- NNancySeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis restaurant is the best value for your money. It's ocean side. Our table was right next to the ocean and the view was spectacular. The service is the best and the waiters are the friendliest. The food is outstanding. I am Vegan and they are always respectful of my requests and accommodate me. I love their Greek Pita Wrap - I get it with grilled tofu and mushrooms ... it's not on the menu, but they will do for you if you are a vegetarian. And the Lilikoi sorbet is the best ever!! We were celebrating a birthday and they even brought out the sorbet with a candle on it. And they gifted the birthday girl the dessert. We LOVE Mala Ocean Tavern and eat there frequently. I will always bring mainland friends here. The view can't be beat and it's one of the few restaurants right on the water. And if you're lucky, you might see a honu (sea turtle) or two!More infoMala Ocean TavernPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Lahaina•4.8
- SSHERRIEVIPLas Vegas •14 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy husband & I dined with clients at Matteo’s. Our table was outside on the covered lanai, the ambiance & temperature were very enjoyable. Michelle, the hostess was exceptionally welcoming & hospitable upon our arrival. Kiana was our server, she was incredible! So friendly, helpful with the menu, she answered questions about recommendations & ingredients in the menu items. She allowed us time to visit with each other & review the menu, her timing was impeccable throughout our meal. The bruschetta al tonno, misto salad, lasagna, monchong fish special & bolognese were all divine. Great wine & drink menu, too! I would highly recommend Matteo’s in Wailea.More infoMATTEO'S OSTERIAPrice: Expensive• Italian• Wailea•4.8
