Nick's FishMarket Review

One word: amazing! The New York steak was really good! Great service and geniune nice people.

The last evening in Maui was great. The taste is ok, but it's expensive.

Nick's Fishmarket Maui was an amazing experience. 5 star food along with 5 star service! We were Impressed with the level of both. Definitely a must go to place when visiting Maui.

Nick's was a great place to kick off the evening! We only had time for the happy hour - can't speak to the main dishes.

We enjoyed sliders, pot stickers, and fries along with wine.

It is a beautiful spot and the service was good.

I recommend it to hotel guests and others in the area.

This place is not cheap, but out meals were amazing and the service was excellent.

The best restaurant ;-) Great Salomon and great happy hour ;-) Aloha

Snobbish. They had free tables and was already over busy hours . Yet, they turned us away because we didn t have reservations. Instead we went to Ko, which had amazing atmosphere and food.

Every bite was delicious. The Ahi appetizer, calamari appetizer, the scallops with pork, the salad, the strawberry dessert. All delicious. The service was excellent also. The view beautiful.

Nick's Fish Market is the best restaurant in South Maui. The food is awesome. The service is exceptional. The ambience is perfect, especially at Sunset. Chef Maka makes the best ahi creations.

Incredible dining experience...impeccable service....delicious cuisine....look forward to a return visit!

Excellent service and ambiance! We stayed at the Fairmont, but almost skipped Nick s because there was only one vegetarian option, the vegetable cannelloni, which seemed like an afterthought. Surprisingly, it was amazingly delicious and completely worth it. Would definitely recommend.

Best Service Ever! Food was Amazing as well!! Oh ya.... The Mai Tai's are Heaven!

I really thought it was just okay. They highly recommended opakapaka but it was kinda meh.

Best food in town hands down. The service is superb.

Awesome place,never had a bad experience or bad food

Very pretty views while eating inside or outside helpful staff good selection of all kinds of different types of food pricey clean bathrooms fun places to walk around after you eat

The breakfast brunch is by far worth every penny. Outstanding!

Elegant service, extraordinary cuisine. Well worth the splurge:)

Great Restaurant. Great Food. Great Location. Top Spot in the best area on the island.

Superb happy hour! Get there early to secure your chair.

If you go there during happy hour prices, you will get great food, and your wallet won't catch fire. Good drinks, good food, the view CAN be good depending on where you are seated, and though they offer valet parking, the hotel is so popular and busy, it can be tough to navigate there. Might skip this next trip in favor of a new spot next trip.

Terrible. Staff at check in stand cannot provide a menu. They are yelling at people especially the lady. Bar tender said "go and look for a menu yourself." Told tacos were corn as I have celiacs but they are wheat. Cevice is 90% Guac with heavy onion and one tiny piece of fish (like half the size of an M&M). Fish tacos have some strange sauce that was not mention and my wife says tastes strange. Fries are from Cisco and low quality. Won't be back. Very sad place. No idea how four stars. Wines are $4 bottles from Central Valley for $8 a glass. I think not. No ability to do a grilled cheese or hot dogs for kids. No veggie option for the other kid. Did I mention. I won't be back?

This place was amazing. Best night and dinner we had our entire stay in Maui. From Jason the bar tender to Beau the most amazing server ever they made sure our evening was memorable. And it was!!! Thank you for the wonderful food and drinks!! Best rack of lamb ever!

Absolutely top shelf. Best on Maui. For the life of me I don't know why this place isn't packed every night.

Delicious food in nice ambience in a fantastic hotel

We had our wedding reception in the private room at Nick's Fishmarket. We were planning from overseas, but this was made easy by Patricia's prompt email responses. On the night, the room was beautiful, the service was quick and friendly, and the food was delicious.

Really, really slow service. We came at 8:20, and weren't out of there until 10pm, and we only ordered one course. The waiters seemed pretty uninterested in us (party of 7) and routinely ignored us when it was time to order (we had to flag them down after 15 minutes), and time to get the check (again had to flag down), and time to collect the payment. It also took over 30 minutes from ordering to arrive at the table, and it really wasn't that busy -- maybe 1/2 full. They should at least bring the kids food first.

They were really attentive with filling up the water, but the rest of the service was really poor.

Food was decent, but didn't blow any of us away. For comparison we went to Monkeypod the day before and we're blown away by drinks, food, and service.

Outstanding happy hour. Sliders and fish tacos are great.

Loved the cool outdoor setting. We ordered the rack of lamb, calamari and the grilled lobster mac & cheese. The portions are massive. The calamari was crispy and drizzled with a delicious sauce. The rack of lamb was tender and delicious with the jam but the potato mash in the middle was really dry.

