PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Even after David Paul Johnson's departure, this Lahaina hot spot has maintained its popularity. It's still filled with chic, tanned diners in stylish aloha shirts, and there's still attitude aplenty at the entrance. The signature items remain: tequila shrimp and firecracker rice, Kona-coffee-roasted rack of lamb, Maui-onion-crusted seared ahi, and kalua duck quesadilla. As always, a special custom-designed chef's table can be arranged with 72 hours notice for larger parties. The ambience -- black-and-white tile floors, pressed-tin ceilings, eclectic 1890s decor -- is striking, and the bar, despite not having an ocean view, is the busiest spot in Lahaina.
