Best Maui Restaurants As Voted By The People Of Maui in 2007BY BUCK QUAYLE This initial list of The Best Maui Restaurants as voted by the people of Maui is from the Maui News annual reader's poll. The ratings change annually-and you can check the Maui News website for updates-but,in good part, the list is also timeless. Just the other day, in 1970, Don and Sharm Graydon were telling me about this great French restaurant called Chez Paul. Not only was the French food good, but the restaurant,itself, was perhaps the best on Maui. Very expensive, but worth it. Others, such as the Rusty Harpoon, were advertising with us every week. The owner wanted tourists to think they had to visit during happy hour.
