Baci (very posh Italian restaurant in Waikiki) had corkage fee of about $10. This was a decade ago -- but a quick web search has found dozens of restaurants in Hawaii with reasonable corkage fees (as little as $1 for many!) ... so you should have no problem bringing your own wine.

However the new place was a Dining miles participant so I was surprised when the miles posted to my AA account.

Google search on "hawaii corkage fee" ... yields such results as http://www.hawaiirestaurants.com/Oahu/French.htm
Not surprised that Baci went downhill ... it is almost inevitable in that market (they did have great hawaiian-grown garlic as a theme ingredient).

Very sorry to tell you, but unlike the rest of Hawaii, Maui county does not allow you to bring your own wine to a licensed establishment. In my last few visits to Maui, I have found them to be very strict about adhering to this law.

If you find a restaurant w/out a liquor license though you may be able to bring your bottle and pay a small corkage fee. The tough part will be finding a restaurant w/out a license.

I have never been there, but none of the HI locals I know go there either. Paia is not exactly noted for its fine dining establishments. I often stop at the fish restaurant on the SW corner by the single Paia light. They make a really great tasting big fresh fish sandwich, fish plate etc right before your very eyes.

I suppose it not really considered to be Paia.

I guess my wife doesnt notice the noise level at Mama's (but my wallet sure does)evertime I say were are going to Maui(3 trips in the last 4 years) the next word she says is "Mama's Fishouse"
Seriously though if you get an early evening booking, the beautiful sunset and the dozens of colorful windsurfers in the bay can make it a real enjoyable outing.

Like the name says it's for picnics or sandwiches to take out on your drive to Hana.
I second the restaurant on the corner have been there several times for lunch.The fish company.
Mama's is the place to dine....be sure and take a large wallet,the view is wonderful at sunset.

Favorite Restaurants in Maui??
After reading several posts on this forum, it's evident that many of you are very familiar with Maui. I travel to Maui frequently...will be going over three times this year...and am always on the lookout for new restaurants to try. We prefer the more upscale restaurants for most dinners but are not adverse to pizza, burgers or whatever occasionally.
Our current favorite restaurants in Maui are:
Gerard's in Lahaina
The Plantation House in Kapalua
Ruth's Chris in Lahaina
Anyone else have any personal favorites??
