Blake - Thanks so much for this video! Went to Maui - had no idea we needed reservations nearly everywhere. Missed a few places I had wanted to go. This vid was a lifesaver. Ended up trying a few on your list - especially liked Down the Hatch & Leoda's. Also thanks for taking some great photos for us for our sunset photoshoot. Maui is lucky to have you!

Its usually on weekends where reservations are absolutely required, but during weekdays it can either be quick seating or just about a half hour wait, it is long but patience is key

The last day on our last trip, we cancelled our plans and just hung out on the beach, got a couple of Maui onion burgers, and chilled. It was the best day ever. We’ve also been to Down the Hatch and Monkeypod. Great video! You nailed some real gems, and gave me some ideas for our next trip.

We were staying in Kihei as we have friends that own a condo there. It's also time to return too! Our First trip we drove, HONEST TO GOD, 1,200 miles on Maui in two weeks! We went everywhere and some places 2 or 3 times! Yes we drove to Hana twice and also to the top of Haleakala twice too! We felt like Ohana and the desire to go back is very strong as we felt the "SPIRIT" of the Island. OH.....I also LOVED the "FRESH" made Poi too....Yummy! Aloha and Mahalo for this Great Video!!

May 2021, bucket list highlight for me was Mama's Fish House on Mother's Day, an experience I will never forget. It's a reservation restaurant, but I thought I would give a shot out anyways. The view, the food, the service, and our waiter, Nicholas, who was born and raised in Maui was unforgettable! Loved the Polynesian Black Pearl for dessert...almost too pretty to eat...but of course I did. Stayed in Kihei first trip and in Kahana this past May. Looking forward to trying Gazebo for breakfast!
