The decor at this new venture from Top Chef favorite and restaurateur Sheldon Simeon may be modern and spare, but the hospitality is warm, old-school Hawaiian. The menu spotlights Maui's diverse culinary influences, with Portuguese, Japanese and Native Hawaiian dishes on offer. Appetizers on the 'cart' menu are served dim-sum style, which encourages chatting about ingredients and contributes to an appealingly immersive dining experience.
Solo travelers will feel like part of the family at the welcoming bar, where the fantastic craft cocktails embrace the tastes, smells and moods of the island – try one, you'll see.
