REVIEWS Restaurants & Sweeteries 5 Palms DINING With two locations, nestled along the seashore, and enchanting Hawaiian charm, 5 Palms is the type of restaurant where you leave wondering why you didn't go there your first night on Maui. And once you've been there, expect to return—over and over again. One of my favorite parts about traveling to a new destination I have yet to explore, is to find the hidden secrets and spots the locals like to check out. 5 Palms is exactly that - their Lahaina restaurant is steps away from crowds on Front Street, while their Kihei restaurant is tucked into South Kihei's Mana Kai condos - you should check them out! While the breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all wonderful, my favorite time to go is during Happy Hour. I live on Maui and that means I need to keep a tight budget, but I do like great cuisine. People often joke that I have Basil Tomatoes A couple recently asked us for a recommendation for Italian food. We sent them to Basil Tomatoes. Here's the email they sent back to us: "Basil Tomatoes was great. From our table in the intimate open air dining room, the candlelight glowed. We ordered from their wine list, which had a great variety and many impressive selections. Starting with the carpaccio of thinly sliced beef amid toasted bruschetta, we shared the crisp and generous house salad with their locally grown Olowalu Nui Farm tomatoes, cucumbers and Maui onions. My husband ordered the Cioppino served over a bed of linguine while I chose the Chicken Marsala with pasta done the way I like it - both were amazing. Bananas Foster finished us off. Thanks for the tip, it was perfect!" "champagne taste on a beer budget." Well… half-priced sushi, pupus, Asian BBQ ribs, and drinks make a fantastic meal and are very cost-friendly, which keeps me coming back for more. And there's plenty of free parking! A lot of places on Maui make you drive around the block a few times, but at 5 Palms, you can pull right in and get straight to eating and drinking! That about sums it up - it's delish!
