Lanai City Restaurants

We made 5:45 reservations for Valentine’s Day dinner. Our table wasn’t ready for 25 minutes after, but it was worth the wait. The menu was limited, but my wife and I found an entree’s that was delicious. My wife had ahi tuna and I had chicken. Both meals were prepared perfectly and the food was great. Our server, Astrid, was cordial, prompt, attentive, and competent. We tipped generously, as she earned it. Very nice evening.

Amazing experience! So many good choices. My husband and I’s favorites are eggplant appetizer, and butterfish! Adobo ribs are delicious, of course the star garlic noodle is definitely the signature. Only suggestion for the restaurant is I wish they could use a scissor to cut into the noddles somewhat when serving it so people can easily separate and share. This is definitely a must visit in Maui.

Service staff was great as well as the ambiance of the restaurant! The burrata sampler is definitely something to try there because it came with this luscious buttery bread. From the staff to the restaurant vibe, everything was great till the entrees started coming out. The burrata sampler was the only good dinner choice that came out of that restaurant for us. After that, it just seemed like someone either forgot to taste the food before taking it out to the table or the cook just has a high tolerance for salt because majority of the dishes were salty. The salad, ahi crudo, and octopus were the 2nd things that came out for us, thinking we would start off with something light, instead we got an overdressed salad which was salty, but the ahi dish was quite refreshing and the octopus was tender. Unfortunately we decided to return the salad dish and hoped the pastas will be better. My partner and I love pasta and we love our pasta al dente because of that bite it gives, but sadly 3 of the 3 pasta dishes that we ordered were overly salted and very very al dente. We contemplated on returning the pasta dishes but it would’ve been too much dishes to send back, soo we just took home a lot of leftovers. We have never been more sad to lose our money here only to have been served salty hard dishes. Our server mentioned that the restaurant will be going under some renovations and will be adding a burrata/mozzarella bar. If we ever do come back, we will probably just be back for the burrata and bread and maybeee the ahi.

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