Sea House Restaurant

Sea House Restaurant

Another marvelous suggestion our hotel concierge gave us led us to The Sea House Restaurant at Napili Kai Beach Resort. Usually, I don’t like to patronize hotel restaurants. I find them over-priced and unmemorable. This was an exception.

A word of warning, parking can be scarce so go early. Park in the hotel parking lot and walk down the winding pathways, past the guest rooms and pool. When you reach the sand, veer right toward an open air building. The Sea House overlooks the beach and Napili Bay.

The perfect setting for our first lunch, the restaurant features terrific service and even more extraordinary food. We started our meal with calamari, tasty and fresh. My husband tried the house special Mango With Chicken Salad which featured pineapple, mangoes, and other tropical fruit. He loved it. I opted for the Seafood Cioppino, which was good but I felt that a few of the mussels had been around too long and did not taste as fresh as I would have liked.

Our dessert choices rounded off a great meal. The coconut sorbet arrived, topped with fresh pineapple, kiwi and mangoes. It was not too sweet but just “islandy” enough to satisfy our craving for tropical fruit and coconut flavors. I ordered the coconut crème brulee. If you like coconut and crème brulee, read no further and catch the next flight out to Maui. If you need convincing, the crème brulee featured toasted coconut pieces and creamy custard which filled my mouth with the aroma of mild coconut. The carmelized sugar topping was thick (just the way I like it) with a dollop of whipped cream. Fresh strawberries, caramel and chocolate drizzled on the plate tempted me to lick every morsel and leave the plate sparkling clean.

Pricewise, here’s what we paid: Seafood Cioppino $14.00, Macadamia Shrimp $12.00, Mango with Chicken Salad $12.00, Coconut Sorbet With Fruit $5.50, Coconut Crème Brulee $7.00.

While we dined, we gazed out onto the ocean and periodically saw spouts of water emerge from the surface, signaling a surfacing humpback whale. What more ambiance could one want?

We will remember this restaurant as the place where we had our first meal on Maui. When we return, we’ll keep this tradition alive.
