“With professional service, an inviting atmosphere and innovative cuisine, it’s easy to see how Lahaina Grill continues to be a favorite. We savor the caramelized Maui onion and sesame seed-crusted seared ahi that melts like butter in our mouths, along with a rich vanilla bean jasmine rice and apple cider-soy butter vinaigrette. Appetizer choices are made easier with the Cakewalk, a sophisticated sampler platter that includes Kona lobster crab cake, sweet Louisiana rock shrimp cake and seared ahi cake—sure, it’s large enough for two but don’t think you’ll want to share. Other standouts include a blue corn-crusted chile relleno filled with local prawns, scallops and Monterey Jack cheese with roasted corn and avocado relish, and the roasted rack of lamb with a light Kona coffee-Cabernet demi-glace and herb-infused mashed potatoes. Desserts are just as creative, as is the extensive wine list chosen with care by the in-house sommelier.” — gayot.com
