Mala Ocean Tavern would like to invite you to join us on Friday, December 16, 2022 for a Happy Hour 2-4p fundraiser, benefiting "Shaka For Suede". Suede Ducheneau is 5 years old and in July of 2022 was diagnosed with moderately severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, his sister Roux just turned 4 and within the last month has also been diagnosed with hearing loss. Both children must undergo testing and continually monitor the rate of progression of their hearing loss. At MALA, we are trying to raise funds for "Shaka For Suede" to reach the goal of $8000.00 to cover the expenses for the upcoming year. We thank you in advance for any donation you can make to "Shaka For Suede".

With predecessor, local Chef Alvin Savella leaving Mala Ocean Tavern to start new sister restaurant Duckine, the MALA owners were able to turn to Sous Chef Kalei Ducheneau and Back of House Administrator Kate Ducheneau to maintain the quality and innovation that MALA has been known for.

We are so proud to announce and name Lisa Kerrick as General Manager at Māla Ocean Tavern.  Lisa comes to MĀLA with years of experience in the restaurant industry, enthusiasm for a career in the food and beverage, and the drive to continue to maintain MĀLA as a favorite in dining for locals and guests of Lahaina, Maui.
