Where To Go For A Reception Dinner In Maui?!

Shmoolie88

     We are planning our wedding for this year in December and was wondering if anyone had an idea of what restaurant would be great for a reception dinner?

     Thanks!

Which area of the island, approximately how many people, and what's your budget?  Some possibilities, but can be somewhat pricey:

Hali'imaile General Store - nowhere near the water, but possibly the best food on the island
Mama's Fish House - killer view up on the North side
Mala Wailea - delicious but pricey in the Marriott Wailea
Five Plams - don't know anything about them for dinner, but they are great for breakfast and have a nice open location near the beach
Gannon's

Merriman's on the West Side also!

We plan on staying in Kihei and only immediate family are coming down for the wedding (9 people). Would a Luau be another good idea?

Also 5 Palms has great food for dinner! I was actually thinking about going there the night before the wedding!

There's a pretty good Luau at the Marriott / Grand Wailea, but I think it was like $75/pp (group discounts can apply).  For that price, I would personally prefer to use the luau as the rehearsal dinner or other welcome event, and a slightly more upscale food / sitdown experience for the reception.  Butttttt I am also a huge foodie and food snob.

Shmoolie - for 2 days now it's shown that you replied again but I can never see your post.  If you were looking for an answer, mind reposting?
