Royal Ocean Terrace - Lahaina

This restaurant is a true gem in Maui's dining scene. Located directly on the oceanfront, it provides an extraordinary dining experience that captivates all your senses.

Great ocean view, excellent food at good price for such a special restaurant, and service and attention by manager 'Ford ' was especially good. Can enjoy quiet to converse with soft Hawaiian music in background. This is the essence of a fantasy of Hawaii vs noisy, crowded restaurants that are the norm.

Great staff, so nice and friendly. The atmosphere is top-notch and doesn't get better. The food is great as well. Can't go wrong here.

Food was decent for our first night on Maui, but what probably stood out most was the service. Wait staff very attentive to ensuring glasses were full with water, no rushing to order, answered questions on the menu, and ensured specials were detailed to our understanding. On top of that, Ford the manager personally greeted us and every table and thanked us for coming in. We were celebrating our younger daughter's straight A year in high school and they acknowledged here with their Maui Pie. Ambiance was great because the dining area was outside under a giant awning. Going around 6:30pm was great for the time of the year because after dinner and dessert are done, it's about sunset. After dinner you can take pictures from the hotel grounds. They make a Hawaiian version of cioppino which my wife liked. My daughter had their crab cakes and I ate steak. I've seen another review speak of their filet as a steak covered in BBQ sauce and I can see how that can be tasted as such. However, it was properly prepared the way I like it, med-rare and I enjoyed the flavor.

We had dinner on 7/8/24 as a party of 12, and we had a great time at Royal Ocean Terrace. The view was beautiful, the service was fantastic, and the food was some of the best we've had on the island!
