France comes to the Pacific and a divine dining experience is born.. In Short
Beyond the Victorian porches of the Plantation Inn lies chef and owner Gerard Reversade's sophisticated culinary gem. Paned glass windows add to the romantic atmosphere of a French country inn. Diners can sit inside the dining room, outside on the veranda, or on the garden patio. Refined without being snooty, staff is professional and accommodating. Traditional French dishes are prepared with island produce and seafood. Fresh ingredients such as fish, Kauai beef and locally grown vegetables are gathered each morning. Lobster salad with vinaigrette de curry is a great way to warm the palate. Shiitake and oyster mushrooms in a puff pastry, served as a side or an appetizer, is infused with savory hints of wild ginger and lemon. For an entree, rack of lamb is a popular favorite. From the sea, roasted Hawaiian snapper with herbs is a fabulous option. The ever-changing menu keeps things interesting for return visitors.

THE BEST MAUI HAS TO OFFER!. This is by far my favorite restuarant in Maui. It is located in the Plantation Inn in Lahaina. The restuarant is quaint, cozy and charming. The service is excellent and the food is oh-so-good. The portions are huge as well! (which came as a surprise to me and my husband... a pleasant surprise for my husband =]) Our fish entres were faaaaabulous. The wine we order was delicious. My mushrooms in puff pastry appetizer was good, but I really loved my husband's crab cake appetizer!!! it was filled with big chucks of crab meat... excellent. OHH.... and the creme brulee dessert was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good.... the caramalized sugar top of the creme brulee was soo thick it was like brittle... almost like two desserts in one. This restuarant is our pick for best fine-dining in maui. (so skiip the much raved-about mama's fish house, and COME HERE INSTEAD!!!) enjoy!!!

Outstanding Lahaina Restaurant. Wonderful restaurant....with great food and very knowledgable staff. Make sure and get a table on the porch. Been to many restaurants around the world....this is up there with many of them.

Incredible. Without a doubt the best on Maui and probably the State of Hawaii. It is a true gem shining brightly in the middle of the Pacific.

A MAUI Experience You'll Never Forget!!. I went here for the first time in August 2003. My boyfriend and I were 100% satisfied by the ambience and the excellent food prepared by the chef. I can honestly say that this is my favorite restaurant of all times. The price is VERY reasonable for this type of upscale restaurant. This was definitely my favority memory of Maui. I recommend reservations in advance.
