When eating in Maui who wants to waste anytime in the interior of a restaurant? Not me. Ma La is in a unique location overlooking the Pacific Ocean, in fact the patio deck is over the water. We dined in the main dining room enjoying the picture window at sunset.The menu is loaded with creative and tasty dishes served in a tapas styles. The chef not only features Spanish and Mediterranean tastes, but also Hawaiian and Japanese. The varied menu offers something for everyone including those from the meat and potato crowd.
The standouts of our evening included sugar snap peas with chili, oyster shooter with wasabi and soy, garlic and cheese lavish, shrimp and lettuce lavish, and the Kobe cheeseburger.
Other dishes we enjoyed where the beet and goat cheese salad, and chocolate
soufflé. Oh, and the fires taste mighty good when dipped in the aoli!
