Hālani - Restaurant in Waimea - 68-1400 Mauna Lani Dr, USA

This place was truly so beautiful. We were at the Mauna Lani Resort for a week and we only made it to breakfast in person once but I’m so glad we went. I got the French toast and my wife got waffles and oh my goodness they were so amazing, I ended up getting French toast like, five times the rest of the week.. it was that good. We also tried the guava juice and it was delicious. I loved being able to watch people outside while we ate, and the staff was so courteous and kind and helpful. We ordered room service a few times with food from here, like hot dogs, burgers. grilled chicken, cesar salads, fish and chips , steak frites, and a few others. Everything was really good.

The best part about this place is the service and the atmosphere, the restaurant is located inside the resort, the service is top notch, they made you feel special even thought I didn’t stay there. The food is okay, ordered the mix green salad (average), prawns on the side (average) Brussels sprouts (below average), lobster Mac and cheese (very good). The beach is amazing, they let us walk around the resort it is so beautiful, would definitely come back and stay here next time.

This place was pure magic to me. The food was incredible, down to the fruit and drinks. The ambiance was a dream. Pretty birds flying in and out, stunning plants surrounding, and lovely simple decor. I hope to go back!!

We came on a work appreciation dinner and it was the 8 of us. We were taken care of by Kia at Hālani and she was AMAZING. We were also celebrating the new baby to our work ohana and the atmosphere for the event was perfect. The lighting was very subtle, and the seating was very comfy as well as the live music. We all ordered various foods but the best of the night had to have been the Truffle fries with the Aioli and the side order of Kimchi which was just YUMMM. I would definitely say that it is kid friendly as well as the options for food too. Just perfect all around.

If you have more than 3 people you should try to fresh fish (we had kona kampachi) see pictures. Freaking mad delicious with rum based Mai tais, sangria and espresso martinis. Excellent service from Corrie.

First time visiting Halani for my anniversary. Beautiful hotel and truly the feeling of Hawai'i as you enter! 3 hr valet is included with validated ticket... The drinks are well crafted but priced higher than even other resorts on Kohala Coast. The service was absolutely top-notch and the tables well laid out to allow for quiet conversation without overhearing other tables. The menu is broad and likely has something for everyone but to be honest the flavors were a little underwhelming. My wife's seared Ahi on coconut curry couscous was spectacular but my braised short rib didn't have any of the truffle flavor it advertised but rather a lot of raw panko crumbs poured over it... I enjoyed the evening but I will likely go elsewhere in the future for my celebration meals at this price point.

I think it's the best restaurant in Hawaii. Poke nacho is especially great.The luxurious atmosphere and dedicated staff make the restaurant more valuable. You can do valet parking at the entrance of the hotel, and you can get a parking ticket approved by the restaurant staff.

First of all, the resort is grand and impressive. Dinner was amazing. Great food, atmosphere, and service. The complimentary rolls, octopus salad, shrimp pizza, squid ink pasta with prawns, local catch fish, ice cream/sorbet. Parking was valet and dinner gets you 3hr of validated parking.
