A Culinary Fusion Above the Pacific

Perched overlooking the golden sands of Wailea Beach, Spago brings Wolfgang Puck’s signature blend of Hawaiian-inflected Californian cuisine to the heart of Maui. The dining room feels like a refined, open-air pavilion, where the constant breeze carries the scent of fresh ginger and kiawe-grilled fish. It is an elevated space, perfect for those evenings when you want to trade casual beachwear for something a bit more polished while still feeling the island pulse.

Signature Flavors and Global Influence

The kitchen stays true to its roots with the iconic Chinois Chicken Salad, but the real magic lies in the local sourcing. You will find the Big Eye Tuna Tartare cones—a staple that hits the palate with a sharp, cold snap of sesame oil and chili. Chef Cameron Lewark’s team works closely with Maui farmers, incorporating local Kona lobster and Upcountry vegetables into a menu that feels rooted in the landscape. The butter-poached mahi-mahi is a masterclass in texture, served alongside seasonal ingredients that change as fast as the island weather.

The Details in the Atmosphere

The room is expansive, but the acoustic energy can climb when the sunset crowd settles in. Expect a lively, rhythmic hum of conversation punctuated by the clinking of glasses. The staff moves with a practiced, seamless grace, navigating the tables with an ease that suggests they’ve been part of the Wailea scene since the restaurant’s inception. Pro tip: secure a table on the far edge of the lanai; the sight of the sun dropping below the horizon as the tiki torches flicker to life is unmatched. Just keep in mind that the valet line can get backed up during prime reservation hours, so allow yourself a few extra minutes to transition from the coastal drive into the resort’s refined pace.

Amazing service, delicious food, and unbelievable views make this a must visit in Maui. We celebrated my husband's birthday dinner here and the whole family had an wonderful experience.

Spago Maui is a beautiful restaurant in a stunning setting, with a warm atmosphere, attentive staff, and excellent service. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome and well taken care of. That said, the food did not quite live up to our expectations. It was certainly good, but not great, especially considering the Wolfgang Puck name. We have dined at several Wolfgang Puck restaurants over the years, and one thing we have always appreciated is how even the simplest dishes tend to be elevated and surprisingly memorable. At Spago Maui, we were expecting that same level of creativity and execution, but the dishes felt more ordinary than exceptional. Nothing was disappointing, but nothing really stood out either. In the end, that also made the experience feel overpriced for what it was. Food was sadly not living up to the name! Overall, it is a lovely restaurant with great service and a beautiful location. We enjoyed our evening, but the culinary experience did not quite match the high standards we have come to associate with the Wolfgang Puck brand.

Spago felt more like a lovely dinner spot than a destination for celebrating a special occasion, as our anniversary wasn’t acknowledged during the meal by our main server. We had been quite spoiled at the Fairmont restaurants and at Ferraro’s, where we were given wonderful sunset-view tables and where our anniversary was warmly acknowledged. At Spago, we were seated three rows back near the bar. Fair enough—only so many tables can have prime placement—but unlike Ferraro’s, there was no acknowledgment of our anniversary at all. No “Happy Anniversary,” and no sense that it had been noted. I assumed I must have left it off the reservation, as there was no recognition during service. The only mention came from Vicky, the assistant server, who remarked on how unusual 31 years of marriage is and asked our secret. That was appreciated, but it was the extent of it. Our main server was professional but somewhat perfunctory and not especially warm. Vicky, on the other hand, was friendly and genuinely pleasant. On the food side, there were some bright spots. I enjoyed the Guava Lava—a lemon, coconut, and pineapple cocktail that drinks like dessert. The bread platter was a highlight: onion sourdough focaccia, Samoan rolls, and wheat-and-thyme flatbread crisps served with butter, yuzu, and baba ghanoush. I also enjoyed the macadamia nut–crusted mahi mahi, which was well prepared. For dessert, we ordered the Lemon Zinger. Only ten are made each night due to the labor involved. It was light, refreshing, and nicely done. “Happy Anniversary” was written in chocolate on the plate—there, we were finally celebrated, Spago-style, thanks to Vicky. If you’re there on a Saturday or Sunday evening, you can catch a partial view of the Fire Knife show, which takes place at 6:30 pm and is visible from the balcony.

