Love sushi?
My hubby and I both had to work yesterday, but we were able to end the day with a wonderful “date night” at the Cascades Grill and Sushi Bar in the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa. For those of you who are looking for a restaurant reception venue for your wedding or special event, there is no better place than the Cascades which offers excellent food and a view to die for (especially for the amazing Mau`i sunset)!
On their grill menu, you will find dishes such as Hibachi Style Snapper, Sauteed Trolled Mahi Mahi, Steaks (rib-eye, New York, Filet Mignon)… and of course they have a full sushi bar. Here were some of the items that we ordered last night:
Head Sushi Chef Jay Ledee with a large sashimi platter
Pupu (appetizer): Fried Poke
Poke Tartare with Tobiko, Soy, Chile and Yuzu Wasabi Caviar
Sashimi Plate - Shrimp, Ahi Tuna, Salmon, Madai, Tako
Maui Mike Roll (named after Hyatt’s General Manager, Mike J.) - Shrimp Tempura, Avocado, Spicy Tuna, wrapped in Shimaji and topped with Spicy Mayo, Sesame Ponzu and Tobiko
Spanish Mackerel with Ahi Tuna, Madai, Salmon and Tako
Funky Roll - Soft-Shell Crab, Snow Crab, Cucumber and Tobiko
24.3 oz of Kubota Hekijyu Sake
Cascades’ Own “Sake Box” - the requirement for putting your name & displaying your sake box on the Chef’s Shelf is that you need to finish the entire bottle of sake. Here’s our box with our Chinese names on it! :)
The sweet finale - Coconut Creme Brulee (coconut shell is white & dark chocolate) on a bed of brown sugar, with blackberries, raspberries and strawberries
The sushi was really fresh and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. Head Chef Jay Ledee told us that they get shipment of their seafood 6 days out of a week! Wow, that’s almost everyday! We had a great time sitting at the sushi bar and chatting with the Chefs while enjoying our dinner. We were there for 3-1/2 hours and it was a great evening.
If you are interested in having your dinner reception or a restaurant buy-out at Cascades, please send me an email for more information.
