So i've planned my week in maui as far as activities go. But i haven't picked restaurants yet. I would like to have half picked and the other half of the week left up to going with the flow. But i can't choose between the list of restaurants i have so i'm taking a poll...

TOP 3 restaurants in Maui are: (please post)


TOP 3 restaurants in Oahu are:

Maui:

Sansei
Banyan Tree
Plantation House

i forgot to mention... my husband to be doesn't like japanese food!

I don't think it is would be considered in the the top 3 but I really enjoy the Banyan Veranda restaurant at the Old Moana Surfrider hotel in Waikiki. Just lovely.

Maui... Again not "top" anything but I liked walking around Lahaina town and just picking an appealing looking place.

Nick's Fishmarket!! ,& Mama's Fish House.

Mama's Fish House in Maui.

The Club House at Kapalua..Best breakfast of Salmon Eggs Benedict for under $10 and it has such a great view..I found this to be the best bargain on the island.
Sansei is wonderful for sushi..
Mama's Fish House..Yummy

Maui:
Mama's Fish House (lunch, rather than dinner)

O`ahu:
Karen's Kitchen or Rainbow Drive-Inn (for traditional Hawaiian plate lunch)
Moana Surfrider's Banyan Veranda (especially Sunday Brunch!)
Chai's Bistro (Aloha Tower Marketplace)

And if $$$ is no object, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (Honolulu), The Hilton Hotel's Bali-by-the-Sea, or the Halekulani Hotel's La Mer

The annual `Ilima Awards salute O`ahu's top restaurants. Here's the list of 2005 winners:

Definetly, NICK'S FISH MARKET. Expensive, but worth every penny. It is a wonderful experience.

Alan Wong's on Oahu is outstanding.

We had outstanding experiences at Spago, Ferrarros, and Capische in Maui.

orchids at the Halekulani is fabulous and they have great Mai Tais.

Mamas fish is good too.....REALLY EXPENSIVE.

Also, Leilani's at Whaler's Village. Fish Tacos, Onion Strings and Hula Pie (plan to share, at least the pie!).

Top Maui Restaurants:

Sarento's on the Beach -- for a very nice, upscale meal. Had the best dinner of my life there.

Leilani's -- for yummy drinks and a great sunset view

Gazebo -- for breakfast. yummy!

Nick's Fishmarket at the Fairmont Kea Lani Hotel in the Wailea area. It is out of this world, and the service is not to be believed. As others have mentioned, it is expensive but worth every penny.

on Oahu:

Alan Wong's
Orchid's at Halekulani

Here is a link to a picture of the Maui Wowie Salad at Nick's Fishmarket:

One of the best meals I've ever had....would LOVE to have another one of those salads!

Top Oahu:

1) Orchid at the Halekulani is wonderful. The coconut cake is to die for... go early to listen to the bassist and hula dancer.

2) Alan Wong's or Roy's is also great.

3) I love Ono Hawaiian food. Not fancy, just traditional Hawaiian food.

Maui - Hula Grill & Leilani's at Whalers Village, Tommy Bahamas in Wailea
