LAHAINA GRILL...our favorite restaurant on Maui!



When I am on Maui, it is a MUST that I consume at least one dinner at Lahaina Grill http://www.lahainagrill.com/. The food and service are the best on the island. Always a unique blend of ingredients that tempt the palate. A fabulous wine list thanks to somelier Richard. Love Mary at the bar and Debbie! Jurg is the hard working, proud owner who is always so personable and kind to all of his dining guests. I love that they support local Hawaiian farmers and use organic foods.

I am an appetizer and salad kind of person. Some of my personal faves include...
THE CAKE WALK: Petite servings of Kona lobster crab cake, sweet Louisiana rock shrimp cake and seared ahi 
STEAMED MANILA CLAMS: White wine, parsley broth, pancetta, served with herbed garlic crostini
RECONSTRUCTED CALIFORNIA ROLL: Dungeness crab salad, avocado, sweet rice and cilantro-ginger vinaigrette CRISPY FRIED BLUE CORN CRUSTED CHILE RELLENO: Filled with Hawaiian Big Island prawns, scallops and Monterey jack cheese, served on roasted sweet Kula corn relish with Fuerte avocados and red tomato
BUFALA TOMATO SALAD: Hana tomatoes, bufala mozzarella, truffle oil, aged balsamic vinaigrette, seasoned with black Kilauea sea salt 
WARM PECAN CRUSTED GOAT CHEESE AND BABY ARUGULA SALAD Pears, roasted beets, Poha berry honey-mustard dressing     
KULA MIXED GREENS:  Southwestern vinaigrette dressing and your choice of Feta or Gorgonzola cheese  
BABY ROMAINE CAESAR SALAD: Garlic-anchovy dressing, croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese   SWEET KULA CORN SOUP:  Chive crème fraîche
This is my mom's fave:  CENTER CUT 12OZ. NEW YORK STEAK:  Wild mushroom-balsamic demi-glace and herbed gratin potatoes 
This is my hubby's fave: KONA COFFEE ROASTED RACK OF LAMB: Light coffee-Cabernet demi-glace, herb infused mashed potatoes  
Chocolate lovers should order this: SUNKEN CHOCOLATE CAKE: Flourless chocolate decadence with Kona coffee ice cream
