The Beachcomber is a wonderful place for breakfast or lunch. I have not tried dinner there. You are literally at the edge of the sand with full views and sounds of the ocean at Crystal Cove. Just having a meal here is like being on a mini vacation.

Love mama’s! We try to go every time we’re in Maui and it’s always delicious. Pau Hana is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Love the ambience too and staff is always very friendly.

Food selection was excellent. Wine and cocktails were delicious. Happy most of their wine was from Spain since it pairs so well with food. Service was exceptional and very considerate. Lovely, cozy place to enjoy a shared meal with a big group without too the pretentiousness of bougie restaurants.

Terrific! Strong drinks, delicious food, spot on service. Dave was attentive and pleasant. Maria was very professional also. We had the crab/shrimp cakes, fish special and chicken Marsala. All were perfectly prepared. The anniversary couple appreciated the crème brûlée and everyone at the table enjoyed the bread pudding. Perfect afternoon! The manager on duty was quite friendly. This is our go to restaurant for any celebration, and sometimes just for a lovely lunch!

This was my first time on the new covered patio. It's as wonderful as I thought it was going to be. I'm now looking forward to being there during different kinds of weather to enjoy all of the things that can be done with it. When you add the great food and perfect view you just can't go wrong. Right now they have fried green tomatoes back on the menu and they're better than ever. I already look forward to my next visit.
