Worth the price

The food and service are well worth the price. If you can’t make a reservation for the day that you want, then keep checking back on their website for a cancellation.

Can't Miss

Got to Mama's Fish House early for lunch hoping to score a seat at the bar, which I did. Mike the bartender was outstanding. Everything he recommended was great and he was super friendly, as was the whole staff.

Simply the best!!

Continues to be a favorite of ours to visit when on Maui. Excellent, fresh fish with the highest quality and spectacular tasting flavors. Wonderful appetizers. Essential to get a reservation in advance. Valet parking is a must, and free. Service and setting is impeccable. One...of our ask time favorite restaurants.More

This one's a keeper.

Good food, but a bit pricey, out of the way from the town. But a great view. Staff ready at all times, a must go to eat if you are on Maui. I heard bad things about this place but after going there myself I...realized they were wrong.More

The best reservation to get for Maui

Hard reservation to get ( e months out) but we’ll worth it. If you can not get into dinner, do lunch then you have the beautiful ocean with a view

A Very Special Burthday Dinner

It was hard to make a reservation at Mama’s Fish House but I am glad a was persistent and was able to dine there during my trip to Maui. My family and I had a 5:30 PM reservation so we could watch the beautiful sunset...and take seaside photos before dinner I requested a table with a view and my request was honored. The setting is BEAUTIFUL. The food was DELICIOUS and the service was EXCELLENT. We were a group of four. We shared two appetizers. We each ordered main courses and then shared two desserts. There was plenty of food. The restaurant brought a delicious small dessert to my daughter for her bday. They even had a nice birthday card on the table for her when we arrived. I am so glad we celebrated at Mama’s Gush House. Everyone working there are kind and knowledgeable and made us feel very special.More

Best fish ever!!

We took a chance at a walk-in late lunch and got lucky to be seated at the bar. Dinner reservations were booked weeks out. The food was amazing! Best fish we ever had. The service was outstanding and so was the atmosphere. Very pricey but...you get what you pay for. Highly recommend!!More

My all time favourite restaurant!

All I can say is wow! No wonder you have to book at least five months in advance! My husband and I managed to enjoy a romantic dinner (while my parents and sister looked after the kids). Our reso was at 8pm so we couldn’t...see the view - I bet it is breathtaking during the day! The restaurant is beautiful, the decor fabulous and the food is AMAZING! I can’t wait until we return to Maui next and we will be sure to visit Mama’s Fish House!More

I highly doubt it, but you could call. There is valet parking in a small lot; perhaps that would give you some peace of mind as the valet is always out there.
