Eating in Central Maui Mama’s Fish House. This island institution is located in a beautifully landscaped lot on a rugged, black lava-framed North Coast bay in Pa’ia.

Eating in Ka’anapali and Lahaina Maui Hawaii

By Joyce, on April 9th, 2018

On our recent time in Maui, we revisited some of our favorite restaurants and found some new ones. Dinners Duke’s. A return from a lunch on our previous trip. Dinner was an experience.
