Along with a large party of about a dozen other guests, I ate dinner at new Italian restaurant Saltimbocca. Located in the Maʻalaea Harbor Shops, the space was formerly home to Maʻalaea Grill and then Maʻalaea Waterfront Restaurant, which recently closed its doors in August 2013.
The venue itself is beautiful, and always has been, with views of Maʻalaea Harbor and Haleakalā. There are also patio tables available, however it might be safer to sit inside since Maʻalaea is ranked the second windiest harbor in the world (Wellington Harbor of New Zealand's North Island is the windiest). The only drawback for the restaurant's owners is that there's not much foot traffic. So on this Tuesday night we had almost half the restaurant to ourselves. But for some reason it still took almost half an hour after ordering before we finally got our appetizers.
