS a sister Nicolina's next door. There is a Roy's on each island and I have never been disappointed. On Maui, try Hailemaile Gen'l Store and Mama's Fish house. I believe Kimo's is part of a chain of restuarants throughout the islands - with different names and the are good but not at Roy's level. Aloha

<BR>In the Maui News 1997 Annual Reader's Poll, Roy's Kahana finished first in the category, "Best Overall Restaurant." <BR>For more winners and runners-up in different categories, go to the following website: <BR>http://www.mauigateway.com/~rw/rest.htm

<BR>Avalon in Lahina was wonderful. It was written up in Bon Appetite several times and on CNN. I liked it better than Roy's. Sitting in the courtyard was a great people watching spot. Unique presentation of food. We have a Roy's now here is Seattle.

Probably Roy's is better but Kimo's is a fun place and the location right on the waterfront in Lahaina is pretty nice, especially at sunset. Food was pretty good when I ate there last year. By the way, Troy Aikman of Dallas Cowboys was at the next table with his entourage so it could'nt be that bad. right?

Roy's is a really great restaurant - make SURE you get the chocolate souffle - it's really amazing. We enjoyed Kimo's as well - it was my husband's favorite restaurant on Maui - much more casual than Roy's. If the timing works out, try and get an outside table at the bar while you're waiting for your table. You can catch a great view of the sunset. Enjoy! <BR> <BR>

Kimo's by far. Relax, order a mai tai, order some pupu's, watch the sunset and pay half of what Roy's would cost you. Beyond a doubt, Kimo's is it, hands down! p.s. dont forget to buy a kimo's tank top or t-shirt. I travel all over the world, and whenever I wear my Kimo's shirt, inevitably someone taps me on the shoulder and we talk about Maui. I'm jealous!

Two of my most favorite restaurants! They are both fabulous - but the atmosphere at Kimo's is soo much better, especially if you get a table outside on the upper deck. The food is awesome too. And the drinks knocked me out. Roy's is excellent but I didn't like the atmosphere half as much as at Kimo's. <BR>If you can, go to both. Either way, enjoy! <BR>

Kimos Absolutely. It has been the best forever. It sits overlooking the water and has atmosphere. Super lunches also.
