The view was amazing and atmosphere so very relaxing. The food was nothing short of perfection. I have never had lamb chops so tender and flavorful. The wait staff were amazing and the musician and dancer lent just the right touch of entertaining zen. They were both entertaining and relaxing to hear and watch. Of course the hotel makes you feel transported to such a relaxing magical place that the feeling begins when you walk in. The location, setting , view, wait staff, delicious food and calming entertainment were second to none in my humble opinion. Kudos to Halani!

What a great restaurant! The food was delicious and the live music was wonderful. It is a beautiful hotel!

The quality of the food was disappointing. We ordered the Chicken tagine and the daily fresh fish which was Mahi-mahi. The chicken had no flavor and the Mahi Mahi was substituted with Kanpachi.

Love it there! Our waitress was great and food was great except my steak came cold and they took it back and put it back on grill and it was then only warm Too much to pay to not have warm steak! Love the bread balloon

A lovely evening at a restaurant that seems to have found its stride in menu offerings. It has expanded its seating in a way which affords more outdoor options. Totally pleasant from start to finish. The wait staff are attentive and professional as well

Staff was very friendly, from valet parking, to restaurant, hostess, to wait staff. Everybody. Food was delicious and the new Med menu is a hit!

The menu is quite limited especially if you don't want spicy foods. For example both pasta dishes are spicy -- arrabiata or black pepper. The seared ahi steak was coated in an ample amount of black pepper although this was not described on the menu or mentioned by the server. The coating was very tough to the point where it was difficult to cut. The accompanying orzo was oily. Wine by the glass was expensive. Many whites were $24 - 26 per glass. Would not recommend this restaurant.

Lunch menu on 1/17/2026 did not deliver what the reviews shared we would experience.. The food menu was very limited and we came for the lobster mac and cheese and other menu items that were posted but they hadn't served some of those items in over 2.5 years.
Don't come for lunch.. They said breakfast and dinner are better to come for..

visited with my fiance & ordered the katsu burger and blackened fresh catch. both were very delicious! ordered a whiskey sour which was tasy but STRONG. valet parked is validated, making it a real perk to visit the luxurious hotel & walk around.
the restaurant was almost entirely empty and we waited over 1.5 hours for our food (literally just salads and sandwiches). Do not come here.

Great little place, with wonderful atmosphere. The Ube pancakes are delicious. It would be helpful for the website to indicate end times for the breakfast menu- It was frustrating to arrive for our reservation at 11:30 only to find out we could not order breakfast menu items.

Tucked away within a resort with valet parking only but the restaurant validates parking. Really Ng kid food and service. Would highly recommend!