If you re looking for a hearty dinner in the cool night air, dinner at Nick s is a great experience.

Excellent staff and the best meals we had in Maui! Loved it and enjoyed the nights we sat and ate at the bar.

(Restaurant week) My wife and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The staff was very helpful to answer questions about the dishes.

I went to Nick's especially for abalone. I ate abalone before in Carmel California and I loved it. I was very disappointed by the way it was prepared here. It was breaded (doesn't say on the menu) and for the price of $120 I expected to receive the shell (as a souvenir) like I did in Carmel. Also, my husband's choice was not worth the money we paid.
We will not go again.

Jason and Dave are the best! No nonsense with aloha! Hard to find a better spot on the island!

Been coming to Maui every year for 15 years. We frequent the best restaurants on the island. In the past 3 years we can added Nicks to our schedule and just last week decided it was number 1 favorite. Their seafood preparations are utterly amazing, the staff is world class and the atmosphere is conducive to any type of venue you might be looking for. If you go to Maui and do not try Nick's, you really missed out. Aloha!!

Very average food and service. Would not recommend.

Great food, prices are fair considering the quality of the food. Fish is super fresh and all wild caught. Service is above average as well.

Not worth the money. Way better options on the island for the same price.

We went there after a wedding on 8/8/2015, I ordered the steak and so did a lot of others. I was given the wrong temperature but just thought they had way over cooked my medium steak. It was like boot leather. Instead they had given the grooms mothers steak and her mine. She likes a lot of salt but didn't tell me she had salted the hell out of it. I took one bite and realized I couldn't eat it however the server never came back to ask me why I wasn't eating my food or if that temperature was okay for me or any of the others. Basically I had to pay $60 for a dinner that I took two bites out of. I stayed after to speak to the server and his only response was oh I thought I had came back. It was late as it took us two and a half hours to get our food and pay. Very disappointed in the service and response to the incident. The hotel is beautiful and I had great service at the bar. Recommend not going late because they simply wanted to get out of there and not take care of our table but it was not our fault they took our reservation for a late time.

I was not impressed with the food. We ordered the Kahlua Pig Potstickers as an appetizer - which were good, my husband couldn't get enough of the sauce. For my entree though I ordered the Moroccan Spiced Salmon - although the salmon was cooked perfectly, the mustard sauce that lay under the rice completely over powered the dish. My husband ordered the Scallop and Pork Adobo and couldn't finish the scallops. The end of the meal was nice at least - they offered us a free dessert to celebrate our honeymoon and the lilikoi panna cotta was delicious. It's a coin toss I guess. Nothing we experienced would convince me to go back though.

Me and my husband Paul Main went there for happy hour and it was amazing . Jason and Dave at the bar were just amazing. Food and drinks were excellent . We will be back again and not forgetting their dessert Delicious .

Service was tremendous from being greeted to dropping off the check. Friendly staff, outstanding atmosphere, and delicious food!! Definitely an amazing place to eat!!

Best restaurant on Maui! Food and service are top notch. Our family loves Nicks and always come back

The place is great! Got the nick sunset cocktail, very good. Go before the sunset and you will have a very romantic moment

My wife and I drove down to Nick's to enjoy a fine meal to end our honeymoon stay on Maui before heading to the airport. I'm more of a hole-in-the-wall and food truck person, but I don't think I've ever enjoyed a meal more. We started with drinks and applies at the bar (to get happy hour deals! 5-7. See the menu on their site, but heads up that prices are higher than posted). We then split the fresh catch of the day (which they brought out beautifully plated for each of us), and finished with the strawberry panzini for dessert (completely unnecessary, but way too fun). Not enough can be said about the service. From the bar staff to waiters, we felt very cared for. Mahalo!

Absolutely incredible. We were here with a wedding party, and the staff went above and beyond to make the evening really special. The waitstaff was attentive, and had lots of fun napkin and tray tricks up their sleeves. The food was excellent, cooked perfectly, and their drink menu is incredibly varied. We had an amazing evening in this beautiful hotel, and we would absolutely recommend Nick's for any large parties.

We went here by recommendation from our hotel for the oysters on the half shelf. They are topped with ahi tuna. 5 stars for the oysters even though they are pricey ( $28 for 6). However, this was by far the WORST meal and most expensive we have had in Maui. SO DISAPPOINTED. I ordered the Scallops and Pork with adobe sauce and the scallops were too chewy and the pork belly wasn t edible. My husband had the Mahi Mahi and that was mediocre at best. A positive thing was that the service was great. The waiter offered to take my meal back and they brought out a dessert for my birthday. Another thing is to AVOID the photographer unless you want to pay $20 for the photo, but I m sure you could get it for $10. Not to mention it CHEAPENS the overall experience. I do have to say that the hotel grounds by the ocean are beautiful. But for the same price, an even more beautiful hotel, and exceptional service you can get much higher quality meals at the Four Seasons next door.

