Manalo Lounge is a popular upscale spot on Oahu known for its relaxed ambiance, great drinks, and flavorful small bites. The open-air setting offers beautiful views, especially around sunset, making it a perfect place to unwind without feeling formal. The menu features a variety of share-style dishes, with favorites including cauliflower bites, gyoza, and the Toasted Rice Ice cream sundae, which many consider the best dessert on the trip. The cauliflower was consistently praised for its quality, and the sundae was described as a perfect blend of sweet and salty. Other notable dishes include black cod, wagyu skewer, and tiger prawns, with some reviews noting that the food is decent but not overly amazing.
The lounge boasts a strong drink selection, including local Hana Koa beer, which is rarely available elsewhere in Hawaii. The cocktails are well-crafted and balanced, with drinks like the Summer Stout and Party Boy Pils earning high marks. The service is generally friendly and attentive, with staff making good recommendations and accommodating dietary preferences. However, some reviews mentioned occasional slow service and minor issues like a fly in a water glass, but overall, staff members like Justin, Kerry, and Shanice contributed to a positive experience.
While prices are in line with resort standards, many feel the quality and atmosphere justify the cost. Visitors appreciate the friendly, welcoming vibe, especially during sunset or after a day at the beach. Overall, Manalo Lounge offers a great combination of good drinks, flavorful snacks, and a beautiful setting, making it a must-visit for those seeking a relaxed, upscale lounge experience in Hawaii.
