Ma'alaea Harbor
Maui, Hawaii
This was our choice for an elegant dinner, partly because of the terrific views out over Ma'alaea Harbor. We were not disappointed in any way! Food, atmosphere, service all the best that his island has to offer.
From the restaurant's web site, a bit of history:
"Buzz's Wharf Restaurant recently celebrated 40 years of operation, and is one of Maui's oldest restaurants. As a landmark in Ma'alaea Bay Harbor, Buzz's continues, year after year, to greet and extend their ho'okipa (hospitality) to both newcomers and their loyal local and visitor clientele. The panoramic views of the harbor, Mt. Haleakala and the southern coastline of Maui only serve to enhance your dining experience. Watching pods of humpback whales (during whale season) and surfers "catchin' da wave," is an added bonus!
In 1967, Jerry & Eileen Macdonald opened Buzz's Wharf Restaurant above the Ma'alaea Boat Club, where it still stands today. They shared 30 successful years in the restaurant business on Maui and Honolulu. In 1993, the Macdonald's retired and the next generation took over. The American Cuisine with an Island flavor continues on. Mrs. Macdonald's French Tahitian roots contributed to many of the unique menu items. Their signatures dish the "Markea Sweet Prawns Tahitian" being the most popular."
