Sinalei alternates evening meals between its two restaurants. The pier restaurant is the pick of the two, offering an eclectic menu of Samoan dishes, Japanese noodles, pastas, salad and grills in a romantic waterside setting. Themed buffet dinners are served in the fale restaurant. Wednesdays are fiafia nights (the knife-throwing show is famous); stuff yourself silly at the Saturday barbecue.