They need more fans for when there isnt a good wind, it was very hot at dinner

Great food, atmosphere and staff! We really enjoyed it!

Excellent food and service in an outdoor setting. A recommended vacation location but it is very expensive so not great value for the money but a wonderful setting not found in many places worldwide.

Outstanding food and great service. Unsurprisingly, given the name, the fish was delicious. The big surprise though was that the vegetarian dish my wife ordered was also amazingly good! Often high end restaurants do great meat dishes and crappy vegetarian, so it was a great change of pace for us to both leave completely satisfied with our meals. Thanks for knowing how to spice and cook vegetables Nick's!

One of the best meals on Maui! Fresh food, great service. Highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Maui.

The service and atmosphere were top notch, but the food was mediocre and overpriced. The drinks were almost nonalcoholic. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

I had a spiritual experience eating the scallops with pork belly, risotto, and bok choy. The fresh market oysters were also notably good. But the service was the best of all - Jason and Dave rocked the bar and kept it truly 5 stars. Go see them.

Good food (but nowhere near gourmet) in disappointingly basic setting but with very good service. However, more expensive than the best restaurants in Maui, and therefore absolutely no value for money. A complete rip-off. Definitely not recommended.

The Valentine's day dinner was so very special. The seafood and beef were the best that we had while in Maui. Our compliments to the chef! The service was excellent as well. The evening was complete with flaming strawberries prepared skillfully by Beau. Mahalo!

Excellent every single time. Food, drinks, ambience and service.

We went there for dinner during our stay in Maui (April 2018), the food absolutely delicious and the waitstaff was very attentive and friendly. Definitely will go back!

I am not one to usually jump on google and right a review but the service experience at this restaurant is most certainly below a fine dining standard.
I booked this restaurant to celebrate my wife s birthday on our first trip to Maui . It was based on the recommendation of our hotel s concierge desk.
The only person who acknowledged the occasion was the hostess at the entrance , the server was late, did not provide any details on the specials, was rushing to other busier and larger tables and missed our last order of coffee and espresso.
When the food was served , it was not presented to us as it is customary in any other fine dining restaurant.
Our experience at this hotel has been nothing but exceptional so it would be unfair to them if I don t point out how bad this restaurant is for the reputation of a brand/hotel like Fairmont

Food is excellent. Happy hour service is superb. I think I found my second home.

Very nice restaurant. They were so attentive to filling up my drink. Even if i just took one sip!

Went twice while in in Maui for 6 days...Food - amazing! Service was good. Will definitely go back next time we're in town.

Amazing food and good service great food and drinks...

Rather bland flavors, and rather too expensive for its own good.

Excellent service and great creative food. As a bonus, they're very kid friendly.

Mahi mahi was excellent. Wife enjoyed her filet even though it was slightly under cooked. Service and drinks were good. Nice atmosphere in the fairmont resort.

We loved our meal at Nick s. The food was fantastic and Guy provided excellent service! We didn t even say anything about being on our babymoon, but he could tell and gave us a special dessert! Everything was above and beyond wonderful and a very special night for my husband and I.

Very nice place with a very good food. We've loved this place so much so we've had three dinners there.

The food and setting are good, but there's something odd about the service.

Not really impressed and the rating is not accurate, at lease to me. It s just ok but very pricy, lobster tail was not fresh. Crab cake so so.

Beautiful setting. Food was okay but you go for the ambiance and romantic setting. Not inexpensive

Amazing service and the food was delicious. We watched the sunset from our table, it was wonderful. They were extremely accommodating to my food allergies. Highly recommend!

We had the Mahi Mahi and the salmon. Both were delicious. Service was a tad slow.

My favorite in Wailea. Can't be beat....service and food.

The crab chowder I had may be the best thing I've ever eaten, and the service seriously could not have been better in anyway.

My family had reserved a table at Nick s, a few weeks in advance and were only offered a table in the noisiest bar area and the hostess was very rude and non accommodating, we have been going to Nick s for over 20 years and will not go back, there are plenty of fine restaurants in Maui that will take our money.

Good food. Service could have been faster/more attentive to tables

We splurged for our anniversary and we weren't disappointed at Nick's. Food was perfect, service exceptional.
