“Totally awesome authentic burger place. My only regret was not ordering another burger. My sister had the Surf Burger and I had the Hi-Heat. On the drive back to our hotel, we just randomly kept saying what a great burger those were. Honestly surprised we didn’t turn around and go back for more.“

“This was our second visit to Halani as the first time was perfect. The hotel is stunning with a lovely relaxed vibe, staff are genuinely warm and friendly. I had the blackened ahi steak on both visits as it's so good, rare tuna with a lovely spiced coating and Asian influence in the coconut curried giant couscous. Try the deserts! The baked Hawaiian was a tropical take on baked Alaska, and the bread pudding was light and delicious. We'll be back again I hope.“

“The outdoor-like environment allowed us to enjoy our meal in an open environment although we were situated on the inner side of the restaurant. The service was very good. The staff was efficient, courteous, and attentive. My wife had ribs and the meat fell of the bone. I enjoyed the pan fried ono. Each dish was filling and very flavorful. We also had a chocolate dipped ice cream dessert that was large enough for both of us to enjoy. It was the topping on top of an already great dinner. Overall, our experience was excellent!“

“BEST SERVICE WE RECEIVED ON THE ISLAND Came here for our last dinner of the week and we're lucky enough to have Daniel as our server. He was incredibly welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu and cocktail options. Our whole group thought he stood out for his level of service, so wanted to shout him out here. Everyone enjoyed their food and it came out quick.“
