This restaurant is located near the Maalaea Harbor in Maui. The food at Tante Maalaea Harbor Restaurant exceeded my expectations. After an early morning of whale watching, my wife and I were starving, having rushed out the door to make it to our meet-up spot at Boss Frog’s, located just downstairs in the same shopping center. By the time the restaurant opened at 10 AM, we were more than ready for a good meal. As soon as they welcomed guests inside, we were seated at a comfortable spot under some fans, with a beautiful ocean view. The peaceful ambiance made for a perfect setting to enjoy our lunch.
For my meal, I ordered the chicken Caesar salad with a refreshing glass of water, while my wife opted for the steak and lobster with a side of french fries. Her steak was cooked to perfection, and while I don’t eat lobster, she assured me it was absolutely delicious. The french fries were perfectly crispy and flavorful, making them a great addition to her dish. Every bite we had was satisfying, and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals.
Beyond the food, the overall experience at Tante Maalaea Harbor Restaurant was fantastic. The service was top-notch–attentive, friendly, and efficient, leaving nothing to be desired. The ambiance was exactly what you’d hope for in a restaurant with an ocean view–calm, scenic, and relaxing. What more could you ask for?
If I ever find myself in Maui again for another whale-watching adventure, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this restaurant. It was a wonderful dining experience from start to finish, and I truly appreciate the excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Thank you, Tante Maalaea Harbor Restaurant, for a memorable meal!

Great happy hour $3:50 drinks. Ordered fish and chips. Was very good won’t disappoint. Also order kalua barbecue sandwiches. Was good but the macaroni salad lacked flavor and salt. Mud pie dessert was amazingly delicious.

Absolutely loved this place. We stopped in without a reservation for lunch and still got seated quickly. Everyone was super nice, especially our waitress Laurie. She gave us exceptional service with a genuinely happy smile. The food was amazing. We will definitely be back before our vacation is over.

Oh my, where to begin?
I know Tante’s as the hole-in-the-wall restaurant at the Maui Seaside hotel in Kahului that serves up a good breakfast. Since their inception, they’ve expanded to this restaurant at Ma’alaea Harbor, formerly occupied by Saltimbocca and a few iterations before that.
ATMOSPHERE:
Beautiful & spacious waterfront location with an unsightly interior. It’s an unappealing mix of blue-green and white LED’s and incandescent lighting, mishmash of chairs (some stained) & tables (one with a 50’s-style vinyl covering), electric cords all over the walls, a former open-view kitchen that’s now partially boarded up, dirty ledges and floor corners. A small outdoor lanai serves up great harbor and Haleakala views. Private dining room available at the back of the restaurant. Come towards closing time and you may be treated to workers scarfing down food amongst patrons.
RESERVATIONS:
Recommended as they were quite busy at 7pm, with the majority being tourists.
PARKING:
Paid parking but free after 5pm within the Harbor Shops lot.
MENU:
American, Filipino and Hawai’i-local fare.
BEVERAGE:
Glasses of Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay were both underwhelming.
FOOD:
Munggo Bean Soup
The only unique item that caught my attention as I love this dish. Served hot, it’s a sizable bowl highlighted with oxtail pieces and meat. Taste & seasonings were textbook. A restroom paper towel replaced the traditional paper doily between the bowl and saucer. Sides of artificially-coated fries and hot veggies were both room temp.
The spouse had an unconventional meal of clam chowder and half rack of ribs. A friend had the steak & lobster which was reported as “okay”.
DESSERT:
They ran out of coffee at 8pm which is an hour before closing. I’ve never…
Mud Pie
This was good! Bold coffee ice cream with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle and chopped nuts.
SERVICE:
Food delivery was extremely slow, close to 30 minutes or so, but drinks came out quick.
The server was friendly and attentive. No follow up on food but drinks were topped off.
OVERALL:
So much potential that’s going to waste.

My recent visit to a restaurant, renowned for its spectacular ocean view, turned out to be less than satisfactory. Indeed, the view is the sole highlight of this establishment, offering an expansive observation of the ocean that promises a serene dining experience. However, the allure of the scenery could not compensate for the numerous shortcomings I encountered.
Upon entering, the state of cleanliness immediately caught my attention. Both windows and doors were marred by spots and dust, suggesting a neglect of basic upkeep. The interior decor, which could have enhanced the ambiance, instead detracted from it. The furniture was visibly old and worn, with tears that spoke of a long absence of investment in the dining environment.
Service, unfortunately, was painfully slow. After placing our order for appetizers, we were subjected to a wait of over an hour, during which our waitress repeatedly assured us that our food would arrive “shortly.” This pattern of reassurance without fulfillment was not only frustrating but also disingenuous, contributing to an atmosphere of dissatisfaction among the patrons. I observed several customers, presumably wearied by the wait, opting to leave—a decision I began to empathize with.
The location of the restaurant, proximate to a bustling aquarium, ensures a steady flow of potential diners. It’s a prime spot that could have spelled success for any establishment. However, it was disheartening to see how the restaurant failed to capitalize on its natural and strategic advantages.
When the food finally arrived, it was, at best, mediocre. The dishes lacked sophistication both in flavor and presentation, echoing the overall lack of attention and care that seemed to be a theme of the restaurant.
In conclusion, despite the restaurant’s enviable location and the captivating ocean view it offers, the negatives vastly outweigh this single positive aspect. From the cleanliness to the service and the quality of the food, there is much left to be desired. I regret to say that I cannot recommend this restaurant. For those seeking a memorable dining experience by the ocean, it would be wise to look elsewhere.

We love Tante’s diverse menu. We each were able to have the food we like. Each menu item we ordered was really good. Their Molokai sweet potato salad was so good, we had to go back two days later. The staff were attentive. The area spacious and clean. The selection of beverages was excellent. We will definitely go back!

Hands down the best sushi I have ever had in my life. Fish is fresh every day and just look at the colour of the Tuna. Just incredibly flavorful and rich. Presentation of the food was top notch as was the service. Best views in West Maui and perfect ambiance. Going to be recommending this restaurant to everyone I know. EVERYTHING we ordered was well presented and flavourful, pricing is competitive but service set this place apart.

Came to Tante’s to celebrate my aunts birthday while in Maui. I have to say the food here was very good as well as the service. We did make a reservation just in case and we were seated very quickly upon arriving. They are located in the Maui Harbor shops and have a great view. I would have given 5 stars however, it does not seem they upkeep the restaurants cleanliness as much as they should. We noticed a wall we were seated next to was real grimey. It did not appear it was daily grime from children or people touching that day but grime and food from over time built up. That kinda grossed us out. This restaurant has the potential of being really upscale because of the location but the furniture is very dated. Although there were things that we did not like, the food was excellent, with big portion size and our server was great. I would recommend giving this place a try and hopefully they would have cleaned the walls by that time. If you read my review, please hit the like button. Thank you.

Nice spot all and all. We visited on a day when we went to the aquarium so the easy proximity worked well. The views are great and our service was good. The food was good all around and everyone seemed satisfied.
The wear and tear of the restaurant was noticeable, just a bit run down and unkept. I wouldn’t mind having a meal there again, but I also wouldn’t go out of my way.

Waited two hours for food, but it’s not their fault because the computer system glitched. Had to complain a few times but they made it up by paying for our full meal. The food was delicious and appetizing, all the workers were so inviting and warming. The ocean view is so amazing, you can eat while the ocean view is right there.
