WM Maui's most elegant restaurant opened in 2005 and CLOSED in 2006 in Honokowai, a couple miles north of Kaanapali Beach. WM stands for West Maui and it was at the former site of A Pacific Cafe in the Honokowai Markeplace shopping center, on the corner of Honoapiilani Highway and the Lower Honoapiilani Road. Phone 808-667-7898. Plush dark booths created a romantic ambiance and top-notch service created a fine dining experience. Caesar salad and Pineapple Flambe dessert were created tableside. WM menu included special preparations of meats and seafoods, with both the decor and the food being metropolitan style, as you might find in any big American city. (See below for some specific WM menu items as well as photos.) Expensive and luxurious, but not tropical. Bad concept for this area, so only lasted one year. |
