Lanaʻi City Bar & Grille

Top choice in Lanaʻi


The charming restaurant within the Hotel Lanaʻi is the best midrange option in town. It has a country-chic feel and a menu combining fresh seafood with various meats, with options ranging from local venison loin and grilled Angus burgers to excellent snapper ceviche and sweet-spicy-glazed mahi-mahi in lobster broth.

The bar draws local movers and shakers, pours a fine highball, has a great wine list and is often open until 11pm! On Friday night there's live Hawaiian music. Happy hour is from 5pm weekdays. A recent expansion has added an enticing terrace.
