    It was great to see Star Noodle reopened and love their new location with a lot more room. Our server was great and the food came out quicker than I remember from before. We had a few of our favs like the steamed pork buns, kim chee, and miso butterfish. All were excellent. This is one of our favorite places in Maui so always look forward to returning.

    We made reservations for 5:30…sunset was about 15 minutes later. It was busy as location is perfect for sunset viewing. When we checked in, we were to be seated right away but hostess suggested we wait while a table was cleaned as it had a primo front seating. We did and it was stunning. The waitress, Tiana was fabulous and friendly. The food was delicious. We plan on returning again before we leave Maui.

    Alway love coming every year. We had a wonderful fish dinner twice this week. Unfortunately we were seated directly above the electric guitarists at the same table both times. I asked to be moved the first time but this time haha, I just stuffed my ears with paper napkin. Next time I will be sure to come after 5:00 when the loud music ends.

    Our dinner at Sea House was delicious! This is our third time dining there and it did not disappoint. We asked to be seated at a table near the window and were able to watch the sunset. We ordered the early bird specials and both the filet mignon and the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi were to die for. The service was a little slow, but our waitress was friendly and the food and view made up for it. Already looking forward to visiting again next year!
