Tiffany's Bar & Grill
About
A Wailuku Institution Reimagined
Stepping into Tiffany’s Bar & Grill offers a rare glimpse into the authentic pulse of central Maui. Under the culinary direction of Chef Sheldon Simeon, this neighborhood haunt has transitioned from a legendary local dive to a celebrated kitchen that honors Hawaii’s diverse food culture. The space retains its unpretentious, high-ceilinged charm, buzzing with the steady hum of residents catching up over cold beers and plates that defy standard bar food expectations.
Flavors That Define the Valley Isle
The menu serves as a love letter to local favorites. You will find the kitchen executing elevated versions of classics like the savory Mochiko Chicken and expertly prepared pork adobo. Each dish arrives with the kind of comfort-driven heat and spice that keeps patrons returning. The smell of frying garlic and caramelized soy sauce often drifts from the kitchen, anchoring the room in the unmistakable aroma of island comfort cooking.
What to Expect Before You Arrive
This isn't a place for hushed whispers or white-tablecloth pretense. It is loud, vibrant, and packed with energy, especially as the evening settles over Wailuku. Be prepared for a lively atmosphere where the acoustics can get a bit boisterous—it is the sound of a community enjoying itself. Finding a spot to park can occasionally become a scavenger hunt during peak hours, but the tradeoff is a seat at one of the few truly iconic establishments left in the area. Whether you are looking for a post-work pau hana drink or a full-blown dinner with friends, Tiffany’s offers a seat at the table for those who prefer their dining with a side of local personality.

Some of the best food I’ve ever had on Maui. My Maui go-to’s for local food are usually Tinroof and Da Kitchen, but Tiffany’s is now definitely on my “must visit” list for Maui now. It’s so good that my bestie and I went multiple times in just a few days. Our first server was Ashley, and she’s super attentive and knowledgeable about menu and even asked us about food allergies and sensitivities. As a server with 10+ years of experience, 11/10 service with her and everyone else we’ve experienced, including Chef Sheldon, who is one of the sweetest chef-owners I’ve met in ages (out of multiple cities, states, and countries). I’ve been mostly vegan lately but make exceptions when I travel and dine with others and was soooo happy to break diet at Tiffany’s. I saw that they were doing a lechon special for Xmas and NYE, so of course we had to order the crispy pork belly. The miso cod at Tiffany’s is also as good as Nuka’s (one of my two favorite sushi spots on island) except Tiffany’s gives you three times as much for about the same price. My bestie just had to get a fairly invasive surgery and won’t be able to eat solid food for a while, so we ordered their tomahawk as a bit of a last supper. We were in a bit of a rush (I needed to meet another volunteer at the airport to help fly some kittens to mainland), and Chef Sheldon was able to fire the steak in time for us to not have to rush our entire meal. The steak was also cooked perfectly and rivaled the steak we had at Havens Harborside (and our Tiffany’s bill was much smaller). We’ve ordered their mandoo every time, and they’ve been fantastic every time. The garlic bok choy is made with local bok choy and is also delicious. Highly recommend dumping any remaining sauce from the miso butterfish onto the bok choy for a potentially life-changing experience. I LOVE their lychee cocktail!

Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Atmo: 8/10 Tried several dishes and all were excellent. Miso butterfish Aji belly (FotD) Garlic nudes Service was friendly and attentive. Place felt a bit grungy and in need of a refresh, but was clean. That fish tank is in need of a cleaning and the seats were literally duct taped 😂

We were recommended this place by on of the workers at the wildlife refuge and it did not disappoint. If you want great food at a reasonable price Tiffany’s is the place. Garlic Chicken outstanding as were the Garlic Noodles - get the spicy style for sure. On top of all that the service was perfect.

