Seascape Maalaea Restaurant

Nestled along the picturesque coastline of Wailuku, HI, Seascape Maalaea Restaurant offers an authentic taste of Hawaii’s vibrant seafood scene with a breathtaking oceanfront backdrop. This seafood restaurant is a haven for food lovers craving fresh, island-inspired dishes served in an open-air setting where the gentle sea breeze mingles with the aroma of expertly prepared cuisine.

The menu at Seascape Maalaea is a celebration of the Pacific’s finest catches and local flavors, featuring standout dishes such as the crispy Fish and Chips—perfectly battered and fried to golden perfection, delivering a satisfying crunch balanced by tender, flaky fish inside. The Crab Cakes bring a luscious, savory richness, while the Steak Poke Bowl and Spicy Poke Bowl offer fresh, vibrant sushified flavors that dance on the palate with every bite.

For those seeking a fusion of island comfort and gourmet flair, the Maui Ranch Pork Belly Bao Bun Duo and the Pork Belly Ramen provide luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth textures amplified with rich umami undertones. The PO Akahi Garlic Chicken plate, with its golden garlic-infused glaze, showcases the hearty soul of Hawaiian lunch classics, beloved by locals and visitors alike.

Cocktail enthusiasts will delight in handcrafted drinks like the tropically refreshing Mai Tai, the charmingly sweet and tangy Daiquiri, and the whimsically presented Purple Rain—served in a kitschy tiki cup, enhancing any dining experience with a splash of island fun.

Dessert lovers need not look further than decadent treats such as the creamy Banana Crème Brûlée, the heavenly Maui Mud Pie, or the fresh, nostalgic taste of Strawberry Shortcake, each bite a perfect finale to your meal.

The dining atmosphere embraces an inviting, laid-back aloha spirit. Guests enjoy their meals outside, with views of sparkling waters just steps away. As Jae Choe fondly recalls, “Food service and atmosphere was excellent... The fish and chips were excellent and highly recommend.” Though the open setting can get a bit warm, it only adds to the island authenticity—dining under the Hawaiian sun or stars creates a sensory experience that feels both relaxing and invigorating.

Mitch Wilder’s praise for the “catch of the day” Onaga snapper with shrimp and taro potatoes highlights the kitchen’s commitment to freshness and balance—each dish cooked “to perfection” with flavors that impress even the most discerning palates. Meanwhile, Jennifer King’s enjoyment of the three-course meal paired with cocktails underscores Seascape Maalaea’s outstanding value and culinary artistry in a prime beachfront location.

Whether you’re stopping by after exploring the nearby Maui Ocean Center or seeking a memorable meal with friends or family, Seascape Maalaea Restaurant delivers an unforgettable encounter with island cuisine. As Jenn Gray expressed it, “Sitting outside right by the water it was Soo good! Definitely will go there again when I'm back on Maui!”

From the first bite to the last sip, Seascape Maalaea offers a genuine Hawaiian dining experience where every dish tells a story of fresh ocean bounty, island tradition, and heartfelt hospitality.