We had an ocean front view, but had to move inside due to the high winds. We had a great waiter and the food was absolutely wonderful. We were celebrating mine and my husbands birthday. So the chef came to our table and offered a wonderful array of desserts for us. Would def. Dine here again.

Absolutely amazing. One of the best restaurants we’ve ever been to. Made reservations for dinner the night of our wedding. Service was incredible, a server who wasn’t ours even ordered us an app on the house just because they saw us celebrating our day. The manager brought us to our table, and our server was so attentive and sweet. The food is to die for, every dish was carefully prepared and plated to perfection. Would definitely recommend for the food, service, and overall experience.

Amazing food and beautiful atmosphere at Spago. Every dish was delicious and the service was great. The only downside is that it’s definitely on the pricey side, but overall a really good experience.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and it was a great choice. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was delicious, and our server was very knowledgeable and helped me pick something I loved. I also really appreciated that they could make most dishes gluten-free. Overall, we had a wonderful experience- highly recommend!

Spago is located within the Four Seasons and is what you'd expect for service. Valet was seamless and required. The resort is beautiful and the food was amazing. Tyler A. was our server and was thorough, attentive and informative. The A5 Wagyu fresh in was buttery moist and melted in your mouth

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Masterpiece in Wailea If you are looking for the absolute pinnacle of dining on Maui, Spago at the Four Seasons is it. From the moment we stepped into the open-air dining room, we knew we were in for something special. The combination of Wolfgang Puck’s legendary California-Asian fusion and the fresh, vibrant spirit of Hawaii is nothing short of magic. The Service: Pure "Aloha" Professionalism I cannot say enough about the staff. The service here isn't just "good"—it is world-class. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through the wine list and the daily specials with genuine passion. What stood out most was the attentiveness without being intrusive. They seemed to anticipate every need, from refreshing our drinks at the perfect moment to the tableside deboning of the fresh fish, which was handled with the precision of an art form. It’s clear that the team here operates at a level of excellence that matches the Four Seasons’ five-star reputation. The Food: A Culinary Journey Every dish that hit the table was a "wow" moment. We started with the iconic Spicy Ahi Poke Cones—the crunch of the sesame-miso cone against the buttery, spicy tuna is a texture and flavor explosion you simply have to experience. For the main course, the Grilled Mahimahi with pineapple-ginger barbecue sauce was the highlight of the night. It tasted like Hawaii on a plate—fresh, sweet, and perfectly balanced. We also tried the Hand Cut Tagliatelle with Wagyu Ragout, which was incredibly rich and comforting. Even the bread service, featuring their signature onion focaccia, was addictive. Pro-Tips for Your Visit: • The View: Try to snag a reservation right before sunset. The view of the Pacific from the lanai is breathtaking and provides the perfect backdrop for your meal. • Signature Sips: Don't skip the cocktails! The Haleakala Fire (tequila and jalapeño) is a must-try for anyone who likes a bit of heat. • Save Room for Dessert: The Guava Pavlova is light, airy, and the perfect tropical finish. Spago is definitely a "special occasion" splurge, but for the quality of food and the impeccable service, it is worth every penny. We will be dreaming about this meal until our next trip to Maui!

Four Seasons quality. The service was outstanding. We started at the bar while waiting for our table (we arrived 30 minutes early to enjoy a cocktail, totally recommended). The barman was great, and you "feel the service" right away. He explained the menu (at the bar) and prepared a few cocktails, including my favorite negroni. Then, at the table, the waitress was really nice and made good conversation. We had gnocchi (which wasn't the best, in my opinion), a really good sushi (avocado salmon), a macadamia nut-crusted fish (excellent), and a chocolate soufflé (good). The views are amazing and very romantic for enjoying the sunset.