The best meal we had during our one-week trip to Maui! The chicken was incredibly juicy with a perfect crispy finish, and the pork belly had that amazing crackling skin without feeling greasy. The steak bites were tender and full of flavor, and I absolutely loved the garlic noodles with their rich garlic and citrusy kick. Definitely a must-stop spot! We also learned the owner is Sheldon from Top Chef—no wonder everything was so delicious. Highly recommend! 👍

I am drooling as I write this review… my major regret was that I could only come with my husband and he wanted to eat light 🙄 can’t help who you love… Anyway, THIS PLACE IS SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD!!!!! I wish I could bathe in that miso butterfish sauce. I’ve had many iterations of miso sablefish, and this one was so buttery, deeply flavourful, and didn’t hold back. I’ll remember it. I saved the sauce and dipped the Caesar broccolini in it, which was also good for being vegetables. We were both pleasantly surprised by the cold truffle chicken dish with scallions. It’s reminiscent of Hainan chicken, but the truffle oil really made it stand out. We couldn’t get enough. It’s family style and portions are generous. Next time I’m going to yolo order and just eat leftovers for days if needed 🥰🥰

Tiffany’s was one of the most satisfying meals of our trip and felt like a genuine local gem. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this was a place the community actually frequents. Roughly 85% of the dining room appeared to be locals, which immediately set the tone and gave us confidence we were in the right spot. We ordered the garlic noodles, hamachi crudo, steak bites, and the eggplant dish, and every plate was exceptional. The flavors were vibrant, balanced, and confidently seasoned. After several meals in Wailea where dishes sometimes felt muted or overly restrained, this was a refreshing contrast. Each dish delivered clarity and depth. Service was friendly, prompt, and genuinely welcoming. The team struck the right balance of attentiveness without hovering, and the meal flowed smoothly from start to finish. We had hoped to return for a second visit but ran out of time on this trip. Tiffany’s will be at the top of our list on our next visit. It is the kind of place that reminds you why local favorites often outshine more polished resort dining.

We’ve definitely found our go-to spot when we visit Maui. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart and she recommended everything we ate that night— and all dishes did not disappoint! Flavors were on point, portions were very hefty for family servings, and even the refreshing drinks elevated the overall experience. We highly recommend the fried chicken with extra Sinigang dust (if you like sour) and honey walnut shrimp. (I swear they were like tiger prawns cause each shrimp were so huge! Steak bites were yummy and so were the garlic noodles and my favorite—- the Brussels sprouts! The sauce is very reminiscent of nuoc cham… the bitterness of the Brussels paired with the sweet and tangy flavors of the sauce were addictive. 5 star rating all around because of the ambiance… it’s got a retro meets White Lotus/Southeast Asian flair to it. The service was impeccable! And the food? Definitely coming back and trying the steak bites with Teri sauce this time! Also can we get the Palimig drink in a big gulp size?!! Lol It’s so refreshing and yummy.

We were recommended this restaurant by a local and it didn’t disappoint. Food was quite delicious, well seasoned and tasty. The only thing is the steak, I think in my personal opinion it was wayyy too hard and chewy, felt overcooked to me but the flavor was there so maybe it was just that batch. I would go back and try other stuff on the menu, everything looked quite good.

I was seriously craving some Filipino food while visiting the area, and after asking around, several locals pointed me to Tiffany’s. They all said it was the go-to spot and now I completely understand why. From the moment we walked in, I had a good feeling, and by the end of the night, we were already talking about coming back. We ended up ordering a lot of food, we wanted to try a little bit of everything, and honestly, it was all incredible. Some of the standout dishes for me were the Steak Bites, which were super tender and flavorful, and the Miso Butterfish, which just melted in your mouth. The Short Ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious, and both the Crispy Pork Belly and Crispy Chicken had that perfect crunch on the outside while staying juicy and rich on the inside. Every dish had a depth of flavor that really showed the love and care put into the cooking. Even with how much we ordered, the food came out hot and fresh, and the service was consistently friendly and on point. The staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of without being overbearing. You can tell they take pride in what they do, both in the kitchen and in the dining room. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, making it a great spot for pretty much any occasion - whether it’s a date night, casual dinner, or a big celebration with friends and family. We saw a mix of smaller tables and larger parties, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. It’s one of those places that strikes the perfect balance between feeling homey and festive. If you’re in the mood for bold, comforting Filipino flavors with a modern touch, Tiffany’s is 100% worth checking out. I left full, satisfied, and already thinking about what I’ll order next time. Don’t skip this spot, it’s a local gem!
