Best American Restaurants in Lanai City

Monkeypod is definitely one of my most favorite restaurants on Maui. I go to both locations frequently, but Whalers Village is my favorite. The food is outstanding and the staff is amazing and the view is spectacular. I recommend this as a destination for all occasions.

We are huge fans of Merrimans and Monkeypod Kitchen and visit when we are lucky enough to get a resy and the location in Wailea has the best service despite being in a strip mall a little further from the ocean. Our Christmas Eve lunch did not disappoint. We tried some new things on the menu, their market fish was prepare perfectly and we ended the meal with the pies. The mai tais are also the best in Hawaii.

We went on a Tuesday , turns out they serve a limited menu and it’s mostly Mexican - tacos, etc. we were disappointed at first to miss the larger selection but this food was incredible- better than anything we had at the 2 four season resorts and possible the best street tacos we’ve ever tasted. 10/10. I wish we made it out here for dinner more nights from our trip!

I love the menu. So many unique and yummy dishes with all sorts of flavors.
