No, really, Humuhumunukunukuapua'a is the name of this restaurant located in the Grand Wailea A Waldorf Astoria Resort in south Maui.

Okay, let's cover the name. The Humuhumu-nukunuku-apua'a - Reef Triggerfish is the state fish of Hawaii and it really does have a name that long. Hard to say at first so you need to break it down like this...

Humu
Humu
Nuku
Nuku
Apua'a

Better? Not to worry then, it's commonly just called Humu-Humu (as in Hoomoo-hoomoo).

The restaurant here is located over a million gallon saltwater lagoon which is pretty neat and gives it an ultra-tropical feel inside. On the down side, we've been by this lagoon many times and it sometimes stinks of stagnant water.

This is a pricey option and only offers dinner. If you go you can expect a variety of high end beef and seafood dishes.
