Planning on living full time in a new Maui home? If you’re going to live in one of the world’s favorite vacation spots, you may as well take advantage of the features that make it so enjoyable. For example, four Maui restaurants just appeared on OpenTable’s list of 100 Best Al Fresco Dining Restaurants in America. What better place to enjoy outdoor dining than here, where the balmy air, sapphire ocean and majestic mountains set the scene for your meal?

Maui’s four winning restaurants were Duke’s Beach House in Lahaina, Hula Grill in Kaanapali, Pacific’ O in West Maui, and Ferraro’s situated here on a beautiful property in Wailea. These fantastic restaurants were chosen based on over 5 million reviews submitted by OpenTable diners, from a list of 20,000 restaurants across America. There were about a dozen winners scattered throughout Hawaii, and for Maui to claim a third of them is what we’ve come to expect over the years.

If you’re unfamiliar with the OpenTable service, it makes searching restaurants easy when you have specific criteria you’d like to have met, including those that can accommodate the number in your party at a given time. Their list was released just in time for summer, when travelers rely on their service in unfamiliar locations. Considering how many vacationers come to Maui, you might imagine how thoroughly reviewed our restaurants are, which
adds some extra consistency to the results.

Here is the complete alphabetical list of winning restaurants in Hawaii:

Beachhouse-Moana Surfrider – Honolulu, Hawaiʻi
Blue Dragon Restaurant – Kamuela, Hawaiʻi
