Best Casual Restaurants in Kaanapali

Live music was outstanding and the service was attentive. The food was was great and exceeded expectations. A great experience overall.

The fat was great and our server Michaela made everything even better as she was one of the best servers we’ve ever had. One of the top two meals we’ve ever had in Hawaii.

Bon the server was amazing!! 5 star service. Definitely ask for Bon

I recently dined at Son’z restaurant and while there were some enjoyable moments, there were also some areas that could be improved. When we ordered the red wine, it was served in a chilled glass, which was unexpected. Usually, red wine is served in a temperature controlled glass to enhance its flavor, so this presentation was a little disappointing. When we raised this issue with our server, he was initially a little frustrated. However, he later acknowledged our point and became more welcoming. During our meal, he made a point to check in on us, asking how the food was and if we needed anything else, which made us feel more valued as guests. Despite the initial hiccups, we still enjoyed our meal and the overall ambience. In the end, we decided to leave a tip of over 40% to show our appreciation, which made him very happy. It was a great way to end our dining experience. Overall, I appreciated the experience but hope they will consider tweaking their wine service in the future.

What needs to be said about Monkeypod - everyone knows it’s the best. Incredible food, unbeatable vibe and top notch service. We went for Christmas Eve - made our reservation a week prior. It was packed, but they got us seated just a few minutes after our reservation time. I had the Ahi tuna steak - still dreaming about the jalapeño mashed potatoes. My husband had the macadamia nut crusted mahi and we both had the legendary Mai Tai’s. There was live music, which was so fun - especially for our 2-year old who loves to dance. 10/10 - couldn’t have had a better experience.
