    Love the ambiance, (we could have sat there all day) the live music and food! We went for a late lunch and had tacos and saiman. My daughter loved the tacos.. Korean bbq (?), definitely some spice there, the saiman was not what I expected however my bias should not deter anyone from trying it! The texture of the noodles was lovely, I just wasn’t sure about the broth- not quite pho and not quite ramen, the herb mixture had me confused. We definitely highly recommend the sorbet ♥️. Yum. Our waiter James was amazing, super attentive and friendly, made the lunch even better! Thank you!

    I had the Caesar salad and the slow braised short ribs with roasted rainbow carrots and garlic mash potatoes. Salad was great but the slow braised short ribs had just enough sear to the outside to give a slight crunch plus added flavor and then the meat itself just fell apart…. DELICIOUS! The carrots had such a great roasted taste with sweetness from the carrot-cooked perfectly. Lastly, the mash potatoes were heaven, the butter the garlic flavor with the most smooth silky mashed potatoes I have ever had!! Thanks for a great anniversary dinner.

    A very pleasant addition to the rebuilding of the Lahaina restaurant scene. Food is creative, well prepared and tastefully presented. On this visit we enjoyed the tostada salad with a healthy chunk of expertly grilled mahi on top. In addition we indulged in the assassin burger, with tasty local beef that did not disappoint. There is an inviting happy hour menu just waiting for customers - if they know to get there before 5pm (we were there for dinner). Sunsets views are not the reason to go to Coco Deck - the views are of its sister restaurant across the street (Mala). The food is the star here. So is the ambiance. Off the deck and steps inside is a great sports bar with large screens showing various games. Parking will be a challenge until the land around the property is opened for more post-fire business traffic. Coco Deck is a great new find on Maui.
