Everyone has, at one time or another, heard of the Fleetwood Mac musical group so this review may help you understand where I am coming from.

While in Maui this December with daughter, Kelly we asked her where she wanted to go or see and commented  she wanted to go here “just because”, so off we go. Upstairs on the rooftop dining room for lunch with breath catching-eye popping scenery was a great beginning.

Our server, Paul, comes over with a big smile and asks for our beverage order. Don ordered a St. Pauli beer and I ordered my usual, Pinot Grigio. Kelly, on the other hand, ordered a Seaside Lemonade. All were yum. BTW, Fleetwoods has the only rooftop restaurant plus two floors of entertainment in the lower dining rooms.

Appetizers were more than awesome for Kelly and Don. They wanted to share  an Ahi Poke (pronounced pokay) so they raved, almost cried about it being the best Ahi poke they had EVER had. I kid  you not. It was so great, they ordered another one. Believe me their rantings about how wonderful this is and was is still going on a couple of weeks later. Oh, did I mention, we had another round of yummy beverages? Yup! we did.

Kelly and I decided we would share a Beet and Tomato Salad with Burrata Cheese and a Cheeseburger. Don ordered the Clam Linguine dish. We tasted one and all and truly, it is the best food on the Island and that is some tribute. Oh, but we are not done yet…we ordered a Creme Brulee for dessert with 3 spoons.  This meal was a luxury to say the least  and we finished it off with coffee.

I can’t say enough about the service and ambience of this establishment. It was laughter from start to finish and Paul, again. was truly a top rate server who really knows his craft well.

This was Kelly’s Christmas present to Don and myself and WOW, we  Thank you.

I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you. After eating the poke, Kelly  “Fred is dead”, Fred is dead” (referring to another restaurant in Maui). We agree and  yes, we will be back.

Yesterday after an appointment downtown, I told Don I would take him for lunch. Due to the crazy one way streets downtown and the very difficult ways to get where we really wanted to go, we took off and tried this restaurant for the first time. Besides I like White Spot, especially if they are clean and cheery.

When we arrived, it wasn’t quite Noon so it wasn’t full. Our delightful server, Val, came over and took our order for beverages and food.

Anyone who knows me knows I don’t try something new every time I go to a restaurant. Since I was 15 years old, the ONLY thing I order is a Monty Mushroom Burger with Extra Sauce and Don teased me, letting me think he was going to order the same thing, but, alas and alack, he ordered the Shrimp sandwich.

While we waited for our lunch to arrive we chatted about whatever came to mind and watching the people start to pour in. When the restaurant is clean, staff are happy and paying attention to their customers, it is a sure sign they will always return. Oh, yeah and the food must be awesome as well.

Don’s sandwich was freaking awesome. So full of whole shrimp, not minced up “guess what it is” filling. Also, he said there were no onions in it. He really enjoyed it but, with a little warning you out there, both our orders were large. So large in fact, the Manager came over to check if the food was okay. We assured him it was but, we were stuffed to the brim. Then, with a smile on his face, he asked us if we wanted dessert. Oh no….

Both the restaurants here are super, one at each end of our City, so you have a choice.
