AMA Bar & Grill

We used the swim-up bar to enjoy some cocktails. I wanted to give a shout-out to the lady and man bartenders working on Friday, Dec 12 evening who was really nice, warm and friendly. Sorry I didn't get their names. They kept the snack mix refilled and created a funny, warm atmosphere.

My wife and I visited this restaurant on 9/29/2025 and ordered two AMA burgers. We were served by a woman around 45–50 years old. Our order arrived after 30 minutes 🤬. The food tasted fine. After that, we asked a man passing by, around 30 years old, to bring us the check, but he said he wasn’t our waiter and told us to ask another server. That really upset me, which is why I gave this rating.

10/10 recommended! Menu offered at the swim up as well! Delicious! And Chris and Chris are the best!

This pool side restaurant is a diamond in the rough. Surrounded by award winning restaurants like Nicks and Ko, AMA can hold its own! Their dinner menu is full of flavor rich items from sharable, to entrees. I highly recommend the seafood platter that offers a half size of all their RAW bar offerings. My entree, steak frites was cooked to perfection. I also loved that they had gluten free options clearly marked on the menu and catered to my allergies without making me feel like a burden. I suggest going for dinner so you can enjoy a gorgeous view of the ocean/sunset while sipping on a glass of wine or a well crafted cocktail. Thank you for the amazing service and great dinner, we will be back for sure!

Great food and beautiful views. Husband and I had salads and they were delicious. Kids had burgers and they were good too. Drinks were well made. Been here 6 days and that was the best meal we’ve had so far on the island.

The menu is incredible and the seafood is so fresh and prepared to perfection. We must have tried every dish. All the flavors go so well together no matter what you order. My favorites are the menu Oysters, Beet salad, clams, seafood platter all the desserts! So tasty and gorgeous ocean view. Take your friends and have a nice evening!

What a hidden gem! Great spot for a date night with ocean and sunset views!! Food and service was outstanding!!! We had the seafood platter to start, hard to pick a favorite but the salmon, oysters & lobsters were my personal picks. Then we had the beet salad & watermelon salad, great pallet cleansers, refreshing and tasty! Next was the chimichuri steak & fries, miso butterfish, chicken kabob and brussel sprouts. Again everything was great but the steak and fries were my favorite. Then we tried the sorbets and cream pies for dessert. All winners but the chocolate caramel cream pie and coconut lime cream pie didn't last long...lol I highly recommend going before this little restaurant gets too popular to get a table!!!

We came to this restaurant because we had paid for a one day pass to the resort to enjoy the beach and pool. Sadly this was the WORST meal we had in our time in Hawaii: my husband’s fish tasted fishy (and made his stomach ache), my shrimp didn’t taste fresh at all, the server served other tables that had gotten there after us, to name a few of the reasons we wouldn’t go back. the flavors were decent but it was $80 for a salad and tacos that were probably worth $40 for what they tasted like.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Ama Bar and Grill at the Fairmont in Maui. Nick and Noel were behind the bar and served us amazing cocktails and we also had an awesome lunch of fish tacos and burgers. The setting was great- overlooking the pool ( part of the bar is a swim up bar) and the food was reasonably priced (for Hawaii) and great quality but what stood out to us the most was the way that Nick and Noel made us feel super welcome and pampered but in a chill and relaxed way. They embody the Aloha Spirit and solidified to us that Fairmont does it right. We are sold on this hotel chain based on the experiences we had both at the Maui and Big Island Fairmont Resorts due to the excellent staff.

Food is good. Disappointed in the Mai Tai’s. I would hope for the price it wouldn’t be a premix but made to order. It’s a good drink but a little too sweet for my taste. Regular chicken nachos would be a good compliment to the menu as my husband doesn’t care for poke fish. We just want a really good batch of nachos by the pool. Overall great service.
